My name is Rick Renner
5
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:13.080
and my friends, I've been waiting for you
6
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.080
and today we're going to continue in our study in James
7
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:18.510
5 in a brand new series,
8
00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:21.990
which is called Getting the Basics Right.
9
00:00:21.990 --> 00:00:26.460
This series is just jam
packed with so many insights
10
00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:28.170
that are wonderful.
11
00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:31.230
The subtitle says, Biblical Guidelines for Money,
12
00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:32.460

13
00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.810
and Dealing with wayward believers, friends or loved ones.
14
00:00:36.810 --> 00:00:38.760
It comes in multiple formats
15
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:41.160
and it comes with a study guide so
16
00:00:41.160 --> 00:00:43.110
that you can read all the
material while you see
17
00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:44.610
it or while you hear it.
18
00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:46.590
We really want you to get this teaching
19
00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:48.065
down deep inside you.
20
00:00:48.065 --> 00:00:51.060
And James 5 is so rich
21
00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:53.880
and filled with such important instruction.

The subtitle says How to Survive, thrive
33
00:01:20.310 --> 00:01:23.970
and Overcome in the Midst
of Difficult Situations.
34
00:01:23.970 --> 00:01:26.460
This is dedicated to our partners
35
00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:29.220
and we're going to send you

We send these two books to
anyone who becomes a partner
38
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:36.870
with our ministry and please remember
39
00:01:36.870 --> 00:01:38.940
that if you need prayer,
we're waiting for the phone
40
00:01:38.940 --> 00:01:40.440
to ring this very moment
41
00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:43.620
or for your email to show up in our inbox.
42
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:46.315
And the moment we hear
from you in agreement
43
00:01:46.315 --> 00:01:47.756
with Matthew 18:19,
44
00:01:47.756 --> 00:01:50.239
we're gonna get into a prayer of agreement
45
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.560
with you and Jesus is going to hear us
46
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.360
and Jesus is going to answer
47
00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:57.660
and he's going to do something
marvelous in your life.
48
00:01:57.660 --> 00:02:01.170
But we'll pray a lot better for you if we know how to pray.
49
00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:04.020
So give us a call or send us an email
50
00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:06.300
and the moment we hear from
you, we're going to pray
51
00:02:06.300 --> 00:02:11.160
with you for God to move, but
I'll be back in just a moment.
52
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:14.340
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
53
00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:18.510
and your mind where the word
is the anchor in uncertain
54
00:02:18.510 --> 00:02:23.190
times and doctrine
doesn't bend to culture.
55
00:02:23.190 --> 00:02:24.600
We keep it simple,
56
00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:29.190
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
57
00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:31.980
a love that emboldens
58
00:02:33.090 --> 00:02:35.250
and a mission that touches the world.
59
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.090
Let's join Rick Renner.
60
00:02:41.220 --> 00:02:42.870
My friend, reach for your Bible.
61
00:02:42.870 --> 00:02:44.820
We always use the Bible in this program
62
00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:47.670
and today we're gonna return to James 5
63
00:02:47.670 --> 00:02:51.030
and we're going to be
dealing with verses 13 to 18;
64
00:02:51.030 --> 00:02:53.850
but let's read them: in James 5:13,
65
00:02:53.850 --> 00:02:56.040
James says, Is any among you afflicted?
66
00:02:56.040 --> 00:02:57.690
Well, we know they were afflicted
67
00:02:57.690 --> 00:03:00.130
because they were going
through very difficult times.
68
00:03:00.130 --> 00:03:03.400 line:15%
He says, is any among you
afflicted? Let him pray.
69
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.710
Is any merry, let him sing
70
00:03:05.710 --> 00:03:10.300
psalms. Verse 14: Is any sick among you?
71
00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:12.190
Let him call for the elders of the church
72
00:03:12.190 --> 00:03:15.040
and let them pray over him, anointing him
73
00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:17.110
with oil in the name of the Lord.
74
00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:21.520
Verse 15: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick.
75
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:22.870
What does that mean?
76
00:03:22.870 --> 00:03:26.080
You're gonna find out today, and the Lord shall raise him up
77
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.620
and if you have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
78
00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:33.430
Verse 16: confess your faults one to another
79
00:03:33.430 --> 00:03:36.370
and pray for one another that you may be healed.
80
00:03:36.370 --> 00:03:38.980
The effects will fervent
prayer of a righteous man
81
00:03:38.980 --> 00:03:40.960
of availeth much.
82
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.010
Verse 17: Elijah was a man subject to like passions
83
00:03:45.010 --> 00:03:48.340
as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain
84
00:03:48.340 --> 00:03:51.400
and it rained not on the earth by the space of 3 years
85
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.340
and 6 months. Verse 18: and he prayed again
86
00:03:54.340 --> 00:03:55.870
and the heavens gave rain
87
00:03:55.870 --> 00:03:58.240
and the earth brought forth her fruit.
88
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:03.010
But let's go back to verse 13
where James asks the question,
89
00:04:03.010 --> 00:04:05.800
is any among you afflicted?
90
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.680
And the word afflicted is
the Greek word kakopatheia.
91
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.550 line:15%
It's a compound of two words.
The first word is kakos.
92
00:04:12.550 --> 00:04:15.130
Oh, this word kakos is a terrible word.
93
00:04:15.130 --> 00:04:20.130
It describes something foul,
vile, horrible, destructive.
94
00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:22.930
The second part of the
word is the word pathos.
