00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:04.380
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:08.460
of the God called partners of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:11.670
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.670 --> 00:00:15.240
and your mind, where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.220
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:20.490
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.490 --> 00:00:21.930
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:26.490
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:29.280
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.580
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:36.420
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:39.630
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:40.800
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:44.070
and I've been sitting right
here at my desk in my studio
15
00:00:44.070 --> 00:00:45.480
waiting for you.
16
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:47.250
And today we're gonna
return to our subject,
17
00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:50.610
which is, Arm Yourself for the Fight.
18
00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:54.000
It is a 5-part series, which comes with a study guide.
19
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.750
It is really, really practical
about dealing the things
20
00:00:57.750 --> 00:01:01.410
that are in your life that
are trying to overcome you.
21
00:01:01.410 --> 00:01:02.790
And this is really gonna be good today,
22
00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:04.860
but you can order these
things by going online
23
00:01:04.860 --> 00:01:05.940
or by giving us a call.
24
00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:09.810
And we're offering you now the
Renner Interpretive Version
25
00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:11.130
of 1st & 2nd Peter.
26
00:01:11.130 --> 00:01:14.430
We already released James and
Jude, but now we've got 1st
27
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:17.160
& 2nd Peter and my friend,
I want you to have this,
28
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:18.510
I told you earlier this week
29
00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:21.480
that I found Denise crying one morning
30
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.400
with the RIV opened in front of her
31
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.500
and I said, Denise, why are you crying?
32
00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:28.230
She said, Rick, this book is so deeply touching me.
33
00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:31.620
She said, the information in
these footnotes have the power
34
00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:33.480
to change my life.
35
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.220
Wow, that blessed me so much
36
00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:37.620
because I really worked hard on this
37
00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:38.820
and that's why I want you to have it.
38
00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:43.230
I really believe it has the
power to change your life.
39
00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:45.840
But you can also order
this by going online
40
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.010
or by giving us a call.
41
00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:49.350
And I wanna say thank
you for being a partner.
42
00:01:49.350 --> 00:01:50.880
You are helping me
43
00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:53.400
and my team take the teaching of the Bible
44
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:54.930
to the ends of the earth.
45
00:01:54.930 --> 00:01:57.840
Thank you, thank you, thank
you, precious partner.
46
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.540
And if you're not a
partner yet, I invite you
47
00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:04.140
to become a part of our Renner Partner Family.
48
00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:06.570
We really mean it when we call people partners
49
00:02:06.570 --> 00:02:10.260
because together we are touching lives all over the world.
50
00:02:10.260 --> 00:02:13.080
But you can become a partner by going online
51
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.580
or by giving us a call.
52
00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:16.890
And please, when you reach out to us,
53
00:02:16.890 --> 00:02:18.210
let us know how to pray for you.
54
00:02:18.210 --> 00:02:20.880
We're waiting to pray for you right now.
55
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:24.870
Just call that number or send
us an email and we'll pray
56
00:02:24.870 --> 00:02:27.060
and we will really pray ferociously
57
00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:29.280
for you when we hear from you.
58
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.070
But I want you to open your Bible to 1 Peter
59
00:02:32.070 --> 00:02:33.720
4.
60
00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:34.980
Now we're doing this series,
61
00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:38.670
which is called, Arming Yourself for the Fight.
62
00:02:38.670 --> 00:02:40.230
But today we're gonna go to 1 Peter
63
00:02:40.230 --> 00:02:41.640
4:1.
64
00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:45.240
And I want to remind you,
Peter was writing to believers
65
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:46.590
that we're really struggling.
66
00:02:46.590 --> 00:02:49.830
They were in the fire of persecution,
67
00:02:49.830 --> 00:02:52.650
but he doesn't want them
to hijack themselves
68
00:02:52.650 --> 00:02:55.860
by doing other foolish things
that will take them down.
69
00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:57.180
They've got enough to deal
70
00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:00.370
with without making silly
decisions that are going
71
00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:02.800
to negatively affect their faith.
72
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.420
And that's also true of us.
73
00:03:04.420 --> 00:03:05.920
We're all dealing with the devil.
74
00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:07.780
We're dealing with real assaults.
75
00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:09.550
We don't need to make our battles worse
76
00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:11.230
by doing stupid stuff.
77
00:03:11.230 --> 00:03:14.410
And that's basically what
Peter says when he tells us
78
00:03:14.410 --> 00:03:16.510
to arm ourself for the fight.
79
00:03:16.510 --> 00:03:18.340
But today we're gonna begin in 1 Peter 4:
80
00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:19.930
1.
81
00:03:19.930 --> 00:03:21.520
And as always, I'm gonna begin
82
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.290
by reading the King James Version
83
00:03:23.290 --> 00:03:25.330
and then we're gonna go to the RIV.
84
00:03:25.330 --> 00:03:28.660
And the King James Version says this - are you ready,
85
00:03:28.660 --> 00:03:33.220
here we go - For as much then as Christ has suffered
86
00:03:33.220 --> 00:03:36.640
for us in the flesh, arm yourself
87
00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:40.330
likewise with the same mind, for he
88
00:03:40.330 --> 00:03:43.240
that hath suffered in the flesh
89
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.810
hath ceased from sin.
