00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:04.020
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:07.978
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.978 --> 00:00:11.343
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.343 --> 00:00:14.880
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.860
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:20.130
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.570
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:26.130
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.620
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.190
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:36.090
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.670 --> 00:00:40.110
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:41.400
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:45.000
and I'm so thrilled that
today I can continue talking
15
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.320
to you about the spirit-filled life.
16
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.540
You know that phrase, the spirit-filled life,
17
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:55.500
it was such an enigma to me in
the earlier years of my life.
18
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:57.270
I really didn't understand
19
00:00:57.270 --> 00:01:00.570
that we can really have
a spirit-filled life
20
00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:04.950
until I was baptized in
the Holy Spirit in 1974.
21
00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:08.640
And that introduced me to
the spirit-filled life.
22
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.610
And if you've never been
baptized in the Holy Spirit,
23
00:01:11.610 --> 00:01:12.810
call the number on the screen
24
00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:15.480
because we're waiting to
pray with you right now.
25
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.330
Today can be the day that you are filled
26
00:01:18.330 --> 00:01:20.700
with the Holy Spirit and introduced
27
00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:22.230
to the spirit-filled life.
28
00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:25.590
But right now I'm teaching a
whole series which covers all
29
00:01:25.590 --> 00:01:29.010
kinds of aspects about the
ministry of the Holy Spirit
30
00:01:29.010 --> 00:01:30.540
and the spirit-filled life.
31
00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:33.540
And the series is called simply, The Spirit Filled Life.
32
00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:35.820
It is a 5-part series, comes
33
00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:37.080
with a wonderful study guide,
34
00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:40.260
and everything in this series
is also in the study guide
35
00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:42.150
because I want you to
have all these points
36
00:01:42.150 --> 00:01:44.850
and principles so you can
read them while you see
37
00:01:44.850 --> 00:01:48.630
or hear the series and really
get the teaching down deep
38
00:01:48.630 --> 00:01:50.160
inside you.
39
00:01:50.160 --> 00:01:53.220
And we're offering you
also right now my book,
40
00:01:53.220 --> 00:01:57.450
which is called, My Spirit Empowered Day.
41
00:01:57.450 --> 00:02:00.870
God wants every day of your
life to be spirit empowered.
42
00:02:00.870 --> 00:02:05.010
In fact, we're told in Ephesians 5, be filled
43
00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:06.570
with the Spirit. And
44
00:02:06.570 --> 00:02:09.330
the Greek actually means - be being filled.
45
00:02:09.330 --> 00:02:11.730
It means every moment,
if every day you are
46
00:02:11.730 --> 00:02:15.450
to be being filled with the Spirit. We begin
47
00:02:15.450 --> 00:02:17.670
with one initial infilling.
48
00:02:17.670 --> 00:02:19.110
But after that, my friend, we are
49
00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:22.530
to be being filled continually for the rest of our life.
50
00:02:22.530 --> 00:02:23.730
But be sure to get this book,
51
00:02:23.730 --> 00:02:26.520
which is called, My Spirit Empowered Day.
52
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:31.140
It is a 31 day devotional walking you into a
53
00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:33.570
spirit empowered life.
54
00:02:33.570 --> 00:02:37.350
And you can order all these
things by calling the number
55
00:02:37.350 --> 00:02:39.840
that is on the screen or by going online.
56
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.970
And when you go online,
you're gonna see there's
57
00:02:41.970 --> 00:02:44.550
so many things there that you can order
58
00:02:44.550 --> 00:02:46.530
that will feed your spirit.
59
00:02:46.530 --> 00:02:49.470
And when you reach out to
us, we wanna pray for you.
60
00:02:49.470 --> 00:02:50.700
We believe in prayer.
61
00:02:50.700 --> 00:02:52.500
We are people of prayer,
62
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.870
and we're waiting to
pray for you right now.
63
00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:58.290
And I wanna read a testimony
from someone that just wrote
64
00:02:58.290 --> 00:03:00.490
to me and it really blessed me.
65
00:03:00.490 --> 00:03:01.930
So listen to this.
66
00:03:02.890 --> 00:03:05.170
A member of our partner team said,
67
00:03:05.170 --> 00:03:08.440
"We just got an email from a dear woman
68
00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:11.470
who emailed us about her
husband who was taken
69
00:03:11.470 --> 00:03:15.250
to the hospital with a stroke
among other cardio symptoms.
70
00:03:15.250 --> 00:03:17.320
We reached out and prayed for him
71
00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:21.730
and she just let us know that
he's fine and back at work.
72
00:03:21.730 --> 00:03:26.730
Wow! That is an absolute miracle." And that is a miracle.
73
00:03:27.130 --> 00:03:31.630
And my friends, God is in the
business of working miracles.
74
00:03:31.630 --> 00:03:34.420
I would not tell you that
if it wasn't the truth.
75
00:03:34.420 --> 00:03:38.740
Jesus is the same yesterday,
today, and forever.
76
00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:41.050
What he did, it's what he is doing today.
77
00:03:41.050 --> 00:03:42.280
It's what he's gonna do tomorrow.
78
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:43.360
If he worked miracles,
79
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.760
then he's still working miracles today.
80
00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:48.010
And if you need a miracle of any kind,
81
00:03:48.010 --> 00:03:52.180
Jesus is really waiting for you to call out to him in faith
82
00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:54.730
so he can show up and
show off in your life.
