00:00:00.930 --> 00:00:03.420
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:06.690
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:09.180
Welcome to today's program.
4
00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:10.950
My name is Rick Renner
5
00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:13.920
and my friend, I've been waiting for you.
6
00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:16.020
We are rendezvous here every day
7
00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:18.330
so we can study the Bible together.
8
00:00:18.330 --> 00:00:22.290
And today we're going to return to Galatians 5,
9
00:00:22.290 --> 00:00:26.070
where we're looking at the fruit that the Holy Spirit wants
10
00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:29.190
to produce in you and in me.
11
00:00:29.190 --> 00:00:31.830
The works of the flesh are so terrible,
12
00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:35.760
but when you produce the fruit
of the spirit in your life,
13
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:37.590
your life becomes tasty.
14
00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:40.560
It becomes so delicious
that people will want
15
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:41.670
to keep coming back to you
16
00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:43.950
for another serving and another helping.
17
00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:46.650
They will enjoy you so much.
18
00:00:46.650 --> 00:00:49.080
But hey, I want you to
order the whole series,
19
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:50.550
which is called, The Works
20
00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:53.640
of the Flesh VS The Fruit of the Spirit.
21
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.270
It's a 10-part series that comes in multiple formats
22
00:00:57.270 --> 00:01:00.330
and the subtitle says - You Choose...Death-
23
00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:05.220
Permeated Works or Supernatural Life Giving Fruit.
24
00:01:05.220 --> 00:01:10.220
I know you want to produce
supernatural life giving fruit
25
00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:13.560
and the Holy Spirit wants
to produce it in you.
26
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.390
You just need to know how to cooperate
27
00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:19.860
so you can bear this wonderful
luscious fruit in your life.
28
00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:23.790
So please order yours today and it comes with a study guide
29
00:01:23.790 --> 00:01:27.120
and this particular study guide is just loaded.
30
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.550
We really worked on this study guide
31
00:01:29.550 --> 00:01:31.860
because we want you to get
this teaching down deep
32
00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:34.800
inside you so you can
read it while you hear it
33
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:36.360
or while you see it.
34
00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:39.210
And right now we're also offering you my daily devotional,
35
00:01:39.210 --> 00:01:42.600
which is called Sparkling Gems from the Greek Vol.I
36
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:44.700
and Vol.II.
37
00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:45.960
You don't have to order both,
38
00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:47.430
you can just order one at a time
39
00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:49.770
and it doesn't matter
which one you begin with.
40
00:01:49.770 --> 00:01:51.553
But in each one of these,
41
00:01:51.553 --> 00:01:56.553
there is 1000 Greek word
studies: that is amazing.
42
00:01:56.810 --> 00:01:59.940
Between these 2 books, 2000 Greek Word Studies.
43
00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:04.260
So in addition to being a daily devotional, it is a resource
44
00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:07.650
that you can turn to again and again and again.
45
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.890
And at the end of every one
of these, there's a prayer
46
00:02:10.890 --> 00:02:13.830
for you to pray, a confession
for you, to make questions
47
00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:15.180
for you to think about.
48
00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:16.950
And this is written in such a way
49
00:02:16.950 --> 00:02:20.340
that it will devotionally take
you into the New Testament
50
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:23.460
and really help you understand
the New Testament better.
51
00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:26.280
And remember that we're waiting to know how to pray for you.
52
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.640
If you'll just give us a call right now, right now,
53
00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:33.060
or send us your email, the moment we hear from you,
54
00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:36.330
we're going to release our faith for God
55
00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:39.270
to really move in your life.
56
00:02:39.270 --> 00:02:43.560
We'll believe with you for
the miraculous to take place.
57
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.610
So let us know how to
pray for you by calling us
58
00:02:47.610 --> 00:02:49.800
or by sending us your email.
59
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.350
I'll be back in just a moment.
60
00:02:52.350 --> 00:02:55.650
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
61
00:02:55.650 --> 00:02:59.800
and your mind where the word
is the anchor in uncertain
62
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.480
times and doctrine
doesn't bend to culture.
63
00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:05.920
We keep it simple,
64
00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:10.480
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
65
00:03:11.350 --> 00:03:13.240
a love that emboldens
66
00:03:14.380 --> 00:03:19.210
and a mission that touches the world. Let's
67
00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:20.380
join Rick Renner.
68
00:03:22.690 --> 00:03:24.940
Today we're gonna return
to our anchor verse,
69
00:03:24.940 --> 00:03:28.510
which is in Galatians 5:16.
70
00:03:28.510 --> 00:03:29.770
So reach for your Bible.
71
00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:33.070
We always use the Bible in this program,
72
00:03:33.070 --> 00:03:34.870
and today you need a piece of paper
73
00:03:34.870 --> 00:03:35.920
and something to write with
74
00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:38.500
because I believe today you're
gonna want to take notes.
75
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:42.070
But let's go back to Galatians 5:16,
76
00:03:42.070 --> 00:03:43.360
where Paul says, This
77
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.480
I say then, walk in the spirit
78
00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:50.080
and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
79
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.580
This verse is a guarantee that if you walk in the spirit,
80
00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:57.970
you'll pull the plug on the flesh.
