00:00:00.990 --> 00:00:03.480
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:06.750
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.650 --> 00:00:09.060
Welcome to today's program.
4
00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:12.600
My name is Rick Renner and
I've been waiting for you.
5
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:14.850
Thank you for letting me
come right into your space.
6
00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:17.430
We're going to have a great time today in Galatians
7
00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:20.700
5, where we're going to continue looking at the Works
8
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:23.880
of the Flesh VS The Fruit of the Spirit.
9
00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:26.460
And that's the name of the brand new series
10
00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:28.080
that I want you to order.
11
00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:30.090
It's a 10 part series called, The Works
12
00:00:30.090 --> 00:00:33.360
of the Flesh VS the Fruit of the Spirit.
13
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:37.350
And the subtitle says, You Choose..Death Permeated Works
14
00:00:37.350 --> 00:00:40.680
or Supernatural Life Giving Fruit.
15
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:44.310
And we really can choose which
one we're going to walk in
16
00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:46.500
and which one we're going to produce.
17
00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:48.870
And I know that you
wanna walk in the spirit
18
00:00:48.870 --> 00:00:51.330
and you want to produce
the fruit of the spirit.
19
00:00:51.330 --> 00:00:53.580
You just need to know how to do it.
20
00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:57.750
And that's why I'm teaching
this brand new series
21
00:00:57.750 --> 00:00:58.920
and I want you to order it.
22
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.990
And you can get yours
today by going online
23
00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:02.700
or by giving us a call.
24
00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:04.890
And it comes with a study guide.
25
00:01:04.890 --> 00:01:07.740
And believe me, this study
guide is really loaded.
26
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:10.260
It's huge. It's filled with all the points
27
00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:12.615
and the principles, the Greek words so
28
00:01:12.615 --> 00:01:15.870
that you can read it while you
hear it or while you see it.
29
00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:19.470
And right now we're also offering you my daily devotionals
30
00:01:19.470 --> 00:01:23.190
called Sparkling Gems from the Greek No.I
31
00:01:23.190 --> 00:01:25.050
and Sparkling Gems from the Greek
32
00:01:25.050 --> 00:01:27.570
No.II. In No.I,
33
00:01:27.570 --> 00:01:32.570
there are 1000 Greek word studies. In No.II,
34
00:01:32.610 --> 00:01:36.960
there's an additional 1000 Greek word studies.
35
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:39.510
If you already have No.I, then order No.II.
36
00:01:39.510 --> 00:01:40.890
If you have No.II, order No.I.
37
00:01:40.890 --> 00:01:43.740
It really doesn't matter which one you begin with
38
00:01:43.740 --> 00:01:45.840
because they are daily devotionals.
39
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.700
You just read a little bit every day.
40
00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:50.010
It is such a resource for you
41
00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:53.670
to understand the word
meanings in the New Testament,
42
00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:55.110
you will devour it.
43
00:01:55.110 --> 00:01:57.270
Thousands and thousands of people
44
00:01:57.270 --> 00:02:00.120
around the world use
these books, so I want you
45
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.620
to use them as well.
46
00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:04.620
And you can order yours
by going to renner.org
47
00:02:04.620 --> 00:02:06.690
or by giving us a call right now.
48
00:02:06.690 --> 00:02:09.630
And when you become a
partner with our ministry,
49
00:02:09.630 --> 00:02:11.760
we're gonna welcome you
into our partner family
50
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.700
by sending you Denise's book,
which is called The Gift
51
00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:15.870
of Forgiveness.
52
00:02:15.870 --> 00:02:17.640
It's small, but my friend.
53
00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:20.850
This is a powerful little
book about the forgiveness
54
00:02:20.850 --> 00:02:24.240
that God extends to you and
that you can give to others.
55
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.270
And we're also going to send you my book,
56
00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:30.540
which is called, Life in the Combat Zone, which is dedicated
57
00:02:30.540 --> 00:02:31.890
to partners.
58
00:02:31.890 --> 00:02:34.620
Partners are people who financially give
59
00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:38.100
to our ministry regularly
to help us take the teaching
60
00:02:38.100 --> 00:02:39.840
of the Bible around the world.
61
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.735
And please remember that if
you need prayer, we're waiting
62
00:02:42.735 --> 00:02:43.980
for the phone to ring
63
00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:46.860
or for your email to show up
in our inbox so we can begin
64
00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:48.630
to pray for you right now.
65
00:02:48.630 --> 00:02:51.030
So please reach out to us,
66
00:02:51.030 --> 00:02:53.790
but I'll be back in just a moment.
67
00:02:53.790 --> 00:02:56.970
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
68
00:02:56.970 --> 00:03:01.180
and your mind where the word
is the anchor in uncertain
69
00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:05.020
times and doctrine
doesn't bend to culture.
70
00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:07.270
We keep it simple,
71
00:03:07.270 --> 00:03:11.830
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
72
00:03:12.730 --> 00:03:14.620
a love that emboldens,
73
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:17.920
and a mission that touches the world.
