00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.450
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.450 --> 00:00:07.440
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.560
Welcome to today's program.
My name is Rick Renner.
4
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.330
I've been waiting for you
5
00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:15.930
and today we're gonna wrap
up our teaching on The Fruit
6
00:00:15.930 --> 00:00:17.010
of the Holy Spirit.
7
00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:20.940
And that's why I have this
big bowl of grapes here,
8
00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:23.790
which are just so tasty and delicious.
9
00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:26.010
Fruit is wonderful.
10
00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:28.050
and when you begin to produce the fruit
11
00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:29.550
of the spirit in your life,
12
00:00:29.550 --> 00:00:32.340
you will have no problem having friends
13
00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:36.390
because everyone will want to
eat from your spiritual tree
14
00:00:36.390 --> 00:00:39.870
because you will produce
such wonderful fruit.
15
00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:41.310
The fruit of the spirit, my friend,
16
00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:44.730
is much better than
the works of the flesh.
17
00:00:44.730 --> 00:00:45.780
And that's why I want you
18
00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:47.250
to order my series called The Works
19
00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:49.980
of the Flesh VS The Fruit of the Spirit:
20
00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:52.650
You Choose...Death Permeated Works
21
00:00:52.650 --> 00:00:55.560
or Supernatural Life Giving Fruit.
22
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.650
It's 10 parts. It comes in multiple formats.
23
00:00:58.650 --> 00:00:59.820
It is just loaded
24
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:03.570
with insight from Galatians 5 about the works
25
00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:06.660
of the flesh verses the
fruit of the Spirit.
26
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:09.600
And we really worked to
put together a study guide
27
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:12.360
that you will love. When
you have these study guides
28
00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:14.850
and you can read and
hear at the same time,
29
00:01:14.850 --> 00:01:17.310
you enforce this teaching down deep
30
00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:20.100
inside you. We're told in Romans 10:17,
31
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:23.760
Faith comes by hearing and
hearing the word of God.
32
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.220
You need to hear it and
hear it and hear it.
33
00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:27.600
And when you hear it and see it
34
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.190
and read it at the same time,
35
00:01:29.190 --> 00:01:32.130
you really get the teaching inside you.
36
00:01:32.130 --> 00:01:33.450
So please order yours today.
37
00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:35.760
And remember today is the last day
38
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:37.980
that we're offering this
on the program right now.
39
00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:40.800
So just give us a call or go online.
40
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:43.560
And today is the last day right now
41
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.290
that we're offering my daily
devotional called Sparkling
42
00:01:46.290 --> 00:01:48.720
Gems from the Greek Vol.I.
43
00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:50.190
And if you already have Vol.I.
44
00:01:50.190 --> 00:01:51.780
then you can order Vol.II
45
00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:55.590
which has an additional
1000 Greek word studies
46
00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:56.910
from the New Testament.
47
00:01:56.910 --> 00:01:59.700
And please remember that
when you become a partner
48
00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:02.340
with our ministry, we're
going to send you two books
49
00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:05.430
as our way of saying
welcome to our family.
50
00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:07.500
We're going to send you
Denise's book called The
51
00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:08.910
Gift of Forgiveness.
52
00:02:08.910 --> 00:02:11.370
It may look small, but it is powerful.
53
00:02:11.370 --> 00:02:13.560
And we're going to send
you my book called Life in
54
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:14.910
the Combat Zone.
55
00:02:14.910 --> 00:02:15.960
You can become a partner
56
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.420
by giving us a call or by going online.
57
00:02:18.420 --> 00:02:22.260
And the moment you do, we'll
send you one of these books,
58
00:02:22.260 --> 00:02:23.970
but oh, it's gonna be good today.
59
00:02:23.970 --> 00:02:26.550
So say with me all the way to the end.
60
00:02:26.550 --> 00:02:28.890
I'll be back in just a moment.
61
00:02:28.890 --> 00:02:32.100
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
62
00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:33.930
and your mind
63
00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:37.650
where the word is the
anchor in uncertain times
64
00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:40.920
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
65
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:42.360
We keep it simple,
66
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.920
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
67
00:02:47.790 --> 00:02:49.710
a love that emboldens
68
00:02:50.820 --> 00:02:52.980
and a mission that touches the world.
69
00:02:55.350 --> 00:02:56.850
Let's join Rick Renner.
70
00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:00.430
Welcome back to the program.
71
00:03:00.430 --> 00:03:03.250
I want you to reach for your
Bible, get a piece of paper
72
00:03:03.250 --> 00:03:04.360
and get something to write with
73
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.990
because today I believe you're
going to want to take notes.
74
00:03:07.990 --> 00:03:11.620
And by the way, we always
use the Bible in this program
75
00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:14.860
and we're believing for
a revival of the Bible
76
00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:16.330
to come to the church.