90
00:03:46.810 --> 00:03:49.300
Now that is the King James Version.
91
00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:52.750
The RIV says it like this.
92
00:03:52.750 --> 00:03:55.660
So in the same way Christ
went through great struggles
93
00:03:55.660 --> 00:03:58.090
and suffering in the flesh,
94
00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:02.560
you also must have the
same exact frame of mind
95
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.240
that Christ had
96
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.620
and do all you can to
fully mentally arm yourself
97
00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:12.400
with all the weaponry you
need to prevail in battle.
98
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.310
You also need to know
that the one who's been
99
00:04:15.310 --> 00:04:16.502
through great struggles
100
00:04:16.502 --> 00:04:20.680
and suffering will want no
more participation with sin.
101
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.270
He'll say, I've had enough of
that and I want no more of it.
102
00:04:25.270 --> 00:04:28.450
And as far as he is
concerned, he'll be done
103
00:04:28.450 --> 00:04:29.725
with personal failure
104
00:04:29.725 --> 00:04:34.630
and sin, that is missing the mark of what is right and wrong
105
00:04:34.630 --> 00:04:37.300
or intentionally or unintentionally doing
106
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:40.090
what is wrong and sinful.
107
00:04:40.090 --> 00:04:41.860
You see my brother Rick,
that is really different
108
00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:42.970
from the King James Version.
109
00:04:42.970 --> 00:04:46.060
Well, I'm really pulling into this interpretation
110
00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:49.510
all the flavors and all the
nuances of the Greek text,
111
00:04:49.510 --> 00:04:50.890
and I want to explain to you why it is
112
00:04:50.890 --> 00:04:51.910
interpreted in this way.
113
00:04:51.910 --> 00:04:54.280
But let's go back to
the King James Version
114
00:04:54.280 --> 00:04:57.550
in 1 Peter 4:1, which says - For
115
00:04:57.550 --> 00:05:02.140
as much then as Christ has
suffered for us in the flesh.
116
00:05:02.140 --> 00:05:06.910
The RIV says - So in the same way Christ went
117
00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:09.280
through great struggles and suffering.
118
00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:13.990
And footnote No.725 explains - The words "went
119
00:05:13.990 --> 00:05:15.190
through great struggles
120
00:05:15.190 --> 00:05:18.070
and suffering" are from a form of the Greek word pascho
121
00:05:18.070 --> 00:05:19.930
which simply means I suffer.
122
00:05:19.930 --> 00:05:24.930
And this is referring really to Jesus making the decision
123
00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:26.230
to go to the cross.
124
00:05:26.230 --> 00:05:27.850
Jesus didn't just wake up one day
125
00:05:27.850 --> 00:05:30.550
and say, oh, today's the day I've been
126
00:05:30.550 --> 00:05:31.570
looking forward to this.
127
00:05:31.570 --> 00:05:33.880
Today's the day I'm gonna be crucified.
128
00:05:33.880 --> 00:05:36.640
No, he found himself in the Garden
129
00:05:36.640 --> 00:05:39.130
of Gethsemane on his knees
130
00:05:39.130 --> 00:05:42.370
where the Bible says the
pressure was so intense
131
00:05:42.370 --> 00:05:45.040
that he was rolling this
way, rolling that way,
132
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.710
writhing on the ground almost in pain
133
00:05:47.710 --> 00:05:51.160
by this unbearable mental
pressure that he was going
134
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.300
to be flogged, he was going
to be scoured, he was going
135
00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:56.620
to be miserably treated.
136
00:05:56.620 --> 00:05:58.310
He was going to go to the cross,
137
00:05:58.310 --> 00:06:00.080
then spend three days in hell.
138
00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:02.210
As Jesus faced all of that,
139
00:06:02.210 --> 00:06:05.540
the pressure was so intense that we are told by Dr.
140
00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:08.750
Luke in Luke 22, that he sweat great drops
141
00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:10.940
of blood. My friends,
142
00:06:10.940 --> 00:06:13.820
That is what really happened to him.
143
00:06:13.820 --> 00:06:15.890
And there we find a medical expression
144
00:06:17.090 --> 00:06:18.380
which describes a person,
145
00:06:18.380 --> 00:06:21.230
it's a real medical term which describes a person
146
00:06:21.230 --> 00:06:25.970
that is under such great mental stress that the mind begins
147
00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:27.800
to send signals to the entire body,
148
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.330
that it is under pressure
149
00:06:29.330 --> 00:06:32.630
and the body begins to physically respond
150
00:06:32.630 --> 00:06:34.760
as if it's under real pressure.
151
00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:40.400
And the perceived pressure is
so intense that the top layer
152
00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:42.440
of skin separates from the 2nd layer.
153
00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:47.440
It forms a vacuum which fills with blood.
154
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.420
And because the sufferer is
already sweating from the
155
00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:53.480
intense pressure, when that
vacuum becomes so filled
156
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.700
with blood, the blood then begins to ooze
157
00:06:55.700 --> 00:06:56.990
through the pores of the skin.