95
00:04:22.930 --> 00:04:26.350
The word pathos describes the
kind of suffering in the mind
96
00:04:26.350 --> 00:04:27.820
or in the emotions.
97
00:04:27.820 --> 00:04:30.640
While they may have been
physically suffering,
98
00:04:30.640 --> 00:04:33.160
they were also suffering in their mind
99
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.660
and in their emotions.
100
00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:37.510
They were just going through
a really tough time mentally,
101
00:04:37.510 --> 00:04:39.130
spiritually, physically.
102
00:04:39.130 --> 00:04:40.780
And now James says, are any
103
00:04:40.780 --> 00:04:43.690
of you suffering on
these particular levels?
104
00:04:43.690 --> 00:04:48.100
And he tells them what to
do. He says, let him pray.
105
00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:51.250
Notice he doesn't say let them pray.
106
00:04:51.250 --> 00:04:52.390
And this is important
107
00:04:52.390 --> 00:04:55.270
because very often when we
have troubles rather than run
108
00:04:55.270 --> 00:04:58.240
to the throne, we run to the phone
109
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.190
and it's okay to run to the phone.
110
00:05:00.190 --> 00:05:02.230
If you need prayer, call us right now.
111
00:05:02.230 --> 00:05:05.080
But before you run to the
phone, first you need to run
112
00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:06.400
to the throne
113
00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:09.190
and notice that James
puts the responsibility
114
00:05:09.190 --> 00:05:12.490
of prayer first on the person that's going
115
00:05:12.490 --> 00:05:13.900
through the hard time.
116
00:05:13.900 --> 00:05:15.820
Before you ask somebody else to pray, you need
117
00:05:15.820 --> 00:05:17.170
to pray yourself.
118
00:05:17.170 --> 00:05:19.420
And in fact, the RIV
119
00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:23.290
of James 5:13 could be read like this:
120
00:05:23.290 --> 00:05:24.520
Is anyone among you going
121
00:05:24.520 --> 00:05:27.040
through an extremely
difficult time in life
122
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.620
that's causing him a lot of grief?
123
00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:32.350
I urge that person to draw near to God,
124
00:05:32.350 --> 00:05:34.060
to pour his heart out to him
125
00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:35.980
and be willing to give up anything
126
00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:40.330
and to do anything God requires in order for his situation
127
00:05:40.330 --> 00:05:42.520
to be changed:
128
00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:45.910
that the responsibility
first is on the individual
129
00:05:45.910 --> 00:05:47.200
himself to pray.
130
00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:49.090
Then you can ask others to pray.
131
00:05:49.090 --> 00:05:52.030
But don't forget you
need to pray yourself.
132
00:05:52.030 --> 00:05:56.710
Then in James 5:13, James adds: Is any among you merry?
133
00:05:56.710 --> 00:05:58.550
Well, that's quite a question.
134
00:05:58.550 --> 00:06:01.340
The word merry is a translation of two Greek words.
135
00:06:01.340 --> 00:06:03.140 line:15%
The whole word is euthumeo.
136
00:06:03.140 --> 00:06:07.010
The word eu, describes something swell, something wonderful.
137
00:06:07.010 --> 00:06:09.860
And in fact, it is where
we get the word euphoric.
138
00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:11.000
It describes a person
139
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.730
that just feels euphoric about something.
140
00:06:13.730 --> 00:06:16.070
The 2nd part of the word comes from thumos,
141
00:06:16.070 --> 00:06:17.780
which describes passions.
142
00:06:17.780 --> 00:06:20.510
But when you compound the 2 words together, guess what
143
00:06:20.510 --> 00:06:23.840
it describes? The new word expresses the idea
144
00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:27.890
of a person who's just
about to explode with joy.
145
00:06:27.890 --> 00:06:29.600
He is so excited
146
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.480
and so overjoyed, he can
hardly contain himself.
147
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.520
He's so tickled about something
148
00:06:34.520 --> 00:06:38.690
that he can no longer restrain
the happiness that he feels.
149
00:06:38.690 --> 00:06:42.320
And James says, if you are
merry, if you're elated,
150
00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:46.400
if you're euphoric about what
is going on in your life,
151
00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:48.620
then let him sing.
152
00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:52.700 line:15%
Psalms. Sing psalms in Greek as the word psallo, which means
153
00:06:52.700 --> 00:06:55.610
to pluck as to pluck the strings of a harp
154
00:06:55.610 --> 00:06:59.150
or a bow is the equivalent
to say, Hey, grab your guitar
155
00:06:59.150 --> 00:07:01.280
and begin to rejoice.
156
00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:04.970
But figuratively, it is
used in the New Testament
157
00:07:04.970 --> 00:07:07.670
to describe a person who
begins to pluck the strings
158
00:07:07.670 --> 00:07:11.210
of their heart and they
begin to worship and rejoice
159
00:07:11.210 --> 00:07:12.860
and to sing and here
160
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:16.160
James is again speaking to one
individual just like he said
161
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:17.990
to the person going through a hard time,
162
00:07:17.990 --> 00:07:21.680
you pray: now he says to the person rejoicing,
163
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.120
you rejoice.
164
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.970
Which means you don't have
to wait on somebody else
165
00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:27.740
to rejoice with you.
166
00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:30.140
Sometimes something wonderful
happens in your life
167
00:07:30.140 --> 00:07:31.610
and you want people to rejoice
168
00:07:31.610 --> 00:07:34.520
and when you share it, they
just don't seem to get it.