77
00:03:16.330 --> 00:03:17.680
But reach for your Bible
78
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.650
and turn to Galatians 5:16,
79
00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:22.930
which is our anchor verse for this series
80
00:03:22.930 --> 00:03:27.820
where Paul says this, I
say, then walk in the spirit
81
00:03:27.820 --> 00:03:32.110
and you shall not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
82
00:03:32.110 --> 00:03:34.210
And when Paul says, this I say
83
00:03:34.210 --> 00:03:37.030
then, in Greek it says lego de.
84
00:03:37.030 --> 00:03:41.440
The word lego means I say; it's very strong all by itself.
85
00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:44.230
But then he added the little Greek word de which describes
86
00:03:44.230 --> 00:03:48.310
something that is indisputable, absolute, categorical
87
00:03:48.310 --> 00:03:49.540
or emphatic.
88
00:03:49.540 --> 00:03:52.180
And when you put these two words together, lego de,
89
00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:54.670
it literally means, now hear me, I'm going
90
00:03:54.670 --> 00:03:57.190
to tell you something
that is unquestionable.
91
00:03:57.190 --> 00:03:59.830
It is indisputable, it is absolute.
92
00:03:59.830 --> 00:04:02.860
It is certain, it is categorical.
93
00:04:02.860 --> 00:04:04.930
You can count on this to be true,
94
00:04:04.930 --> 00:04:09.670
that if you walk in the
spirit, you will not
95
00:04:09.670 --> 00:04:12.430
fulfill the lust of the flesh.
96
00:04:12.430 --> 00:04:14.238
And as we've seen this word walk,
97
00:04:14.238 --> 00:04:16.446
is the Greek word peripateo.
98
00:04:16.446 --> 00:04:19.510
The word peri describes something that is encircling
99
00:04:19.510 --> 00:04:22.330
or describes a specific vicinity.
100
00:04:22.330 --> 00:04:24.820
The 2nd part of the word peripateo, means to walk.
101
00:04:24.820 --> 00:04:26.860
But when you compound the
two words together, it means
102
00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:31.240
to habitually walk around
in one general vicinity.
103
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.360
It is your sphere of life,
your sphere of existence,
104
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.000
your whole life is lived there and
105
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.600
therefore some translators
have correctly translated this
106
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.310
live in the spirit.
107
00:04:42.310 --> 00:04:44.140
And that is so encouraging
108
00:04:44.140 --> 00:04:47.380
because it means we really
can live in this realm.
109
00:04:47.380 --> 00:04:49.390
It doesn't have to be
hit and miss or just once
110
00:04:49.390 --> 00:04:52.030
or twice a week or maybe on
Sunday when you're on the way
111
00:04:52.030 --> 00:04:54.670
to church, you can walk in this realm.
112
00:04:54.670 --> 00:04:56.410
You can live in this realm.
113
00:04:56.410 --> 00:04:59.080
That is what Galatians 5:16 says.
114
00:04:59.080 --> 00:05:01.360
And if you do this, verse says,
115
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.410
you shall not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
116
00:05:05.410 --> 00:05:07.780
And in Greek shall not
is a double negative.
117
00:05:07.780 --> 00:05:12.520
It means you absolutely, emphatically, will not fulfill the
118
00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:14.650
lust of the flesh.
119
00:05:14.650 --> 00:05:19.330
And the RIV of this verse is as follows: Make the path
120
00:05:19.330 --> 00:05:23.650
of the spirit, the place where
you habitually live and walk.
121
00:05:23.650 --> 00:05:26.680
Become so comfortable on this
spiritual path that you learn
122
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.850
to leisurely and peacefully
stroll along in that realm.
123
00:05:30.850 --> 00:05:34.150
Living your life in this
spirit realm is the best way
124
00:05:34.150 --> 00:05:37.780
to guarantee that you will
not allow the yearnings
125
00:05:37.780 --> 00:05:41.560
of your flesh to creep
out in fulfill themselves.
126
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.860
And then when you come to Galatians 5:19 - 21,
127
00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:48.400
he tells us what the flesh will do if you let the flesh have
128
00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:51.310
its way and the flesh will produce work.
129
00:05:51.310 --> 00:05:53.710
Ugh, that word work in
Greek describes something
130
00:05:53.710 --> 00:05:56.710
that's hard, laborious,
or even destructive.
131
00:05:56.710 --> 00:05:58.460
Listen to what he says.
132
00:05:58.460 --> 00:06:00.500
Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
133
00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:04.400 line:15%
which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
134
00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:08.870
lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
135
00:06:08.870 --> 00:06:13.220
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings,
136
00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:16.490
murders, drunkenness, revellings and such like or
137
00:06:16.490 --> 00:06:18.380
and other things like these.
138
00:06:18.380 --> 00:06:21.170
But then when you come to Galatians 5:22,
139
00:06:21.170 --> 00:06:23.240
he offers us an alternative.
140
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:24.800
He says, but the fruit
141
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.070
of the spirit - talking about the Holy Spirit - the fruit
142
00:06:28.070 --> 00:06:30.980
of the spirit is love, joy, peace,
143
00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:32.570
long suffering, gentleness.