74
00:03:20.230 --> 00:03:21.760
Let's join Rick Renner
75
00:03:24.310 --> 00:03:26.620
Today we're gonna return to Galatians 5:
76
00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:30.640
16, which is our anchor verse about walking in the
77
00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:34.390
spirit so we don't fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
78
00:03:34.390 --> 00:03:37.270
Ugh, the flesh is so ugly
79
00:03:37.270 --> 00:03:40.420
and I know that you don't want
to live in the flesh realm.
80
00:03:40.420 --> 00:03:44.110
So let's see what the Bible says in Galatians 5:
81
00:03:44.110 --> 00:03:46.690
16. Reach for your Bible.
82
00:03:46.690 --> 00:03:50.260
This is our anchor verse where Paul says - This
83
00:03:50.260 --> 00:03:52.840
I say then, walk in the spirit
84
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:57.460
and you shall not fulfill
the loss of the flesh.
85
00:03:57.460 --> 00:04:00.010
In Greek it says lego de.
86
00:04:00.010 --> 00:04:03.940
The word lego means I say,
but it's very emphatic.
87
00:04:03.940 --> 00:04:06.610
And then the apostle Paul adds the word de,
88
00:04:06.610 --> 00:04:09.430
which describes something that is emphatic
89
00:04:09.430 --> 00:04:11.485
or something that is categorical.
90
00:04:11.485 --> 00:04:13.420
It's like he's raising his voice
91
00:04:13.420 --> 00:04:14.980
and he's saying, now hear me.
92
00:04:14.980 --> 00:04:17.410
I'm telling you emphatically,
93
00:04:17.410 --> 00:04:22.120
I'm telling you absolutely, categorically he really wants us
94
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:24.280
to hear what he is about to say.
95
00:04:24.280 --> 00:04:27.580
I say, then emphatically, I say categorically,
96
00:04:27.580 --> 00:04:30.400
walk in the spirit
97
00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:35.400
and you will not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
98
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:36.670
When I was a boy, I thought
99
00:04:36.670 --> 00:04:39.400
that if I could walk in
the spirit once in a while,
100
00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:41.140
it would be a great victory.
101
00:04:41.140 --> 00:04:46.030
But this word walk means to
habitually walk in the spirit.
102
00:04:46.030 --> 00:04:49.270
And if God tells us, we can
habitually walk in the spirit,
103
00:04:49.270 --> 00:04:53.260
it means we can habitually
walk in the spirit.
104
00:04:53.260 --> 00:04:56.126
The word walk in Greek is the word peripateo.
105
00:04:56.126 --> 00:04:57.634
From the word peri,
106
00:04:57.634 --> 00:04:59.590
which describes something that is around you
107
00:04:59.590 --> 00:05:01.660
or something that is encircling.
108
00:05:01.660 --> 00:05:04.000
It's one general vicinity.
109
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.180
The word pateo, the 2nd part of the word means to walk.
110
00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:08.920
But when you compound
the two words together,
111
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:13.630
it pictures one who walks
around in one general facility
112
00:05:13.630 --> 00:05:15.310
as a matter of habit.
113
00:05:15.310 --> 00:05:18.010
It's where he lives, it's where he walks.
114
00:05:18.010 --> 00:05:20.200
His whole life is in this realm.
115
00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:24.070
And in fact, this word walk the Greek word, peripateo can
116
00:05:24.070 --> 00:05:25.930
be translated to live.
117
00:05:25.930 --> 00:05:28.030
So you could translate
it, walk in the spirit,
118
00:05:28.030 --> 00:05:30.520
or even live in the spirit.
119
00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:32.680
That should be our objective,
120
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.500
and that is what Paul
tells us in this verse.
121
00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:37.840
If you live in the spirit,
122
00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:42.220
you shall not fulfill
the lusts of the flesh.
123
00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:43.960
In Greek, the words shall not,
124
00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:46.270
are two words which are both translated.
125
00:05:46.270 --> 00:05:48.280
No; it's a double negative.
126
00:05:48.280 --> 00:05:52.150 line:15%
The first word is the word ou, which is emphatically no.
127
00:05:52.150 --> 00:05:53.560
The second word is the word - me,
128
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.290
which is a canceler also meaning no.
129
00:05:56.290 --> 00:05:58.250
But when you use two words together,
130
00:05:58.250 --> 00:06:01.760
it means absolutely not
in no way, in no wise,
131
00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:06.760
you will not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
132
00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:10.010 line:15%
The word flesh, the Greek word sarkos,
133
00:06:10.010 --> 00:06:12.680
which describes your
flesh, your carnal nature
134
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.810
or base instincts;
135
00:06:14.810 --> 00:06:19.370
you will not fulfill them if
you're walking in the spirit,
136
00:06:19.370 --> 00:06:22.220
which means you cannot
live in these two realms
137
00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:23.420
simultaneously.
138
00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:27.470
And Paul clearly guarantees us
that if we walk in the spirit
139
00:06:27.470 --> 00:06:30.020
and live habitually in the spirit,
140
00:06:30.020 --> 00:06:33.290
it pulls the plug on the flesh.
141
00:06:33.290 --> 00:06:35.000
It is a guarantee.
142
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.620
And the RIV of Galatians 5:16 is this,
143
00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:42.020
Make the path of the spirit the place
144
00:06:42.020 --> 00:06:44.480
where you habitually live and walk.
145
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.070
That's really what it means.
