00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:03.810
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:07.860
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.860 --> 00:00:11.100
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:12.930
and your mind -
5
00:00:12.930 --> 00:00:16.650
where the word is the
anchor in uncertain times
6
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:19.950
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:21.360
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:25.950
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:28.710
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:32.010
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:35.880
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.430 --> 00:00:40.140
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:44.280
My name is Rick Renner and
I've been waiting for you.
14
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.340
And today I'm gonna wrap up my new series,
15
00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:50.520
which is called, Victory That Overcomes The World.
16
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.790
It is 5-parts, it comes in all kinds of formats
17
00:00:53.790 --> 00:00:56.520
and it comes with a tremendous study guide.
18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.500
And I really work on these study guides
19
00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:00.420
because I want you to be able
20
00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:04.590
to see everything while you
see or hear the programs
21
00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:06.780
because it really causes the teaching
22
00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:09.390
to get down deep inside you.
23
00:01:09.390 --> 00:01:12.210
And you need to really know
that you've got a victory
24
00:01:12.210 --> 00:01:14.340
that overcomes the world.
25
00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:16.320
And I want to also mention to you today,
26
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:19.050
the last day this week about my book called, My
27
00:01:19.050 --> 00:01:20.370
Victory Filled Day.
28
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:22.710
God wants every day of
your life to be filled
29
00:01:22.710 --> 00:01:24.660
with victory; my friends,
30
00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:27.780
that is what Jesus has planned for you.
31
00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:30.480
And this is a Sparkling Gems from the Greek Guided
32
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.920
Devotional Journey, which in
31 days walks you into a life
33
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.810
filled with victory.
34
00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:40.170
But to know more about
these things, just go online
35
00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:42.030
or give us a call.
36
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:44.940
And when you reach out to us,
please let us know how to pray
37
00:01:44.940 --> 00:01:47.070
for you because we're
waiting to pray for you.
38
00:01:47.070 --> 00:01:49.830
Hey, this is the first week of the year.
39
00:01:49.830 --> 00:01:51.600
This is a great time to ask somebody
40
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:55.860
to get into agreement in prayer with you for whatever it is
41
00:01:55.860 --> 00:01:57.780
that you're facing in life.
42
00:01:57.780 --> 00:01:59.310
This week we're talking about the fact
43
00:01:59.310 --> 00:02:02.220
that Jesus has overcoming power
44
00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:05.430
and you've got a victory
that overcomes the world.
45
00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:07.800
And I don't know what it
is that you're facing.
46
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:10.080
Maybe it's a relational issue.
47
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.390
Maybe it's something in your
marriage or your finances
48
00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:15.390
or your kids or your
employment; my friend,
49
00:02:15.390 --> 00:02:19.980
I want you to know that
Jesus has overcome everything
50
00:02:19.980 --> 00:02:22.950
and the greater one lives in you.
51
00:02:22.950 --> 00:02:24.660
And therefore, God's plan is for you
52
00:02:24.660 --> 00:02:27.150
to be a victor, not a victim.
53
00:02:27.150 --> 00:02:29.610
He wants you to be an overcomer.
54
00:02:29.610 --> 00:02:32.940
You really have a victory
that overcomes the world,
55
00:02:32.940 --> 00:02:37.020
and we would love to pray with
you for that overcoming power
56
00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:40.140
to be released in your life.
57
00:02:40.140 --> 00:02:42.120
But you know when people
call us for prayer,
58
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.100
they often call back with testimonies.
59
00:02:44.100 --> 00:02:47.400
And today I want to share
two testimonies with you.
60
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.210
One woman called to say, I want to become a monthly partner.
61
00:02:51.210 --> 00:02:53.430
Renner Ministries has
prayed for me through
62
00:02:53.430 --> 00:02:55.140
so many hard times
63
00:02:55.140 --> 00:02:58.320
and you've never made me
feel like I'm a burden.
64
00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:01.270
I would not have made it
without this ministry.
65
00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:03.940
You are all such a blessing to me,
66
00:03:03.940 --> 00:03:07.060
and I want to become a monthly
partner to say thank you
67
00:03:07.060 --> 00:03:09.580
for always being there for me.