144
00:06:32.570 --> 00:06:35.150
And today we're going
to begin with goodness.
145
00:06:35.150 --> 00:06:39.410
Yesterday we saw joy, peace,
long suffering and gentleness.
146
00:06:39.410 --> 00:06:42.710
But today we're going to
begin with the word goodness.
147
00:06:42.710 --> 00:06:44.240
But hold on, hold on,
148
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.760
this word fruit, is so very important
149
00:06:46.760 --> 00:06:50.210
because there's no fruit
unless there is a seed.
150
00:06:50.210 --> 00:06:52.850
Fruit is the result of a seed.
151
00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:56.120
And we know from 1 John 3:9,
152
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.930
that the seed of God
himself has been planted
153
00:06:59.930 --> 00:07:02.690
inside every born again believer.
154
00:07:02.690 --> 00:07:06.230
The moment you call Jesus
the Lord of your life,
155
00:07:06.230 --> 00:07:09.470
the Holy Spirit and the
word of God came in you.
156
00:07:09.470 --> 00:07:12.260
That's what we read in 1 Peter 1:23.
157
00:07:12.260 --> 00:07:16.100
And in 1 John 3:9, he describes it as seed.
158
00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:18.200
And in Greek it is the word sperma.
159
00:07:18.200 --> 00:07:21.440
It describes seed and it
is the word for sperm.
160
00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:25.760
God's divine sperm came inside my spirit
161
00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:26.810
and your spirit,
162
00:07:26.810 --> 00:07:29.840
the moment we called Jesus
the Lord of our life.
163
00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:34.280
And in that seed that was planted in us is the DNA of God,
164
00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:37.460
the life of God, the
character of God, the power
165
00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:41.900
of God just waiting to
produce its fruit in our life.
166
00:07:41.900 --> 00:07:45.470
And if we'll yield to it,
the spirit in us will begin
167
00:07:45.470 --> 00:07:48.260
to produce supernatural fruit.
168
00:07:48.260 --> 00:07:51.260
And the first fruit it produced was love.
169
00:07:51.260 --> 00:07:54.740
Then we saw next joy, peace,
long, suffering, gentleness.
170
00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:57.050
And today we're going
to begin with goodness
171
00:07:57.050 --> 00:08:00.320
and my friends, this word
goodness is so contrary to
172
00:08:00.320 --> 00:08:02.450
what the flesh produces.
173
00:08:02.450 --> 00:08:06.710
The word goodness is a Greek
word which means goodness in
174
00:08:06.710 --> 00:08:10.040
the sense of being good
to someone. It was used
175
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:14.300
to portray a person who is
generous, bighearted, liberal
176
00:08:14.300 --> 00:08:17.990
and charitable with his finances.
177
00:08:17.990 --> 00:08:20.870
I always think of partners
when I think about goodness
178
00:08:20.870 --> 00:08:23.660
because they're so generous
with their finances.
179
00:08:23.660 --> 00:08:26.510
And if you're a partner, thank
you for the goodness of God
180
00:08:26.510 --> 00:08:28.310
that's working in your life.
181
00:08:28.310 --> 00:08:31.790
But this word goodness
describes a giver, the act
182
00:08:31.790 --> 00:08:35.270
of reaching beyond oneself
to meet the natural
183
00:08:35.270 --> 00:08:38.270
and spiritual needs of
those that are around him.
184
00:08:38.270 --> 00:08:40.850
And it is the very Greek
word which describes
185
00:08:40.850 --> 00:08:42.830
philanthropic giving.
186
00:08:42.830 --> 00:08:46.160
It is when generous, big hearted, liberal
187
00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:50.450
and charitable, especially with his resources and his money.
188
00:08:50.450 --> 00:08:53.540
Now let me give you an amazing
insight to the ministry
189
00:08:53.540 --> 00:08:56.340
of Jesus from Acts 10:38.
190
00:08:56.340 --> 00:09:00.270
And in Acts 10:38, the Bible famously says
191
00:09:01.650 --> 00:09:04.410
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
192
00:09:04.410 --> 00:09:07.440
and power who went about doing good
193
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.960
and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil
194
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.460
for God was with him.
195
00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:13.290
Most people who read that think
196
00:09:13.290 --> 00:09:15.450
that the doing good was healing
197
00:09:15.450 --> 00:09:17.460
and delivering those that were oppressed,
198
00:09:17.460 --> 00:09:19.050
but that's not what it means.
199
00:09:19.050 --> 00:09:20.130
The word doing good
200
00:09:20.130 --> 00:09:23.130
that is used here is a
very special Greek word
201
00:09:23.130 --> 00:09:27.900
that only describes a benefactor or a philanthropist.
202
00:09:27.900 --> 00:09:31.440
One who financially supports charitable works: one
203
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.040
who uses his financial resources to meet the needs
204
00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:37.080
of disadvantaged people.