81
00:03:57.970 --> 00:04:01.330
Would you like to pull the plug on the flesh in your life?
82
00:04:01.330 --> 00:04:05.500 line:15%
Well, Paul tells us how in this verse. He says; This I say
83
00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:08.410
then - the Greek says lego de.
84
00:04:08.410 --> 00:04:12.550
Lego means I say by itself
it's already very strong,
85
00:04:12.550 --> 00:04:14.020
but then he adds the word de.
86
00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:17.290
The word de describes something that's absolute,
87
00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:21.370
it is indisputable, it is categorical, it is emphatic.
88
00:04:21.370 --> 00:04:24.400
It's like he's raising his
voice to get our attention.
89
00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:25.840
He says, Now hear me
90
00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:30.130
well. I'm telling you indisputably absolutely categorically
91
00:04:30.130 --> 00:04:34.480
emphatically that if you walk in the spirit,
92
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.560
you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
93
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.680
And this word walk, doesn't mean once in a while or hit
94
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.780
and miss or maybe on Sundays when you're
95
00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:44.950
on the way to church.
96
00:04:44.950 --> 00:04:47.440
This is the Greek word peripateo.
97
00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:50.050
The word peri describes an encircling area,
98
00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:51.850
a particular vicinity.
99
00:04:51.850 --> 00:04:53.620
The 2nd part of the word is the word pateo,
100
00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:55.120
which means to walk.
101
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.030
When you compound the 2 words together, this word peripateo,
102
00:04:58.030 --> 00:05:01.390
which here is translated as the word walk, literally means
103
00:05:01.390 --> 00:05:05.560
to walk around habitually in one general vicinity.
104
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:10.000
And therefore some have translated it to live in the spirit.
105
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.000
It describes the realm where
God is calling us to live.
106
00:05:15.010 --> 00:05:17.650
We can live in the spirit.
107
00:05:17.650 --> 00:05:19.990
You say, oh, I just don't
know if that's possible.
108
00:05:19.990 --> 00:05:23.200
Of course it is, or God wouldn't have told us to do it.
109
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:26.950
And in this verse he says,
habitually walk in the spirit
110
00:05:26.950 --> 00:05:28.390
or live in the spirit
111
00:05:28.390 --> 00:05:32.350
and you shall not fulfill the lust
112
00:05:32.350 --> 00:05:33.730
of the flesh.
113
00:05:33.730 --> 00:05:36.850
Shall not in the Greek means
you absolutely will not.
114
00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:38.500
It is a double negative.
115
00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:42.160
It removes all questions you
absolutely emphatically will
116
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.580
not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
117
00:05:45.580 --> 00:05:49.960
And the RIV of Galatians 5:16 is like this;
118
00:05:49.960 --> 00:05:52.840
Make the path of the spirit the place
119
00:05:52.840 --> 00:05:55.240
where you habitually live and walk.
120
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.760
Become so comfortable on this
spiritual path that you learn
121
00:05:58.760 --> 00:06:02.600
to leisurely and peacefully
stroll along in that realm.
122
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.180
Living your life in this
spirit realm is the best way
123
00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:09.140
to guarantee that you will
not allow the yearnings
124
00:06:09.140 --> 00:06:12.830
of your flesh to creep out
and fulfill themselves.
125
00:06:12.830 --> 00:06:16.010
My friends, we really
can't habitually live
126
00:06:16.010 --> 00:06:18.140
and walk in that realm.
127
00:06:18.140 --> 00:06:21.710
But then in Galatians 5:19 to 21,
128
00:06:21.710 --> 00:06:23.600
Paul lists the works of the flesh.
129
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.700
Now the works of the flesh are manifest
130
00:06:25.700 --> 00:06:30.620
which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
131
00:06:30.620 --> 00:06:34.645
lusiviciousness, idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance,
132
00:06:34.645 --> 00:06:39.110
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envys,
133
00:06:39.110 --> 00:06:40.670
murders, drunkenness, revellings
134
00:06:40.670 --> 00:06:44.270
and such like - ugh - these are just destructive.
135
00:06:44.270 --> 00:06:48.530
But then in Galatians 5:22-23, he tells us
136
00:06:48.530 --> 00:06:51.500
that we can choose to cooperate with the Holy Spirit
137
00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:53.090
and produce divine fruit.
138
00:06:53.090 --> 00:06:56.300
Listen to what he says - that the fruit of the spirit,
139
00:06:56.300 --> 00:07:00.920
what a contrast, is love, joy, peace, long suffering,
140
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:05.510
gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness and temperance.
141
00:07:05.510 --> 00:07:09.560
What a contrast to what
the flesh produces.
142
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.550
The flesh produces work that
is hard, it is laborious,
143
00:07:13.550 --> 00:07:18.550
it is destructive, but
the spirit produces fruit.
144
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.200
There's a reason why I have this bowl
145
00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:22.730
of grapes here on the set today.