146
00:06:46.070 --> 00:06:49.790
Become so comfortable on this
spiritual path that you learn
147
00:06:49.790 --> 00:06:53.660
to leisurely and peacefully
stroll along in that realm.
148
00:06:53.660 --> 00:06:57.380
Living your life in this
spirit realm is the best way
149
00:06:57.380 --> 00:07:01.040
to guarantee that you will
not allow the yearnings
150
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:05.630
of your flesh to creep out
and fulfill themselves.
151
00:07:05.630 --> 00:07:09.590
Then in verse 19, he adds -
Now the works of the flesh.
152
00:07:09.590 --> 00:07:12.560
The word works, is a Greek word which describes hard labor
153
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:14.330
or hard work.
154
00:07:14.330 --> 00:07:18.560
It produces hard labor. That's
what the flesh brings forth.
155
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:22.520
It's hard, it's difficult, it's bad fruit.
156
00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:26.510
The fruits of the flesh are
manifest, which are these.
157
00:07:26.510 --> 00:07:30.650
And then he lists them
beginning in verses 19 to 21.
158
00:07:30.650 --> 00:07:34.580
He says, adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
159
00:07:34.580 --> 00:07:35.660
lasciviousness.
160
00:07:35.660 --> 00:07:36.493
We saw that in the last program.
161
00:07:36.493 --> 00:07:41.465
Then he adds idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance.
162
00:07:42.320 --> 00:07:43.610
We're gonna cover those today.
163
00:07:43.610 --> 00:07:48.200
Then he adds emulations, wrath, strife,
164
00:07:48.200 --> 00:07:52.670 line:15%
seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness,
165
00:07:52.670 --> 00:07:53.960
revellings and such
166
00:07:53.960 --> 00:07:58.670
like. Wow, this is an amazing list of the works
167
00:07:58.670 --> 00:08:00.440
of the flesh.
168
00:08:00.440 --> 00:08:04.370
But today we're going
to begin with idolatry.
169
00:08:04.370 --> 00:08:06.500
Now, when most people
hear the word idolatry,
170
00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:09.830
they can see in their mind
a statue and people bowing
171
00:08:09.830 --> 00:08:13.100
before a statue and worshiping a statue.
172
00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:16.490
But is that really what Paul
has in his mind when he writes
173
00:08:16.490 --> 00:08:19.880
about idolatry being a work of the flesh?
174
00:08:19.880 --> 00:08:22.520
Let me help you with this word idolatry.
175
00:08:22.520 --> 00:08:24.320 line:15%
It's a compound of two Greek words:
176
00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:27.530 line:15%
the word idolon, which is the word for an idol.
177
00:08:27.530 --> 00:08:29.390
The 2nd word is the word latreia,
178
00:08:29.390 --> 00:08:31.610 line:15%
which comes from the word latreuo, which means
179
00:08:31.610 --> 00:08:33.830
to serve like a priest.
180
00:08:33.830 --> 00:08:36.560
When you compound the two words together, it is one
181
00:08:36.560 --> 00:08:40.340
that is totally devoted to the object of his worship.
182
00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:41.720
He serves it.
183
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.470
He does everything he can
to maintain it, to adore it.
184
00:08:45.470 --> 00:08:47.840
He gives his attention,
he gives his money,
185
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.500
he gives his devotion to
the worship of this thing.
186
00:08:51.500 --> 00:08:55.140
And it does not necessarily
describe an idol,
187
00:08:55.140 --> 00:08:58.620
but it is anything that
really has your attention.
188
00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:01.650
And I'm gonna read to you
directly from my notes.
189
00:09:01.650 --> 00:09:05.700
Idolatry transpires when a
person gives his attention,
190
00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:07.140
devotion, passion, love
191
00:09:07.140 --> 00:09:11.070
or commitment to a person, project
192
00:09:11.070 --> 00:09:14.820
or object more than God.
193
00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:18.420
When something other than
God takes first place in a
194
00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:21.060
person's mind, he is entered into,
195
00:09:21.060 --> 00:09:25.860
at least into some degree
the act of idolatry.
196
00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:28.590
Well, in the Old Testament,
idolatry was forbidden.
197
00:09:28.590 --> 00:09:31.200
And in the New Testament it was forbidden.
198
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:32.820
But one of the clearest examples of
199
00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:36.900
what God thinks about idolatry is found in 1 Samuel
200
00:09:36.900 --> 00:09:40.290
5:1-4, where we find
201
00:09:40.290 --> 00:09:43.530
that the Philistines captured the ark of the covenant,
202
00:09:43.530 --> 00:09:45.750
which contained the presence of God.
203
00:09:45.750 --> 00:09:48.060
They brought it into their
temple, which was the temple
204
00:09:48.060 --> 00:09:51.450
of Dagon, and they put it on a shelf right next
205
00:09:51.450 --> 00:09:53.520
to the God Dagon.
206
00:09:53.520 --> 00:09:55.740
Well, the next morning when
they came into that temple,
207
00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:58.950
the God Dagon was on the floor on his face,
208
00:09:58.950 --> 00:10:01.530
it had been knocked off the shelf.
209
00:10:01.530 --> 00:10:04.260
So they picked it up and
put it back on the shelf.