205
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.460
This word was used in connection with the provision of food,
206
00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:45.240
clothes, or some other commodity associated with physical
207
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.220
or material needs.
208
00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:50.670
It tells us Jesus
financially was a benefactor.
209
00:09:50.670 --> 00:09:52.500
He was a philanthropist.
210
00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:56.280
He financially supported charitable works
211
00:09:56.280 --> 00:10:00.030
and it means that in addition
to all the supernatural things
212
00:10:00.030 --> 00:10:02.070
that Jesus did and he did so many,
213
00:10:02.070 --> 00:10:05.520
he also had an entire branch of his ministry
214
00:10:05.520 --> 00:10:08.910
that supplied financial resources to meet the needs of those
215
00:10:08.910 --> 00:10:10.680
that were disadvantaged.
216
00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:13.800
He helped the poor, he helped the needy.
217
00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:17.640
The Bible tells us this is
part of acting in goodness.
218
00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:20.550
And this explains why
Jesus had a treasurer
219
00:10:20.550 --> 00:10:21.660
for his ministry.
220
00:10:21.660 --> 00:10:23.280
He had a lot of resources,
221
00:10:23.280 --> 00:10:25.380
but rather than squander it on himself
222
00:10:25.380 --> 00:10:29.640
or just on his own ministry,
Jesus cared for the poor.
223
00:10:29.640 --> 00:10:32.190
Jesus helped those that were needy.
224
00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:34.830
And when the Bible tells
us that one of the fruits
225
00:10:34.830 --> 00:10:38.220
of the spirit is goodness, it lets us know
226
00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:40.140
that God is a benefactor.
227
00:10:40.140 --> 00:10:41.910
God is a philanthropist.
228
00:10:41.910 --> 00:10:45.930
God is concerned about the needs of those that are around us
229
00:10:45.930 --> 00:10:47.250
and that he can see.
230
00:10:47.250 --> 00:10:52.200
And when the seed of God
has been planted in us,
231
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.600
it begins to produce in us the desire
232
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.260
to be a philanthropist, to be
a benefactor, to be a giver,
233
00:10:58.260 --> 00:11:01.770
to reach beyond ourself, to
do something for someone else.
234
00:11:01.770 --> 00:11:05.370
And this is so contrary to
the flesh with things only
235
00:11:05.370 --> 00:11:09.330
of itself and spares every
spare dollar on itself.
236
00:11:09.330 --> 00:11:12.360
But when the spirit of God
is working mightily in us,
237
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:17.250
that seed of God in us shifts
our focus from ourselves
238
00:11:17.250 --> 00:11:20.370
to the needs of those who are around us.
239
00:11:20.370 --> 00:11:24.210
This is the fruit of the
spirit called goodness.
240
00:11:24.210 --> 00:11:28.890
It is amazing. It is the
spirit produced urge,
241
00:11:28.890 --> 00:11:32.640
the spirit produced urge
to reach beyond ourself,
242
00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:36.360
to meet the natural needs
of those that are around us.
243
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.670
And my friend, there should
be no greater benefactor
244
00:11:38.670 --> 00:11:42.390
or philanthropist than
a person that's filled
245
00:11:42.390 --> 00:11:44.730
and controlled by the Holy Spirit.
246
00:11:44.730 --> 00:11:48.750
But then Paul goes on
and adds the word faith
247
00:11:48.750 --> 00:11:52.350
and says, faith is also
a fruit of the spirit.
248
00:11:52.350 --> 00:11:55.270
And this word, faith in Greek is the word pistis.
249
00:11:55.270 --> 00:11:58.660
It's the most common word for
faith in the New Testament.
250
00:11:58.660 --> 00:12:02.710
But now, listen, careful: it conveys the idea of one
251
00:12:02.710 --> 00:12:07.180
who is faithful, reliable, loyal, and steadfast.
252
00:12:07.180 --> 00:12:11.740
It pictures one who is trustworthy, dependable, dedicated,
253
00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:15.850
constant, reliable, unfailing, and unwavering.
254
00:12:15.850 --> 00:12:17.530
One that is unchanging
255
00:12:17.530 --> 00:12:21.250
and stable: one that is faithful, reliable, loyal,
256
00:12:21.250 --> 00:12:25.870
steadfast, trustworthy, dependable, constant and unwavering.
257
00:12:25.870 --> 00:12:29.410
All of that is in this word pistis,
258
00:12:29.410 --> 00:12:31.090
which here is translated as faith.
259
00:12:31.090 --> 00:12:33.070
It is a fruit of the spirit
260
00:12:33.070 --> 00:12:35.110
and it is so contrary to the flesh
261
00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:37.720
because if you let the flesh have its way,
262
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:39.730
the flesh will be lazy,
263
00:12:39.730 --> 00:12:41.880
the flesh will be uncommitted:
264
00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:43.596
the flesh will be undependable,
265
00:12:43.596 --> 00:12:45.580
and completely unreliable.