146
00:07:22.730 --> 00:07:25.100
And by the way, these are
not plastic. These are real.
147
00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:27.290
I keep wanting to dive
into them and eat them
148
00:07:27.290 --> 00:07:29.780
because they look so delicious.
149
00:07:29.780 --> 00:07:32.750
And in the same way, when you
begin to produce the fruit
150
00:07:32.750 --> 00:07:36.170
of the spirit in your life,
people will want to eat off
151
00:07:36.170 --> 00:07:39.320
of your tree because you
will be such an enjoyable
152
00:07:39.320 --> 00:07:40.940
and pleasant person.
153
00:07:40.940 --> 00:07:44.900 line:15%
Now by the way, the word fruit
in Greek is the word karpos,
154
00:07:44.900 --> 00:07:47.720 line:15%
and it describes the fruit
of plants, the fruit of trees
155
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.070
or the fruit of one's body
156
00:07:49.070 --> 00:07:53.330
or anything produced by a seed.
157
00:07:53.330 --> 00:07:56.420
Listen, anything produced by a seed:
158
00:07:56.420 --> 00:08:00.440
just like an apple seed, always produces apples,
159
00:08:00.440 --> 00:08:04.760
and orange seed always produces oranges,
160
00:08:04.760 --> 00:08:08.060
seeds always produce after their own kind.
161
00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:11.690
Well hold on because 1 John 3:9 says,
162
00:08:11.690 --> 00:08:14.720
the seed of God has been planted
163
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.480
inside every born again believer.
164
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:21.380
That word seed, in 1 John 3:9 is the word sperm.
165
00:08:21.380 --> 00:08:23.000
It's the sperm of God.
166
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.260
The seed of God himself was
planted inside you and me
167
00:08:27.260 --> 00:08:30.230
the moment we called Jesus the Lord of our life.
168
00:08:30.230 --> 00:08:32.690
When the Holy Spirit and the word of God came in, the seed
169
00:08:32.690 --> 00:08:33.950
of God came into us.
170
00:08:33.950 --> 00:08:37.610
And in that seed is the life
of God, the power of God,
171
00:08:37.610 --> 00:08:42.500
the character of God, the DNA of God: all of that is
172
00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:44.270
inside us.
173
00:08:44.270 --> 00:08:45.530
And if we will yield
174
00:08:45.530 --> 00:08:48.410
to it just like an apple
seed produces apples
175
00:08:48.410 --> 00:08:50.420
and oranges, produce oranges,
176
00:08:50.420 --> 00:08:55.320
that God seed in us will
begin to produce God
177
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.230
in our life, which is called
the fruit of the spirit.
178
00:08:58.230 --> 00:09:01.560
And yesterday we looked at the
first fruit, which was love.
179
00:09:01.560 --> 00:09:05.310
Today we're going to
continue next to look at joy.
180
00:09:05.310 --> 00:09:07.410
In Galatians 5:22, Paul writes,
181
00:09:07.410 --> 00:09:10.380
but the fruit of the
spirit is love and joy.
182
00:09:10.380 --> 00:09:14.280
What does this mean? The
word joy is this happiness.
183
00:09:14.280 --> 00:09:16.920
No, no, no it's not happiness.
184
00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:19.470
It's much higher than happiness.
185
00:09:19.470 --> 00:09:21.720 line:15%
It comes from the Greek word charas.
186
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:24.600
And charas is the word for grace.
187
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:26.040
Here it is the word chara
188
00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:30.360
and it describes a grace produced joy,
189
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:34.590
which means joy is divine in origin.
190
00:09:34.590 --> 00:09:37.170
Someone may feel happiness or hilarity
191
00:09:37.170 --> 00:09:39.300
or excitement for a few moments,
192
00:09:39.300 --> 00:09:42.840
but all of those are fleeting
emotions that come and go.
193
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:47.400
But joy on the other
hand is grace produced.
194
00:09:47.400 --> 00:09:48.570
It is an expression
195
00:09:48.570 --> 00:09:52.410
that flourishes even when
times are strenuous, daunting,
196
00:09:52.410 --> 00:09:53.850
or tough.
197
00:09:53.850 --> 00:09:57.270
And a great example of this is in 1 Thessalonians
198
00:09:57.270 --> 00:09:59.160
1:6: the Thessalonians were going
199
00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:02.280
through terrible, terrible persecution,
200
00:10:02.280 --> 00:10:04.320
but in the midst of all
of those hard times,
201
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.480
nonetheless they had joy
202
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.760
because it is a fruit of the spirit.
203
00:10:08.760 --> 00:10:11.970
It is not determined by circumstances or what you feel.
204
00:10:11.970 --> 00:10:15.780
It comes from the inside.
It is grace produced.
205
00:10:15.780 --> 00:10:18.660
Listen to this verse; 1 Thessalonians 1:6,
206
00:10:18.660 --> 00:10:20.310
and you became followers of us
207
00:10:20.310 --> 00:10:23.850
and of the Lord having received the word in much affliction
208
00:10:23.850 --> 00:10:27.150
with joy of the Holy Ghost.