83
00:03:54.730 --> 00:03:56.530
And that's what he wants to do.
84
00:03:56.530 --> 00:03:59.170
But if you'll reach out to
us by calling that number
85
00:03:59.170 --> 00:04:02.980
or sending us an email,
we want to pray with you.
86
00:04:02.980 --> 00:04:04.540
But reach for your Bible
87
00:04:04.540 --> 00:04:07.330
because we always use the
Bible in this program.
88
00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:10.840
And today we're gonna continue
talking about various aspects
89
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.900
about the Holy Spirit and
this spirit filled life.
90
00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:18.310
And today I'm going to show
you that you are a shrine
91
00:04:18.310 --> 00:04:19.720
for the Holy Spirit
92
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.960
and that the Holy Spirit
wants to guide you.
93
00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:24.370
We're gonna cover two things today.
94
00:04:24.370 --> 00:04:27.100
No.1: you are a shrine for the Holy Spirit.
95
00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:30.940
And No.2: the Holy Spirit wants to guide you.
96
00:04:30.940 --> 00:04:33.370
And if you have your Bible, please open it
97
00:04:33.370 --> 00:04:36.400
to 1 Corinthians 6:19.
98
00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:39.070
It's one of my favorite
verses in the New Testament
99
00:04:39.070 --> 00:04:41.200
where Paul writes to the Corinthians
100
00:04:41.200 --> 00:04:43.000
and he says - Know ye not.
101
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.130
And when you read this in the Greek tense,
102
00:04:45.130 --> 00:04:46.480
it's like, don't you understand?
103
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.400
Have you not gotten it yet?
104
00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:51.370
And the reason he was speaking
to them in this way is
105
00:04:51.370 --> 00:04:53.980
because they were living far below
106
00:04:53.980 --> 00:04:55.330
who they were supposed to be.
107
00:04:55.330 --> 00:04:57.700
They were indulging in sexual behavior,
108
00:04:57.700 --> 00:04:59.680
they were drinking and sinning.
109
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.620
And now Paul says, What, what, what - don't you get it?
110
00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:04.780
Don't you understand who's
on the inside of you?
111
00:05:04.780 --> 00:05:08.830
No you not, that your body is the temple
112
00:05:08.830 --> 00:05:12.730
of the Holy Ghost, which is in you.
113
00:05:12.730 --> 00:05:15.190
And the word temple is
the Greek word, naos.
114
00:05:16.150 --> 00:05:17.830
And this is very important.
115
00:05:17.830 --> 00:05:21.010
And I'm gonna read to you from my notes. This word naos,
116
00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:23.680
which here is translated as the word temple,
117
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.680
describes a temple or a
highly decorated shrine.
118
00:05:29.110 --> 00:05:33.490
It is the image of vaulted
ceilings, marble, granite,
119
00:05:33.490 --> 00:05:38.320
gold, silver, and highly
decorated ornamentation.
120
00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:41.680
It is the most sacred
innermost part of a temple,
121
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.950
and it is the very word used in the Old Testament Greek
122
00:05:44.950 --> 00:05:48.100
Septuagint to describe the holy of Holies,
123
00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:50.260
which was just magnificent,
124
00:05:50.260 --> 00:05:54.790
and it is where God dwell, his Shekinah glory, in the temple
125
00:05:54.790 --> 00:05:56.590
during the Old Testament.
126
00:05:56.590 --> 00:05:59.150
Now, growing up as a Protestant,
127
00:05:59.150 --> 00:06:01.850
we had rather simple church buildings.
128
00:06:01.850 --> 00:06:04.640
We didn't even understand
the concept of a shrine.
129
00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:06.920
If we wanted to see something
that looked like a temple
130
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.320
or a shrine, we had to
go to a Catholic church
131
00:06:09.320 --> 00:06:12.380
where there was a lot of
vaulted ceilings and marble
132
00:06:12.380 --> 00:06:14.390
and beautiful ornamentation.
133
00:06:14.390 --> 00:06:16.760
But today I live in Russia
134
00:06:16.760 --> 00:06:19.430
and in fact, this studio
is in Moscow, Russia.
135
00:06:19.430 --> 00:06:22.160
Did you know that? I'm coming to you from Moscow.
136
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:24.860
And all over Russia,
137
00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:29.120
there are historic churches
that are orthodox churches.
138
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.930
And when you walk into those orthodox churches, ay...yi,
139
00:06:32.930 --> 00:06:34.160
it is breathtaking.
140
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.810
I'll give you two examples.
141
00:06:35.810 --> 00:06:39.272
In Moscow, there's a great church called Khram Khrista,
142
00:06:40.130 --> 00:06:43.760
and when you walk in that Khram, which means temple,
143
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:45.800
it actually means the temple of the savior.
144
00:06:47.210 --> 00:06:51.200
You just lose your breath
because it is so magnificent.
145
00:06:51.200 --> 00:06:54.950
Columns that are magnificent; floors that are made of,
146
00:06:54.950 --> 00:06:58.130
not just out of granite, but
all kinds of precious stones.
147
00:06:58.130 --> 00:07:02.630
And that facility is covered with silver and gold and bronze
148
00:07:02.630 --> 00:07:07.520
and icons and such beautiful,
beautiful ornamentation.
149
00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:10.220
It just takes your breath away.