266
00:12:45.580 --> 00:12:50.200
But this fruit of the spirit
called faithfulness is part of
267
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.870
that nature of God himself.
268
00:12:52.870 --> 00:12:55.780
So it makes sense that if
the seed of God is in you,
269
00:12:55.780 --> 00:12:58.450
you'll begin to produce this in your life.
270
00:12:58.450 --> 00:12:59.590
When you read about the nature
271
00:12:59.590 --> 00:13:04.000
of God in Numbers 23:19: it says, God is not a man
272
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.190
that he should lie, nor a son of man
273
00:13:06.190 --> 00:13:07.840
that he should change his mind.
274
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.280
That means God is stable.
275
00:13:09.280 --> 00:13:13.480
And then we wonderfully read in Hebrews 13:8,
276
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:15.850
Jesus Christ the same.
277
00:13:15.850 --> 00:13:19.120
Oh, I love that. He is the same yesterday,
278
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:20.620
today and forever.
279
00:13:20.620 --> 00:13:22.030
You don't have to wake up tomorrow
280
00:13:22.030 --> 00:13:24.220
and wonder what Jesus is going to be like
281
00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:26.920
because he's always the same.
282
00:13:26.920 --> 00:13:30.880
And if this unchanging, constant, stable,
283
00:13:30.880 --> 00:13:34.840
unwavering behavior is the
nature of God, then it is
284
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.450
inside the seed that was placed
285
00:13:37.450 --> 00:13:39.820
inside us when we were born again.
286
00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:43.630
And it should not surprise us
when the Holy Spirit begins
287
00:13:43.630 --> 00:13:46.240
to produce these traits in our life
288
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.360
to make us just like God, my friends,
289
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.420
God is faithful.
290
00:13:52.420 --> 00:13:56.680
So it makes sense that faithfulness should grow in our lives
291
00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:57.820
as one of the fruits
292
00:13:57.820 --> 00:14:01.960
or the byproducts of the
indwelling Holy Spirit.
293
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:06.580
But then Paul has the word meekness also
294
00:14:06.580 --> 00:14:08.080
as a fruit of the spirit.
295
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.820
And this word will surprise you.
296
00:14:11.050 --> 00:14:13.960
The word meekness does
not depict weakness.
297
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:15.460
It is the Greek word prautes.
298
00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:19.030
And listen, the word
meekness actually depicts a
299
00:14:19.030 --> 00:14:22.060
strong-willed person who has learned
300
00:14:22.060 --> 00:14:25.510
to bring his strength under control.
301
00:14:25.510 --> 00:14:29.410
In rare instances, it
described wild animals,
302
00:14:29.410 --> 00:14:32.200
wild animals that were domesticated
303
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:35.830
and brought under control. In a medical sense,
304
00:14:35.830 --> 00:14:37.960
this word meekness, the Greek word prautes,
305
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.020
described soothing medication
306
00:14:41.020 --> 00:14:43.330
to calm the angry mind.
307
00:14:43.330 --> 00:14:47.260
It depicts one so gentle that
he becomes soothing medication
308
00:14:47.260 --> 00:14:49.330
for the angry or upset soul,
309
00:14:49.330 --> 00:14:52.310
or one who brings a
soothing to a troublesome
310
00:14:52.310 --> 00:14:54.920
or unsettling situation.
311
00:14:54.920 --> 00:14:59.210
That is amazing. When meekness is operating in you,
312
00:14:59.210 --> 00:15:01.220
what is in you is so powerful.
313
00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:03.650
You can bring a soothing
to a troubled person
314
00:15:03.650 --> 00:15:05.810
or to a troubled situation.
315
00:15:05.810 --> 00:15:08.720
This does not depict
a person that is weak.
316
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:11.960
It is a person that is under control.
317
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.760
This is a fruit of the spirit.
318
00:15:13.760 --> 00:15:15.950
His flesh wants to rage out of control.
319
00:15:15.950 --> 00:15:19.670
But when meekness is working
in you, you are tamed.
320
00:15:19.670 --> 00:15:21.200
You are brought under control.
321
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.630
Rather than fly into our rage,
322
00:15:23.630 --> 00:15:25.850
rather than have a temper
tantrum, you're able
323
00:15:25.850 --> 00:15:29.540
to remain silent and to
keep your emotions in check
324
00:15:29.540 --> 00:15:30.830
and under control.
325
00:15:30.830 --> 00:15:34.040
And even if you find
yourself in a hard situation,
326
00:15:34.040 --> 00:15:38.000
you are able to stay silent
until the appropriate moment
327
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.290
to speak or
328
00:15:39.290 --> 00:15:42.950
until the moment when you've
been asked to respond.
329
00:15:42.950 --> 00:15:45.320
A meek person was even used
330
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:49.430
to describe soothing medication to calm an angry mind
331
00:15:49.430 --> 00:15:52.250
or a troubling situation,
332
00:15:52.250 --> 00:15:55.010
which means, when this is working in you,
333
00:15:55.010 --> 00:15:56.960
peace will come to the environment.
