00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:04.410
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:08.430
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.430 --> 00:00:11.700
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:15.270
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.270 --> 00:00:17.220
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:20.520
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:21.960
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.520
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:29.040
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:32.580
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.490
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.490 --> 00:00:42.960
Welcome to today's program.
It is the end of the week.
13
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.220
How did that happen?
14
00:00:44.220 --> 00:00:47.190
It seems like this week
has just gone by like that.
15
00:00:47.190 --> 00:00:51.090
We've really enjoyed our time
together studying 1st Peter
16
00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:54.480
and this week I'm teaching a series which is called, Arm
17
00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:56.760
Yourself for The Fight.
18
00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:59.640
It is a 5-part series, very practical.
19
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.610
It is exegesis from 1 Peter about how
20
00:01:02.610 --> 00:01:04.020
to Arm Yourself For The Fight.
21
00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:05.550
And today we're gonna wrap it up,
22
00:01:05.550 --> 00:01:08.340
but today is the last day
we're offering this series
23
00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:10.770
and the accompanying study
guide, which is filled
24
00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:12.690
with everything in this series so
25
00:01:12.690 --> 00:01:14.850
that you can read the
material while you're seeing
26
00:01:14.850 --> 00:01:16.140
or hearing the series.
27
00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:18.510
And friends, we really work
hard on these study guides,
28
00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:21.150
so be sure that you order
the study guide as well.
29
00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:23.580
And today is the last day this week
30
00:01:23.580 --> 00:01:26.250
that we're offering the Green volume, Vol.II
31
00:01:26.250 --> 00:01:29.370
of the RIV, which is 1st & 2nd Peter.
32
00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:33.660
It is a parallel study
Bible for people of faith.
33
00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:36.570
If you consider yourself
to be a person of faith,
34
00:01:36.570 --> 00:01:40.770
this is the study Bible
you've been waiting for.
35
00:01:40.770 --> 00:01:44.340
It's gonna take you places that you've never been to before.
36
00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:46.800
It's gonna really open the scriptures to you
37
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:50.280
and you can order it in all
these things by going online
38
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:51.960
or by giving us a call.
39
00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:54.480
And I just wanna say thank you for being a partner.
40
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:56.160
If you're a partner with our ministry,
41
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:59.580
you are very important. Together with you,
42
00:01:59.580 --> 00:02:02.310
with us, we're taking the teaching of the Bible
43
00:02:02.310 --> 00:02:03.870
to the ends of the earth.
44
00:02:03.870 --> 00:02:06.510
And I wish you could see the letters
45
00:02:06.510 --> 00:02:08.910
and the comments which are
literally coming from the ends
46
00:02:08.910 --> 00:02:12.000
of the earth, from people
whose lives are being changed
47
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.890
because we're feeding
them the word of God.
48
00:02:13.890 --> 00:02:16.230
And I just wanna say thank
you for being a partner.
49
00:02:16.230 --> 00:02:17.850
And if you're not a partner yet,
50
00:02:17.850 --> 00:02:21.570
please pray about becoming
a partner with our ministry.
51
00:02:21.570 --> 00:02:24.630
But I want you to reach for your Bible.
52
00:02:24.630 --> 00:02:28.980
And today we're going to return to 1 Peter 4,
53
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:30.120
and today we're going
54
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.590
to wrap up this series called
Arm Yourself For The Fight.
55
00:02:34.590 --> 00:02:38.100
And we're going to go to 1 Peter 4:12.
56
00:02:38.100 --> 00:02:41.070
Now when you come to 1 Peter 4:12,
57
00:02:41.070 --> 00:02:44.790
Peter addresses his audience and they are really struggling.
58
00:02:44.790 --> 00:02:48.180
That's why he told them in 4:1,
59
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:50.550
to arm themselves for a fight.
60
00:02:50.550 --> 00:02:54.390
They were really in a fight We saw earlier in chapter 1,
61
00:02:54.390 --> 00:02:58.410
they were in the middle of the
fiery trials of persecution.
62
00:02:58.410 --> 00:03:00.970
And now when we come to chapter 4:
63
00:03:00.970 --> 00:03:04.780
12, in the King James Version, Peter says,
64
00:03:04.780 --> 00:03:09.670
beloved think it not strange
concerning the fiery trial,
65
00:03:09.670 --> 00:03:11.650
which is to try you
66
00:03:11.650 --> 00:03:14.800
as though some strange
thing has happened unto you.
67
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:19.240
Here they found themselves in the middle of a blazing fire.
68
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.970
It is really a fiery trial
69
00:03:21.970 --> 00:03:23.770
which they were not anticipating
70
00:03:23.770 --> 00:03:27.250
but now they find themselves
in the middle of the flames
71
00:03:27.250 --> 00:03:29.140
and Peter writes to
them to encourage them.
72
00:03:29.140 --> 00:03:31.390
And I want to tell you as well, you need
73
00:03:31.390 --> 00:03:34.450
to know the devil loves to attack and to take us off guard.
74
00:03:34.450 --> 00:03:36.340
And that's what happened
to these believers.
75
00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:38.530
And now Peter says to them,
76
00:03:38.530 --> 00:03:40.390
and through the
scriptures, God says to us,
77
00:03:40.390 --> 00:03:43.840
don't think it's strange if
it happens to you as well.