169
00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:37.010
They don't understand how wonderful it is.
170
00:07:37.010 --> 00:07:39.530
Well, rather than be disappointed by their response,
171
00:07:39.530 --> 00:07:40.760
grab your guitar
172
00:07:40.760 --> 00:07:42.920
or begin to pluck the
strings of your own heart
173
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.350
and say whether anybody else understands or not,
174
00:07:45.350 --> 00:07:48.260
I'm euphoric about what's happening in my life
175
00:07:48.260 --> 00:07:49.970
and I'm gonna sing psalms
176
00:07:49.970 --> 00:07:52.310
and I'm gonna worship
God for what he's done.
177
00:07:52.310 --> 00:07:55.310
You can do that all by yourself.
178
00:07:55.310 --> 00:08:00.230
And the RIV of James 5:13 could be translated:
179
00:08:00.230 --> 00:08:02.270
Is there anyone among you so excited
180
00:08:02.270 --> 00:08:04.130
that he can hardly contain it?
181
00:08:04.130 --> 00:08:07.310
And who feels as if he's
about to burst with joy?
182
00:08:07.310 --> 00:08:09.320
If that person is so overjoyed
183
00:08:09.320 --> 00:08:12.410
and tickled that he can no longer restrain the happiness he
184
00:08:12.410 --> 00:08:17.060
feels, let him sing the
song he feels in his heart.
185
00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:18.830
You can do that by yourself.
186
00:08:18.830 --> 00:08:19.970
You can do that right
187
00:08:19.970 --> 00:08:23.450
where you are without the
participation of anybody else
188
00:08:23.450 --> 00:08:25.760
and God will join you.
189
00:08:25.760 --> 00:08:29.240
He'll come to enjoy the praise
and to enjoy the worship.
190
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.490
You won't be alone very long.
191
00:08:31.490 --> 00:08:36.470
But then in James 5:14,
he then adds: Is any sick
192
00:08:36.470 --> 00:08:39.470
among you, let him call for
the elders of the church
193
00:08:39.470 --> 00:08:42.050
and let them pray over him, anointing him
194
00:08:42.050 --> 00:08:45.170
with oil in the name of the Lord.
195
00:08:45.170 --> 00:08:46.580
Well first of all, it's amazing
196
00:08:46.580 --> 00:08:50.840
that he even asked the question - is any sick among you?
197
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.460
If he were writing today to the church,
198
00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:54.530
he would probably say
now about all the sick
199
00:08:54.530 --> 00:08:55.950
people that are among you.
200
00:08:55.950 --> 00:08:57.900
But these believers had learned
201
00:08:57.900 --> 00:08:59.850
that healing was in the atonement
202
00:08:59.850 --> 00:09:02.850
and he asked, are there
any sick people among you?
203
00:09:02.850 --> 00:09:05.220
Is there any sick among you?
204
00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:08.280
That's how healing power
was working among them.
205
00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:11.520
He had to ask, are there sick among you?
206
00:09:11.520 --> 00:09:12.750
The word sick that is used
207
00:09:12.750 --> 00:09:14.790 line:15%
here's the Greek word astheneo,
208
00:09:14.790 --> 00:09:19.110
and this word is full of
revelation about sickness.
209
00:09:19.110 --> 00:09:22.680
The Greek word astheneo, here
translated sick, is a word
210
00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:26.820
that generally describes a
person who's frail in health:
211
00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:30.780
people so physically weak
that they're unable to travel.
212
00:09:30.780 --> 00:09:31.920
That's very, very important
213
00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:35.790
in this verse. It carries the
idea of those who are feeble,
214
00:09:35.790 --> 00:09:39.990
fragile, faint, incapacitated, disabled
215
00:09:39.990 --> 00:09:44.070
or simply in such poor health
that it would be unthinkable
216
00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:46.410
to transport them to someplace.
217
00:09:46.410 --> 00:09:48.493
Hence this word sick,
218
00:09:48.493 --> 00:09:51.568
the Greek word astheneo, depicts shut-ins
219
00:09:51.568 --> 00:09:53.430
or those that are home bound.
220
00:09:53.430 --> 00:09:55.920
And believe it or not, it
can also describe those
221
00:09:55.920 --> 00:09:57.840
that are in financial need.
222
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.390
And the truth is when
you're under physical attack
223
00:10:00.390 --> 00:10:03.390
and you're sick, it also
affects your finances
224
00:10:03.390 --> 00:10:05.340
because you spend all
your money on medication,
225
00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:06.870
medical services.
226
00:10:06.870 --> 00:10:09.990
But the main point in this particular verse, shutin
227
00:10:09.990 --> 00:10:13.020
or home bound, these people
are so frail, they are
228
00:10:13.020 --> 00:10:15.750
so incapacitated, they
can't leave their house,
229
00:10:15.750 --> 00:10:17.790
you cannot transport them.
230
00:10:17.790 --> 00:10:19.980
So this does not describe people
231
00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:23.370
with minor ailments like the common cold.
232
00:10:23.370 --> 00:10:26.790
Rather, it refers to people
who are physically frail
233
00:10:26.790 --> 00:10:29.580
or feeble due to some condition:
234
00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:33.540
this deteriorated physical
condition has rendered them
235
00:10:33.540 --> 00:10:35.430
unable to travel.
236
00:10:35.430 --> 00:10:37.020
They're homebound
237
00:10:37.020 --> 00:10:40.410
and unable to come to
church to receive prayer
238
00:10:40.410 --> 00:10:42.000
for their healing.