158
00:06:56.990 --> 00:06:58.610
It mixes together with the sweat
159
00:06:58.610 --> 00:07:00.890
and it becomes a bloody kind of sweat.
160
00:07:00.890 --> 00:07:02.510
Jesus was literally sweating
161
00:07:02.510 --> 00:07:04.250
blood in the Garden of Gethsemane
162
00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:05.840
and we find in Matthew, Mark,
163
00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:07.670
and Luke that he prayed 3-times,
164
00:07:07.670 --> 00:07:11.990
Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass for me.
165
00:07:11.990 --> 00:07:14.990
Nevertheless, not my will - will.
166
00:07:14.990 --> 00:07:16.880
There was the fight, it was in his will that
167
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:21.110
thy will be done. A 2nd time
168
00:07:21.110 --> 00:07:23.510
he prayed it: a 3rd time he prayed it - not my will,
169
00:07:23.510 --> 00:07:26.510
not my will, not my will,
but thy will be done.
170
00:07:26.510 --> 00:07:29.870
Jesus was dealing with
himself in the mental realm.
171
00:07:29.870 --> 00:07:32.420
That's where the battle was.
172
00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:34.580
And honestly, that's where
Jesus won the battle.
173
00:07:35.450 --> 00:07:36.560
He won the battle in the Garden
174
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.190
of Gethsemane when he made
a decision to embrace this,
175
00:07:40.190 --> 00:07:43.280
to embrace this, he suffered in the flesh
176
00:07:44.270 --> 00:07:46.550
and then he could go to the
cross and faced the cross
177
00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:49.940
because he made a decision in his mind.
178
00:07:49.940 --> 00:07:54.740
And my friends, most of your
battles are one in your mind.
179
00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:56.990
You need to put space between yourself
180
00:07:56.990 --> 00:07:58.790
and things that tempt you.
181
00:07:58.790 --> 00:08:00.560
You need to put space between yourself
182
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.140
and people who cause you troubles.
183
00:08:03.140 --> 00:08:04.370
If you can't overcome them
184
00:08:04.370 --> 00:08:05.750
and get along with them, then you
185
00:08:05.750 --> 00:08:06.800
need to stay away from them.
186
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.450
Just use common sense.
187
00:08:09.290 --> 00:08:11.900
But you have to make the
decision in your mind.
188
00:08:11.900 --> 00:08:13.970
I'm gonna arm myself.
189
00:08:13.970 --> 00:08:17.030
I'm gonna refrain from things
that are not good for me.
190
00:08:17.030 --> 00:08:19.040
And this verse says in the RIV -
191
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.060
So in the same way Christ
went through great struggles
192
00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:24.890
and suffering in the flesh -
193
00:08:24.890 --> 00:08:27.290
it's talking about him in
the Garden of Gethsemane.
194
00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:32.290
You also must have the
same exact frame of mind.
195
00:08:32.780 --> 00:08:37.280
And the footnote in No.728 says -
196
00:08:37.280 --> 00:08:39.080
The words - exact frame
197
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.070
of min - really mean the exact mind,
198
00:08:43.070 --> 00:08:44.780
the exact same mentality.
199
00:08:44.780 --> 00:08:48.260
And it refers to the frame of
thinking that Christ possessed
200
00:08:48.260 --> 00:08:52.250
to victoriously overcome
everything in life
201
00:08:52.250 --> 00:08:53.390
during his ministry
202
00:08:53.390 --> 00:08:56.370
and at the time of his passion.
203
00:08:56.370 --> 00:08:58.770
You gotta make a decision to overcome.
204
00:08:58.770 --> 00:09:01.470
Overcoming begins with a decision
205
00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:07.340
and it says you must have
the same exact frame of mind
206
00:09:07.350 --> 00:09:09.210
that Christ had
207
00:09:09.210 --> 00:09:11.940
and do all you can
208
00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:15.330
to fully, mentally, arm yourself
209
00:09:15.330 --> 00:09:17.790
with all the weaponry you need
210
00:09:17.790 --> 00:09:20.730
to prevail in battle.
211
00:09:21.690 --> 00:09:26.310
And footnote No.729 says - The words
212
00:09:26.310 --> 00:09:30.990
"fully, mentally arm yourself with all the weaponry you need
213
00:09:30.990 --> 00:09:33.750
to prevail in battle" are from a form
214
00:09:33.750 --> 00:09:37.020
of a Greek word which is derived from hoplon,
215
00:09:37.020 --> 00:09:41.370
which was used to depict the full weaponry
216
00:09:41.370 --> 00:09:44.040
of a soldier that he wore in battle
217
00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:46.590
and that was necessary to prevail in battle.
218
00:09:46.590 --> 00:09:49.080
And as Peter used this word in this verse,
219
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.710
he was urging his readers
and us to mentally
220
00:09:52.710 --> 00:09:56.070
and spiritually arm ourself
with a weaponry needed
221
00:09:56.070 --> 00:09:57.990
to prevail in battle.
222
00:09:57.990 --> 00:10:00.540
God has constructed
223
00:10:00.540 --> 00:10:04.890
and made available overwhelming, superior weaponry
224
00:10:04.890 --> 00:10:07.560
for now for your benefit,
225
00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:11.820
but you're the one that must
mentally decide to put it on
226
00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:13.050
and engage with it.