209
00:10:27.150 --> 00:10:29.970
Notice he says, it's
joy of the Holy Ghost.
210
00:10:29.970 --> 00:10:32.880
It's produced by the Holy Spirit.
211
00:10:32.880 --> 00:10:37.440
But wait, this verse says they
were experiencing affliction.
212
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.290
And the word affliction here
is the Greek word thlipsis.
213
00:10:40.290 --> 00:10:43.830 line:15%
The word the thlipsis describes great, great pressure,
214
00:10:43.830 --> 00:10:47.880
crushing pressure, something
that nearly suffocates you.
215
00:10:47.880 --> 00:10:50.640
It is the pressure to
conform a horribly tight
216
00:10:50.640 --> 00:10:52.950
life-threatening squeeze.
217
00:10:52.950 --> 00:10:57.180
A situation so difficult, it
caused one to feel stressed,
218
00:10:57.180 --> 00:11:00.450
squeezed, pressed, pressured, or crushed.
219
00:11:00.450 --> 00:11:04.020
They were going through a very, very, very difficult time.
220
00:11:04.020 --> 00:11:07.410
But in spite of it, they had joy
221
00:11:07.410 --> 00:11:11.430
because the Holy Spirit was
producing it inside them.
222
00:11:11.430 --> 00:11:12.967
Wow! One
223
00:11:12.967 --> 00:11:16.230
of the way the Holy Spirit helps us in very difficult times
224
00:11:16.230 --> 00:11:17.490
is to give us joy.
225
00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:20.640
In fact, joy is God's response
226
00:11:20.640 --> 00:11:23.160
to the devil's attacks.
227
00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:27.960
Say Amen. In fact, this joy
that I'm describing today is
228
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.270
so much better than mere happiness
229
00:11:30.270 --> 00:11:34.590
because happiness is based
on circumstantial pleasure,
230
00:11:34.590 --> 00:11:37.350
merriment, hilarity, exuberance
231
00:11:37.350 --> 00:11:39.600
or something that causes
you to feel hopeful
232
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.730
or to be in high spirits.
233
00:11:41.730 --> 00:11:44.220
But those are fleeting emotions.
234
00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:46.890
They may feel pleasurable
at the moment, but they come
235
00:11:46.890 --> 00:11:49.080
and go very, very fast.
236
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.170
All it takes is one bad piece of news,
237
00:11:52.170 --> 00:11:54.760
a sour look from a fellow employee,
238
00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:56.560
a bad word from your spouse
239
00:11:56.560 --> 00:11:59.710
or an electric bill bigger
than you anticipated.
240
00:11:59.710 --> 00:12:02.230
And your happiness can disappear right
241
00:12:02.230 --> 00:12:03.520
in front of your eyes.
242
00:12:03.520 --> 00:12:06.820
But joy is supernatural.
243
00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:09.130
It doesn't come from
outward circumstances,
244
00:12:09.130 --> 00:12:10.900
it comes from the inside and
245
00:12:10.900 --> 00:12:14.710
therefore it is unaffected
by outward circumstances
246
00:12:14.710 --> 00:12:18.580
and thrives when times are tough.
247
00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:22.930
You need this fruit of the
spirit in your life. Wow!
248
00:12:22.930 --> 00:12:25.750
It is divine in origin
249
00:12:25.750 --> 00:12:30.100
and it particularly manifests
when times are hard.
250
00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:33.490
And the Thessalonians, even
though they were in a very,
251
00:12:33.490 --> 00:12:38.290
very difficult position, they
were experiencing divine joy.
252
00:12:38.290 --> 00:12:43.290
And in fact, the RIV of 1 Thessalonians 1:6 is this:
253
00:12:43.450 --> 00:12:45.340
You threw your arms open wide
254
00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:48.160
and gladly received the
word into your lives
255
00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:50.110
with great enthusiasm.
256
00:12:50.110 --> 00:12:52.240
And you did it even in the midst
257
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.570
of mind-boggling sufferings,
a level of stress
258
00:12:55.570 --> 00:12:58.240
and intensity that would be suffocating
259
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:00.340
and crushing for most people.
260
00:13:00.340 --> 00:13:02.830
But while you were going
through all these hardships
261
00:13:02.830 --> 00:13:06.520
and hassles, you were simultaneously experiencing the
262
00:13:06.520 --> 00:13:10.240
supreme joy of the Holy Spirit.
263
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:13.540
You know why? Because the
seed of God was on the inside
264
00:13:13.540 --> 00:13:14.980
of them and that seed
265
00:13:14.980 --> 00:13:19.980
of God was producing supernaturally joy even in difficult
266
00:13:20.410 --> 00:13:21.460
circumstances.
267
00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:22.540
This is a joy
268
00:13:22.540 --> 00:13:26.230
that will sustain you even
in the hardest of times.
269
00:13:26.230 --> 00:13:29.770
It is one of the fruits of
the Holy Spirit. But wait.