239
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.310
That's very important in this verse
240
00:10:44.310 --> 00:10:47.520
and that's why he continues in verse 14
241
00:10:47.520 --> 00:10:49.650
and says, is any sick among you?
242
00:10:49.650 --> 00:10:52.110
Let him call for the elders.
243
00:10:52.110 --> 00:10:55.440
This person is so sick
he can't go to church,
244
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.270
he can't go to the elders.
245
00:10:57.270 --> 00:11:00.690
So James says, in this particular case, you need to call
246
00:11:00.690 --> 00:11:03.360
for the elders to come to you.
247
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.000
And the word call is the
Greek word proskaleo.
248
00:11:06.900 --> 00:11:08.730
It's a compound of two words,
249
00:11:08.730 --> 00:11:10.980
the word pros and the word kaleo.
250
00:11:10.980 --> 00:11:15.150 line:15%
The word pros means toward:
the word kaleo means to call
251
00:11:15.150 --> 00:11:16.380
to invite or to beckon.
252
00:11:16.380 --> 00:11:18.780
But when you compound the
two words together, it means
253
00:11:18.780 --> 00:11:21.030
to call invite beckon
254
00:11:21.030 --> 00:11:24.120
or to summon to ones side.
255
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.020
And the tense that is used in
this verse is an ardent plea.
256
00:11:28.020 --> 00:11:31.800
This is a person who's
urgently asking the elders,
257
00:11:31.800 --> 00:11:35.550
please come to me to pray for me
258
00:11:35.550 --> 00:11:40.110
because I'm so sick I can't
leave my house to come to you.
259
00:11:40.110 --> 00:11:44.310
That is what James is
describing in this verse.
260
00:11:44.310 --> 00:11:46.980
And he says, let him call for the elders.
261
00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:49.920 line:15%
The word elders is the Greek word, presbuteros,
262
00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:53.470
which was used in the Septuagint version of the Old Testament:
263
00:11:53.470 --> 00:11:57.610 line:15%
to describe the ruling members
of local synagogues in Israel
264
00:11:57.610 --> 00:11:59.320
or teachers of the law.
265
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.590
But in the New Testament,
the word presbuteros is used
266
00:12:02.590 --> 00:12:05.140
to describe official church leaders.
267
00:12:05.140 --> 00:12:08.470
Let him call for the official
church leaders asking them
268
00:12:08.470 --> 00:12:10.450
to come to make an ardent plea.
269
00:12:10.450 --> 00:12:13.570
Please come, I'm so sick,
I can't come to you.
270
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:15.490
I need you to come to me.
271
00:12:15.490 --> 00:12:18.610
And then he says in verse 14, is any sick among you,
272
00:12:18.610 --> 00:12:20.530
let him call for the elders of the church
273
00:12:20.530 --> 00:12:22.300
and let them pray over him.
274
00:12:22.300 --> 00:12:27.125
Doing what? Anointing him with oil.
275
00:12:27.125 --> 00:12:28.642 line:15%
The Greek word aleipho
276
00:12:28.642 --> 00:12:31.810 line:15%
which means simply to anoint with oil.
277
00:12:31.810 --> 00:12:35.950
Oil itself has no healing properties
278
00:12:35.950 --> 00:12:37.210
is simply oil.
279
00:12:37.210 --> 00:12:40.090
But in both the old
280
00:12:40.090 --> 00:12:41.680
and in the New Testament,
281
00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:45.730
oil symbolically depicted the
presence of the Holy Spirit
282
00:12:45.730 --> 00:12:47.770
and the power of God.
283
00:12:47.770 --> 00:12:51.880
Although the oil itself does not heal,
284
00:12:51.880 --> 00:12:56.500
the moment the oil is applied
in prayer is the moment the
285
00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:59.740
sick person is to release their faith.
286
00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:02.560
It is a point of contact
for them to believe
287
00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:05.200
that God's presence is
going to come upon them
288
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.770
and is going to bring healing
to their bodies, is intended
289
00:13:08.770 --> 00:13:10.660
to be a point of contact
290
00:13:10.660 --> 00:13:13.390
and it is representative of the presence
291
00:13:13.390 --> 00:13:15.820
and the power of the Holy Spirit.
292
00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:20.350
And it goes on to say - anointing him with oil in the name
293
00:13:20.350 --> 00:13:23.860
of the Lord. The word name here,
294
00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:25.630 line:15%
the Greek word onoma, and please listen
295
00:13:25.630 --> 00:13:29.290
careful, this is so powerful and so important.
296
00:13:29.290 --> 00:13:32.470
It represents the full authority
297
00:13:32.470 --> 00:13:36.790
that exists in the person being named.
298
00:13:36.790 --> 00:13:41.050
Listen, by praying in Jesus' name,
299
00:13:41.050 --> 00:13:45.010
a believer by praying in Jesus' name,
300
00:13:45.010 --> 00:13:49.750
a believer actually stands in
the physical place of Jesus
301
00:13:49.750 --> 00:13:53.860
who is in heaven and he acts on his behalf
302
00:13:53.860 --> 00:13:57.490
and in the authority that
Jesus has invested to him
303
00:13:57.490 --> 00:14:00.610
as his official representative.
304
00:14:01.450 --> 00:14:05.020
Thus the prayer is prayed
by someone who is standing
305
00:14:05.020 --> 00:14:09.670
by the bedside in this
case on Jesus' behalf.