78
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.200
But notice Peter begins
with the word beloved.
79
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:49.210
Now let's read the RIV.
80
00:03:49.210 --> 00:03:52.630
The RIV says, beloved, I call you that
81
00:03:52.630 --> 00:03:56.050
because it's the only
word I know to express
82
00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:59.140
how deeply I love and cherish you.
83
00:03:59.140 --> 00:04:01.030
We've covered this once before,
84
00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:03.430
but I really want you
to understand the impact
85
00:04:03.430 --> 00:04:05.350
of the Greek word that is used here,
86
00:04:05.350 --> 00:04:09.550
which is explained in footnote No.829. The words
87
00:04:09.550 --> 00:04:11.530
"beloved, I call you that
88
00:04:11.530 --> 00:04:14.020
because it's the only
word I know to express
89
00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:15.700
how deeply I love and cherish
90
00:04:15.700 --> 00:04:17.890
you" are from a form the Greek word agape,
91
00:04:18.940 --> 00:04:21.850
which is the highest level of love. Here,
92
00:04:21.850 --> 00:04:25.660
it describes one's deep love for others and
93
00:04:25.660 --> 00:04:27.610
therefore they are beloved.
94
00:04:27.610 --> 00:04:29.830
But the word agape - now listen to this -
95
00:04:29.830 --> 00:04:31.420
byy the way, it is one of the hardest words
96
00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:33.820
to translate in the entire New Testament
97
00:04:33.820 --> 00:04:36.850
because it is just packed
with so much emotion.
98
00:04:36.850 --> 00:04:41.620
But the word agape describes
the admiration one has
99
00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:43.810
for an object of beauty.
100
00:04:43.810 --> 00:04:47.230
The beholder is so
taken by the object that
101
00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:51.040
as he gazes upon it, it
causes deep admiration
102
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.530
and appreciation to exude from his heart
103
00:04:53.530 --> 00:04:57.190
because he's so moved by what his eyes have beheld.
104
00:04:57.190 --> 00:05:01.840
In fact, the observer experiences a loss of words to express
105
00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:05.080
what he feels because he's
so taken with the beauty of
106
00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:06.700
that object or that person.
107
00:05:06.700 --> 00:05:10.150
And here Peter uses this
word to mean that we
108
00:05:10.150 --> 00:05:14.590
as believers should view one
another with deep admiration,
109
00:05:14.590 --> 00:05:16.690
awe and wonder.
110
00:05:16.690 --> 00:05:19.060
When I'm reading this, I'm thinking about the past weekend.
111
00:05:20.470 --> 00:05:22.360
Last Saturday I spent the day with Denise
112
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.600
and we decided to go to the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
113
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.400
It's a marvelous museum.
114
00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:29.200
Most of the western world
doesn't know about it,
115
00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:32.440
but it's actually one of the
finest museums on the planet.
116
00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:34.600
And as we walked through that museum,
117
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:35.710
I thought about this word agape
118
00:05:36.640 --> 00:05:39.970
because as I looked upon
different pieces of art, some
119
00:05:39.970 --> 00:05:41.980
of the art was so magnificent
120
00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:43.870
that it just left me speechless.
121
00:05:43.870 --> 00:05:48.070
It literally drew awe and
wonder out of my heart.
122
00:05:48.070 --> 00:05:49.240
I would look at some of that art
123
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.720
and think, how did anyone paint that?
124
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.030
It just left me speechless.
125
00:05:55.030 --> 00:05:58.400
I had such an admiration
for what I was looking at
126
00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:01.730
and the talent that was
required to create it.
127
00:06:01.730 --> 00:06:06.410
Now, that same idea is in
this verse to describe how we
128
00:06:06.410 --> 00:06:09.830
as believers are supposed
to look at each other.
129
00:06:09.830 --> 00:06:12.230
You know, very often we just become accustomed to each other
130
00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:15.530
and we forget what wonders we all are.
131
00:06:15.530 --> 00:06:18.350
If you consider who your friend used to be, how they used
132
00:06:18.350 --> 00:06:20.960
to live, or even how your spouse used to be
133
00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:22.773
or what you used to be.
134
00:06:22.773 --> 00:06:25.165
But look at who you are now.
135
00:06:25.165 --> 00:06:27.123
When God recreated you in Christ
136
00:06:27.123 --> 00:06:31.130
Jesus, he put all of his artistic skill into your remaking.
137
00:06:31.130 --> 00:06:33.440
He made you brand spanking new.
138
00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:36.110
And not just you, but
everyone you know at church
139
00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:38.330
that is born by the spirit of God.
140
00:06:38.330 --> 00:06:40.910
And rather than just
look upon each other just
141
00:06:40.910 --> 00:06:44.210
as regular old folks, we need to remember
142
00:06:44.210 --> 00:06:46.640
that we're looking at works of art.
143
00:06:46.640 --> 00:06:51.260
This Greek word agape, describes deep love and appreciation.
144
00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:53.510
And that is why the RIV translates it:
145
00:06:53.510 --> 00:06:55.880
Beloved - I call you that
146
00:06:55.880 --> 00:06:58.790
because it's the only
word I know to express
147
00:06:58.790 --> 00:07:02.300
how deeply I love and cherish you.