227
00:10:14.850 --> 00:10:16.590
Now, I've taught for years and years
228
00:10:16.590 --> 00:10:18.210
and years about spiritual weapon.
229
00:10:18.210 --> 00:10:20.010
I have an entire book
called Dress to Kill.
230
00:10:20.010 --> 00:10:21.660
If you don't have it, you should get it.
231
00:10:21.660 --> 00:10:23.430
It's about the full weaponry that God has
232
00:10:23.430 --> 00:10:25.440
provided for you as a believer.
233
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.960
If you go to our website store, you're gonna see all kinds
234
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.990
of series about spiritual weaponry and spiritual warfare.
235
00:10:30.990 --> 00:10:33.390
You need to avail yourself to all of that material.
236
00:10:34.260 --> 00:10:38.700
But here it says, we have to
fully mentally arm ourselves
237
00:10:38.700 --> 00:10:41.340
with all the weaponry we
need to prevail in battle.
238
00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:44.580
And the truth is, God has given us so much weaponry
239
00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:46.770
that if we fail, it's
240
00:10:46.770 --> 00:10:50.430
because we did not use the weaponry that God has given us.
241
00:10:50.430 --> 00:10:54.060
He has given us everything
we need to prevail in battle.
242
00:10:54.060 --> 00:10:57.750
He really has. You're not a victim, you're a victor.
243
00:10:57.750 --> 00:10:59.910
You're fully armed. You've
got everything that you need.
244
00:10:59.910 --> 00:11:01.560
And that is what this verse says.
245
00:11:01.560 --> 00:11:05.610
So if we stopped right here, the RIV already says
246
00:11:05.610 --> 00:11:09.000
so in the same way Christ went through great struggles
247
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.580
and suffering in the flesh,
248
00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:15.600
you also must have the
same exact frame of mind
249
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.890
that Christ had
250
00:11:16.890 --> 00:11:20.160
and do all you can to
fully mentally arm yourself
251
00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:23.130
with all the weaponry you
need to prevail in battle.
252
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.920
So just as Jesus won the fight
in the Garden of Gethsemane
253
00:11:28.920 --> 00:11:31.500
and mentally made a decision
he was gonna go to the cross,
254
00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:34.140
he was going to embrace the challenge just
255
00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:36.720
as he embraced the power
of God to go to the cross.
256
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.030
And we know that he did
257
00:11:39.030 --> 00:11:40.920
because we're told in Hebrews 9
258
00:11:40.920 --> 00:11:43.320
that he was lifted up
through the eternal spirit.
259
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.710
Jesus was crucified in the
power of the Holy Spirit.
260
00:11:46.710 --> 00:11:48.690
And my friends, everything
that was available
261
00:11:48.690 --> 00:11:51.210
to Jesus is also available to you.
262
00:11:51.210 --> 00:11:54.490
But the King James Version
263
00:11:54.490 --> 00:11:58.600
of 1 Peter 4:1 continues to say - For he
264
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.350
that has suffered in the flesh, has ceased from sin.
265
00:12:02.350 --> 00:12:06.430
Let me read it again; For He that has suffered in the flesh,
266
00:12:06.430 --> 00:12:08.710
has ceased from sin.
267
00:12:08.710 --> 00:12:12.670
That's very succinct. It's
very short to the point.
268
00:12:12.670 --> 00:12:15.130
But in the Greek text,
there's a lot of nuances
269
00:12:15.130 --> 00:12:17.530
and a lot of flavor that
needs to be explained.
270
00:12:17.530 --> 00:12:20.980
And that is why the RIV says it like this -
271
00:12:20.980 --> 00:12:24.490
You also need to know
that the one who has been
272
00:12:24.490 --> 00:12:25.720
through great struggles
273
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:30.610
and suffering will want no
more participation with sin.
274
00:12:30.610 --> 00:12:34.630
He'll say, I've had enough of
that and I want no more of it.
275
00:12:34.630 --> 00:12:38.200
And as far as he's
concerned, he'll be done
276
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:39.580
with personal failure
277
00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:44.020
and sin: that is missing the mark of what is right and wrong
278
00:12:44.020 --> 00:12:46.630
or intentionally or unintentionally doing
279
00:12:46.630 --> 00:12:49.000
what is wrong and sinful.
280
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.370
I can give you a personal illustration.
281
00:12:51.370 --> 00:12:55.420
Several years ago, I lost a hundred pounds.
282
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.960
By the way, I had to arm myself to do that.
283
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.900
You don't lose a hundred
pounds by accident.
284
00:13:01.900 --> 00:13:05.680
I have no judgment for anybody
that struggles with weight
285
00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:07.390
because I have been there in my life.
286
00:13:07.390 --> 00:13:09.820
I have been there and I have done that.
287
00:13:09.820 --> 00:13:13.540
But when that battle was finished, I said, never again.
288
00:13:13.540 --> 00:13:15.370
I'm never gonna go back there ever again.
289
00:13:15.370 --> 00:13:19.030
I'm done with that. Already
been there, already done that.