306
00:14:09.670 --> 00:14:12.550
Jesus can't be there because Jesus is in Heaven.
307
00:14:12.550 --> 00:14:15.910
But when you pray, onahma, in the name of Jesus,
308
00:14:15.910 --> 00:14:18.130
it means you're standing in his position,
309
00:14:18.130 --> 00:14:20.320
you're standing in his behalf to do
310
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.600
what he would do if he were there.
311
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.610
And what would Jesus do if he were there?
312
00:14:24.610 --> 00:14:28.780
He would heal that person.
He would heal that person.
313
00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:31.660
And that's why James 5:15 continues to say, the prayer
314
00:14:31.660 --> 00:14:34.930
of faith shall save the sick
315
00:14:34.930 --> 00:14:37.240
and the Lord shall raise him up
316
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.020
and if he committed sins,
they shall be forgiven him.
317
00:14:41.020 --> 00:14:42.985
The word save here is the word
318
00:14:42.985 --> 00:14:46.420
sodzo so which many Christians know it means to save,
319
00:14:46.420 --> 00:14:49.570 line:15%
but in fact it is the old Greek word which means to heal.
320
00:14:49.570 --> 00:14:53.750
It conveys the idea of wholeness in every part of your life,
321
00:14:53.750 --> 00:14:56.120
which means this is not
just a simple touch,
322
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.130
this is a deep touch.
323
00:14:58.130 --> 00:14:59.450
It describes delivering
324
00:14:59.450 --> 00:15:02.810
and healing power that
results in wholeness.
325
00:15:02.810 --> 00:15:04.940
The very Greek word sodzo also means
326
00:15:04.940 --> 00:15:08.810
to deliver one from your enemies, to protect, to keep safe
327
00:15:08.810 --> 00:15:11.210
and to put you under protection.
328
00:15:11.210 --> 00:15:14.510
It is a major move of God
to totally deliver you
329
00:15:14.510 --> 00:15:18.650
or in this case, to deliver
the person that is sick.
330
00:15:18.650 --> 00:15:21.410
But guess what? Now the word
sick is a different word.
331
00:15:21.410 --> 00:15:23.300
Before it was the Greek word asteneo
332
00:15:23.300 --> 00:15:26.420 line:15%
now it is the Greek word, kamno, which refer us
333
00:15:26.420 --> 00:15:30.560
to a person who has long
suffered from this affliction
334
00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:35.560
and is extremely weakened from
the effects of this disease.
335
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.450
But when the prayer is prayed in faith
336
00:15:38.450 --> 00:15:40.400
and that person stands in the position
337
00:15:40.400 --> 00:15:41.810
and in the authority of Jesus
338
00:15:41.810 --> 00:15:45.380
and acts on behalf of Christ,
the Bible says the prayer
339
00:15:45.380 --> 00:15:48.410
of faith shall raise him up.
340
00:15:48.410 --> 00:15:53.410 line:15%
And in Greek it is the word egeiro, which means to raise,
341
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.510
but it is also from the
root where we get the word
342
00:15:56.510 --> 00:15:58.220
for resurrection.
343
00:15:58.220 --> 00:16:02.510
He'll be resurrected, he'll be
raised out of his situation,
344
00:16:02.510 --> 00:16:06.110
but it lets us know this
particular sick person is
345
00:16:06.110 --> 00:16:08.780
so gravely ill that he's close
346
00:16:08.780 --> 00:16:10.760
to death at the time of prayer.
347
00:16:10.760 --> 00:16:14.270
He nearly experiences a resurrection.
348
00:16:14.270 --> 00:16:16.940
And the RIV of James 5:14
349
00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:20.360
and 15 is as follows - Is there anyone
350
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:23.930
among you who's extremely
weakened due to illness?
351
00:16:23.930 --> 00:16:27.170
If there is such a person,
let him urgently call
352
00:16:27.170 --> 00:16:29.210
for the leaders of the
local assembly to come
353
00:16:29.210 --> 00:16:33.560
and passionately petition
God on his behalf.
354
00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:36.770
As the leaders pray, let them
also anoint the sick person
355
00:16:36.770 --> 00:16:39.110
with oil standing in the very place
356
00:16:39.110 --> 00:16:41.810
of Jesus acting on Jesus' behalf
357
00:16:41.810 --> 00:16:44.180
and using the authority of his name.
358
00:16:44.180 --> 00:16:48.020
The prayer offered in faith
will have definite results.
359
00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:50.390
For it will restore the
sick person's health
360
00:16:50.390 --> 00:16:55.370
as the Lord raises him up
from his bed of affliction.
361
00:16:55.370 --> 00:16:57.320
That is powerful.
362
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.930
Then in verse 15, he adds,
363
00:16:59.930 --> 00:17:04.910
and if you have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
364
00:17:04.910 --> 00:17:07.190
The word sins here is the plural version
365
00:17:07.190 --> 00:17:10.280
of the Greek word hamartia,
which means to miss the mark
366
00:17:10.280 --> 00:17:14.990 line:15%
to fall short, to repeatedly
fail to do something wrong,
367
00:17:14.990 --> 00:17:17.030
which implies in this particular verse,
368
00:17:17.030 --> 00:17:18.260
the person may be sick
369
00:17:18.260 --> 00:17:20.390
because of something they did themselves,
370
00:17:20.390 --> 00:17:22.790
but if they've done something
wrong that has opened the door
371
00:17:22.790 --> 00:17:25.550
to their affliction, they'll be forgiven.