270
00:13:29.770 --> 00:13:34.540
Then Paul next mentions peace. In Galatians 5:22, he says,
271
00:13:34.540 --> 00:13:38.170
But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, and peace.
272
00:13:38.170 --> 00:13:40.600 line:15%
The word peace, in Greek is the word, eirene.
273
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.010
Listen to what it means.
274
00:13:42.010 --> 00:13:44.440
It depicts the cessation of war
275
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:47.200
and all conflict being put away.
276
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.170
It is a time of rebuilding and reconstruction
277
00:13:50.170 --> 00:13:54.310
after the war is finished. Distractions are removed.
278
00:13:54.310 --> 00:13:56.860
It depicts a time of prosperity, the rule
279
00:13:56.860 --> 00:14:00.130
of order in the place of chaos.
280
00:14:00.130 --> 00:14:04.330
It is a calm inner stability
that results in the ability
281
00:14:04.330 --> 00:14:08.020
to conduct oneself
peacefully, even in the midst
282
00:14:08.020 --> 00:14:09.400
of circumstances
283
00:14:09.400 --> 00:14:11.980
that would normally be
traumatic or upsetting.
284
00:14:11.980 --> 00:14:16.660
And it is the Greek equivalent of the word in Hebrew, shalom
285
00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:20.200
which expresses the ideas of wholeness, completeness
286
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.350
or tranquility in the soul that is unaffected
287
00:14:23.350 --> 00:14:26.560
by outward situations or pressures.
288
00:14:26.560 --> 00:14:27.880
That is amazing.
289
00:14:27.880 --> 00:14:30.880
Again, we see something
that comes from the inside.
290
00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:33.790
It isn't determined by
outward circumstances.
291
00:14:33.790 --> 00:14:35.470
It comes from the inside.
292
00:14:35.470 --> 00:14:37.720
God himself is peace,
293
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.780
and his peace seed is inside you.
294
00:14:40.780 --> 00:14:42.580
And if you'll yield to it,
295
00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:45.070
you'll experience supernatural peace.
296
00:14:45.070 --> 00:14:46.570
And one of the best illustrations
297
00:14:46.570 --> 00:14:49.060
of this is in Acts 27,
298
00:14:49.060 --> 00:14:52.730
where the apostle Paul found himself on a ship caught in the
299
00:14:52.730 --> 00:14:54.800
middle of a raging sea storm
300
00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:57.230
and everyone was fearful
that they were going
301
00:14:57.230 --> 00:14:58.640
to lose their lives.
302
00:14:58.640 --> 00:15:01.790
And an angel of the Lord
appeared to Paul in the middle
303
00:15:01.790 --> 00:15:03.140
of the night and Paul got up
304
00:15:03.140 --> 00:15:07.580
and told the men the next day in Acts 27:22 to 24,
305
00:15:07.580 --> 00:15:10.250
And now I exhort you to be a good chair
306
00:15:10.250 --> 00:15:13.190
for there shall be no loss
of any man's life among you,
307
00:15:13.190 --> 00:15:16.970
but of the ship; for there stood by me this night, the angel
308
00:15:16.970 --> 00:15:21.170
of God, who I am and who
I serve, saying fear not.
309
00:15:21.170 --> 00:15:26.170
And when Paul received that
word, peace erupted on the
310
00:15:26.180 --> 00:15:30.080
inside of him and he became
like a rock in the middle
311
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.090
of a very difficult situation.
312
00:15:32.090 --> 00:15:34.910
Not only did it give
him peace and strength,
313
00:15:34.910 --> 00:15:37.070
but he was able to impart that peace
314
00:15:37.070 --> 00:15:40.790
and strength to everyone
that was around him.
315
00:15:40.790 --> 00:15:45.050
But wait. Then Paul goes on in Galatians 5:22
316
00:15:45.050 --> 00:15:48.800
and next he mentions long suffering.
317
00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:50.810
What is long suffering?
318
00:15:50.810 --> 00:15:54.680
Well, from time to time,
we all get frustrated
319
00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:57.590
with other people who we think
should appreciate us more
320
00:15:57.590 --> 00:15:59.750
and show us a little more kindness.
321
00:15:59.750 --> 00:16:02.930
It's really easy to be nice to people
322
00:16:02.930 --> 00:16:05.960
who treat you well, but when
people fail to appreciate us
323
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:08.600
or fail to acknowledge
what we've done for them
324
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.600
or fail to value what we
have contributed to them,
325
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.330
sometimes our flesh says, I've had it.
326
00:16:14.330 --> 00:16:15.560
That's all I'm gonna do.
327
00:16:15.560 --> 00:16:19.340
I'm not gonna be a mat for them to walk on. I'm out of here.
328
00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:22.760
I'm not going to be patient
with them any longer.
329
00:16:22.760 --> 00:16:25.430
And we've all felt that. Parents have felt
330
00:16:25.430 --> 00:16:26.720
that with their children.
331
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.390
Teachers have felt that
way with their students.