148
00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:05.510
Wow! Do you have that kind of love
149
00:07:05.510 --> 00:07:08.570
and appreciation for people
you know that are saved?
150
00:07:08.570 --> 00:07:11.240
Do you really view your
friends at church like that?
151
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.670
We need to. And if you don't, you need
152
00:07:13.670 --> 00:07:15.170
to learn how to do that.
153
00:07:15.170 --> 00:07:18.290
But then we read in the King James Version
154
00:07:18.290 --> 00:07:22.490
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial
155
00:07:22.490 --> 00:07:24.500
which is to try you.
156
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:29.240
The RIV says - I'm telling you not to be taken off guard
157
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.550
by the strange surprising
158
00:07:31.550 --> 00:07:36.290
and unexpected fires you
are all experiencing.
159
00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:39.980
Notice the RIV says - taken off guard
160
00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:44.960
by the strange surprising
and unexpected fires.
161
00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:47.420
Well, let's look at this in footnote No.830
162
00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:51.740
which says - The words "taken off guard by the strange,
163
00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:53.698
surprising and unexpected"
164
00:07:53.698 --> 00:07:56.064
are from a Greek word which really
165
00:07:56.064 --> 00:07:59.840
describes something that is alien, something that is foreign
166
00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:01.820
or something that is strange.
167
00:08:01.820 --> 00:08:02.840
But the form of this word,
168
00:08:02.840 --> 00:08:07.010
which Peter uses in this verse
denotes an experience contrary
169
00:08:07.010 --> 00:08:10.880
to what one expected and
therefore unexpected, strange
170
00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:12.290
or even weird.
171
00:08:12.290 --> 00:08:17.270
And the verb form that is used
signifies experiencing shock
172
00:08:17.270 --> 00:08:22.010
at an unfamiliar situation
or taken by surprise
173
00:08:22.010 --> 00:08:24.170
because of the novelty
of what is happening.
174
00:08:24.170 --> 00:08:28.520 line:15%
And Peter's use of this term tells his audience - Don't view
175
00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:31.610
persecution or hardship for the gospel's sake
176
00:08:31.610 --> 00:08:34.580
as new territory for the faithful.
177
00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:37.280
Sometimes this just happens.
178
00:08:37.280 --> 00:08:39.290
Now let's use you as an example.
179
00:08:39.290 --> 00:08:41.660
Here you are serving God, everything's going well,
180
00:08:41.660 --> 00:08:43.370
you're living right, you're doing right,
181
00:08:43.370 --> 00:08:46.550
and all of a sudden you find yourself in the midst
182
00:08:46.550 --> 00:08:49.610
of a very difficult situation that is completely
183
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:51.680
unanticipated.
184
00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:55.800
It just takes you off guard and by surprise.
185
00:08:55.800 --> 00:08:59.400
Now Peter, who like a
loving father is speaking
186
00:08:59.400 --> 00:09:01.140
to his audience, he says - Hey guys,
187
00:09:01.140 --> 00:09:04.140
don't be taken surprised by this.
188
00:09:04.140 --> 00:09:05.760
This just happens.
189
00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:07.950
And he goes on to say, I'm telling you not
190
00:09:07.950 --> 00:09:11.760
to be taken off guard by
the strange, surprising
191
00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:12.990
and unexpected.
192
00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:17.730
And then he adds - fires
you all are experiencing.
193
00:09:17.730 --> 00:09:19.680
And the RIV continues -
194
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:24.000
I'm talking about the blazing fiery opposition
195
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.360
that is trying to engulf you.
196
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.290
And I just have to read to
you from footnote No.831,
197
00:09:31.290 --> 00:09:36.290
which says - The words "fires
you are all experiencing.
198
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.660
I'm talking about the blazing
fiery opposition that's trying
199
00:09:39.660 --> 00:09:42.780
to engulf you" is an interpretation of a form
200
00:09:42.780 --> 00:09:45.720
of the Greek word purosis, which comes from the word pur,
201
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.240
the Greek word for a burning fire.
202
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.540
And it depicts a brightly burning fire
203
00:09:51.540 --> 00:09:55.170
with flames swirling, whirling, flickering, twisting,
204
00:09:55.170 --> 00:09:58.380
turning, arching upward toward the sky.
205
00:09:58.380 --> 00:10:02.280
However, the form that Peter
uses in this verse conveys the
206
00:10:02.280 --> 00:10:05.940
idea of a fire that comes to expose
207
00:10:05.940 --> 00:10:07.680
and to reveal the integrity
208
00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:11.280
of a substance: like blazing fires that were used
209
00:10:11.280 --> 00:10:13.620
to try metals in the ancient world
210
00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:16.080
to discover if the
metal had hidden defects
211
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.690
or flaws. In no way -
212
00:10:18.690 --> 00:10:20.190
now please hear this -
213
00:10:20.190 --> 00:10:23.310
because many people think their trial is sent by God,
214
00:10:23.310 --> 00:10:26.550
but in no way did Peter ever state
215
00:10:26.550 --> 00:10:28.890
that the fires his
readers were experiencing
216
00:10:28.890 --> 00:10:30.720
were heaven sent.