290
00:13:20.290 --> 00:13:24.310
And now Peter says, for he that has suffered in the flesh,
291
00:13:24.310 --> 00:13:25.960
has ceased from sin.
292
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.660
And the RIV says - You also need to know
293
00:13:28.660 --> 00:13:30.850
that the one who's been
through great struggles
294
00:13:30.850 --> 00:13:34.900
and suffering will want no
more participation with sin.
295
00:13:34.900 --> 00:13:38.980
He'll say, I've had enough of
that and I want no more of it.
296
00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:41.830
And as far as he's
concerned, he'll be done
297
00:13:41.830 --> 00:13:44.530
with personal failure and sin.
298
00:13:45.670 --> 00:13:48.430
Now, that is a remarkable interpretation;
299
00:13:48.430 --> 00:13:51.310
but why is it interpreted that way?
300
00:13:51.310 --> 00:13:54.820
Well, footnote No.732 - did you hear that?
301
00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:58.270
Footnote no.732, there's so much material in this book.
302
00:13:58.270 --> 00:14:02.890
It says - The words "no more participation with sin,
303
00:14:02.890 --> 00:14:06.910
enough of that, no more of it he'll be done"
304
00:14:06.910 --> 00:14:09.790
are interpreted from a form of the word pauo.
305
00:14:09.790 --> 00:14:13.570
Wow! A word that means to cease, to finish
306
00:14:13.570 --> 00:14:15.280
or to refrain or to stop.
307
00:14:15.280 --> 00:14:18.580
And it is where we get the word, pause. Here
308
00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:23.530
it describes a permanent pause - a permanent pause.
309
00:14:23.530 --> 00:14:27.010
Peter uses this word, pauo, to state
310
00:14:27.010 --> 00:14:29.980
that when a Christian has
done all that is needed
311
00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:34.000
to overcome struggles in the
flesh, it removes his desire
312
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.460
to willfully engage in sinful behavior.
313
00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:38.800
He wants to permanently stop
314
00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:41.860
what his flesh has been dictating.
315
00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:46.750
And he desires to be done with it - done
316
00:14:46.750 --> 00:14:48.760
with it. My friends,
317
00:14:48.760 --> 00:14:50.740
when you're done with it, you are done with it.
318
00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:52.640
You don't ever wanna repeat that again.
319
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.210
So the RIV says - You need to also know
320
00:14:56.210 --> 00:14:58.220
that the one who's been
through great struggles
321
00:14:58.220 --> 00:15:03.050
and suffering will want no
more participation with sin.
322
00:15:03.050 --> 00:15:07.100
He'll say, I've had enough of
that and I want no more of it.
323
00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:11.000
And as far as he's
concerned, he'll be done.
324
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.670
And then it goes on to say - with personal failure
325
00:15:13.670 --> 00:15:18.410
and sin, that is missing
the mark of what is right
326
00:15:18.410 --> 00:15:21.080
and wrong or intentionally
327
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:25.400
or unintentionally doing
what is wrong and sinful.
328
00:15:25.400 --> 00:15:30.320
And footnote No.733 explains - The words
329
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.628
"missing the mark of what is right and wrong
330
00:15:33.628 --> 00:15:35.478
or intentionally
331
00:15:35.478 --> 00:15:37.520
or unintentionally doing what is wrong
332
00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:40.100
and sinful are interpreted from a form
333
00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:41.240
of the Greek word hamartia,
334
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.560
a word usually translated, sin, in the New Testament.
335
00:15:45.560 --> 00:15:49.910
But at pictures, one who regularly misses the mark of
336
00:15:49.910 --> 00:15:53.210
what is right and wrong.
337
00:15:53.210 --> 00:15:54.500
Because this missing
338
00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:57.950
of the mark may at times be unintentional,
339
00:15:57.950 --> 00:16:01.220
it is sometimes translated as the word mistake,
340
00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:03.710
but it primarily cares the idea of sin
341
00:16:03.710 --> 00:16:06.350
or wrongdoing, whether one intentionally
342
00:16:06.350 --> 00:16:09.620
or unintentionally does what is wrong.
343
00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:11.660
And again, in the New Testament,
344
00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:13.760
this word principally refers to one
345
00:16:13.760 --> 00:16:18.740
who errors from a correct course: one who misses the mark of
346
00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:23.740
what is expected and who is thereby guilty of sin.
347
00:16:23.780 --> 00:16:28.340
All of that is in this phrase which is translated -
348
00:16:28.340 --> 00:16:30.800
As far as he's concerned, he'll be done
349
00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:31.850
with personal failure
350
00:16:31.850 --> 00:16:35.930
and sin: that is missing the mark of what is right and wrong
351
00:16:35.930 --> 00:16:38.330
or intentionally or unintentionally doing
352
00:16:38.330 --> 00:16:40.580
what is wrong and sinful.
353
00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:44.750
For example: maybe you have regularly said something you
354
00:16:44.750 --> 00:16:46.820
shouldn't have said; and after you've said it - ugh -
355
00:16:47.780 --> 00:16:49.430
you've just wished you could have grabbed those
356
00:16:49.430 --> 00:16:50.510
words and pulled them back.
357
00:16:50.510 --> 00:16:52.880
But it's too late - they have been released.