68
00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:11.500
Well, I wanna say thank
you for being a partner
69
00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:13.480
and it is our pleasure to pray for you,
70
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:14.860
and we believe that praying
71
00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:18.100
for you is really a major
part of our ministry.
72
00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:20.740
But here is another testimony - Pastor Rick
73
00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:22.900
and Denise, you've blessed my family
74
00:03:22.900 --> 00:03:26.620
and me so much with your personal testimony in your book,
75
00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:30.010
Unlikely. Well, Unlikely is our autobiography,
76
00:03:30.010 --> 00:03:32.440
and you can find out more
about our autobiography,
77
00:03:32.440 --> 00:03:34.900
our personal story at our website.
78
00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:39.010
But this testimony goes on to say - Thank you so much.
79
00:03:39.010 --> 00:03:40.900
Your ministry is so impacting to us
80
00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:43.750
that we watch you twice a day.
81
00:03:43.750 --> 00:03:47.110
We love the way you explain
every word in every paragraph,
82
00:03:47.110 --> 00:03:50.830
and we thank you for letting
us be a part of your ministry.
83
00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:52.330
May God bless you.
84
00:03:52.330 --> 00:03:56.410
Well, I want to say thank you
for helping us do our work.
85
00:03:56.410 --> 00:03:58.150
You know, we can only do what we do
86
00:03:58.150 --> 00:04:01.330
because of the anointing of
God and the grace of God and
87
00:04:01.330 --> 00:04:02.800
because of partners like you.
88
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.890
So I want to say "Thank you" right back to you.
89
00:04:05.890 --> 00:04:10.390
But today I want to talk to you about the power to overcome
90
00:04:10.390 --> 00:04:12.820
and I want you to reach for your Bible.
91
00:04:12.820 --> 00:04:14.770
We always use our Bible in this program,
92
00:04:14.770 --> 00:04:19.510
and today we're going to turn to Ephesians 6
93
00:04:19.510 --> 00:04:21.970
to one of my favorite verses.
94
00:04:21.970 --> 00:04:25.990
And in Ephesians 6, the apostle Paul is writing
95
00:04:25.990 --> 00:04:27.430
to the Ephesians.
96
00:04:27.430 --> 00:04:30.040
And in the book of Ephesians, he's covered many,
97
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.180
many important things.
98
00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:32.800
For example: in chapter 1,
99
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.010
he covered election, predestination.
100
00:04:36.010 --> 00:04:38.110
He covered the fact that we've been chosen,
101
00:04:38.110 --> 00:04:40.450
that we've been sealed by the Holy Spirit.
102
00:04:40.450 --> 00:04:42.670
I mean that is really important.
103
00:04:42.670 --> 00:04:46.090
Then you get to chapter 2, he talks about the grace of God
104
00:04:46.090 --> 00:04:48.760
and the fact that we've been quicken together with Christ.
105
00:04:48.760 --> 00:04:51.430
You get to chapter 3: he talks about the eternal plan
106
00:04:51.430 --> 00:04:53.020
of God in the church.
107
00:04:53.020 --> 00:04:54.160
Then you get to chapter 4:
108
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.200
he talks about the unity of the faith.
109
00:04:56.200 --> 00:04:58.330
He talks about fivefold ministry.
110
00:04:58.330 --> 00:05:01.570
He talks about all kinds
of wonderful things.
111
00:05:01.570 --> 00:05:03.640
In chapter 5, he talks about the relationship
112
00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:05.710
between husbands and wives
113
00:05:05.710 --> 00:05:07.750
and between employers and employees.
114
00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:10.720
You get to chapter 6, he talks about the relationship
115
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.280
between parents and children.
116
00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:15.550
I mean, there is so much in the book of Ephesians.
117
00:05:15.550 --> 00:05:18.070
But then you get to chapter 6:10,
118
00:05:18.070 --> 00:05:21.910
and he says - Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord
119
00:05:21.910 --> 00:05:23.260
and in the power of his might.
120
00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:25.510
And the word finally carries this idea.
121
00:05:25.510 --> 00:05:26.590
Now to the last
122
00:05:26.590 --> 00:05:28.810
and most important point,
123
00:05:28.810 --> 00:05:31.780
I have saved the most
important thing to the end.