217
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.860
There are many types of fiery
experiences in life: those
218
00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:37.230
that come just with the course of life:
219
00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:40.080
Sometimes our fires are self-imposed,
220
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.580
sometimes they're godly
221
00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:45.000
heaven sent fire that is intended to reveal defects
222
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.520
and flaws so we can be refined
223
00:10:47.520 --> 00:10:50.310
and made stronger as a result.
224
00:10:50.310 --> 00:10:51.990
That here Peter states
225
00:10:51.990 --> 00:10:56.910
that rather than let these
fiery experiences destroy us,
226
00:10:56.910 --> 00:10:59.640
which no doubt is the
purpose of these experiences,
227
00:10:59.640 --> 00:11:04.290
his readers, and we should
be stronger in our sense
228
00:11:04.290 --> 00:11:08.820
of faith and resist it. That's what we should do.
229
00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:09.930
Now I've got to tell you, Denise
230
00:11:09.930 --> 00:11:12.330
and I have been through
some strange events in life
231
00:11:12.330 --> 00:11:15.450
and some of them really took us off guard.
232
00:11:15.450 --> 00:11:17.880
Some of them just come with the course of life -
233
00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:21.270
fire comes in life: fiery experiences.
234
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:23.640
Sometimes we've been
through fiery experiences
235
00:11:23.640 --> 00:11:25.950
that were self-inflicted.
236
00:11:25.950 --> 00:11:27.240
Have you ever been through a hardship
237
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.760
because of something stupid that you did?
238
00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:33.030
But then we've also been through experiences when God sent a
239
00:11:33.030 --> 00:11:35.610
divine fire, a holy fire.
240
00:11:35.610 --> 00:11:39.270
And when God sends a divine
fire, it is never destructive.
241
00:11:39.270 --> 00:11:40.710
Never, never, never.
242
00:11:40.710 --> 00:11:43.770
It comes to purify and to make us better.
243
00:11:43.770 --> 00:11:45.870
But these particular believers were going
244
00:11:45.870 --> 00:11:47.400
through a destructive fire.
245
00:11:47.400 --> 00:11:49.740
It was a fire that was
coming to engulf them
246
00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:51.840
and to consume them.
247
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:53.560
And now Peter says to them, my friends,
248
00:11:53.560 --> 00:11:56.320
you may be taken off guard
by this, but don't be
249
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.110
because this is the way the devil attacks.
250
00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:03.370
And then he goes on in the RIV to say,
251
00:12:03.370 --> 00:12:08.370
These experiences are occurring for the express purpose
252
00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:12.940
of trying to entrap and take you down.
253
00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:17.500
Wow! Listen to footnote No.834.
254
00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:19.570
Did you hear that - 834.
255
00:12:19.570 --> 00:12:22.000
There's over 1,000 footnotes in this volume.
256
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.300
But footnote No.834 says - The words
257
00:12:26.680 --> 00:12:27.850
"trying to entrap
258
00:12:27.850 --> 00:12:31.210
and take you down" are interpreted from a form
259
00:12:31.210 --> 00:12:33.160
of the Greek word, peirasmos.
260
00:12:33.160 --> 00:12:38.140
A word that negatively describes - negatively describes -
261
00:12:38.140 --> 00:12:42.820
a temptation intended to entrap or to destroy.
262
00:12:43.660 --> 00:12:46.690
This same word is used over and over
263
00:12:46.690 --> 00:12:48.220
and over in the gospels
264
00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:52.360
to describe those moments
when Jesus was either tested
265
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.270
by the devil or by Pharisees
266
00:12:55.270 --> 00:12:58.930
and Sadducee who wished to entrap him in order
267
00:12:58.930 --> 00:13:02.680
to destroy him. Both the devil
268
00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:06.850
and the religious leaders of Jesus time long to entrap him
269
00:13:06.850 --> 00:13:10.990
and used various means in an attempt to do this.
270
00:13:10.990 --> 00:13:14.440
And it's important to note that this word peirasmos -
271
00:13:15.430 --> 00:13:17.020
this word is so important.
272
00:13:17.020 --> 00:13:19.960
The word that Peter uses in this verse is very closely
273
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:21.670
related to the word peira:
274
00:13:21.670 --> 00:13:24.490
a word that denotes an attempt, an experiment, a test
275
00:13:24.490 --> 00:13:25.750
or a trial
276
00:13:25.750 --> 00:13:29.830
and that is nearly always used
in a negative connotation.
277
00:13:29.830 --> 00:13:32.980
Thus, the fiery trials that Peter was alluding
278
00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:36.760
to in these verses are not heaven sent trials,
279
00:13:36.760 --> 00:13:39.220
but events that were intended to destroy
280
00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:42.730
and utterly take down
Peter's audience of readers.
281
00:13:42.730 --> 00:13:43.810
Now this is very important
282
00:13:43.810 --> 00:13:47.350
because if you think your
fire has been sent from God,
283
00:13:47.350 --> 00:13:50.290
you're probably gonna throw
up in your arms and receive it
284
00:13:50.290 --> 00:13:52.810
and say, Lord, please do your work in me.