150
00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:14.870
It is magnificent on the inside. Then in the city of St.
151
00:07:14.870 --> 00:07:17.240
Petersburg, we have another cathedral,
152
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.330
which is called Isaakiyevskiy Sobor, which is St.
153
00:07:20.330 --> 00:07:23.180 line:15%
Isaac's Cathedral. And it is amazing.
154
00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:25.640
And for 80 years it was the central church
155
00:07:25.640 --> 00:07:27.620
for the Orthodox church in Russia.
156
00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:28.940
And when you walk in St.
157
00:07:28.940 --> 00:07:33.590
Isaac's Cathedral, you just
have to see it to believe it.
158
00:07:33.590 --> 00:07:35.570
It is so magnificent.
159
00:07:35.570 --> 00:07:39.170
Figures that are covered in
gold, columns that are made
160
00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:40.520
of lapis
161
00:07:40.520 --> 00:07:45.350
and malachite, the most
amazing stained glass,
162
00:07:45.350 --> 00:07:48.440
all kinds of beautiful
ornamentation and paintings.
163
00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:53.060
And the ceiling is just magnificent.
164
00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:54.560
It is amazing.
165
00:07:55.460 --> 00:07:57.110
Well, when Paul wrote
166
00:07:57.110 --> 00:08:00.050
and said, your body is the
temple of the Holy Spirit,
167
00:08:00.050 --> 00:08:03.080
that word naos described a place like that.
168
00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:05.990
And especially in the 1st Century when Paul was writing,
169
00:08:05.990 --> 00:08:08.180
his readers could really understand this
170
00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:11.120
because the 1st Century was a pagan world.
171
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.120
And the pagan world was
covered with temples, shrines
172
00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:18.440
to a whole pantheon of gods.
173
00:08:18.440 --> 00:08:21.320
For example, if you went
to the city of Ephesus,
174
00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:24.500
there was the great temple of Artemis, one
175
00:08:24.500 --> 00:08:27.170
of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
176
00:08:27.170 --> 00:08:31.100
Spectacular, not just
spectacular on the outside,
177
00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:33.710
but when you went on the
inside, it was breathtaking.
178
00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:36.830
There was the magnificent
statue of Artemis,
179
00:08:36.830 --> 00:08:39.440
and in front of Artemis
there was a reflective pool
180
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.260
and the interior was covered
with all kinds of stones
181
00:08:42.260 --> 00:08:44.810
and marbles and curtains and drap.
182
00:08:44.810 --> 00:08:48.380
Or if you went to Athens
there on the Parthenon,
183
00:08:48.380 --> 00:08:52.220
you could go to the great
temple dedicated to Athena.
184
00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:55.590
And my goodness, the
exterior was magnificent
185
00:08:55.590 --> 00:08:57.090
with reliefs and sculptures.
186
00:08:57.090 --> 00:08:59.040
The interior was amazing,
187
00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:03.930
but those kinds of temples
were all over the pagan world
188
00:09:03.930 --> 00:09:07.050
in the 1st Century when Paul wrote this verse.
189
00:09:07.050 --> 00:09:09.450
The Greek word naos, would describe all
190
00:09:09.450 --> 00:09:11.760
of those temples in the pagan world.
191
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.910
And so now when Paul is
speaking to the Corinthians,
192
00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:18.270
and by the way, the city of Corinth had many temples like I
193
00:09:18.270 --> 00:09:19.710
am describing - many.
194
00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:23.910
So now when Paul says, your body is the naos,
195
00:09:23.910 --> 00:09:27.540
it is the temple of the Holy
Spirit, he is telling us
196
00:09:27.540 --> 00:09:31.320
that we are a walking cathedral.
197
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.150
That's who we are.
198
00:09:33.150 --> 00:09:34.680
Now, when you look in the mirror,
199
00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:37.200
you may not see yourself as a cathedral.
200
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.280
In fact, you may see blemishes, you may see defects,
201
00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:43.680
you may see everything that
you wish that you could change
202
00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:44.880
with plastic surgery
203
00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:47.490
or by losing weight; you might not like your hair,
204
00:09:47.490 --> 00:09:49.110
you might not like your wrinkles.
205
00:09:49.110 --> 00:09:51.090
You may see all your defects.
206
00:09:51.090 --> 00:09:55.350
But beyond the exterior, on the inside,
207
00:09:55.350 --> 00:09:59.970
God has made a place in you so magnificent
208
00:09:59.970 --> 00:10:02.850
that in Ephesians 2:10, it says,
209
00:10:02.850 --> 00:10:05.760
We are the workmanship of Christ Jesus.
210
00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:09.240
God put forth all his creative powers
211
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.020
to create within us a space
212
00:10:13.020 --> 00:10:16.200
so magnificent that Paul calls it naos,
213
00:10:17.130 --> 00:10:20.490
within us there is a shrine.
214
00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:23.100
We are walking cathedrals.
215
00:10:23.100 --> 00:10:25.260
And on the interior of
us, we have all kinds
216
00:10:25.260 --> 00:10:27.570
of rich ornamentations.
217
00:10:27.570 --> 00:10:30.900
You say, Well what kind of ornamentations? We have the gifts
218
00:10:30.900 --> 00:10:33.750
of the spirit on the inside
of us; we've got the fruit
219
00:10:33.750 --> 00:10:36.180
of the spirit on the inside
of us; we've got the character
220
00:10:36.180 --> 00:10:39.120
of Christ on the inside of
us; we've got the holiness
221
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.430
of the Holy Spirit on the inside of us.