332
00:16:29.390 --> 00:16:31.730
Husbands have felt that
way with their spouses
333
00:16:31.730 --> 00:16:34.670
and wives, with their husbands. Friends have even felt that
334
00:16:34.670 --> 00:16:36.200
with the best of friends
335
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.680
and pastors have even felt
that with their congregations.
336
00:16:39.680 --> 00:16:42.380
But the bottom line is this: regardless
337
00:16:42.380 --> 00:16:45.020
of your status in life,
who you're married to,
338
00:16:45.020 --> 00:16:48.080
where you work, what you
do, where you go to church,
339
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.470
you need long suffering
to get along with people.
340
00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:56.270
And the word long suffering, is the Greek word, makrothumeo.
341
00:16:56.270 --> 00:16:59.540 line:15%
It's a compound of 2 words: the word makros
342
00:16:59.540 --> 00:17:00.620
and the word thumos.
343
00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:04.100
The word macros, means something that is long, long, long,
344
00:17:04.100 --> 00:17:05.630
it's where we get the word for
345
00:17:05.630 --> 00:17:08.270
macaroni: something that is long.
346
00:17:08.270 --> 00:17:11.510
The word thumos, depicts a passionate desire.
347
00:17:11.510 --> 00:17:13.700
But when these two words are compounded,
348
00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:17.390
it portrays the patient restraint of anger and
349
00:17:17.390 --> 00:17:19.580
therefore long suffering.
350
00:17:19.580 --> 00:17:23.360
It can be translated as the
words forbearance or patience.
351
00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:27.260
It is one that is ready to
forebear and patiently wait.
352
00:17:27.260 --> 00:17:32.260
It is one who doesn't
easily give up or bow out.
353
00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:35.600
And I say that makrothumeo - here translated
354
00:17:35.600 --> 00:17:39.260
as the word long suffering, is
like a candle that has a very,
355
00:17:39.260 --> 00:17:40.550
very long wick.
356
00:17:40.550 --> 00:17:42.710
This is not a short wicked person.
357
00:17:42.710 --> 00:17:45.320
This is a person with a long, long wick.
358
00:17:45.320 --> 00:17:49.350
They're able to burn a long,
long time as they wait for
359
00:17:49.350 --> 00:17:52.680
that person to turn around
and to make progress.
360
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:57.330
And this very word is used in 1 Corinthians 13:
361
00:17:57.330 --> 00:18:01.560
4, when Paul writes, love suffereth long.
362
00:18:01.560 --> 00:18:04.560
That's the same word the word long suffering,
363
00:18:04.560 --> 00:18:06.030
the Greek word makrothumeo.
364
00:18:06.030 --> 00:18:09.480
A better translation would be: love is not short-tempered
365
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.300
or easily angered or you could translate it -
366
00:18:12.300 --> 00:18:15.060
love does not quickly blow its top,
367
00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:17.940
but is patient as it waits for others.
368
00:18:17.940 --> 00:18:19.200
Or you could translate it,
369
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.240
love is not irritable and impatient,
370
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:25.020
but is willing to wait a long
time for someone to change.
371
00:18:25.020 --> 00:18:26.640
Or you could translate it -
372
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:27.960
love is determined to wait
373
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:31.140
until the other person
finally comes around
374
00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:32.790
or you could translate it,
375
00:18:32.790 --> 00:18:35.130
love passionately burns for others
376
00:18:35.130 --> 00:18:39.360
and is willing to wait
as long as is necessary
377
00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:42.780
for another person to change. My friends,
378
00:18:42.780 --> 00:18:44.910
that's supernatural.
379
00:18:44.910 --> 00:18:48.240
That is not produced by
outward circumstances.
380
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.490
That comes from the seed of God
381
00:18:50.490 --> 00:18:52.140
that is on the inside of you.
382
00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:56.940
But then Paul next mentions gentleness in Galatians 5:
383
00:18:56.940 --> 00:19:00.240 line:15%
22, which is the Greek word, chrestotes.
384
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.990 line:15%
And a better translation of
this would be adaptability.
385
00:19:03.990 --> 00:19:08.070
It is the supernatural
ability to adapt to those
386
00:19:08.070 --> 00:19:09.330
who are around you.
387
00:19:09.330 --> 00:19:11.550
And this is so contrary to flesh.
388
00:19:11.550 --> 00:19:13.500
Flesh says, this is what I am.
389
00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:15.360
If you don't like it, you can lump it.
390
00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:18.300
I'm not changing for anybody.
391
00:19:18.300 --> 00:19:20.040
But when this particular fruit
392
00:19:20.040 --> 00:19:23.130
of gentleness, chrestotes, is working on the inside of you,
393
00:19:23.130 --> 00:19:27.300
suddenly you want to become
all things to all men.
394
00:19:27.300 --> 00:19:28.410
The Apostle Paul referred
395
00:19:28.410 --> 00:19:32.040
to this in 1 Corinthians 9:20, when he gave his
396
00:19:32.040 --> 00:19:36.090
testimony: And unto the Jews I became as a Jew
397
00:19:36.090 --> 00:19:39.390
that I might gain the Jews. Then in verse 20 again: To them
398
00:19:39.390 --> 00:19:41.910
that are under the law, as under the law
399
00:19:41.910 --> 00:19:43.530
that I might gain them.