210
00:10:04.260 --> 00:10:06.270
And then when they came in the next day,
211
00:10:06.270 --> 00:10:09.600
not only was it once again
on the floor, on its face,
212
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.810
its head was cut off,
its arms were cut off,
213
00:10:12.810 --> 00:10:14.250
its legs were cut off.
214
00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:18.390
God was making a declaration
that he was not going
215
00:10:18.390 --> 00:10:21.870
to share space with a false God.
216
00:10:21.870 --> 00:10:25.170
And here we find that
God doesn't want anything
217
00:10:25.170 --> 00:10:28.680
to take our devotion more than him.
218
00:10:28.680 --> 00:10:32.610
If we're obsessed with anything more than we are with Jesus
219
00:10:32.610 --> 00:10:36.390
and his lordship over our
life, God will get involved
220
00:10:36.390 --> 00:10:41.390
to remove that object from our lives. In the view of God,
221
00:10:41.430 --> 00:10:45.420
this kind of idolatry is very, very serious.
222
00:10:45.420 --> 00:10:47.790
And it's so simple for our flesh
223
00:10:47.790 --> 00:10:51.510
because it is the nature
of flesh to become obsessed
224
00:10:51.510 --> 00:10:55.500
with our family, obsessed
with our spouse, obsessed
225
00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:58.800
with our parents, obsessed
with our children, obsessed
226
00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:01.770
with our friends, obsessed
with our job, obsessed,
227
00:11:01.770 --> 00:11:04.620
obsessed with our dreams, our plans, our vision,
228
00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:08.460
our provisions, our professions just obsessed
229
00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:13.460
because that's what flesh does - it obsesses with things.
230
00:11:13.470 --> 00:11:17.070
And I have to ask you today,
what are you obsessed with?
231
00:11:17.070 --> 00:11:20.730
What do you think of
more than anything else?
232
00:11:20.730 --> 00:11:24.240
Your answer will tell you
what has your attention
233
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.130
and what has your devotion.
234
00:11:26.130 --> 00:11:29.520
I know that you do not want
to commit the act of idolatry,
235
00:11:29.520 --> 00:11:32.130
but it's very possible that your obsession
236
00:11:32.130 --> 00:11:36.090
with certain things qualifies
as idolatry in the mind
237
00:11:36.090 --> 00:11:39.630
of God, which is simply a
work of the flesh that has
238
00:11:39.630 --> 00:11:42.870
to be mortified by the
power of the Holy Spirit.
239
00:11:42.870 --> 00:11:45.750
Grab hold of it and get it back in line.
240
00:11:45.750 --> 00:11:49.200
But then Paul goes on
241
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.450
and next mentions witchcraft.
242
00:11:51.450 --> 00:11:54.730
Well, when we hear the word witchcraft, we think of witches
243
00:11:54.730 --> 00:11:57.220
you know, stirring their
brew and riding on brooms.
244
00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:59.620
What in the world does
witchcraft have to do
245
00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:01.270
with the works of the flesh?
246
00:12:01.270 --> 00:12:04.425 line:15%
Well, guess what? It is the Greek word, pharmakeia.
247
00:12:04.425 --> 00:12:05.830
Do you hear another word? It's
248
00:12:05.830 --> 00:12:09.130
where you get the word pharmacy or pharmaceutical drugs.
249
00:12:09.130 --> 00:12:12.910
It is the Greek word pharmakeia the Greek word for medicines
250
00:12:12.910 --> 00:12:17.290
or drugs that inhibit or
change a person's personality
251
00:12:17.290 --> 00:12:19.900
or changes his behavior.
252
00:12:19.900 --> 00:12:22.930
And let me tell you how this
word was used when the apostle
253
00:12:22.930 --> 00:12:25.810
Paul wrote it in Galatians 5.
254
00:12:25.810 --> 00:12:28.900
Pagans went to the temples
when they were burdened
255
00:12:28.900 --> 00:12:30.820
and troubled by life.
256
00:12:30.820 --> 00:12:32.860
And when they went to their pagan temples,
257
00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:36.370
their pagan priest would
take mind altering drugs,
258
00:12:36.370 --> 00:12:39.340
would pour them into wine,
then would mix it together
259
00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:43.150
with the wine, and would give
the wine to the worshipers.
260
00:12:43.150 --> 00:12:44.440
The worshipers would begin
261
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.680
to drink the wine which had
mind altering drugs in it.
262
00:12:47.680 --> 00:12:50.380
And immediately they begin to feel relief.
263
00:12:50.380 --> 00:12:51.490
They begin to feel better,
264
00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:54.310
and the priest would say, go
home, you're gonna be fine.
265
00:12:54.310 --> 00:12:57.760
It was good that you
came to the temple today;
266
00:12:57.760 --> 00:13:01.780
but these drugs never had
a long lasting effect.
267
00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:03.670
Eventually they wore off,
268
00:13:03.670 --> 00:13:06.550
and when they wore off, the
people had the same problems
269
00:13:06.550 --> 00:13:10.210
they had earlier, the same
feelings they had earlier.