372
00:17:25.550 --> 00:17:27.170
And the word forgiven is a translation
373
00:17:27.170 --> 00:17:29.420 line:15%
of the Greek word aphiemi,
which means to forgive
374
00:17:29.420 --> 00:17:33.110 line:15%
or to release, to set free,
to let go to discharge
375
00:17:33.110 --> 00:17:36.950
or to permanently set
away the prayer, faith
376
00:17:36.950 --> 00:17:40.700
and the confession of their
mistake together will also
377
00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:43.790
deliver them from whatever it is
378
00:17:43.790 --> 00:17:46.430
that made them sick in the first place.
379
00:17:46.430 --> 00:17:48.650
And then he says in verse 16:
380
00:17:48.650 --> 00:17:50.760
confess your false one to another.
381
00:17:50.760 --> 00:17:55.440 line:15%
The word confess, a
word that means to exclaim,
382
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.750
divulge or to blurt out.
383
00:17:57.750 --> 00:17:59.460
You know, sometimes it's difficult for you
384
00:17:59.460 --> 00:18:03.150
to confess your faults; you gotta
work up the nerve to do it.
385
00:18:03.150 --> 00:18:07.170
And this verse little means
blurt out, work up the nerve.
386
00:18:07.170 --> 00:18:10.020
Finally say, just get it out.
Get it outta your system.
387
00:18:10.020 --> 00:18:13.800
Blurt out, divulge your faults.
388
00:18:13.800 --> 00:18:17.070 line:15%
The word faults, again, a form of the Greek word hamartia.
389
00:18:17.070 --> 00:18:19.110 line:15%
You're falling short where
you've missed the mark,
390
00:18:19.110 --> 00:18:22.230
where you've habitually missed
the mark, confess it one
391
00:18:22.230 --> 00:18:24.900
to another and pray one for another.
392
00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:27.990
Here we find reciprocal action, praying for each other.
393
00:18:27.990 --> 00:18:30.270
We don't have to fear what
people are going to think.
394
00:18:30.270 --> 00:18:33.300
We need to pray for each other
so we can find deliverance
395
00:18:33.300 --> 00:18:34.890
and we can find freedom.
396
00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:35.970
And the verse says
397
00:18:35.970 --> 00:18:40.380
that you may be healed. The word
398
00:18:40.380 --> 00:18:42.450 line:15%
that, is the Greek word hoti: explicitly,
399
00:18:42.450 --> 00:18:45.270
for this reason, we're not just confessing things just
400
00:18:45.270 --> 00:18:46.650
to get it off of our heart.
401
00:18:46.650 --> 00:18:47.760
We have an objective
402
00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:49.800
and the objective is healing,
403
00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:52.620
which here is a Greek word iaomai.
404
00:18:52.620 --> 00:18:56.640
Wow! The word iaomai, means to cure.
405
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.640
It usually described
something that you were cured
406
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:01.470
of over a period of time,
407
00:19:01.470 --> 00:19:05.640
which means sometimes when
deliverance begins, it begins
408
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.370
and then it continues
over a period of time.
409
00:19:08.370 --> 00:19:10.410
But it begins when you finally admit
410
00:19:10.410 --> 00:19:13.020
or blurt out what's been wrong
411
00:19:13.020 --> 00:19:15.720
or how the door was opened: really is the act of contrition
412
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:17.580
or repentance.
413
00:19:17.580 --> 00:19:19.650
Then in James 5:16, it says,
414
00:19:19.650 --> 00:19:24.650
the effectual fervent
prayer of a righteous man.
415
00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:27.120 line:15%
Wow! The word effectual, the Greek word energeo
416
00:19:28.230 --> 00:19:30.570 line:15%
describes the energetic prayer.
417
00:19:30.570 --> 00:19:34.110
It depicts something that's
powerful, a force that's ready
418
00:19:34.110 --> 00:19:37.080
to be set into motion,
something that is active
419
00:19:37.080 --> 00:19:39.750
and filled with divine power.
420
00:19:39.750 --> 00:19:44.333 line:15%
And the word fervent prayer
hears the Greek word deisis.
421
00:19:44.333 --> 00:19:47.375
And the word deisis is a request
422
00:19:47.375 --> 00:19:49.091
for a concrete specific need.
423
00:19:49.091 --> 00:19:50.730
This is not general praying,
424
00:19:50.730 --> 00:19:53.550
this is hitting the target when you pray.
425
00:19:53.550 --> 00:19:58.550
It is a request for a physical,
tangible need to be met,
426
00:19:58.770 --> 00:20:00.960
a petition to meet a specific need
427
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.580
that the person is praying about
428
00:20:02.580 --> 00:20:05.340
or is facing in life, which means we're
429
00:20:05.340 --> 00:20:08.370
to be very specific when we pray.
430
00:20:08.370 --> 00:20:10.830
And the Bible says the
affectionate fervent prayer
431
00:20:10.830 --> 00:20:15.240
of a righteous man. The word righteous describes a person
432
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:16.680
that is justified.
433
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:20.160
You become justified the
moment you call Jesus the Lord
434
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:22.740
of your life and the blood
of Jesus cleanses you,
435
00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:24.810
you become cleansed.
436
00:20:24.810 --> 00:20:28.050
And the verse says, the
effectual fervent prayer
437
00:20:28.050 --> 00:20:30.840
of a righteous man of avails much.