285
00:13:52.810 --> 00:13:54.580
And maybe that's what
these believers were doing.
286
00:13:54.580 --> 00:13:56.860
Most of them were from a Jewish background
287
00:13:56.860 --> 00:13:59.140
and they may have mistakenly thought,
288
00:13:59.140 --> 00:14:01.450
I guess God has sent these problems.
289
00:14:01.450 --> 00:14:04.210
I guess God has allowed all of this.
290
00:14:04.210 --> 00:14:06.730
And now Peter is making it very clear,
291
00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:08.620
this is not a heaven sent fire.
292
00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:11.080
No, no, no, a heaven sent fire purifies.
293
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:12.370
It makes you stronger,
294
00:14:12.370 --> 00:14:14.680
it removes your defects,
it makes you better.
295
00:14:14.680 --> 00:14:16.660
But this is a fire that has come,
296
00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:21.250
the RIV says, for the express purpose of trying to entrap
297
00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:22.330
and take you down.
298
00:14:22.330 --> 00:14:26.170
So rather than receive
it, you are to resist it.
299
00:14:26.170 --> 00:14:30.010
And that is why you need to "Arm Yourself For The Fight".
300
00:14:30.010 --> 00:14:32.980
My friends, this is so very important for you to understand.
301
00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:35.440
You are to resist destructive fires
302
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.030
that come into your life.
303
00:14:37.900 --> 00:14:41.080
And then the RIV goes on to say - I don't want you
304
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.200
to look at these events as though something strange,
305
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:48.130
surprising, or unexpected is accompanying you.
306
00:14:48.130 --> 00:14:51.200
Because very often people say, I just don't understand.
307
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.230
I was walking in faith, I was doing right.
308
00:14:54.230 --> 00:14:55.970
I've been living right,
I've been giving my tithe,
309
00:14:55.970 --> 00:14:57.800
I've been giving my offering,
I've been serving God.
310
00:14:57.800 --> 00:15:02.800
I just don't understand why has all of this happened to me?
311
00:15:03.020 --> 00:15:05.570
And now Peter is giving us the answer.
312
00:15:05.570 --> 00:15:07.550
When you're doing what is right,
313
00:15:07.550 --> 00:15:09.470
when you're giving your
tithe, you're going to church,
314
00:15:09.470 --> 00:15:13.160
you're living for God,
the enemy comes to attack.
315
00:15:13.160 --> 00:15:16.400
He sends fires to engulf us and to break us.
316
00:15:16.400 --> 00:15:19.670
He's trying to entrap us and to take us down
317
00:15:19.670 --> 00:15:22.370
because he doesn't like where you're headed with your faith.
318
00:15:23.300 --> 00:15:27.380
And now Peter says, don't be surprised by this. Why?
319
00:15:27.380 --> 00:15:30.380
Because he wants people to know this is just what happens.
320
00:15:30.380 --> 00:15:32.150
If you know this is what happens,
321
00:15:32.150 --> 00:15:34.520
then you will "Arm Yourself For The Fight".
322
00:15:34.520 --> 00:15:36.980
You won't be taken off guard by it.
323
00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:39.050
And the RIV again says, I don't want you
324
00:15:39.050 --> 00:15:40.580
to look at these events
325
00:15:40.580 --> 00:15:43.460
as though something strange surprising
326
00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:48.140
or unexpected is accompanying
you uninvited on your
327
00:15:48.140 --> 00:15:49.220
journey of faith.
328
00:15:50.870 --> 00:15:52.610
I love that interpretation
329
00:15:52.610 --> 00:15:56.090
because these events are uninvited on our journey of faith
330
00:15:56.090 --> 00:16:00.920
because there's really nothing very surprising about it
331
00:16:00.920 --> 00:16:02.480
at all.
332
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:05.090
This is just what happens.
333
00:16:05.090 --> 00:16:08.300
And you know, I think a perfect example of this
334
00:16:08.300 --> 00:16:11.180
is when Jesus and his disciples in Mark 4 got
335
00:16:11.180 --> 00:16:13.730
into a boat to go to the
other side of the lake.
336
00:16:13.730 --> 00:16:15.140
Well, on the other side of the lake was the
337
00:16:15.140 --> 00:16:16.880
country of the Gadarenes.
338
00:16:16.880 --> 00:16:19.460
And when Jesus arrived there, he was going
339
00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:21.440
to deliver two demonized men.
340
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.260
One of them had a whole legion of demons,
341
00:16:24.260 --> 00:16:26.900
which is nearly 7,000 demons.
342
00:16:26.900 --> 00:16:30.920
And the devil knew that if Jesus ship reached the other side
343
00:16:30.920 --> 00:16:33.500
of that lake, he was going to perform one
344
00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:35.360
of the greatest miracles he ever performed
345
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:38.120
and set an entire region on that side
346
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.510
of the lake free from the
fear of these demoniacs.
347
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:45.350
And so when Jesus and his
disciples got into the boat
348
00:16:45.350 --> 00:16:46.850
that night to sail to the other side,
349
00:16:46.850 --> 00:16:48.890
it was a great night for sailing.
350
00:16:48.890 --> 00:16:53.030
The skies were clear. It was
a perfect night for sailing.