124
00:05:31.780 --> 00:05:34.060
If you can't remember
anything else I've said,
125
00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:36.880
please remember this - finally.
126
00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:38.620
And Paul begins to give us the final
127
00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:40.480
and the most important word.
128
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.820
Now remember, he's covered a lot
129
00:05:42.820 --> 00:05:45.130
of important things in this epistle,
130
00:05:45.130 --> 00:05:48.190
but now he says, let me tell
you what is most important
131
00:05:48.190 --> 00:05:49.540
for you to recall.
132
00:05:49.540 --> 00:05:51.820
And very often when you write a letter,
133
00:05:51.820 --> 00:05:54.730
you save the most important
thing to the very end
134
00:05:54.730 --> 00:05:56.830
because when people are
finished reading, you want
135
00:05:56.830 --> 00:05:57.980
that stay in their minds.
136
00:05:57.980 --> 00:05:59.780
Well, that's what now he does
137
00:05:59.780 --> 00:06:02.120
in Ephesians 6:10 - Finally,
138
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.930
my brethren, be strong in the Lord
139
00:06:05.930 --> 00:06:07.610
and in the power
140
00:06:07.610 --> 00:06:11.720
of His might. Be strong in the Lord
141
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.360
and in the power of his might.
142
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.320
And the word strong is a form of the Greek word, enduo.
143
00:06:19.640 --> 00:06:22.280
It's a compound of two words:
the word en, which means
144
00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:25.400
to be in: like to put something in a vessel
145
00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:28.370
or to put something into a receptacle.
146
00:06:28.370 --> 00:06:31.790
And the word duo, which is really a form
147
00:06:31.790 --> 00:06:34.460
of the Greek word dunamis, it describes explosive,
148
00:06:34.460 --> 00:06:36.770
unparalleled power.
149
00:06:36.770 --> 00:06:39.020
But when you put the two words together,
150
00:06:39.020 --> 00:06:41.420
it describes a power that is designed
151
00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:43.730
to be placed into a vessel
152
00:06:43.730 --> 00:06:46.910
or a power that's designed
to be placed into some kind
153
00:06:46.910 --> 00:06:49.070
of a receptacle.
154
00:06:49.070 --> 00:06:52.940
And we are the vessels,
we are the receptacles.
155
00:06:52.940 --> 00:06:57.170
And according to Paul, in this
verse, God has designed us
156
00:06:57.170 --> 00:07:01.610
to contain his supernatural dunamis power -
157
00:07:01.610 --> 00:07:05.720
his phenomenal unparalleled power.
158
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.410
It has been designed to fit in us. Which means, this power
159
00:07:09.410 --> 00:07:11.330
that I'm describing is not a power
160
00:07:11.330 --> 00:07:13.640
that's just free floating in the universe.
161
00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:18.170
God designed his Holy Ghost
power to be placed in me
162
00:07:18.170 --> 00:07:19.970
and to be placed in you.
163
00:07:19.970 --> 00:07:23.660
We are to be the containers of this power.
164
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:27.200
And notice, he says, be strong in -
165
00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:29.780
in the Lord. In Greek,
166
00:07:29.780 --> 00:07:31.370
this is the locative case.
167
00:07:31.370 --> 00:07:34.130
It means you're locked up in the person of Christ.
168
00:07:34.130 --> 00:07:37.520
The only place you're gonna find this power is in the person
169
00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:42.470
of Christ and this power is in Christ.
170
00:07:42.470 --> 00:07:45.590
Well, according to Ephesians 1, you are in Christ.
171
00:07:45.590 --> 00:07:46.640
In fact, we're told over
172
00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:48.710
and over in Ephesians 1, that you're in Him,
173
00:07:48.710 --> 00:07:51.470
in Him, in Him, in Christ, in Him, in Him.
174
00:07:51.470 --> 00:07:52.580
You are in Christ.
175
00:07:52.580 --> 00:07:55.010
You are locked up in the
person of Jesus Christ.
176
00:07:55.010 --> 00:07:56.450
And now we know from verse 10
177
00:07:56.450 --> 00:08:00.140
that this power is locked up
in the person of Jesus Christ.