438
00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:34.170
The Greek literally says, has
much power and much strength.
439
00:20:34.170 --> 00:20:38.550
And then it remarkably gives
the illustration of Elijah,
440
00:20:38.550 --> 00:20:42.330
which verse 17 says, was a
man subject to like passions
441
00:20:42.330 --> 00:20:43.710
as we are.
442
00:20:43.710 --> 00:20:47.080
The Greek literally says
he had similar struggles
443
00:20:47.080 --> 00:20:49.000
to the ones that we have.
444
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.790
Yet he had great power when he prayed.
445
00:20:51.790 --> 00:20:53.470
So don't think to yourself
446
00:20:53.470 --> 00:20:55.660
that your struggles eliminate you.
447
00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:59.320
Elijah was a man that had
life passions as we have,
448
00:20:59.320 --> 00:21:03.070
but he had great power when
he prayed and so do you.
449
00:21:03.070 --> 00:21:04.600
But you need to pray.
450
00:21:04.600 --> 00:21:06.760
You need to pray, release your faith
451
00:21:06.760 --> 00:21:09.940
and be specific when you
pray and God will move.
452
00:21:09.940 --> 00:21:13.000
And if you're so sick that
you can't get to church
453
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:15.460
to request prayer, then these verses say,
454
00:21:15.460 --> 00:21:18.190
request somebody come to
your house to pray for you.
455
00:21:18.190 --> 00:21:21.250
And if you're bound by
some failure in your life
456
00:21:21.250 --> 00:21:22.480
and you just stay bound
457
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:24.610
because you never confess
it, work up the nerve
458
00:21:24.610 --> 00:21:26.050
to blurt it out
459
00:21:26.050 --> 00:21:29.710
and it will begin the process
of deliverance in your life.
460
00:21:29.710 --> 00:21:33.160
That's what James says in James 5.
461
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.890
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
462
00:21:43.780 --> 00:21:45.100
Someone asked the question,
463
00:21:45.100 --> 00:21:47.800
how much should I pray in tongues?
464
00:21:47.800 --> 00:21:51.670
Well, let's go to 1 Corinthians 14:18
465
00:21:51.670 --> 00:21:55.000
to see what the apostle Paul
said about praying in tongues.
466
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.660
And in this verse he said,
I thank my God I speak
467
00:21:58.660 --> 00:22:01.270
what tongues more than ye all.
468
00:22:01.270 --> 00:22:03.520
Eddie was speaking to the
Corinthians who were known
469
00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:05.200
for speaking in tongues.
470
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.420
He said, I speak in tongues more than all
471
00:22:07.420 --> 00:22:09.400
of you put together,
472
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:13.480
but why did Paul speak
so much in other tongues?
473
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.930
And the answer is found in 1st Corinthians 14:
474
00:22:16.930 --> 00:22:18.820
4, where Paul writes - He
475
00:22:18.820 --> 00:22:22.480
that speaks in an unknown
tongue, edifies himself.
476
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.720
And that word edify is an
architectural term which means
477
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:28.930
to knock out the walls,
make the room bigger,
478
00:22:28.930 --> 00:22:30.970
increase your capacity.
479
00:22:30.970 --> 00:22:34.180
And Paul is literally saying
that when you pray in tongues,
480
00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:38.530
it increases your spiritual
capacity to receive more
481
00:22:38.530 --> 00:22:39.910
and more and more.
482
00:22:39.910 --> 00:22:42.820
And my friends, as long as
you are praying in tongues,
483
00:22:42.820 --> 00:22:46.630
you're gonna be increasing
your spiritual capacity.
484
00:22:46.630 --> 00:22:48.610
So it's not ever possible
485
00:22:48.610 --> 00:22:51.790
to pray in tongues too
much. Are you ready for
486
00:22:51.790 --> 00:22:53.530
what's coming next?
487
00:22:53.530 --> 00:22:56.980
The Bible warns of a
moment coming soon suddenly
488
00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:59.980
and without warning,
when Jesus will return
489
00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:02.260
to rapture his church. Right
490
00:23:02.260 --> 00:23:06.550
after that, the antichrist
will rise, deceive the nations
491
00:23:06.550 --> 00:23:09.190
and unleash unprecedented deception
492
00:23:09.190 --> 00:23:11.080
and destruction on the earth.
493
00:23:12.310 --> 00:23:15.430
In Rick Renner's powerful new book, The Rapture,
494
00:23:15.430 --> 00:23:20.380
The Antichrist and The Tribulation, An End Times Countdown
495
00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:22.900
and what happens next, you'll discover:
496
00:23:22.900 --> 00:23:27.160
what the Bible really says
about these prophetic events:
497
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:29.170
what signs to watch for
498
00:23:29.170 --> 00:23:33.310
and how to stay spiritually strong in the final days ahead.
499
00:23:33.310 --> 00:23:35.620

Hey, this is Rick Renner,
513
00:24:15.170 --> 00:24:18.380
and right now I'm standing
in the reception area
514
00:24:18.380 --> 00:24:21.260
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters
515
00:24:21.260 --> 00:24:24.380
and this building is just so wonderful.
516
00:24:24.380 --> 00:24:29.150
You know, the Bible tells us
in Proverbs 10:21, The lips
517
00:24:29.150 --> 00:24:32.120
of the Righteous feed many.
518
00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:34.730
And I know that is our assignment.