222
00:10:41.430 --> 00:10:45.600
And in fact, you could say that 'X' marks the spot.
223
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.160
You know, when I was growing up, we used
224
00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:51.090
to always play like we were pirates looking for a treasure.
225
00:10:51.090 --> 00:10:53.670
And 'X' always marked the spot.
226
00:10:53.670 --> 00:10:55.770
Well, when you come to 2 Corinthians 4:
227
00:10:55.770 --> 00:11:00.060
7, Paul says, We have this treasure in earth
228
00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:03.840
and vessels - which means 'X' marks the spot.
229
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.450
It's right here, the 'X' is right here.
230
00:11:06.450 --> 00:11:09.450
And the treasure that I'm
talking about is the presence
231
00:11:09.450 --> 00:11:13.320
of the Holy Spirit and
the Holy Spirit is in us;
232
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:17.580
but to dwell in us, for
God to come inside us,
233
00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:22.410
a space had to be created
inside us that was worthy
234
00:11:22.410 --> 00:11:24.960
of God's dwelling presence.
235
00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:27.840
And my friend, I want to tell you,
236
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.220
God does not live in a hut made of mud.
237
00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:34.350
He doesn't live in a shack.
238
00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:36.720
God lives in the most glorious, glorious
239
00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:40.560
environment in heaven and in you
240
00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:43.290
because in you, inside you,
241
00:11:43.290 --> 00:11:46.170
you are a walking cathedral.
242
00:11:46.170 --> 00:11:49.410
If you could see what you
looked like on the inside
243
00:11:49.410 --> 00:11:52.990
where the spirit of God lives
in you, you would be baffled
244
00:11:52.990 --> 00:11:54.340
beyond speech.
245
00:11:54.340 --> 00:11:57.400
It would be the ultimate boost to anyone
246
00:11:57.400 --> 00:11:59.500
who has a bad self-image
247
00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:03.370
because inside you, you are highly ornamented.
248
00:12:03.370 --> 00:12:07.840
In fact, you are so embellished on the inside that God
249
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.200
by his spirit said, I like that.
250
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.070
I'm gonna move in there.
That is just amazing.
251
00:12:15.070 --> 00:12:18.550
And Paul says that we need to understand: know ye not -
252
00:12:18.550 --> 00:12:19.840
have you not gotten it yet?
253
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:21.670
Have you not yet comprehended
254
00:12:21.670 --> 00:12:25.480
that your body is the temple
255
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:30.480
of the Holy Ghost - that is who lives in us.
256
00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:35.110
And that's what God did
in us to create a place
257
00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:37.120
that the Holy Spirit
was willing to live in.
258
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:38.590
You are a new creature.
259
00:12:38.590 --> 00:12:42.970
Everything in your interior is impeccable,
260
00:12:42.970 --> 00:12:47.970
impeccable, and moving into you,
261
00:12:48.250 --> 00:12:52.330
the Holy Spirit in you wants to guide you.
262
00:12:52.330 --> 00:12:57.100
He wants to lead you. You
have within you a guide.
263
00:12:57.100 --> 00:13:01.390
And Jesus referred to this in John 16:
264
00:13:01.390 --> 00:13:06.070
13, where he said, Howbeit, when he, the spirit
265
00:13:06.070 --> 00:13:09.160
of truth is comes - talking about the Holy Spirit.
266
00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:10.930
I covered this in a previous program
267
00:13:10.930 --> 00:13:13.360
that Jesus called him the spirit of truth.
268
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.160
And if you read John 14, 15
269
00:13:15.160 --> 00:13:19.720
& 16, he called him the spirit of truth 3-times trying
270
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.270
to let us understand that we
can trust the Holy Spirit.
271
00:13:22.270 --> 00:13:24.640
He will never mislead you,
he will never misguide you.
272
00:13:24.640 --> 00:13:26.230
He's the spirit of truth.
273
00:13:26.230 --> 00:13:28.660
Whatever he says to
you, you can bank on it.
274
00:13:28.660 --> 00:13:30.730
You can believe it to be true.
275
00:13:30.730 --> 00:13:32.980
And now Jesus says, how
be it when He, the spirit
276
00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:37.210
of truth has come, he will guide you
277
00:13:37.210 --> 00:13:41.230
into all the truth.
278
00:13:41.230 --> 00:13:43.513
He will guide you.
279
00:13:43.513 --> 00:13:44.500
Well, the word guide
280
00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:48.400
that is used in this verse
is the Greek word hodegos.
281
00:13:48.400 --> 00:13:51.580 line:15%
It is a derivative of the word hodos.
282
00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:54.520
The word hodus describes a road.
283
00:13:54.520 --> 00:13:57.730
But when the word hodos
becomes the word hodegos,
284
00:13:57.730 --> 00:13:59.410
it's no longer just a road,
285
00:13:59.410 --> 00:14:02.860
but it's a tour guide
who knows all the roads.
286
00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:05.980
It's one who's ready to
lead you on an excursion.
287
00:14:05.980 --> 00:14:08.950
He knows all the roads,
he knows all the sites,
288
00:14:08.950 --> 00:14:11.500
he knows all the information
about all the sites.