334
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:58.490
It is so powerful.
335
00:15:58.490 --> 00:16:02.660
The flesh loves to rage out of control.
336
00:16:02.660 --> 00:16:05.960
But when meekness is being produced in you
337
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:09.770
by the spirit in you, it
will make you careful.
338
00:16:09.770 --> 00:16:11.300
It will make you controlled,
339
00:16:11.300 --> 00:16:15.470
and you can become God's
soothing medication
340
00:16:15.470 --> 00:16:18.350
for angry and upset people.
341
00:16:18.350 --> 00:16:23.300
That is amazing. But wait,
then Paul adds temperance.
342
00:16:23.300 --> 00:16:24.860 line:15%
What is temperance? Well
343
00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:26.690 line:15%
in Greek, it is the word, enkrateia
344
00:16:26.690 --> 00:16:28.790
and oh, this is a very important word.
345
00:16:28.790 --> 00:16:30.680
It's a compound of two words: the word en
346
00:16:30.680 --> 00:16:32.180
and the word kratos.
347
00:16:32.180 --> 00:16:34.820 line:15%
The word en means in the word kratos is the
348
00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:35.990
Greek word for power.
349
00:16:35.990 --> 00:16:37.940
But when you compound the two words together,
350
00:16:37.940 --> 00:16:42.260
it forms the word, enkrateia, which denotes power over
351
00:16:42.260 --> 00:16:44.090
one's self.
352
00:16:44.090 --> 00:16:48.350
Hence, it's often translated as self-control.
353
00:16:48.350 --> 00:16:50.930
It denotes one who can control himself,
354
00:16:50.930 --> 00:16:53.690
control his appetites,
control his desires.
355
00:16:53.690 --> 00:16:57.410
It is restraint, moderation,
discipline, balance,
356
00:16:57.410 --> 00:17:00.200
temperance, or again, self-control.
357
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.190
A person with temperance has
power over his appetites,
358
00:17:04.190 --> 00:17:08.150
his physical urges, his
passions and his desires.
359
00:17:08.150 --> 00:17:12.050
He's able to say no to overeating.
360
00:17:12.050 --> 00:17:16.100
He's able to say no to
overindulging in the flesh.
361
00:17:16.100 --> 00:17:20.840
He's able to say no to any excesses in the physical realm.
362
00:17:20.840 --> 00:17:24.110
And his life is marked by moderation
363
00:17:24.110 --> 00:17:26.030
and control.
364
00:17:26.030 --> 00:17:30.980
It's discipline, balance, temperance, restraint, moderation,
365
00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:32.480
self-control.
366
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:36.500
The flesh on the other hand,
if you let it have its way,
367
00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:41.000
it will over worry, it will
overwork, it will overeat,
368
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.290
it will overindulge and
run itself to death.
369
00:17:45.290 --> 00:17:49.500
But when a person is
controlled by the Holy Spirit,
370
00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:51.870
God's spirit produces in him -
371
00:17:51.870 --> 00:17:55.980
listen - a discipline over the physical realm
372
00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:59.280
that helps him sustain his physical condition
373
00:17:59.280 --> 00:18:02.760
to stay in good health, to remain free from sin
374
00:18:02.760 --> 00:18:06.780
and to live a life that is moderate and balanced.
375
00:18:06.780 --> 00:18:09.960
All of that is in this word temperance,
376
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.560
which means in control of one's self.
377
00:18:13.560 --> 00:18:15.780
Wow. So I have to ask you - now
378
00:18:15.780 --> 00:18:18.330
that you understand the meaning of the word temperance,
379
00:18:18.330 --> 00:18:21.240
can you say that you're
in control of your temper,
380
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.910
your physical appetites and your urges?
381
00:18:23.910 --> 00:18:25.170
Or would you have to say
382
00:18:25.170 --> 00:18:28.500
that your flesh is running the show?
383
00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:31.170
My friends, don't let
the flesh run its show
384
00:18:31.170 --> 00:18:34.440
because it will run you to death.
385
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.730
Let temperance work inside you, and my friends,
386
00:18:38.730 --> 00:18:41.730
it's already in you because
the seed of God is in you
387
00:18:41.730 --> 00:18:44.460
and temperance is part
of the character of God.
388
00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:45.960
And if you'll yield to it,
389
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.570
the Holy Spirit will supernaturally begin
390
00:18:48.570 --> 00:18:53.040
to produce this godly
powerful fruit in your life.
391
00:18:53.040 --> 00:18:57.180
But in Galatians 5:16, again,
392
00:18:57.180 --> 00:19:01.260 line:15%
Paul says, this I say then. Again in Greek it says lego de,
393
00:19:01.260 --> 00:19:05.190
I say. The word de describes something indisputable,
394
00:19:05.190 --> 00:19:09.570
unquestionable, absolute, categorical, emphatically.