270
00:13:10.210 --> 00:13:12.610
And rather than deal with
our root of the problem,
271
00:13:12.610 --> 00:13:13.630
look into the mirror
272
00:13:13.630 --> 00:13:17.290
and see what really needed to
change, they kept running back
273
00:13:17.290 --> 00:13:21.070
to the temples to have
more mind altering drugs,
274
00:13:21.070 --> 00:13:25.330
to temporarily fix them
and make them feel better.
275
00:13:25.330 --> 00:13:28.660
So in the context of the word witchcraft,
276
00:13:28.660 --> 00:13:30.850
which we find in Galatians 5,
277
00:13:30.850 --> 00:13:32.740
it doesn't really describe witchcraft,
278
00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:36.790
but it is any attempt to
not deal with reality.
279
00:13:37.990 --> 00:13:40.570
Maybe it's going out to see
the movies so you don't have
280
00:13:40.570 --> 00:13:41.920
to think about your life.
281
00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:44.440
Maybe it's having fun with
friends so you don't have
282
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:45.610
to think about your life.
283
00:13:45.610 --> 00:13:48.250
Or maybe it's taking drugs
that you should not take.
284
00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:50.740
So you don't have to feel
and think about your life.
285
00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:53.980
And certainly I'm not giving
you medical advice; if your
286
00:13:53.980 --> 00:13:56.290
doctor has given you medication, take it.
287
00:13:56.290 --> 00:13:58.720
But I am giving you spiritual advice,
288
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:02.080
and the advice is deal with
the root of the problem,
289
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.920
or you'll just have to do
something to cover it up again
290
00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:07.870
and again and again and again.
291
00:14:07.870 --> 00:14:09.460
And a person who does
292
00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:12.160
that repeatedly really
is acting like a person
293
00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:14.170
who is on drugs.
294
00:14:14.170 --> 00:14:17.740
This is a work of the flesh to deny
295
00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:20.080
and to ignore reality.
296
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.010
God wants you to look in the
mirror, take hold of the power
297
00:14:24.010 --> 00:14:27.190
of the Holy Spirit and mortify
those things in your life
298
00:14:27.190 --> 00:14:29.350
that you are running from.
299
00:14:29.350 --> 00:14:34.330
But it is the activity of
flesh to run from reality.
300
00:14:34.330 --> 00:14:37.300
But then Paul next mentions hatred,
301
00:14:37.300 --> 00:14:39.250
which is the Greek word echtra.
302
00:14:40.210 --> 00:14:43.690 line:15%
This word echtra, describes an intense hostility
303
00:14:43.690 --> 00:14:46.780
that one feels towards someone else.
304
00:14:46.780 --> 00:14:50.740
It was often used to picture enemies in a military conflict
305
00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:55.070
and the New Testament, it primarily denoted a personal enemy
306
00:14:55.070 --> 00:14:58.760
or those who could not get
along with one another.
307
00:14:58.760 --> 00:15:03.260
And we see this very word used in Luke 23:12,
308
00:15:03.260 --> 00:15:06.590
to depict the animosity, hostility
309
00:15:06.590 --> 00:15:10.850
and hatred that existed between Herod Antipas and Pilate
310
00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:14.960
before they became friends
at the time of Jesus trial
311
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.320
and crucifixion. Before that moment,
312
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.620
they hated each other.
They hated each other.
313
00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:25.820
And the word hate, is this word echtra, the very same word,
314
00:15:25.820 --> 00:15:29.210
which here is used to
depict a work of the flesh.
315
00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:32.030
It depicts people that cannot
get along with each other.
316
00:15:32.030 --> 00:15:34.040
They have deep issues with each other.
317
00:15:34.040 --> 00:15:38.000
They hold resentments, grievances, complaints, grudges
318
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:42.980
that go way, way back in time
that have very deep roots;
319
00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:44.510
as a result of their offense,
320
00:15:44.510 --> 00:15:46.910
they become divided, hostile,
321
00:15:46.910 --> 00:15:48.920
fiercely opposed to each other.
322
00:15:48.920 --> 00:15:52.220
They're antagonistic, aggressive, harsh:
323
00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:53.840
they hate each other
324
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.840
and may feel that their hatred is legitimate,
325
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.560
that it is really based
in a real cause of hatred
326
00:16:00.560 --> 00:16:02.030
and offense; but it doesn't matter.
327
00:16:02.030 --> 00:16:03.290
It's destructive,
328
00:16:03.290 --> 00:16:07.070
and the Bible says it is a work of the flesh.
329
00:16:07.070 --> 00:16:10.250
And if you have any of this
in you, the Holy Spirit wants
330
00:16:10.250 --> 00:16:12.260
to remove it from your life.
331
00:16:12.260 --> 00:16:16.310
You do not have to let
these feelings dominate you.
332
00:16:16.310 --> 00:16:20.450
They are destructive. They
are a work of the flesh.
333
00:16:20.450 --> 00:16:23.450
They're not doing any good
for you or for anybody else.
334
00:16:23.450 --> 00:16:26.810
Their purpose is to take you down.
335
00:16:26.810 --> 00:16:30.710
But then Paul mentions variances,
336
00:16:30.710 --> 00:16:32.690 line:15%
which is the Greek word eris.