358
00:16:52.880 --> 00:16:56.360
When you have done enough
damage with your words,
359
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:57.770
you finally come to a place
360
00:16:57.770 --> 00:17:00.590
when you're done with that; you no longer want
361
00:17:00.590 --> 00:17:03.110
to speak those words that are so hurtful
362
00:17:03.110 --> 00:17:06.710
and that end up causing so
many regretful situations.
363
00:17:06.710 --> 00:17:07.940
You're just done with it.
364
00:17:09.050 --> 00:17:12.950
And likewise, when you've had
so many things you've tried
365
00:17:12.950 --> 00:17:16.070
to overcome, you finally come to a point
366
00:17:16.070 --> 00:17:17.300
where you're just done with it.
367
00:17:17.300 --> 00:17:20.060
You don't wanna overeat anymore - you're done with it.
368
00:17:20.060 --> 00:17:23.330
You don't wanna fight anymore - you're just done with it.
369
00:17:23.330 --> 00:17:24.980
You don't want to get into strife anymore.
370
00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:28.040
There's no benefit. It just wears you out. It exhausts you.
371
00:17:28.040 --> 00:17:31.670
It is bad for everybody and you just get done with it.
372
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.240
And my friends, it is really the truth that you finally come
373
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.490
to a place and your spirits will walk when you're just done
374
00:17:37.490 --> 00:17:39.440
with certain things - you're just done with it.
375
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.850
And the King James Version
again says - For as much then
376
00:17:43.850 --> 00:17:48.080
as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourself
377
00:17:48.080 --> 00:17:50.670
likewise with the same mind, for he
378
00:17:50.670 --> 00:17:53.160
that has suffered in the
flesh, has ceased from sin.
379
00:17:54.060 --> 00:17:56.970
But the RIV says - So in the same way Christ went
380
00:17:56.970 --> 00:17:58.020
through great struggles
381
00:17:58.020 --> 00:18:02.160
and suffering in the flesh, you also must
382
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:05.700
have the same exact frame
of mime that Christ had.
383
00:18:06.930 --> 00:18:08.850
You gotta decide that
you're gonna overcome.
384
00:18:08.850 --> 00:18:10.350
You gotta decide you're gonna deal
385
00:18:10.350 --> 00:18:11.610
with what's in front of you.
386
00:18:11.610 --> 00:18:14.040
You gotta decide, you gotta decide it in your mind
387
00:18:14.040 --> 00:18:19.040
and do all you can to
fully mentally arm yourself
388
00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:22.140
with all the weaponry you
need to prevail in battle.
389
00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:24.120
And by the way, if you don't
know how to use the weaponry
390
00:18:24.120 --> 00:18:27.090
that's available to you,
then learn how to use it.
391
00:18:27.090 --> 00:18:29.730
Order my products or talk
to somebody at church.
392
00:18:29.730 --> 00:18:31.950
Talk to somebody who can help you know how
393
00:18:31.950 --> 00:18:33.510
to arm yourself spiritually
394
00:18:33.510 --> 00:18:35.040
to prevail in battle - my friends -
395
00:18:35.040 --> 00:18:36.270
you can prevail.
396
00:18:37.170 --> 00:18:39.960
You also need to know
that the one who's been
397
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:41.040
through great struggles
398
00:18:41.040 --> 00:18:45.510
and suffering will want no
more participation with sin.
399
00:18:45.510 --> 00:18:50.510
He'll say, I've had enough of
that. I want no more of it.
400
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.940
And as far as he's
concerned, he'll be done
401
00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:55.260
with personal failure
402
00:18:55.260 --> 00:18:59.760
and sin: that is missing the mark of what is right and wrong
403
00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:02.760
or intentionally or unintentionally doing
404
00:19:02.760 --> 00:19:04.500
what is wrong and sinful.
405
00:19:05.490 --> 00:19:06.630
Have you ever come to the place
406
00:19:06.630 --> 00:19:08.190
where you said, I'm done with that.
407
00:19:08.190 --> 00:19:09.300
I don't wanna do that again.
408
00:19:09.300 --> 00:19:11.850
I never wanna repeat that again. You're just done with it.
409
00:19:12.690 --> 00:19:14.610
Then you come to verse 2.
410
00:19:14.610 --> 00:19:19.200
And verse says - that he no longer should live the rest
411
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.710
of his time and the
flesh to the lusts of men
412
00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:26.310
or just lust in general, but
rather to the will of God.
413
00:19:29.100 --> 00:19:30.960
Maybe you've overspent
414
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.800
and now you're in debt. You've got all this stuff
415
00:19:34.800 --> 00:19:36.000
you're making payments on.
416
00:19:37.080 --> 00:19:39.540
You say, I'm so done with
this. I'm so done with this.
417
00:19:39.540 --> 00:19:41.940
I don't wanna live the
rest of my life living
418
00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:43.110
so irresponsibly.
419
00:19:43.110 --> 00:19:45.360
Or maybe you've just put on weight and weight and weight
420
00:19:45.360 --> 00:19:48.090
and weight and weight and you're just done with that.
421
00:19:48.090 --> 00:19:49.980
You're just done with that.