351
00:16:53.030 --> 00:16:54.290
And you have to remember that many
352
00:16:54.290 --> 00:16:56.720
of Jesus' disciples were
fishermen from that lake.
353
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:58.340
They knew the weather of the lake,
354
00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:00.020
they knew the behavior of the water.
355
00:17:00.020 --> 00:17:02.300
It was a great night for sailing.
356
00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:03.500
But the Bible tells us
357
00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:06.950
that when they were on the way
in the middle of the night,
358
00:17:06.950 --> 00:17:08.930
in the middle of the lake,
359
00:17:08.930 --> 00:17:13.100
suddenly there rose a great storm of wind.
360
00:17:13.100 --> 00:17:16.040
And the word suddenly in Greek is the word ginomai,
361
00:17:16.040 --> 00:17:18.260
which describes something that takes you off guard
362
00:17:18.260 --> 00:17:22.160
or by surprise. You could actually translate it suddenly out
363
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.970
of nowhere, it was the last thing we would have expected.
364
00:17:25.970 --> 00:17:28.040
It took us completely off guard
365
00:17:28.040 --> 00:17:31.670
and by surprise; suddenly out of nowhere there arose
366
00:17:32.630 --> 00:17:35.360
a great storm of wind.
367
00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:37.400
It doesn't say it was a rainstorm,
368
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:38.660
it was a great storm of wind.
369
00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:40.610
And that word wind is the word lailaps.
370
00:17:40.610 --> 00:17:43.580
It describes intense turbulence.
371
00:17:43.580 --> 00:17:45.710
Well, you can feel turbulence,
but you can't see it.
372
00:17:45.710 --> 00:17:48.200
You can't point your finger at wind.
373
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.440
This was an invisible force
which took them off guard,
374
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.170
attempting to capsize their boat in the middle of the lake,
375
00:17:55.170 --> 00:17:58.890
in the middle of the night
to stop them from getting
376
00:17:58.890 --> 00:18:01.110
to the other side.
377
00:18:01.110 --> 00:18:04.230
Well, my friends, if it can happen to Jesus,
378
00:18:04.230 --> 00:18:06.360
it can happen to you.
379
00:18:06.360 --> 00:18:10.380
And now Peter as good spiritual leader, is awakening us,
380
00:18:10.380 --> 00:18:11.640
trying to help us understand,
381
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.640
this just happens when you're getting somewhere
382
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.230
with your faith.
383
00:18:16.230 --> 00:18:18.690
The devil is not throwing a party with joy
384
00:18:18.690 --> 00:18:20.670
because you're making progress.
385
00:18:20.670 --> 00:18:23.220
He will send something
to try to entrap you
386
00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:25.170
and take you down and distract you.
387
00:18:26.070 --> 00:18:28.950
So again, the King James Version says 1 Peter
388
00:18:28.950 --> 00:18:32.040
4:12, Beloved think it not strange
389
00:18:32.040 --> 00:18:35.610
concerning the fiery
trial, which is to try you
390
00:18:35.610 --> 00:18:39.390
as though some strange
thing has happened to you.
391
00:18:40.260 --> 00:18:42.600
But the RIV reaching into the Greek text,
392
00:18:42.600 --> 00:18:45.810
pulling out the flavor and the nuances expands it to this -
393
00:18:47.310 --> 00:18:50.100
Beloved, I call you that
394
00:18:50.100 --> 00:18:52.680
because it's the only word I know to express
395
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:54.870
how deeply I love and cherish you.
396
00:18:54.870 --> 00:18:59.460
I am telling you not to be taken off guard
397
00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:01.050
by the strange, surprising
398
00:19:01.050 --> 00:19:05.640
and unexpected fires you are all experiencing.
399
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:09.540
I'm talking about the
blazing fiery opposition
400
00:19:09.540 --> 00:19:11.700
that is trying to engulf you.
401
00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:13.980
There's nothing positive about this.
402
00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:17.040
The RIV goes on to say, these
experiences are occurring
403
00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:21.780
for the express purpose
of trying to entrap
404
00:19:21.780 --> 00:19:23.850
and take you down.
405
00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:27.120
I don't want you to look at these events
406
00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:29.400
as though something strange, surprising,
407
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.450
or unexpected is accompanying
you uninvited on your journey
408
00:19:33.450 --> 00:19:37.320
of faith because there's
really nothing very surprising
409
00:19:37.320 --> 00:19:39.810
about it at all.
410
00:19:39.810 --> 00:19:42.600
My friends, this is what happens.
411
00:19:42.600 --> 00:19:43.650
This is why Denise
412
00:19:43.650 --> 00:19:45.630
and I have experienced
so many crazy things
413
00:19:45.630 --> 00:19:47.460
during the course of our ministry
414
00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:49.140
and most of these crazy things
415
00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:51.720
that we've experienced have happened when we're on the brink
416
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.080
of our breakthrough, when we're really making progress - bam
417
00:19:55.080 --> 00:19:56.130
then something happens.
418
00:19:56.130 --> 00:20:00.330
Suddenly out of nowhere there arises a great storm of wind.