289
00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:13.840
He knows what you see,
what you shouldn't see.
290
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.370
He knows where the toilets are.
291
00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:17.080
He knows the best route to take
292
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.590
to give you the most
pleasurable experience.
293
00:14:20.590 --> 00:14:24.010
All of that is in this word - guide.
294
00:14:24.010 --> 00:14:26.140
So let me take you on a trip.
295
00:14:26.140 --> 00:14:30.940
Let's say that we're gonna
go to ancient Ephesus.
296
00:14:30.940 --> 00:14:34.330
Well, it would be hard
to find a better guide
297
00:14:34.330 --> 00:14:36.820
for ancient Ephesus than Rick Renner
298
00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:39.190
because I've been there so many times
299
00:14:39.190 --> 00:14:42.340
and I have a great big
book about it called A
300
00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:43.360
Light in Darkness.
301
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.130
If you don't have a light
in darkness, you need
302
00:14:45.130 --> 00:14:47.290
to order A Light in Darkness.
303
00:14:47.290 --> 00:14:49.600
But when you come to ancient Ephesus,
304
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.980
the harbor was magnificent.
305
00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:53.360
The harbor was manmade.
306
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.040
It could have accommodated more than a
307
00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:56.690
hundred ships at a time.
308
00:14:56.690 --> 00:14:58.310
And when you got off your ship, you walked
309
00:14:58.310 --> 00:15:01.490
through a beautiful
harbor gate onto a long,
310
00:15:01.490 --> 00:15:03.860
long marble road, which led right
311
00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:05.660
to the very center of the city.
312
00:15:05.660 --> 00:15:07.730
And as you walked on the marble road,
313
00:15:07.730 --> 00:15:09.560
you passed the bathhouse.
314
00:15:09.560 --> 00:15:12.200
You passed the place where
the slaves were sold.
315
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:16.610
You walked right past all the
beautiful roofs and porticoes
316
00:15:16.610 --> 00:15:17.840
and statues
317
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.390
and places where people
were still in little idols
318
00:15:20.390 --> 00:15:21.770
of the goddess Artemis
319
00:15:21.770 --> 00:15:25.010
because Artemis was
the goddess of Ephesus.
320
00:15:25.010 --> 00:15:27.140
And finally, you passed
one of the markets,
321
00:15:27.140 --> 00:15:28.880
you passed another gymnasium.
322
00:15:28.880 --> 00:15:31.910
And when you came to the end
of the road there in front
323
00:15:31.910 --> 00:15:36.200
of you was the magnificent
theater of Ephesus.
324
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.030
And if you turned left,
325
00:15:38.030 --> 00:15:41.060
then you would take a road
which would lead you to
326
00:15:41.060 --> 00:15:42.200
the temple of Artemis.
327
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:45.470
But if you took a right, you
passed the temple of Nero,
328
00:15:45.470 --> 00:15:47.420
you passed the marketplace,
329
00:15:47.420 --> 00:15:51.110
and finally you came to the
exterior of the library,
330
00:15:51.110 --> 00:15:53.270
which was magnificent.
331
00:15:53.270 --> 00:15:54.650
And then if you turn left
332
00:15:54.650 --> 00:15:56.150
and walk up the hill,
333
00:15:56.150 --> 00:15:59.780
you walk a very ancient road called Curetes.
334
00:15:59.780 --> 00:16:02.810
And up that hill, you
pass the bath houses,
335
00:16:02.810 --> 00:16:05.240
you pass all kinds of
magnificent buildings,
336
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.820
including an ancient hospital
337
00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:10.340
and the ruins of the ancient temple of Domitian.
338
00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:12.890
And finally, you came into
the upper part of the city
339
00:16:12.890 --> 00:16:15.740
where you saw the upper marketplace and the Bouleuterion
340
00:16:15.740 --> 00:16:18.830
and the place where all the rich people did their business.
341
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:21.800
How in the world do I know all that?
342
00:16:22.670 --> 00:16:24.050
Well, I've been there a few times
343
00:16:25.160 --> 00:16:27.770
and I've written a book on
this subject, really maybe one
344
00:16:27.770 --> 00:16:29.270
of the best books ever written on the city
345
00:16:29.270 --> 00:16:31.910
of Ephesus in the Christian market.
346
00:16:31.910 --> 00:16:35.900
I have been there. So I know all of the sites.
347
00:16:35.900 --> 00:16:38.390
I really know what's interesting.
348
00:16:38.390 --> 00:16:40.160
I know what you don't care to hear about.
349
00:16:41.150 --> 00:16:44.630
I know the best way to go. I
know where the toilets are.
350
00:16:44.630 --> 00:16:45.980
And that's very important
351
00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:47.390
because there's only one place to go
352
00:16:47.390 --> 00:16:48.740
to the bathroom and the whole site.
353
00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:50.420
And if you miss it, you're
gonna be in trouble.
354
00:16:51.650 --> 00:16:55.520
If you wanna have a good experience when you go to Ephesus,
355
00:16:55.520 --> 00:16:57.800
you need to have a good guide.
356
00:16:57.800 --> 00:16:59.990
Now you can do it by yourself,
357
00:16:59.990 --> 00:17:04.280
but if you do it by yourself,
you're gonna get confused.
358
00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:05.450
You're gonna look at something and say,
359
00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:06.680
I wonder what that is.