422
00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:52.800
Or maybe you're just tired of
strife in your relationships.
423
00:19:52.800 --> 00:19:54.420
You eventually come to
a place where you say,
424
00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:56.460
I don't wanna live the
rest of my life like this.
425
00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:58.320
And you've gotta come to that place.
426
00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:59.820
You've gotta make a decision -
427
00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:02.100
I'm not gonna live like this for the rest of my life.
428
00:20:02.100 --> 00:20:04.410
Instead, I'm gonna live to the will of God.
429
00:20:04.410 --> 00:20:06.060
I'm gonna live to the will of God.
430
00:20:06.060 --> 00:20:09.300
And the RIV gives it to us like this.
431
00:20:09.300 --> 00:20:11.220
And as a consequence,
432
00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:15.840
such a person will no
longer be satisfied to live,
433
00:20:15.840 --> 00:20:19.710
to fulfill or gratify his
human cravings instincts
434
00:20:19.710 --> 00:20:21.450
and desires.
435
00:20:21.450 --> 00:20:22.980
But instead of living
436
00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:25.890
to fulfill his human cravings instincts
437
00:20:25.890 --> 00:20:29.040
and desires, he will desire
438
00:20:29.040 --> 00:20:32.340
to fulfill the desires, plans and purposes
439
00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:35.010
and will of God for the remainder of time
440
00:20:35.010 --> 00:20:38.460
he has to live in the flesh.
441
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:43.440
But you've gotta come to a point where you make a decision.
442
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:45.450
You've gotta make a decision -
443
00:20:45.450 --> 00:20:46.950
I'm not gonna live this way anymore.
444
00:20:47.950 --> 00:20:49.600
God has given me everything I need.
445
00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:51.910
I am armed for the fight. I've got it all.
446
00:20:51.910 --> 00:20:53.410
I've got spiritual weapons.
447
00:20:53.410 --> 00:20:55.390
I've got the blood of
Jesus, the word of God,
448
00:20:55.390 --> 00:20:56.440
the power of the Holy Spirit.
449
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.750
I've got it all. I've got people around me
450
00:20:58.750 --> 00:20:59.980
who will encourage me
451
00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:02.800
and I am not gonna continue living the way that I've lived.
452
00:21:02.800 --> 00:21:06.220
I'm armed for the fight and I intend to prevail.
453
00:21:07.690 --> 00:21:10.540
This has been good. We're
gonna pick up here tomorrow,
454
00:21:10.540 --> 00:21:12.550
but I'll be back in just a moment
455
00:21:12.550 --> 00:21:13.630
and I'm going to pray for you.
456
00:21:21.550 --> 00:21:23.230
Someone has asked the question -
457
00:21:23.230 --> 00:21:27.160
Does God send evil things into our life to teach us?
458
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:29.320
No! He does not!
459
00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:32.020
God doesn't have to use
evil things to teach you.
460
00:21:32.020 --> 00:21:34.930
He's got the word of God. He's
got the Holy Spirit in you.
461
00:21:34.930 --> 00:21:37.810
He's got your local church
and the voice of your pastor.
462
00:21:37.810 --> 00:21:40.870
God has all kinds of ways to teach you,
463
00:21:40.870 --> 00:21:43.330
and he doesn't send evil
things into our life.
464
00:21:43.330 --> 00:21:46.960
We know that because James 1:17 says - Every good
465
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.360
and perfect gift is from above
466
00:21:49.360 --> 00:21:53.110
and cometh down from the
father of lights as opposed to
467
00:21:53.110 --> 00:21:55.390
what comes from the father of darkness.
468
00:21:55.390 --> 00:21:59.380
It is the enemy that sends
destruction into our life.
469
00:21:59.380 --> 00:22:02.650
But God sends good and perfect gifts.
470
00:22:02.650 --> 00:22:04.720
And when God's gifts show up in our life,
471
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.110
they never subtract from
our life or take away from,
472
00:22:08.110 --> 00:22:11.260
but they perfect us and they complete us.
473
00:22:11.260 --> 00:22:13.480
That's what God sends into our life.
474
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:15.250
He doesn't use disaster.
475
00:22:15.250 --> 00:22:17.410
He does not send sickness into your life.
476
00:22:17.410 --> 00:22:20.320
That's just not the way that
God does it - my friends -
477
00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:23.200
every good and perfect gift is from above.

506
00:23:42.580 --> 00:23:44.170
Hey, this is Rick Renner,
507
00:23:44.170 --> 00:23:47.720
and today I'm in the Tulsa office
508
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.930
and this is the conference
room or the boardroom.
509
00:23:50.930 --> 00:23:55.400
This room is used all the
time for strategic planning
510
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.860
for the gospel and for
the teaching of the Bible,
511
00:23:57.860 --> 00:24:00.200
which we're taking around the world.
512
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.530
And all around this room we
have scriptures about wise
513
00:24:03.530 --> 00:24:05.540
counselor and wise planning.
514
00:24:05.540 --> 00:24:07.520
Of course, we have the great
commission on the screen
515
00:24:07.520 --> 00:24:11.150
behind us, and we even have
photographs of all the Board
516
00:24:11.150 --> 00:24:14.420
of directors of Rick Renner
Ministries who are real board
517
00:24:14.420 --> 00:24:16.880
of directors and regularly provide us
518
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.390
with the most wonderful godly counsel and advice.