519
00:24:34.730 --> 00:24:38.930
God has called us to feed many
people the trusted teaching
520
00:24:38.930 --> 00:24:40.490
of the Bible.
521
00:24:40.490 --> 00:24:42.980
And together with you
and all of our partners,
522
00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:46.880
we really are taking the trusted teaching of the word of God
523
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:49.820
to the very ends of the earth.
524
00:24:49.820 --> 00:24:52.220
But this is the reception
part of the Tulsa building.
525
00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:53.990
And every day thousands
526
00:24:53.990 --> 00:24:57.890
of phone calls come into
this facility from people
527
00:24:57.890 --> 00:24:59.720
that are watching the program
528
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.090
and who are reaching out for prayer.
529
00:25:02.090 --> 00:25:06.200
Right now we've paid off
about 78% of this facility
530
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.540
and that is just wonderful,
531
00:25:08.540 --> 00:25:10.520
but now we need to knock
it out of the ballpark.
532
00:25:10.520 --> 00:25:12.050
We need to finish this
533
00:25:12.050 --> 00:25:14.990
because when we're finished
paying off this facility
534
00:25:14.990 --> 00:25:18.770
that frees up finances so
we can take the teaching
535
00:25:18.770 --> 00:25:22.460
of the Bible to more places
across the face of the earth
536
00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:25.280
where people are crying out for someone
537
00:25:25.280 --> 00:25:27.590
to feed them the word of God.
538
00:25:27.590 --> 00:25:30.320
And so today, if you're not already a part
539
00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:33.320
of our giving team to pay off
this facility, I'm asking you
540
00:25:33.320 --> 00:25:37.340
to join us as a part of our
Ministry Expansion Project
541
00:25:37.340 --> 00:25:41.480
to pay off this facility and
we can say, done, finished,
542
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:43.940
and give glory to God that my friends,
543
00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:45.560
we can only do it with your help.
544
00:25:45.560 --> 00:25:48.740
So thank you if you're
already part of the team,
545
00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:52.280
and if not yet part of the
team, please join us as a part
546
00:25:52.280 --> 00:25:54.440
of the Giving Team to pay off this facility
547
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:56.330
so we can be finished with it
548
00:25:56.330 --> 00:25:59.180
and use these funds to
take the gospel further
549
00:25:59.180 --> 00:26:01.550
to other places across the world.
550
00:26:09.890 --> 00:26:12.920
What are you supposed to do
when you know a loved one
551
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:16.160
or a friend that has really
veered from the faith
552
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:18.950
and they're messing up their life?
553
00:26:18.950 --> 00:26:20.690
Well, that's what we're
going to see tomorrow
554
00:26:20.690 --> 00:26:22.190
when we come back.
555
00:26:22.190 --> 00:26:24.200
But I'm offering you my whole series,
556
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.930
which is called Getting the Basics Right.
557
00:26:26.930 --> 00:26:29.990
The subtitle says, Biblical Guidelines for Money,
558
00:26:29.990 --> 00:26:32.150
Relationships, Prayer,
559
00:26:32.150 --> 00:26:36.320
and Dealing with Wayward Believers: Griends or Loved Ones.
560
00:26:36.320 --> 00:26:38.720
This series is so powerful and today
561
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:40.550
and tomorrow are the last days
562
00:26:40.550 --> 00:26:42.020
that we're offering it on the program.
563
00:26:42.020 --> 00:26:44.430
So order yours today and
remember that it comes
564
00:26:44.430 --> 00:26:47.880
with a study guide and we're also offering you my book today
565
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:49.980
and Tomorrow only called, Signs
566
00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:54.480
You'll see Just Before Jesus Comes. He's coming
567
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.270
and we need to know what
are the signs that alert us
568
00:26:57.270 --> 00:27:01.080
to the fact that he's just
about to come for the church.
569
00:27:01.080 --> 00:27:03.660
But let me pray for you. Father, thank you in the name
570
00:27:03.660 --> 00:27:06.630
of Jesus that we can gather
together and open our Bibles
571
00:27:06.630 --> 00:27:08.190
and see what you have to say
572
00:27:08.190 --> 00:27:11.130
to us on such important subjects.
573
00:27:11.130 --> 00:27:14.700
Thank you that we can get
the basics right in our life.
574
00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:18.450
Oh, how I thank you for James 5
575
00:27:18.450 --> 00:27:21.060
In Jesus' name, Amen.
576
00:27:21.060 --> 00:27:24.690
It's been great today, but
I look forward to tomorrow.
577
00:27:24.690 --> 00:27:27.780
But until then, please remember Ecclesiastes 8:4,
578
00:27:27.780 --> 00:27:31.860
"Where the word of a king is there is power."
579
00:27:31.860 --> 00:27:34.140
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
580
00:27:34.140 --> 00:27:38.490
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
581
00:27:38.490 --> 00:27:40.650
Jesus has to give you.
582
00:27:40.650 --> 00:27:44.760
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
583
00:27:44.760 --> 00:27:48.750
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
584
00:27:48.750 --> 00:27:51.720
and Lord. Wash away my sin
585
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:54.750
and make me completely new.
586
00:27:54.750 --> 00:27:58.560
I thank you that my sin is removed
587
00:27:58.560 --> 00:28:03.560
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
588
00:28:04.080 --> 00:28:08.070
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
589
00:28:08.070 --> 00:28:11.970
for the rest of my life. Amen.
590
00:28:11.970 --> 00:28:14.160
Thank you for joining
Rick Renner today.