360
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:07.820
Wow, that's very interesting.
361
00:17:07.820 --> 00:17:10.970
I wish I had somebody to
tell me what that was.
362
00:17:10.970 --> 00:17:12.800
And then when you're
finished looking at that,
363
00:17:12.800 --> 00:17:14.870
you're gonna say, well,
where do we go from here?
364
00:17:14.870 --> 00:17:16.700
You're not even gonna know where to go.
365
00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:18.860
You can meander here and meander there
366
00:17:18.860 --> 00:17:20.480
and walk all over the place.
367
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.500
And by the time you get to
the exit, I can even tell you
368
00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:26.600
what condition you're gonna be in.
369
00:17:26.600 --> 00:17:29.630
You're gonna be hot,
you're gonna be exhausted,
370
00:17:30.710 --> 00:17:32.210
your feet are gonna hurt.
371
00:17:32.210 --> 00:17:34.970
Probably your back is gonna hurt
372
00:17:34.970 --> 00:17:38.090
because it's hard surfaces the whole way.
373
00:17:38.090 --> 00:17:40.670
By doing it on your own,
374
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.210
your experience is not
gonna be very enjoyable.
375
00:17:44.210 --> 00:17:46.880
Now you're gonna exit at the right place,
376
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.100
but the way you exit
determines whether you did it
377
00:17:50.100 --> 00:17:54.420
by yourself or whether you had a guide.
378
00:17:55.470 --> 00:17:59.640
Now, take all of that into
the context of this verse.
379
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.680
And Jesus says, howbeit,
when He, the spirit
380
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:03.870
of truth is come - he's the spirit of truth:
381
00:18:03.870 --> 00:18:05.430
he knows it all -
382
00:18:05.430 --> 00:18:08.490
he will guide you, the Greek word hodegos, a form
383
00:18:08.490 --> 00:18:10.710
of the word hodos, which means road.
384
00:18:10.710 --> 00:18:13.590
But when it becomes hodegos, it's a tour guide -
385
00:18:13.590 --> 00:18:17.460
he will guide you into all the truth.
386
00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:18.480
And let me tell you something,
387
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.390
we all come into Christ at the same place
388
00:18:21.390 --> 00:18:23.400
and we all exit in the same way
389
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:25.320
and we're all going to Heaven.
390
00:18:25.320 --> 00:18:27.180
But what happens between the beginning
391
00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:32.180
and the end depends on
whether we did it by ourself
392
00:18:32.610 --> 00:18:36.360
or whether we let the Holy
Spirit be our tour guide.
393
00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:39.780
If we want to, we can do it by ourself.
394
00:18:39.780 --> 00:18:41.910
We can figure it out by ourself.
395
00:18:41.910 --> 00:18:43.920
We can make mistakes by ourself.
396
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:45.900
We can wonder this way and wander this way.
397
00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:48.630
We can try this and take another shot in the dark over here
398
00:18:48.630 --> 00:18:51.690
and just wear ourselves out.
399
00:18:51.690 --> 00:18:53.580
And ultimately we're gonna go to heaven.
400
00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:58.050
But what kind of a Christian life you had
401
00:18:58.050 --> 00:18:59.910
will depend on if you did it by yourself
402
00:18:59.910 --> 00:19:02.430
or whether you had a guide.
403
00:19:02.430 --> 00:19:06.180
And here, Jesus says, as a part of the spirit-filled life,
404
00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:10.710
the Holy Spirit has been sent
to be a tour guide for us.
405
00:19:10.710 --> 00:19:13.530
And let me tell you, the Holy Spirit knows
406
00:19:13.530 --> 00:19:15.240
everything in front of you.
407
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.360
He does. He knows what's gonna happen today.
408
00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:20.220
The Holy Spirit knows what's
gonna happen tomorrow.
409
00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:23.430
He knows what's gonna happen
next year. He knows it all.
410
00:19:23.430 --> 00:19:26.550
The Holy Spirit knows the mind of God.
411
00:19:26.550 --> 00:19:28.470
He knows the will of God for you.
412
00:19:28.470 --> 00:19:32.100
Everything you're trying to
figure out, he already knows.
413
00:19:32.100 --> 00:19:34.590
You're trying to figure out what job to take, who to marry,
414
00:19:34.590 --> 00:19:36.120
where to go, where to go on vacation,
415
00:19:36.120 --> 00:19:37.200
what to do with your money.
416
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.580
He knows the answer to all of those questions.
417
00:19:43.110 --> 00:19:46.710
So you can try to do it by yourself without his help.
418
00:19:46.710 --> 00:19:51.630
Or you can figuratively say - Holy Spirit, take me
419
00:19:51.630 --> 00:19:54.480
by the hand and I want you to guide me.
420
00:19:56.130 --> 00:19:59.460
And if you will have ears to hear,
421
00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:01.620
and if you'll pray in the
Spirit, which is a part
422
00:20:01.620 --> 00:20:05.580
of being baptized in the
Holy Spirit, you'll become
423
00:20:05.580 --> 00:20:07.620
so spiritually sensitive
424
00:20:07.620 --> 00:20:11.250
that you will hear the Holy
Spirit tell you where to go;
425
00:20:11.250 --> 00:20:15.420
he'll tell you when to pause.
He'll tell you when to move.