337
00:16:32.690 --> 00:16:37.250 line:15%
This word eris is the old Greek word for a political party
338
00:16:37.250 --> 00:16:40.040
who had its own platform and its own agenda.
339
00:16:40.040 --> 00:16:43.970
And here we see the picture
of people who have divided.
340
00:16:43.970 --> 00:16:47.630
Every group has its own
platform, its own ideas,
341
00:16:47.630 --> 00:16:48.860
its own convictions.
342
00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:52.520
And every group is
promoting its own agenda.
343
00:16:52.520 --> 00:16:55.040
Well, in a democratic
system, this is all right
344
00:16:55.040 --> 00:16:57.320
because that's the way that it works.
345
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.790
But very often when these kinds
346
00:16:58.790 --> 00:17:02.660
of political campaigns
began, they get really ugly.
347
00:17:02.660 --> 00:17:04.160
There's a lot of mud slinging
348
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.890
and things are said that
should have never been said.
349
00:17:06.890 --> 00:17:11.890
This is not acceptable in
your life or in the church,
350
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:13.640
but very often in your life
351
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:15.530
and in the church, people divide.
352
00:17:15.530 --> 00:17:18.200
They align themselves with
others that agree with them.
353
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.200
They develop a platform,
they have their own agenda.
354
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.020
And a lot of mud slinging begins.
355
00:17:24.020 --> 00:17:26.570
And my friends, it divides family,
356
00:17:26.570 --> 00:17:29.540
it destroys relationships,
it ruins churches
357
00:17:29.540 --> 00:17:34.540
and pulls people apart who
once stood side by side:
358
00:17:34.790 --> 00:17:36.260
they've been offended
359
00:17:36.260 --> 00:17:39.020
and as a result of their
offense, they begin
360
00:17:39.020 --> 00:17:40.070
to build a platform
361
00:17:40.070 --> 00:17:43.070
and promote their agenda
that brings destruction
362
00:17:43.070 --> 00:17:44.750
and division.
363
00:17:44.750 --> 00:17:48.860
It is a bitterly mean
spirit that is destructive
364
00:17:48.860 --> 00:17:51.720
and is a work of the flesh.
365
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.690
And if you let your flesh have
its way, your flesh will do
366
00:17:54.690 --> 00:17:58.530
that because that's the way flesh behaves.
367
00:17:58.530 --> 00:18:01.290
But then Paul mentions emulations.
368
00:18:01.290 --> 00:18:04.170 line:15%
What in the world does the word emulation mean?
369
00:18:04.170 --> 00:18:05.640
It is the Greek word zelos,
370
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:10.290 line:15%
which in a negative sense
depicts a person who's upset
371
00:18:10.290 --> 00:18:12.450
because someone else has achieved more
372
00:18:12.450 --> 00:18:15.060
or received more than him.
373
00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:19.050
One who is jealous,
envious, resentful, filled
374
00:18:19.050 --> 00:18:22.410
with ill will for that other
person who got what he wanted.
375
00:18:22.410 --> 00:18:26.070
And as a result of not
getting what he desired,
376
00:18:26.070 --> 00:18:30.090
he is irritated,
infuriated, irate, annoyed,
377
00:18:30.090 --> 00:18:33.930
provoked in fuming that the
other person did get it.
378
00:18:33.930 --> 00:18:37.650
This person is incensed and ticked off.
379
00:18:37.650 --> 00:18:39.540
That's really what it means.
380
00:18:39.540 --> 00:18:43.380
And the apostle Paul is this
really is a work of the flesh.
381
00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:45.960
He can't rejoice with the other person
382
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.960
because he is so jealous.
383
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.740
And an example of this is found in Acts 7:
384
00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:55.650
9, where this word zelos is used
385
00:18:55.650 --> 00:18:57.150
to describe the ill will
386
00:18:57.150 --> 00:19:00.420
that Joseph's brothers felt for him.
387
00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:03.540
Joseph was awarded and
honored by his brother
388
00:19:03.540 --> 00:19:06.480
and his brothers could
not rejoice with him.
389
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.250
And Acts 7:9 says,
390
00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:12.150
And the patriarchs, that's Joseph's brothers, were moved
391
00:19:12.150 --> 00:19:13.470
with envy
392
00:19:13.470 --> 00:19:17.640
and sold Joseph into slavery. Moved
393
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:20.010
with envious from this word zealous,
394
00:19:20.010 --> 00:19:21.240
which here is translated
395
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.090
as emulations in Galatians 5
396
00:19:24.090 --> 00:19:25.710
as a work of the flesh.
397
00:19:25.710 --> 00:19:29.190
They were incensed that
Joseph was so blessed,
398
00:19:29.190 --> 00:19:31.830
they were jealous of his blessing
399
00:19:31.830 --> 00:19:35.940
and it moved them to do
something really, really ugly.
400
00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:37.530
And I want you to understand
401
00:19:37.530 --> 00:19:40.020
that if emulation is
working in your heart,
402
00:19:40.020 --> 00:19:43.800
you won't just feel ill will
eventually it will move you
403
00:19:43.800 --> 00:19:46.980
to do something that
you will later regret.
404
00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:50.640
And my friend, this is
the work of the flesh.