419
00:20:00.330 --> 00:20:03.720
And Peter says, friends, friends,
friends, I don't want you
420
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.840
to look at these events as
though something strange,
421
00:20:06.840 --> 00:20:09.960
surprising, or unexpected
is accompanying you
422
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:11.700
uninvited on your journey.
423
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:14.910
Because when the devil
sees you're going somewhere
424
00:20:14.910 --> 00:20:18.090
with your faith and you're
making progress, he will try
425
00:20:18.090 --> 00:20:20.370
to engulf you in
something to distract you,
426
00:20:20.370 --> 00:20:25.140
to get you off track or to entrap you and to take you down
427
00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:28.410
because the devil knows if
you really arrive at your
428
00:20:28.410 --> 00:20:31.050
destination, if you keep going in the same direction
429
00:20:31.050 --> 00:20:33.300
you're moving in right now, you are going
430
00:20:33.300 --> 00:20:36.120
to be become a threat to his domain.
431
00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:40.950
And therefore he creates these distractions,
432
00:20:40.950 --> 00:20:43.740
these surprising attacks,
433
00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:47.080
which Peter calls a fiery trial.
434
00:20:47.080 --> 00:20:50.110
But my friends, God has
given you the blood of Jesus,
435
00:20:50.110 --> 00:20:51.520
the word of God, the power
436
00:20:51.520 --> 00:20:53.050
of the Holy Spirit spiritual weapon
437
00:20:53.050 --> 00:20:55.840
where you've got everything you need.
438
00:20:55.840 --> 00:20:59.230
You just need to make up
your mind to arm yourself
439
00:20:59.230 --> 00:21:02.020
for the fight and to overcome any
440
00:21:02.020 --> 00:21:04.360
of the opposition which comes against you
441
00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:08.080
and you can prevail - say Amen.
442
00:21:08.080 --> 00:21:10.990
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
443
00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:21.310
Someone has asked the important question,
444
00:21:21.310 --> 00:21:24.220
how do I resist the devil's attacks?
445
00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:27.880
Well, it's for sure that somewhere along the way he is going
446
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:29.410
to try to attack you.
447
00:21:29.410 --> 00:21:31.600
And we're told in 1 Peter 5:
448
00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:33.370
7 - Be sober
449
00:21:33.370 --> 00:21:34.870
be vigilant
450
00:21:34.870 --> 00:21:37.840
because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion,
451
00:21:37.840 --> 00:21:40.900
walks about seeking whom he may devour.
452
00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:43.450
And that word vigilant means that you need
453
00:21:43.450 --> 00:21:47.080
to plan your resistance against him
454
00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:49.870
before the attack ever takes place.
455
00:21:49.870 --> 00:21:52.270
And my friends, if you put up barricades,
456
00:21:52.270 --> 00:21:53.800
the devil will not be able
457
00:21:53.800 --> 00:21:57.220
to be successful in his
attacks against you.
458
00:21:57.220 --> 00:22:00.250
And oh, I've got a great
series on this call, How
459
00:22:00.250 --> 00:22:01.690
to Keep the Devil Out of your Life.
460

It will set you free from the devil's attacks,
462
00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:10.360
but it's for sure the
devil will try to come.
463
00:22:10.360 --> 00:22:12.070
But rather than wait for the attack
464
00:22:12.070 --> 00:22:15.550
and then figure out what to do, you need to be precautionary
465
00:22:15.550 --> 00:22:18.670
and put a barricades to
make sure he can never get
466
00:22:18.670 --> 00:22:20.350
through them to attack you.

495
00:23:39.730 --> 00:23:41.320
Hey, this is Rick Renner,
496
00:23:41.320 --> 00:23:44.860
and today I'm in the Tulsa office
497
00:23:44.860 --> 00:23:48.110
and this is the conference
room or the boardroom.
498
00:23:48.110 --> 00:23:52.550
This room is used all the
time for strategic planning
499
00:23:52.550 --> 00:23:55.010
for the gospel and for
the teaching of the Bible,
500
00:23:55.010 --> 00:23:57.350
which we're taking around the world.
501
00:23:57.350 --> 00:24:00.710
And all around this room we
have scriptures about wise
502
00:24:00.710 --> 00:24:02.720
counselor and wise planning.
503
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:04.700
Of course we have the great
commission on the screen
504
00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:08.300
behind us and we even have
photographs of all the Board
505
00:24:08.300 --> 00:24:11.600
of directors of Rick Renner
Ministries who are real board
506
00:24:11.600 --> 00:24:14.060
of directors and regularly provide us
507
00:24:14.060 --> 00:24:17.540
with the most wonderful
godly counsel and advice.
508
00:24:17.540 --> 00:24:19.610
But right now we're in the process
509
00:24:19.610 --> 00:24:22.940
of paying off this facility in Tulsa.
510
00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:27.320
And guess what? We've already paid off 81%
511
00:24:27.320 --> 00:24:31.310
of the whole project and that is just amazing.
512
00:24:31.310 --> 00:24:33.410
If you consider how long
we've been doing this,
513
00:24:33.410 --> 00:24:35.360
it's really not that long.
514
00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:37.850
But because of the grace of God and
515
00:24:37.850 --> 00:24:39.650
because of people like you,
516
00:24:39.650 --> 00:24:43.340
we are really making significant progress.