395
00:19:09.570 --> 00:19:11.970
I'm telling you, emphatically indisputably,
396
00:19:11.970 --> 00:19:15.480
absolutely categorically, I'm
telling you, listen to me,
397
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:19.740
what I'm telling you is certain. walk in the spirit.
398
00:19:19.740 --> 00:19:22.230
The word walk, again, meaning habitually walk,
399
00:19:22.230 --> 00:19:26.580
live in the spirit and you shall not: shall not,
400
00:19:26.580 --> 00:19:29.220
in Greek, a double negative - you will in no wise:
401
00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:32.820
you emphatically will not fulfill the lust
402
00:19:32.820 --> 00:19:37.820
of the flesh - which means - you can make the choice
403
00:19:38.010 --> 00:19:42.180
to leave the low road and
step up onto the higher road
404
00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:47.040
and to walk there habitually
and even live in the spirit.
405
00:19:47.040 --> 00:19:51.300
And that's why the RIV of Galatians 5:16 says,
406
00:19:51.300 --> 00:19:53.820
Make the path of the spirit,
407
00:19:53.820 --> 00:19:55.860
the place where you habitually live
408
00:19:55.860 --> 00:20:00.240
and walk, become so comfortable on the spiritual path
409
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:01.470
that you learned to leisurely
410
00:20:01.470 --> 00:20:04.680
and peacefully stroll along in that realm,
411
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:06.990
living your life in the
spirit realm is the best way
412
00:20:06.990 --> 00:20:10.560
to guarantee that you will
not allow the yearnings
413
00:20:10.560 --> 00:20:14.490
of your flesh to creep out and fulfill themselves.
414
00:20:14.490 --> 00:20:17.820
And then again, he gives us the option in Galatians 5:
415
00:20:17.820 --> 00:20:18.900
19 to 21.
416
00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:20.580
Now the works of the flesh - here they are -
417
00:20:20.580 --> 00:20:24.360
they're manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication,
418
00:20:24.360 --> 00:20:27.570
uncleaness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
419
00:20:27.570 --> 00:20:31.020
variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies,
420
00:20:31.020 --> 00:20:33.030
envys, murders, drunkenness, revelings
421
00:20:33.030 --> 00:20:35.460
and such like other things like these.
422
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:38.760
And then Paul says - don't do that. Do this instead.
423
00:20:38.760 --> 00:20:40.680
But the fruit of the spirit
424
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:43.770
and my friends, this fruit will be easy for you to produce
425
00:20:43.770 --> 00:20:46.890
because the seed of all of this is in you.
426
00:20:46.890 --> 00:20:48.550
You received it when you were born
427
00:20:48.550 --> 00:20:50.020
again. Yield to it
428
00:20:50.020 --> 00:20:53.020
and the spirit will begin to produce through you,
429
00:20:53.020 --> 00:20:57.100
love, joy, peace, long, suffering, gentleness, goodness,
430
00:20:57.100 --> 00:21:00.100
faith, meekness and temperance.
431
00:21:00.100 --> 00:21:03.070
You'll be like a luscious bowl of fruit.
432
00:21:03.070 --> 00:21:05.260
People will love to be around you
433
00:21:05.260 --> 00:21:10.240
because your life is just so flavorable and delicious.
434
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.400
I'll be back in just a moment.
435
00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:23.950
Someone asked the fun question - Which onsite location
436
00:21:23.950 --> 00:21:27.700
where you have filmed has personally impressed me the most?
437
00:21:27.700 --> 00:21:29.500
Well, I'll tell you, I've seen a lot
438
00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:31.720
and they are all very impressive.
439
00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:33.430
For example, when we went to the site
440
00:21:33.430 --> 00:21:36.130
of Noah's Ark in the
eastern part of Turkey,
441
00:21:36.130 --> 00:21:38.830
how can you not be impressed
when you stand in front
442
00:21:38.830 --> 00:21:41.140
of the ruins of Noah's Ark?
443
00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:43.270
But I've been to so many
sites around the world
444
00:21:43.270 --> 00:21:45.730
that have made an impression
on me that if I have
445
00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:49.150
to choose one, it would probably be the Titus Tunnel,
446
00:21:49.150 --> 00:21:51.400
which you've probably never heard of.
447
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:54.640
It is a massive tunnel in
the southern part of Turkey,
448
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:59.200
right on the border of Syria,
where believers for 100 years
449
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:02.230
with hammers and chisels, forged a tunnel
450
00:22:02.230 --> 00:22:05.650
through solid rock, eating
only bread and water
451
00:22:05.650 --> 00:22:08.020
and working until they fell dead.
452
00:22:08.020 --> 00:22:10.750
And when you stand in the Titus Tunnel
453
00:22:10.750 --> 00:22:14.200
and literally see billions of
chisel marks on the side of
454
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:17.830
that tunnel, it makes such
an impression about believers
455
00:22:17.830 --> 00:22:20.260
that have given their
life for their faith.