519
00:24:20.390 --> 00:24:22.430
But right now we're in the process
520
00:24:22.430 --> 00:24:25.790
of paying off this facility in Tulsa.
521
00:24:25.790 --> 00:24:30.170
And guess what? We've already paid off 81%
522
00:24:30.170 --> 00:24:34.130
of the whole project,
and that is just amazing.
523
00:24:34.130 --> 00:24:36.260
If you consider how long
we've been doing this,
524
00:24:36.260 --> 00:24:38.210
it's really not that long.
525
00:24:38.210 --> 00:24:40.700
But because of the grace of God and
526
00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:42.500
because of people like you,
527
00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:46.160
we are really making significant progress.
528
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.230
And when we're finished
paying off the debt on this
529
00:24:48.230 --> 00:24:50.990
building, it's gonna
release all these finances
530
00:24:50.990 --> 00:24:53.750
to help us take the teaching
of the Bible further
531
00:24:53.750 --> 00:24:56.150
to the ends of the earth.
532
00:24:56.150 --> 00:24:58.760
So if you want to become
a part of the Giving team,
533
00:24:58.760 --> 00:25:03.200
we welcome you and together
we're gonna remove this debt
534
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.100
and release finances to go further in taking the teaching
535
00:25:07.100 --> 00:25:09.500
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
536
00:25:15.875 --> 00:25:18.110
Well, today we have covered a lot
537
00:25:18.110 --> 00:25:21.170
of very important teaching from 1 Peter 4
538
00:25:21.170 --> 00:25:26.170
about being armed for the fight.
539
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:28.880
You've gotta make a decision to be an overcomer.
540
00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:30.620
You are an overcomer.
541
00:25:30.620 --> 00:25:32.870
You are, God's declared
you to be an overcomer,
542
00:25:32.870 --> 00:25:36.140
but for you to experience it,
you've gotta make a decision -
543
00:25:36.140 --> 00:25:38.240
I'm gonna appropriate this in my life.
544
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:40.790
I'm gonna step into who I am,
545
00:25:40.790 --> 00:25:43.160
and you've gotta grab hold of
all the weaponry that God has
546
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:47.690
provided and make a decision that you are going to overcome.
547
00:25:47.690 --> 00:25:50.600
You gotta arm yourself
just like Jesus did.
548
00:25:51.890 --> 00:25:53.870
Please order this entire series
549
00:25:53.870 --> 00:25:56.360

guide that goes with it.
550
00:25:56.360 --> 00:25:59.180

the Green Volume of the RIV.
551
00:25:59.180 --> 00:26:02.000

552
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.880
It is a parallel study
Bible for people of faith,
553
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:08.600

of the Greek New Testament with footnotes and commentary.
555
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:14.930
And I know that when you
get this, you're going
556
00:26:14.930 --> 00:26:16.460
to devour it.
557
00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:18.380

So please call us or go online.
563
00:26:29.990 --> 00:26:31.790
But put your hand on your heart.
564
00:26:31.790 --> 00:26:32.960
I'm gonna pray for you right now.
565
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:36.290
Father - Lord, help us to come to a place where we just say,
566
00:26:36.290 --> 00:26:39.140
enough of that. We're not living this way anymore.
567
00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:41.750
We're not living in sin,
we're not living in defeat.
568
00:26:41.750 --> 00:26:44.400
We're not doing it anymore.
We're done with that.
569
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:49.290
And help us to embrace the
decision to walk in victory,
570
00:26:49.290 --> 00:26:52.170
to use the weapons that you've provided,
571
00:26:52.170 --> 00:26:56.340
and we thank you for it
in Jesus' wonderful name.
572
00:26:56.340 --> 00:27:00.990
Amen. Well, this has really
been pleasurable today,
573
00:27:00.990 --> 00:27:03.360
and I can hardly wait until tomorrow,
574
00:27:03.360 --> 00:27:06.845
but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
575
00:27:06.845 --> 00:27:10.620
Where the word of a king is, there is power."
576
00:27:10.620 --> 00:27:12.900
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
577
00:27:12.900 --> 00:27:17.280
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
578
00:27:17.280 --> 00:27:19.440
Jesus has to give you.
579
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.490
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
580
00:27:23.490 --> 00:27:27.540
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
581
00:27:27.540 --> 00:27:30.510
and Lord. Wash away my sin
582
00:27:30.510 --> 00:27:33.540
and make me completely new.
583
00:27:33.540 --> 00:27:37.290
I thank you that my sin is removed
584
00:27:37.290 --> 00:27:42.290
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
585
00:27:42.870 --> 00:27:46.860
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
586
00:27:46.860 --> 00:27:48.540
for the rest of my life.
587
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:54.000
Amen. If you just prayed the prayer of salvation
588
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:56.670
with us, would you please let us know by going
589
00:27:56.670 --> 00:28:01.380

00:28:23.345 --> 00:28:26.430
of the God called partners of Renner Ministries.