426
00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:17.160
The Holy Spirit will
tell you when to speak.
427
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.930
He'll tell you when to be quiet.
428
00:20:18.930 --> 00:20:21.750
And your Christian life will become a
429
00:20:21.750 --> 00:20:23.910
pleasurable experience.
430
00:20:23.910 --> 00:20:26.010
And when life is over,
you're gonna look back
431
00:20:26.010 --> 00:20:30.060
and say, what a wonderful experience.
432
00:20:30.060 --> 00:20:33.060
And it wasn't because you
were so smart, but it's
433
00:20:33.060 --> 00:20:35.220
because you had such a good leader
434
00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:37.470
who guided you along the way
435
00:20:37.470 --> 00:20:40.620
and that belongs to you as part
436
00:20:40.620 --> 00:20:43.050
of the spirit-filled life.
437
00:20:43.050 --> 00:20:45.870
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
438
00:20:54.490 --> 00:20:57.550
This is Rick Renner and somebody has asked the question -
439
00:20:57.550 --> 00:21:00.850
Why is it so important to speak the word of God
440
00:21:00.850 --> 00:21:03.880
or confess the word of God out loud?
441
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.000
And the answer is found in
Mark 11:23 where Jesus said -
442
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.040
For verily I say unto you
443
00:21:09.040 --> 00:21:12.190
that whosoever shall
say unto this mountain.
444
00:21:12.190 --> 00:21:14.080
Notice it says, shall say,
445
00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:16.150
it doesn't say shall think unto this mountain -
446
00:21:16.150 --> 00:21:19.390
you've gotta say it. Whosoever
shall say unto this mountain,
447
00:21:19.390 --> 00:21:21.820
be thou be removed and be
thou cast into the sea
448
00:21:21.820 --> 00:21:23.530
and shall not doubt in his heart,
449
00:21:23.530 --> 00:21:26.530
but shall believe those
things which he sayeth
450
00:21:26.530 --> 00:21:27.910
shall come to pass,
451
00:21:27.910 --> 00:21:32.620
he shall have whatsoever he sayeth.
452
00:21:32.620 --> 00:21:36.940
And here in this verse, Jesus uses the word 'say' 3-times.
453
00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:41.080
And he's teaching us that
our voice has authority.
454
00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:43.480
And when we speak the word of God
455
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:47.320
and we declare our confession
of faith, it has the power
456
00:21:47.320 --> 00:21:50.830
to move a mountain or a
problem out of the way.
457
00:21:50.830 --> 00:21:52.210
It's not enough to pray about it
458
00:21:52.210 --> 00:21:54.010
or to think about it. You've gotta
459
00:21:54.010 --> 00:21:55.690
speak to it.
460
00:21:55.690 --> 00:21:58.600

484
00:23:27.205 --> 00:23:28.360
Hey, this is Rick Renner
485
00:23:28.360 --> 00:23:30.850
and I'm standing inside the Partner Care
486
00:23:30.850 --> 00:23:32.380
Department of our ministry.
487
00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:34.480
And this is where the action takes place.
488
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:36.460
Thousands of phone calls every day
489
00:23:36.460 --> 00:23:39.520
and every month come into
this place from people
490
00:23:39.520 --> 00:23:40.750
reaching out to us.
491
00:23:40.750 --> 00:23:43.480
And this is my precious mother who is in Heaven,
492
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:45.890
and she established this part of the ministry.
493
00:23:45.890 --> 00:23:48.350
But these are the principles we are dedicated
494
00:23:48.350 --> 00:23:49.183
to:
495
00:23:49.183 --> 00:23:52.266
To feed the entire flock God has brought to this ministry.
496
00:23:52.266 --> 00:23:54.560
To strengthen those who are dis-eased in any area
497
00:23:54.560 --> 00:23:56.810
of their lives. To bring healing to those in need
498
00:23:56.810 --> 00:23:59.510
of any type of healing. To bind up those
499
00:23:59.510 --> 00:24:01.790
who are broken in any area of their lives.
500
00:24:01.790 --> 00:24:03.770
To bring back those that have been driven away.
501
00:24:03.770 --> 00:24:06.200
To reach the lost, and to take the gospel
502
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.450
and the trusted teaching of the Bible to the ends
503
00:24:08.450 --> 00:24:11.540
of the earth. To shepherd the flock that God has caused
504
00:24:11.540 --> 00:24:13.550
to hear the voice of this ministry
505
00:24:13.550 --> 00:24:16.190
and to help them grow in
their relationship with Christ
506
00:24:16.190 --> 00:24:19.070
and become powerful Bible-based believers equipped
507
00:24:19.070 --> 00:24:20.570
for these last days.
508
00:24:20.570 --> 00:24:21.860
And to thank and minister
509
00:24:21.860 --> 00:24:25.010
to partners whose sacrificial
gifts have enabled this
510
00:24:25.010 --> 00:24:27.920
ministry to fulfill its
call around the world.
511
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:31.250
And we are very committed
to these principles.
512
00:24:31.250 --> 00:24:33.350
And if you're a partner,
you know we're very
513
00:24:33.350 --> 00:24:35.120
serious about that.
514
00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:38.480
But hey, right now we're trying to pay off this facility
515
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.810
and those who are part of the Ministry Expansion Project are
516
00:24:41.810 --> 00:24:43.160
helping us to do that.
517
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.620
And if you're a part already, thank you.