178
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.940
So theoretically, you are rubbing elbows with this power
179
00:08:04.940 --> 00:08:07.340
all the time. You're locked up in Christ.
180
00:08:07.340 --> 00:08:11.210
This supernatural phenomenal
power is locked up
181
00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:15.500
inside the person of Christ,
which means all you have
182
00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:18.530
to do is reach out by
faith and embrace it.
183
00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:21.830
Just say - Lord, I'm taking your power.
184
00:08:21.830 --> 00:08:23.480
I'm taking your power.
185
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.690
You know, early in the
ministry, our ministry, Denise
186
00:08:26.690 --> 00:08:29.000
and I were ministering
in a large Pentecostal
187
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.380
denominational church.
188
00:08:31.670 --> 00:08:33.950
And at the end of the
service, I invited people
189
00:08:33.950 --> 00:08:36.050
to come forward who had never been
190
00:08:36.050 --> 00:08:37.160
filled with the Holy Spirit.
191
00:08:37.160 --> 00:08:39.590
And I was shocked at the response
192
00:08:39.590 --> 00:08:43.070
because the altar was filled
from one side all the way
193
00:08:43.070 --> 00:08:45.740
to the other end with people
194
00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:47.900
that had never been filled
with the Holy Spirit.
195
00:08:49.250 --> 00:08:50.570
I was stunned by that.
196
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:52.640
And I went down to the front
197
00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:55.290
and began to lay hands
on them to pray for them
198
00:08:55.290 --> 00:08:56.465
to receive the baptism
199
00:08:56.465 --> 00:08:58.590
and the Holy Spirit to be
filled with the Holy Spirit
200
00:08:58.590 --> 00:09:00.270
and the pastor followed with me
201
00:09:00.270 --> 00:09:02.790
and he said, son, I'll take it from here.
202
00:09:02.790 --> 00:09:06.360
And I listened as he said to each one of them - pray harder.
203
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:08.730
You've gotta teary, you've gotta plead.
204
00:09:08.730 --> 00:09:11.940
He made it such a work, all the flesh
205
00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:13.950
and some of those people had been tearing
206
00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:18.950
and waiting more than 40 years. My friend,
207
00:09:19.020 --> 00:09:21.690
it's not so hard to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit
208
00:09:21.690 --> 00:09:23.010
or to be filled with the Holy Spirit
209
00:09:23.010 --> 00:09:25.980
again. You are in the person of Christ.
210
00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:29.250
And according to Ephesians 6:10, the power
211
00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:32.310
of God is locked up in
the person of Christ.
212
00:09:32.310 --> 00:09:35.610
You are surrounded by this divine power.
213
00:09:35.610 --> 00:09:38.460
You're rubbing elbows with this divine power.
214
00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:42.150
You and the power are locked up in the person of Jesus,
215
00:09:42.150 --> 00:09:45.810
which means all you
have to do is reach out
216
00:09:45.810 --> 00:09:47.160
and take it by faith.
217
00:09:48.150 --> 00:09:50.040
I'm so glad that God has made it easy.
218
00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:53.220
I'm thinking about moments in my own life when Denise
219
00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:56.160
and I are traveling, we're
trying to get to a meeting.
220
00:09:57.180 --> 00:10:00.390
Finally we get there. Our flight has been delayed
221
00:10:00.390 --> 00:10:02.850
so we get there late,
we rush to the meeting.
222
00:10:02.850 --> 00:10:04.380
We're huffing, we're puffing.
223
00:10:04.380 --> 00:10:06.780
I really don't have
time to prepare myself.
224
00:10:06.780 --> 00:10:09.900
And often I think - ay...how am I going to be able
225
00:10:09.900 --> 00:10:12.330
to minister in this condition?
226
00:10:12.330 --> 00:10:14.550
And I go to a place by myself
227
00:10:14.550 --> 00:10:17.760
and I always say, all
right, Lord, I'm in Christ,
228
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.520
the power's in Christ.
229
00:10:20.520 --> 00:10:23.940
I'm late for the meeting. I don't have time to teary.
230
00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:28.410
So Lord, I'm just taking your
power. Fill me right now.