400
00:19:43.530 --> 00:19:48.240
Notice the adaptability in his life. Verse 21: To them
401
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.450
that are without law, as without law that I might gain them.
402
00:19:51.450 --> 00:19:53.850
Verse 22: to the weak, I became as weak
403
00:19:53.850 --> 00:19:55.470
that I might gain the weak.
404
00:19:55.470 --> 00:19:59.820
Verse 22 again: I am made all things to all men that
405
00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:03.120
by all means I might save some.
406
00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:06.750
When this fruit of the Holy
Spirit is working in you,
407
00:20:06.750 --> 00:20:09.720
you're not demanding that
everybody be like you,
408
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:12.930
but you're looking what
you can do to reach those
409
00:20:12.930 --> 00:20:14.700
who are around you.
410
00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:17.790
This is so contrary to
the flesh, which says,
411
00:20:17.790 --> 00:20:19.920
if you don't like me the way that I am,
412
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:21.720
then you can just take a hike.
413
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.570
But when the spirit of God
is working in you, the spirit
414
00:20:24.570 --> 00:20:27.330
of God in you says, what do I need to do
415
00:20:27.330 --> 00:20:28.770
to reach this person?
416
00:20:28.770 --> 00:20:31.860
How do I need to change in order to bring them the message
417
00:20:31.860 --> 00:20:35.130
that will really help them and turn their life around?
418
00:20:35.130 --> 00:20:37.740
Wow! That is supernatural.
419
00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:41.010
But hey, there's more fruit of
the spirit, which we're going
420
00:20:41.010 --> 00:20:42.420
to see tomorrow.
421
00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:44.250
But I'll be back in just a moment
422
00:20:44.250 --> 00:20:45.510
and I'm going to pray for you.
423
00:20:53.650 --> 00:20:54.880
Someone asked the question,
424
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.460
why do people sometimes collapse in the
425
00:20:57.460 --> 00:20:58.540
presence of the Lord?
426
00:20:58.540 --> 00:21:01.330
Well, let's look at Revelation 1:17,
427
00:21:01.330 --> 00:21:03.670
where we find that the Apostle John on the Isle
428
00:21:03.670 --> 00:21:06.220
of Patmos saw the exalted Christ.
429
00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:08.950
And in response he says in verse 17:
430
00:21:08.950 --> 00:21:13.480
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.
431
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.390
That particular word for fall means to collapse,
432
00:21:16.390 --> 00:21:18.730
which means his legs literally buckled
433
00:21:18.730 --> 00:21:20.800
underneath him and he collapsed.
434
00:21:20.800 --> 00:21:22.720
He says like a dead man.
435
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:24.880
And that word dead is the Greek word nekros,
436
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:26.260
which is our Greek word
437
00:21:26.260 --> 00:21:30.190
for a corpse. He literally means my feet buckled under me.
438
00:21:30.190 --> 00:21:34.690
I collapsed and I fell on the ground like a dead man.
439
00:21:34.690 --> 00:21:38.080
And here we find that sometimes when you come into contact
440
00:21:38.080 --> 00:21:41.020
with the power of God, it is so strong
441
00:21:41.020 --> 00:21:43.120
that something's got to give.
442
00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:46.060
And that means that occasionally it's gonna be your legs.
443
00:21:46.060 --> 00:21:47.140
They buckle under you.
444
00:21:47.140 --> 00:21:49.900
You collapse on the ground
under the power of God.
445
00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:52.780
And by the way, usually when
you're laying under the power
446
00:21:52.780 --> 00:21:56.710
of God, he does some kind of
a supernatural work in you.
447
00:21:56.710 --> 00:21:59.830
But that is why people
sometimes collapse in
448
00:21:59.830 --> 00:22:01.120
the presence of God.
449
00:22:01.120 --> 00:22:04.390
A life dominated by
the flesh is a hard life.
450
00:22:04.390 --> 00:22:08.830
It is filled with excess
imbalance, extremity laziness,
451
00:22:08.830 --> 00:22:11.740
self-abuse, hatred, strife, bitterness,
452
00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:14.080
irresponsibility and neglect.
453
00:22:14.080 --> 00:22:16.750
The way of the flesh is
the hardest route to take.
454
00:22:16.750 --> 00:22:19.720
But a life dominated by
the Holy Spirit is filled
455
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.280
with benefits and blessings.
456
00:22:21.280 --> 00:22:24.700
I'm talking about love,
joy, peace, long suffering,
457
00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:28.540
gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness and temperance.
458
00:22:28.540 --> 00:22:29.740
Don't give way to the flesh
459
00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:32.470
and allow it to produce
its ugly work in your life.
460
00:22:32.470 --> 00:22:35.170

Hey, this is Rick Renner,
487
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:40.690
and today I'm in the Tulsa Office Building in the warehouse.