405
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.910
It produces what is
laborious, what is hard,
406
00:19:53.910 --> 00:19:58.470
and what is destructive that you do not have to yield to any
407
00:19:58.470 --> 00:20:02.250
of these because in Galatians 5:16,
408
00:20:02.250 --> 00:20:04.530
the apostle Paul said - This I say,
409
00:20:04.530 --> 00:20:06.450
then hear me emphatically.
410
00:20:06.450 --> 00:20:08.070
I'm speaking categorically.
411
00:20:08.070 --> 00:20:11.730
Understand you absolutely can walk
412
00:20:11.730 --> 00:20:13.260
in the spirit. Again,
413
00:20:13.260 --> 00:20:16.170
this word walk, the Greek word peripateo, which means
414
00:20:16.170 --> 00:20:18.210
to habitually walk in the spirit
415
00:20:18.210 --> 00:20:20.040
or even to live in the spirit.
416
00:20:20.040 --> 00:20:23.010
And if you live and walk
in the spirit, he says,
417
00:20:23.010 --> 00:20:28.010
you will not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
418
00:20:28.110 --> 00:20:31.830
And the RIV of Galatians 5:16 is -
419
00:20:33.060 --> 00:20:35.460
make the path of the spirit the place
420
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:37.890
where you habitually live
421
00:20:37.890 --> 00:20:40.530
and walk. Habitually become
422
00:20:40.530 --> 00:20:43.410
so comfortable on this
spiritual path that you learn
423
00:20:43.410 --> 00:20:46.740
to leisurely and peacefully
stroll along in that realm.
424
00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:50.440
Living your life in this
spirit realm is the best way
425
00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:54.700
to guarantee that you will
not allow the yearnings
426
00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:58.780
of your flesh to creep out
and fulfill themselves.
427
00:20:58.780 --> 00:21:01.240
And Paul says, we can make the choice
428
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:04.780
to step up into the high
road, to leave the low road
429
00:21:04.780 --> 00:21:08.140
and to walk in the spirit and
not just do it hit and miss,
430
00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:12.100
but we can literally live in that realm.
431
00:21:12.100 --> 00:21:15.430
And the moment you choose to
step up onto the high road
432
00:21:15.430 --> 00:21:17.530
and walk and live in the spirit,
433
00:21:17.530 --> 00:21:22.000
you will pull the plug on the flesh.
434
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.970
You can do it. I'll be
back in just a moment,
435
00:21:24.970 --> 00:21:26.140
and I want to pray for you.
436
00:21:34.780 --> 00:21:36.220
Someone has asked the question,
437
00:21:36.220 --> 00:21:38.650
what language did Jesus speak?
438
00:21:38.650 --> 00:21:39.970
Well, that's a very different question.
439
00:21:39.970 --> 00:21:44.020
From what languages did Jesus know. Growing up in Israel,
440
00:21:44.020 --> 00:21:46.540
Jesus would've been familiar with Latin.
441
00:21:46.540 --> 00:21:48.220
Jesus would've known Hebrew
442
00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:51.040
because it was used in
a religious context.
443
00:21:51.040 --> 00:21:53.050
Jesus would've known Aramaic.
444
00:21:53.050 --> 00:21:56.950
But for 300 years before
the time of Jesus,
445
00:21:56.950 --> 00:22:00.010
because of the influence of Alexander the Great, the people
446
00:22:00.010 --> 00:22:02.980
of Israel began to speak Greek,
447
00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:04.870
and in fact, they spoke so much Greek,
448
00:22:04.870 --> 00:22:06.040
they were no longer able
449
00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:09.910
to read commonly the New Testament in the Hebrew language.
450
00:22:09.910 --> 00:22:13.330
And that is why the scholars
in Alexandria took the Hebrew
451
00:22:13.330 --> 00:22:16.030
scriptures and translated
them into the Greek
452
00:22:16.030 --> 00:22:17.110
version called the Septuagint.
453
00:22:18.010 --> 00:22:20.770
They did that because they
wanted folks back home
454
00:22:20.770 --> 00:22:22.870
to read the Old Testament,
455
00:22:22.870 --> 00:22:25.360
but they couldn't read
it any longer in Hebrew.
456
00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:27.850
So they translated it
into the Greek language,
457
00:22:27.850 --> 00:22:32.140
which was the commonly spoken
language of the entire world
458
00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:34.870
during the time that Jesus was born.
459
00:22:34.870 --> 00:22:38.170
A life dominated by
the flesh is a hard life.
460
00:22:38.170 --> 00:22:42.340
It is filled with excess
imbalance, extremity laziness,
461
00:22:42.340 --> 00:22:45.520
self-abuse, hatred, strife, bitterness,
462
00:22:45.520 --> 00:22:47.860
irresponsibility and neglect.
463
00:22:47.860 --> 00:22:50.500
The way of the flesh is
the hardest route to take,
464
00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:53.500
but a life dominated by
the Holy Spirit is filled
465
00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:55.060
with benefits and blessings.
466
00:22:55.060 --> 00:22:58.480
I'm talking about love,
joy, peace, long suffering,
467
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:02.290
gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness and temperance.
468
00:23:02.290 --> 00:23:03.490
Don't give way to the flesh
469
00:23:03.490 --> 00:23:06.220
and allow it to produce
its ugly work in your life.