231
00:10:28.410 --> 00:10:31.350
And do you know every time
232
00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:35.730
I receive a fresh infilling of
the Holy Spirit. My friends,
233
00:10:35.730 --> 00:10:38.550
it is yours for the taking.
234
00:10:39.540 --> 00:10:43.110
Now there's the initial baptism in the Holy Spirit, but
235
00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:44.940
after that there are many, many infilling.
236
00:10:44.940 --> 00:10:49.230
For example, in Acts 2, all the people
237
00:10:49.230 --> 00:10:50.250
that were in the upper room, they were
238
00:10:50.250 --> 00:10:51.960
baptized in the Holy Spirit.
239
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:53.340
But do you know that by the time you get
240
00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:57.780
to Acts 4, they received a fresh infilling.
241
00:10:57.780 --> 00:10:59.040
When you get to Acts 5,
242
00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:00.870
there was another fresh infilling.
243
00:11:00.870 --> 00:11:02.550
There's one initial experience
244
00:11:02.550 --> 00:11:05.700
where you're baptized in the Holy Spirit, but
245
00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:06.750
after that, there are many,
246
00:11:06.750 --> 00:11:09.000
many moments when you
receive new in fillings
247
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.560
and new in fillings and new in fillings.
248
00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:15.560
And in fact, part of my daily
routine early in the morning
249
00:11:16.020 --> 00:11:20.820
is to read my Bible and to ask
the Holy Spirit to refill me.
250
00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:23.340
I don't have to plead, I don't have to beg.
251
00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:27.210
I just need to open my heart
and embrace; I am in Christ.
252
00:11:27.210 --> 00:11:30.750
The power of God is in Christ,
and God wants to fill me
253
00:11:30.750 --> 00:11:33.300
and refill me and refill me and refill me.
254
00:11:33.300 --> 00:11:35.760
The power is ours for the taking
255
00:11:35.760 --> 00:11:38.520
and it's yours for the taking.
256
00:11:38.520 --> 00:11:41.010
And now Paul says to his Ephesian readers - Hey,
257
00:11:41.010 --> 00:11:44.040
if you don't remember anything
else, please remember this.
258
00:11:44.040 --> 00:11:48.450
God has created his power
to be placed inside you.
259
00:11:48.450 --> 00:11:50.760
My friends be filled
260
00:11:50.760 --> 00:11:54.160
with this divine power in the Lord.
261
00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:59.140
And then he adds - and in the power of his might.
262
00:11:59.140 --> 00:12:01.750
The word, power, is the Greek word kratos.
263
00:12:03.280 --> 00:12:07.270
The word kratos, as it is used in scripture, describes
264
00:12:07.270 --> 00:12:09.400
demonstrated or eruptive
265
00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:13.810
power. It's not just theoretical power that you hear about,
266
00:12:13.810 --> 00:12:16.300
you can see this power, you can feel this power.
267
00:12:16.300 --> 00:12:20.560
For example: when Jesus was raised from the dead,
268
00:12:20.560 --> 00:12:23.890
the word kratos is used to describe the power
269
00:12:23.890 --> 00:12:25.480
that raised him from the dead.
270
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.880
The soldiers that were guarding the tomb -
271
00:12:28.900 --> 00:12:30.940
they didn't just theoretically believe in the power,
272
00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:35.080
they felt the power. It was eruptive, it was demonstrated.
273
00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:38.830
And now we find that when we receive a fresh
274
00:12:38.830 --> 00:12:41.710
infilling of the Holy Spirit, the power
275
00:12:41.710 --> 00:12:44.950
of the Holy Spirit comes in
us, not just to set in us,
276
00:12:44.950 --> 00:12:46.570
but it wants to manifest.
277
00:12:46.570 --> 00:12:50.260
It wants to demonstrate,
it wants to erupt,
278
00:12:50.260 --> 00:12:53.560
and it erupts his signs and
wonders and mighty deeds.
279
00:12:53.560 --> 00:12:55.840
God wants to heal people
through your hands.
280
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.640
He wants demons to be cast out
281
00:12:57.640 --> 00:12:59.800
with your authoritative voice.
282
00:12:59.800 --> 00:13:01.360
My friend signs and wonders are
283
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.340
to follow you everywhere you go.