488
00:23:40.690 --> 00:23:42.460
I love to come here
489
00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:46.640
'cause I see all the resources
which we're preparing to send
490
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:49.400
to people literally to
the ends of the earth.
491
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.460
Here we have Living in the Combat Zone, Light
492
00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:56.000
In Darkness, Sparkling Gems, Apostles & Prophets.
493
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:58.130
And here we have a copy of my new book,
494
00:23:58.130 --> 00:23:59.870
which is called, World Before the Flood.
495
00:23:59.870 --> 00:24:03.320
Wow! This book has gone out by the thousands.
496
00:24:03.320 --> 00:24:05.750
And all of that happens from here.
497
00:24:05.750 --> 00:24:08.300
These books don't stay here very long
498
00:24:08.300 --> 00:24:11.450
because people around the world are crying out
499
00:24:11.450 --> 00:24:15.620
for resources; they want teaching that they can trust.
500
00:24:15.620 --> 00:24:19.220
And we send all of these materials out from here.
501
00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:21.590
Wow! The ministry that goes out
502
00:24:21.590 --> 00:24:24.530
of this facility is amazing.
503
00:24:24.530 --> 00:24:28.940
And do you know of our original Ministry Expansion Project,
504
00:24:28.940 --> 00:24:33.560
70% of it is already finished and I want to say thank you.
505
00:24:33.560 --> 00:24:35.210
And now we need to keep it up
506
00:24:35.210 --> 00:24:38.120
until we knock out the remaining 30%.
507
00:24:38.120 --> 00:24:39.230
And if you've never been a part
508
00:24:39.230 --> 00:24:43.070
of our Ministry Expansion Project Giving Team,
509
00:24:43.070 --> 00:24:45.680
I'm asking you today to
become a part of the team.
510
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:47.270
We can knock this out.
511
00:24:47.270 --> 00:24:51.920
All we have is 30% left and we're done.
512
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:54.470
And when we're done, we're
gonna quit talking about it
513
00:24:54.470 --> 00:24:57.980
and we can redirect all these
funds to take the teaching
514
00:24:57.980 --> 00:25:00.140
of the Bible further to
the ends of the earth
515
00:25:00.140 --> 00:25:03.470
and fulfill our part in
the Great Commission.
516
00:25:03.470 --> 00:25:06.350
So please pray about becoming a part
517
00:25:06.350 --> 00:25:11.350
of the Ministry Expansion Project Giving Team.
518
00:25:11.382 --> 00:25:15.456
Today, we've covered so much material
519
00:25:15.456 --> 00:25:18.440
and tomorrow we're gonna

544
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:19.340
or No.II, and you don't have
545
00:26:19.340 --> 00:26:20.930
to read the whole thing at once
546
00:26:20.930 --> 00:26:23.420
because it is a daily devotional.
547
00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:25.670
And remember that when you
become a partner, we're going
548
00:26:25.670 --> 00:26:28.640

551
00:26:35.810 --> 00:26:37.040
of our partner family.
552
00:26:37.040 --> 00:26:41.210

554
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:45.360
we're gonna go to work, praying for God
555
00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:47.520
to move in your life.
556
00:26:47.520 --> 00:26:49.620
But let me pray for you right now.
557
00:26:49.620 --> 00:26:53.430
Father, I'm speaking for me and I'm speaking for my friend.
558
00:26:53.430 --> 00:26:56.070
In the name of Jesus, we
yield ourselves to you
559
00:26:56.070 --> 00:27:00.390
and we ask you to produce
this divine fruit in our life.
560
00:27:00.390 --> 00:27:01.890
Help us not to be moved
561
00:27:01.890 --> 00:27:04.800
by outward circumstances or pressures.
562
00:27:04.800 --> 00:27:07.650
We thank you there's a divine seed inside of us
563
00:27:07.650 --> 00:27:11.700
that will produce regardless
of what's going on around us.
564
00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:14.280
Let the fruit of the Spirit work in us.
565
00:27:14.280 --> 00:27:18.360
In Jesus' name, Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
566
00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:21.180
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, Where the word
567
00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:24.090
of a king is there's power."
568
00:27:24.090 --> 00:27:26.340
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
569
00:27:26.340 --> 00:27:30.750
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
570
00:27:30.750 --> 00:27:32.910
Jesus has to give you.
571
00:27:32.910 --> 00:27:36.990
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
572
00:27:36.990 --> 00:27:41.010
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
573
00:27:41.010 --> 00:27:43.980
and Lord. Wash away my sin
574
00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:46.980
and make me completely new.
575
00:27:46.980 --> 00:27:50.790
I thank you that my sin is removed
576
00:27:50.790 --> 00:27:55.790
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
577
00:27:56.340 --> 00:28:00.330
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
578
00:28:00.330 --> 00:28:02.010
for the rest of my life.
579
00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:03.940
Amen.
580
00:28:06.810 --> 00:28:09.630
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
581
00:28:09.630 --> 00:28:11.580