518
00:24:45.620 --> 00:24:48.680
But if you're not part of that Giving Team yet, we need you.
519
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:50.210
So would you please become a part
520
00:24:50.210 --> 00:24:52.790
of the Ministry Expansion Giving Team
521
00:24:52.790 --> 00:24:55.070
so we can pay off this facility
522
00:24:55.070 --> 00:24:59.390
and then keep taking the gospel to the ends of the Earth
523
00:24:59.390 --> 00:25:02.240
where people really are
crying out for someone
524
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:05.510
to bring them trusted
teaching of the Bible.
525
00:25:05.510 --> 00:25:08.150
And that's us - that's our call -
526
00:25:08.150 --> 00:25:10.820
and my friends together, we can do this.
527
00:25:10.820 --> 00:25:13.700
And I want to say thank you so much.
528
00:25:22.595 --> 00:25:23.660
Well, I don't know about you,
529
00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:26.570
but I really enjoyed today's program,
530
00:25:26.570 --> 00:25:31.190
just reflecting on the fact
that our bodies are the temple
531
00:25:31.190 --> 00:25:32.780
of the Holy Spirit.
532
00:25:32.780 --> 00:25:35.780
Think about what God has done inside us.
533
00:25:35.780 --> 00:25:38.420
We are walking cathedrals
534
00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:41.960
and the Holy Spirit in
us wants to be our guide,
535
00:25:42.830 --> 00:25:44.720
which means if we will listen to him,
536
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:46.340
we're gonna have a great experience.
537
00:25:46.340 --> 00:25:49.070
If we don't listen to him,
we're gonna have to try
538
00:25:49.070 --> 00:25:50.615
to figure everything out on our own.
539
00:25:50.615 --> 00:25:52.160
And that's gonna be difficult.
540
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:53.990
But the Holy Spirit knows the will of God.
541
00:25:53.990 --> 00:25:55.760
He knows everything in front of us.
542
00:25:55.760 --> 00:25:58.520
He knows what we should
do, what we should not do.
543
00:25:58.520 --> 00:26:01.190
And if we will allow him to guide us,
544
00:26:02.330 --> 00:26:04.340
we're gonna have a great experience
545
00:26:04.340 --> 00:26:07.760
and a wonderful spirit filled life.
546
00:26:07.760 --> 00:26:11.390
And that's what God has waiting for you.
547
00:26:11.390 --> 00:26:15.110
So just say, Holy Spirit, be my guide, lead me
548
00:26:15.110 --> 00:26:19.430
and help me to have ears to hear what you have to say to me.
549
00:26:19.430 --> 00:26:21.050
But hey, please order the whole series,
550
00:26:21.050 --> 00:26:23.570
which is called, The Spirit-Filled Life: comes
551
00:26:23.570 --> 00:26:25.250
with a wonderful study guide
552
00:26:25.250 --> 00:26:26.480
and be sure to order the book,
553
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:28.670
which is called, My Spirit Empowered Day.
554
00:26:28.670 --> 00:26:31.880
It's a 31 day devotional about how
555
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:35.270
to have a spirit empowered life.
556
00:26:35.270 --> 00:26:37.160
It'll make a big difference for you.
557
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.620
And if you need prayer, reach out to us.
558
00:26:39.620 --> 00:26:40.910
You can order these things
559
00:26:40.910 --> 00:26:44.220
or reach out for prayer by calling that number on the screen
560
00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:45.960
or by going online.
561
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:47.550
But I wanna pray for you right now.
562
00:26:47.550 --> 00:26:49.350
Put your hand on your heart.
563
00:26:49.350 --> 00:26:53.070
Father, we ask you to open
our eyes to help us understand
564
00:26:53.070 --> 00:26:55.260
who lives inside us
565
00:26:55.260 --> 00:26:58.290
and that you have made us walking cathedrals.
566
00:26:58.290 --> 00:26:59.970
Change our self-image.
567
00:26:59.970 --> 00:27:02.850
Help us to really see who we are.
568
00:27:02.850 --> 00:27:04.650
And Holy Spirit, we give you our hand
569
00:27:04.650 --> 00:27:06.300
and we give you our heart
570
00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:09.000
and we say - please guide us.
571
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:11.670
You've been sent to
lead us and to guide us.
572
00:27:11.670 --> 00:27:16.440
Help us to have ears to hear
you speak so we can be led.
573
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:21.440
In Jesus' name - Amen. I'll see you in the next program.
574
00:27:21.540 --> 00:27:24.900
But remember, Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
575
00:27:24.900 --> 00:27:28.680
of the king is, there is power."
576
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:30.960
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
577
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:35.340
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
578
00:27:35.340 --> 00:27:37.500
Jesus has to give you.
579
00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:41.580
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
580
00:27:41.580 --> 00:27:45.600
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
581
00:27:45.600 --> 00:27:48.540
and Lord. Wash away my sin
582
00:27:48.540 --> 00:27:51.600
and make me completely new.
583
00:27:51.600 --> 00:27:55.440
I thank you that my sin is removed
584
00:27:55.440 --> 00:28:00.440
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
585
00:28:00.930 --> 00:28:04.920
I faithfully promise that I will serve you as my Lord
586
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:06.600
for the rest of my life.
587
00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:08.500
Amen.
588
00:28:10.410 --> 00:28:12.600