284
00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:05.290
And when the power comes in,
285
00:13:05.290 --> 00:13:07.930
the power immediately wants to kratos.
286
00:13:07.930 --> 00:13:12.310
It wants to manifest in an
eruptive demonstrated way.
287
00:13:13.690 --> 00:13:15.040
But then the verse goes on to say -
288
00:13:15.040 --> 00:13:18.130
and in the power of his might.
289
00:13:18.130 --> 00:13:19.990
The word might is a Greek word, ischus.
290
00:13:19.990 --> 00:13:21.700
This is very important. The word, ischus,
291
00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:24.910
usually in the King James version is translated
292
00:13:24.910 --> 00:13:27.850
as the word might, but it's
actually the word which
293
00:13:27.850 --> 00:13:31.960
describes a mighty individual: a mighty man
294
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:33.910
or a man that is muscle bound.
295
00:13:33.910 --> 00:13:38.380
If you've ever seen muscle builders on television, people
296
00:13:38.380 --> 00:13:40.360
who give themselves to bodybuilding,
297
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.760
they're strapping with muscles.
298
00:13:42.760 --> 00:13:44.770
They're muscles are enormous.
299
00:13:44.770 --> 00:13:47.920
When they flex their arms, you're just amazed at the size
300
00:13:47.920 --> 00:13:49.720
of their muscles.
301
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:53.290
This word might, the Greek word ischus, would describe
302
00:13:53.290 --> 00:13:57.340
that: a mighty man or a man that is muscle bound.
303
00:13:57.340 --> 00:13:59.620
But notice in this verse it says - be strong in the Lord,
304
00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:03.580
in the power of his might.
305
00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:06.190
It's talking about God's might.
306
00:14:06.190 --> 00:14:11.140
And here, Paul pictures God as a mighty man,
307
00:14:11.140 --> 00:14:13.330
a man bound with muscles.
308
00:14:13.330 --> 00:14:15.760
And I always figuratively say -
309
00:14:15.760 --> 00:14:19.150
If you could see the right arm of God, what kind
310
00:14:19.150 --> 00:14:20.320
of arm would he have?
311
00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:25.060
He would truly be - Mr. Universe.
312
00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:28.240
There's no one in the universe to compare
313
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.810
with a muscular mighty ability of God.
314
00:14:31.810 --> 00:14:34.030
God just flexed his muscle
315
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.030
and he destroyed the Egyptian empire.
316
00:14:37.030 --> 00:14:40.390
He flexed his muscle and the Red Sea was parted.
317
00:14:40.390 --> 00:14:44.470
He flexed his muscle and Jesus was raised from the dead.
318
00:14:44.470 --> 00:14:46.120
And now we find that when the power
319
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.250
of the Holy Spirit comes in us,
320
00:14:48.250 --> 00:14:52.400
it is such an overcoming conquering power
321
00:14:52.400 --> 00:14:54.860
because it connects us
322
00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:58.100
to the muscular abilities of God.
323
00:14:58.100 --> 00:15:00.980
This is why we need to be
filled with the Holy Spirit.
324
00:15:00.980 --> 00:15:03.860
Without the power of the Holy
Spirit, we are just weaklings.
325
00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:06.210
Even though we're saved, we're puny, we're weaklings,
326
00:15:06.210 --> 00:15:07.218
but when we.
327
00:15:07.218 --> 00:15:09.890
When we receive the
empowerment of the spirit,
328
00:15:09.890 --> 00:15:14.120
it somehow divinely connects
us to the muscular ability
329
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.900
of God so that when we as mere
human beings pray the name
330
00:15:17.900 --> 00:15:20.420
of Jesus, God flexes
331
00:15:20.420 --> 00:15:23.570
his muscle - power flows in us through us.
332
00:15:24.410 --> 00:15:28.280
And that power is eruptive and it is demonstrative.
333
00:15:28.280 --> 00:15:32.630
You can see the power right in front of you.
334
00:15:32.630 --> 00:15:34.550
You can drive back hell
335
00:15:34.550 --> 00:15:37.130
because of the power that I'm describing.
336
00:15:37.130 --> 00:15:40.520
But then you go on to the next verse
337
00:15:40.520 --> 00:15:42.650
and Paul says - Put on the whole armor of God.