517
00:24:43.340 --> 00:24:45.350
And when we're finished
paying off the debt on this
518
00:24:45.350 --> 00:24:48.140
building, it's gonna
release all these finances
519
00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:50.900
to help us take the teaching
of the Bible further
520
00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:53.300
to the ends of the earth.
521
00:24:53.300 --> 00:24:55.940
So if you want to become
a part of the Giving Team,
522
00:24:55.940 --> 00:25:00.350
we welcome you and together
we're gonna remove this debt
523
00:25:00.350 --> 00:25:04.250
and release finances to go
further in taking the teaching
524
00:25:04.250 --> 00:25:06.710
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
525
00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:15.920
Well my friend, we have
just wrapped up the series,
526
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.280
which is called, Arm Yourself For The Fight.
527
00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:20.720
And I have enjoyed it so much.
528
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:22.550
I pray it's been a blessing to you.
529
00:25:22.550 --> 00:25:25.160
And today's the last day that
we're offering the series
530
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:28.070
and the study guide, and
today is the last day.
531
00:25:28.070 --> 00:25:30.950
It is the last day that we're
offering the Green Volume
532
00:25:30.950 --> 00:25:32.210
of the RIV.
533
00:25:32.210 --> 00:25:35.480
That's Vol.II, which is 1st & 2nd Peter.
534
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:37.640
And I really want you to have this.
535
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.950
So please go online to order all these things
536
00:25:39.950 --> 00:25:42.140
or give us a call
537
00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:44.390
and when you reach out to
us, let us know how to pray
538
00:25:44.390 --> 00:25:47.810
for you because we are really
praying for you already.
539
00:25:47.810 --> 00:25:49.820
But when we hear from you, we know how
540
00:25:49.820 --> 00:25:51.140
to pray better for you.
541
00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:52.880
I've already prayed for you today,
542
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:53.930
but if you'll call the number
543
00:25:53.930 --> 00:25:57.350
or send an email, then we can
get really specific in the
544
00:25:57.350 --> 00:25:58.580
way that we pray.
545
00:25:58.580 --> 00:25:59.750
So call the number
546
00:25:59.750 --> 00:26:02.660
or send an email, tell us
what you're going through,
547
00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:04.940
what you would like to have
agreement and prayer about,
548
00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:07.580
and we will join you in faith.
549
00:26:07.580 --> 00:26:12.440
And Jesus will really do
exactly what needs to be done.
550
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:17.030
He is Lord, over all,
including your situation.
551
00:26:17.030 --> 00:26:18.320
But I wanna pray for you right now.
552
00:26:18.320 --> 00:26:20.180
So put your hand on your heart.
553
00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:23.660
Father, I thank you that you've given us all the weaponry we
554
00:26:23.660 --> 00:26:25.670
need to prevail in life.
555
00:26:25.670 --> 00:26:28.370
And if the devil has sent any kind of a destructive fire,
556
00:26:28.370 --> 00:26:31.730
we can push back until we drive that thing out of our lives.
557
00:26:31.730 --> 00:26:34.670
Lord, we refuse to be distracted
558
00:26:34.670 --> 00:26:38.630
by any consuming fire he's trying to send into our lives
559
00:26:38.630 --> 00:26:41.690
to distract us and stop
us from our destination.
560
00:26:41.690 --> 00:26:44.392
We rebuke it in the name of Jesus
561
00:26:44.392 --> 00:26:46.320
and we thank you, father,
for giving us the power
562
00:26:46.320 --> 00:26:50.520
of the Spirit to press through
in Jesus wonderful name,
563
00:26:50.520 --> 00:26:53.160
Amen.
564
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.970
I have just enjoyed this week
teaching you about the fact
565
00:26:56.970 --> 00:26:59.850
that you need to arm yourself for the fight.
566
00:26:59.850 --> 00:27:03.210
That's just a reality, my friends, but we're out of time.
567
00:27:03.210 --> 00:27:05.190
But I want to tell you, I'm gonna be back
568
00:27:05.190 --> 00:27:07.410
and I don't want you to
miss the next episode.
569
00:27:07.410 --> 00:27:09.570
It's gonna be good. But until then,
570
00:27:09.570 --> 00:27:13.200
remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
571
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:16.530
of a king is, there is power."
572
00:27:16.530 --> 00:27:18.780
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
573
00:27:18.780 --> 00:27:23.160
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
574
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:25.320
Jesus has to give you.
575
00:27:25.320 --> 00:27:29.400
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
576
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.420
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
577
00:27:33.420 --> 00:27:36.390
and Lord. Wash away my sin
578
00:27:36.390 --> 00:27:39.390
and make me completely new.
579
00:27:39.390 --> 00:27:43.200
I thank you that my sin is removed
580
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:48.200
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
581
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.740
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
582
00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:54.390
for the rest of my life
583
00:27:55.355 --> 00:27:59.880
Amen. If you just prayed the prayer of salvation
584
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:02.550
with us, would you please let us know by going
585
00:28:02.550 --> 00:28:07.050
to renner.org/salvation? We would love to connect with you.
586
00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:21.150
This program was made possible by the giving
587
00:28:21.150 --> 00:28:24.240
of the God called partners of Renner Ministries.