456
00:22:20.260 --> 00:22:23.380
So I would have to say the
Titus Tunnel probably made the
457
00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:25.360
greatest impression on me.
458
00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:28.600
A life dominated by
the flesh is a hard life.
459
00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:33.070
It is filled with excess, imbalance, extremity, laziness,
460
00:22:33.070 --> 00:22:35.980
self-abuse, hatred, strife, bitterness,
461
00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:38.350
irresponsibility and neglect.
462
00:22:38.350 --> 00:22:40.960
The way of the flesh is
the hardest route to take,
463
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:43.960
but a life dominated by
the Holy Spirit is filled
464
00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:45.520
with benefits and blessings.
465
00:22:45.520 --> 00:22:48.940
I'm talking about love,
joy, peace, long suffering,
466
00:22:48.940 --> 00:22:52.750
gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness and temperance.
467
00:22:52.750 --> 00:22:53.980
Don't give way to the flesh
468
00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:56.680
and allow it to produce
its ugly work in your life.
469
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:59.410

Hey, this is Rick Renner
494
00:24:00.260 --> 00:24:05.000
and today I'm in the Tulsa Office Building in the warehouse.
495
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:06.830
I love to come here
496
00:24:06.830 --> 00:24:09.413
because I see all the resources which
497
00:24:09.413 --> 00:24:10.979
we're preparing to send
498
00:24:10.979 --> 00:24:13.838
to people literally to
the ends of the earth.
499
00:24:13.838 --> 00:24:16.790
Here we have Living In The Combat Zone, Light
500
00:24:16.790 --> 00:24:20.330
In Darkness, Sparkling Gems, Apostles and Prophets.
501
00:24:20.330 --> 00:24:22.430
And here we have a copy of my new book,
502
00:24:22.430 --> 00:24:24.200
which is called World Before the Flood.
503
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.650
Wow, this book has gone
out by the thousands.
504
00:24:27.650 --> 00:24:30.080
And all of that happens from here.
505
00:24:30.080 --> 00:24:32.630
These books don't stay here very long
506
00:24:32.630 --> 00:24:35.810
because people around
the world are crying out
507
00:24:35.810 --> 00:24:39.950
for resources. They want teaching that they can trust.
508
00:24:39.950 --> 00:24:43.550
And we send all of these materials out from here.
509
00:24:43.550 --> 00:24:45.920
Wow, the ministry that goes out
510
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.860
of this facility is amazing.
511
00:24:48.860 --> 00:24:53.240
And do you know of our original Ministry Expansion Project,
512
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:57.920
70% of it is already finished
and I want to say thank you.
513
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.600
And now we need to keep it up
514
00:24:59.600 --> 00:25:02.420
until we knock out the remaining 30%.
515
00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:03.560
And if you've never been a part
516
00:25:03.560 --> 00:25:07.400
of our Ministry Expansion Project Giving Team,
517
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.010
I'm asking you today to become a part of the team.
518
00:25:10.010 --> 00:25:11.600
We can knock this out.
519
00:25:11.600 --> 00:25:16.250
All we have is 30% left and we're done.
520
00:25:16.250 --> 00:25:18.830
And when we're done, we're
gonna quit talking about it
521

543
00:26:21.140 --> 00:26:23.060
Father, thank you so
much that we've been able
544
00:26:23.060 --> 00:26:25.760
to study the works of the flesh verses the
545
00:26:25.760 --> 00:26:26.900
fruit of the Holy Spirit.
546
00:26:26.900 --> 00:26:29.960
Help us to choose wisely to let the fruit
547
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:31.970
of the Holy Spirit work in us
548
00:26:31.970 --> 00:26:36.680
and to pull the plug on the flesh - in Jesus'
549
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.420
name, Amen.
550
00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:40.160
Remember to let us know
how to pray for you.
551
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:43.230
Just give us a call or send us your email.
552
00:26:43.230 --> 00:26:45.600
But hey, I'll see you on Monday until then,
553
00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:48.480
remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
554
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:51.270
of a king is there's power."
555
00:26:51.270 --> 00:26:53.520
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
556
00:26:53.520 --> 00:26:57.930
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
557
00:26:57.930 --> 00:27:00.090
Jesus has to give you.
558
00:27:00.090 --> 00:27:04.680
Pray this prayer with me
right now: Lord, I repent
559
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:08.160
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
560
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:11.130
and Lord. Wash away my sin
561
00:27:11.130 --> 00:27:14.160
and make me completely new.
562
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:18.030
I thank you that my sin is removed
563
00:27:18.030 --> 00:27:23.030
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
564
00:27:23.490 --> 00:27:27.480
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
565
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:29.160
for the rest of my life.
566
00:27:30.060 --> 00:27:31.060
Amen.
567
00:27:33.990 --> 00:27:36.810

prayer of salvation with us,
568
00:27:36.810 --> 00:27:38.760