338
00:15:42.650 --> 00:15:44.420
The word - put on - guess what?
339
00:15:46.130 --> 00:15:48.650
It's also the Greek word enduo
340
00:15:48.650 --> 00:15:51.620
and it tells us how we put
on the whole armor of God.
341
00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:52.670
You know, some people get up
342
00:15:52.670 --> 00:15:56.150
and every morning they go through gyrations where they say,
343
00:15:56.150 --> 00:15:57.830
well, okay, I'm gonna put on my
344
00:15:57.830 --> 00:15:59.180
breastplate of righteousness.
345
00:15:59.180 --> 00:16:01.580
Okay, now I'm gonna put
on my helmet of salvation.
346
00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:04.190
Okay, I'm gonna put on
my loin belt of truth.
347
00:16:04.190 --> 00:16:07.280
And they go through all these
movements and gyrations,
348
00:16:07.280 --> 00:16:10.250
but my friends, that is
just a mental exercise.
349
00:16:10.250 --> 00:16:14.570
According to verse 11, what
puts the whole armor on you
350
00:16:14.570 --> 00:16:17.090
is when you've received
an endowment of power.
351
00:16:17.090 --> 00:16:20.600
Put on is the same word translated
352
00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:24.470
strong in verse 10, the Greek word enduo,
353
00:16:24.470 --> 00:16:26.810
which means when you are endued with power,
354
00:16:26.810 --> 00:16:31.810
when the power of God hits
you, it is the power of God
355
00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:33.830
that puts a helmet of salvation on you.
356
00:16:33.830 --> 00:16:36.200
It is the power of God that puts a breastplate
357
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:37.580
of righteousness on you.
358
00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:40.490
It is the power of God that puts a loin belt of truth on you
359
00:16:40.490 --> 00:16:42.650
and a shield of faith and gives you grieves
360
00:16:42.650 --> 00:16:45.860
and shoes of piece and puts a sword in your hand
361
00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:47.330
and a shield in your hand.
362
00:16:47.330 --> 00:16:50.420
It is the power of God
that totally outfits you.
363
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.500
And as long as you're
walking in the power of God,
364
00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:58.820
you are totally outfitted
with all the weaponry you need
365
00:16:58.820 --> 00:17:01.070
to put the devil on the run.
366
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.440
But the moment you walk away from the power of God,
367
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.380
the weaponry begins to fall off of you.
368
00:17:09.380 --> 00:17:11.390
And that's what happened to the Ephesians.
369
00:17:11.390 --> 00:17:15.950
We see that in verse 13, where Paul says -
370
00:17:15.950 --> 00:17:18.740
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor
371
00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:21.842
of God. Take unto you, is the Greek word analabete.
372
00:17:21.842 --> 00:17:25.790
The word anal, means repeat.
Do what you used to do.
373
00:17:25.790 --> 00:17:27.890
And the word labete means to take.
374
00:17:27.890 --> 00:17:29.180
When you put the two words together,
375
00:17:29.180 --> 00:17:30.350
it means - take unto you.
376
00:17:30.350 --> 00:17:34.160
Do it like you used to do; reach down to pick up the armor,
377
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.960
which means they were not wearing the armor,
378
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.690
the armor was laying around their feet.
379
00:17:38.690 --> 00:17:40.190
And now Paul says - hey, hey, hey.
380
00:17:40.190 --> 00:17:42.560
Based on the instruction that I've just given you,
381
00:17:42.560 --> 00:17:45.140
I'm telling you how to put the armor of God back on -
382
00:17:45.140 --> 00:17:47.570
reach down, pick it up, put it back on.
383
00:17:48.620 --> 00:17:52.140
And again, you don't put on the armor by just mentally going
384
00:17:52.140 --> 00:17:53.880
through an exercise.
385
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:55.620
Then now I'm gonna pick up my shield of faith.
386
00:17:55.620 --> 00:17:57.240
Okay, now I'm gonna put on my helmet of salvation.
387
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.150
Now I'm gonna put on my breastplate - no, no, no, no, no.