470

Hey, this is Rick Renner,
496
00:24:13.850 --> 00:24:18.620
and today I'm in the Tulsa Office Building in the warehouse.
497
00:24:18.620 --> 00:24:20.420
I love to come here
498
00:24:20.420 --> 00:24:24.590
'cause I see all the resources
which we're preparing to send
499
00:24:24.590 --> 00:24:27.320
to people literally to
the ends of the earth.
500
00:24:27.320 --> 00:24:30.380
Here we have Living in the Combat Zone, Light
501
00:24:30.380 --> 00:24:33.950
In Darkness, Sparkling Gems, Apostles and Prophets.
502
00:24:33.950 --> 00:24:36.050
And here we have a copy of my new book,
503
00:24:36.050 --> 00:24:37.820
which is called, World Before the Flood.
504
00:24:37.820 --> 00:24:41.270
Wow, this book has gone
out by the thousands.
505
00:24:41.270 --> 00:24:43.700
And all of that happens from here.
506
00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:46.250
These books don't stay here very long
507
00:24:46.250 --> 00:24:49.400
because people around
the world are crying out
508
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:53.570
for resources they want
teaching that they can trust.
509
00:24:53.570 --> 00:24:57.140
And we send all of these
materials out from here.
510
00:24:57.140 --> 00:24:59.510
Wow, the ministry that goes out
511
00:24:59.510 --> 00:25:02.480
of this facility is amazing.
512
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:06.860
And do you know of our original Ministry Expansion Project,
513
00:25:06.860 --> 00:25:11.510
70% of it is already finished and I want to say thank you.
514
00:25:11.510 --> 00:25:13.160
And now we need to keep it up
515
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:16.040
until we knock out the remaining 30%.
516
00:25:16.040 --> 00:25:17.180
And if you've never been a part
517
00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:21.020
of our Ministry Expansion Project Giving Team,
518
00:25:21.020 --> 00:25:23.630
I'm asking you today to become a part of the team.
519
00:25:23.630 --> 00:25:25.220
We can knock this out.
520
00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:29.840
All we have is 30% left and we're done.
521
00:25:29.840 --> 00:25:32.420
And when we're done, we're
gonna quit talking about it
522
00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:35.900
and we can redirect all these
funds to take the teaching
523
00:25:35.900 --> 00:25:38.090
of the Bible further to
the ends of the earth
524
00:25:38.090 --> 00:25:41.420
and fulfill our part in
the Great Commission.
525
00:25:41.420 --> 00:25:44.300
So please pray about becoming a part
526
00:25:44.300 --> 00:25:47.150
of the Ministry Expansion Project Giving Team.
527
00:25:47.150 --> 00:25:51.200
My friend,
528
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.360
we have covered a lot of material today
529
00:25:53.360 --> 00:25:55.430
and we have more to cover tomorrow.
530
00:25:55.430 --> 00:25:57.770
I know you cannot remember everything
531
00:25:57.770 --> 00:25:59.690
that I'm teaching in this series,
532
00:25:59.690 --> 00:26:02.120
and that's why I want you

533
00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:03.410
which is 10 parts.
534
00:26:03.410 --> 00:26:05.780
It's called The Works of the Flesh VS
535
00:26:05.780 --> 00:26:06.860
the Fruit of the Spirit.

00:26:06.860 --> 00:26:09.800

537
00:26:09.800 --> 00:26:14.030

And each of these, there are 1000 Greek word studies

00:26:35.300 --> 00:26:38.240
to take you deep into the New Testament
546
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:42.500

554
00:27:00.780 --> 00:27:02.670
We'll really pray with you
555
00:27:02.670 --> 00:27:04.830
and I wanna pray with you right now.
556
00:27:04.830 --> 00:27:06.750
Father, we wanna walk in the spirit
557
00:27:06.750 --> 00:27:10.200
and not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
558
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:12.270
Father, help us today to make the choice
559
00:27:12.270 --> 00:27:15.540
to live in the spirit realm habitually
560
00:27:15.540 --> 00:27:20.280
and to pull the plug on the flesh in Jesus
561
00:27:20.280 --> 00:27:22.710
mighty name - Amen.
562
00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:26.940
You can do it. God says
you can do it so you can.
563
00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:30.570
But hey, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4,
564
00:27:30.570 --> 00:27:34.080
"Where the word of a king is there is power",
565
00:27:34.080 --> 00:27:36.450
and I'll see you tomorrow.
566
00:27:36.450 --> 00:27:38.730
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
567
00:27:38.730 --> 00:27:43.080
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
568
00:27:43.080 --> 00:27:45.270
Jesus has to give you.
569
00:27:45.270 --> 00:27:49.350
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
570
00:27:49.350 --> 00:27:53.340
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
571
00:27:53.340 --> 00:27:56.340
and Lord. Wash away my sin
572
00:27:56.340 --> 00:27:59.370
and make me completely new.
573
00:27:59.370 --> 00:28:03.150
I thank you that my sin is removed
574
00:28:03.150 --> 00:28:08.150
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
575
00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:12.660
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
576
00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:14.370
for the rest of my life.
577
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:16.240
Amen.