388
00:18:00.150 --> 00:18:04.890
When you're endoued with power, according to verse 11, it is
389
00:18:04.890 --> 00:18:08.640
that endowment of power that puts the helmet on you,
390
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.190
that puts the weaponry on you. The power of God,
391
00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:13.800
when it hits you, not only does it fill you,
392
00:18:16.110 --> 00:18:19.410
it begins to address you with all the weaponry you need
393
00:18:19.410 --> 00:18:22.200
to put the enemy on the run.
394
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.050
That is just amazing.
395
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:29.160
And do you see why it's
not optional for you
396
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.710
to be baptized in the Holy
Spirit and to be refilled
397
00:18:31.710 --> 00:18:33.960
and refilled and refilled and refilled?
398
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.270
The only way you're gonna
consistently walk in the power
399
00:18:36.270 --> 00:18:37.500
of God and in the weaponry
400
00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:40.980
of God is if you are being consistently filled and refilled
401
00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:42.600
and refilled and refilled.
402
00:18:42.600 --> 00:18:44.490
And as long as the power of God is hitting you
403
00:18:44.490 --> 00:18:47.550
and filling you, you're gonna be dressed
404
00:18:47.550 --> 00:18:48.750
in spiritual weaponry
405
00:18:48.750 --> 00:18:53.750
and you are going to have within you power that conquers:
406
00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:57.510
power that overcomes: the ability
407
00:18:57.510 --> 00:19:02.510
to drive back the forces of hell itself.
408
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.630
Wow! Now go back to verse 10.
409
00:19:06.630 --> 00:19:09.750
And once again, Paul says - Finally to the last
410
00:19:09.750 --> 00:19:11.760
and most important point - Hey,
411
00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:15.390
if you can't remember anything else, don't forget this.
412
00:19:15.390 --> 00:19:18.450
My brethren, be strong - enduo.
413
00:19:18.450 --> 00:19:22.455
Receive an indument of divine power -
414
00:19:22.455 --> 00:19:23.970
enduo.
415
00:19:23.970 --> 00:19:26.100
The word en and the word duo. The word en means
416
00:19:26.100 --> 00:19:28.560
inside like the place in a receptacle
417
00:19:28.560 --> 00:19:32.970
or in a container. The word duo from dunamis: explosive,
418
00:19:32.970 --> 00:19:34.770
unparalleled power.
419
00:19:34.770 --> 00:19:39.000
Paul is declaring God has fashioned you to hold the power
420
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:40.735
that I'm talking about.
421
00:19:40.735 --> 00:19:45.735
And it's in the Lord: this power's in Christ.
422
00:19:45.990 --> 00:19:48.870
It's not over there
somewhere, it's in Christ.
423
00:19:48.870 --> 00:19:51.990
That's the only place you're
gonna find this power.
424
00:19:51.990 --> 00:19:54.300
And you are in Christ.
425
00:19:54.300 --> 00:19:57.420
You are locked up in the person of Jesus,
426
00:19:57.420 --> 00:20:00.840
which means God has made this so simple.
427
00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:03.330
We don't have to beat ourselves, we don't have to beg,
428
00:20:03.330 --> 00:20:05.040
we don't have to plead, we don't have to teary.
429
00:20:06.930 --> 00:20:08.910
All we have to do is say - Hey Lord,
430
00:20:10.830 --> 00:20:12.870
I'm in need of a fresh infilling.
431
00:20:14.340 --> 00:20:15.930
I'm dealing with some rough stuff
432
00:20:17.040 --> 00:20:20.310
and I need to know that I'm
walking in divine weaponry.
433
00:20:20.310 --> 00:20:24.600
I need power in me to push
back the forces of hell.
434
00:20:26.430 --> 00:20:30.090
And Jesus says - Alright, open your heart,
435
00:20:30.090 --> 00:20:33.360
open your arms and receive.
436
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:35.430
It's that easy.
437
00:20:35.430 --> 00:20:36.840
God has made it that easy
438
00:20:36.840 --> 00:20:39.000
because he knew
439
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:40.980
that we couldn't do it
if it was complicated.
440
00:20:42.060 --> 00:20:45.240
So right now, all you
have to do is say, Lord,
441
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:46.900
I take your power.
442
00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:50.140
Fill me, fill me. Fill me anew.
443
00:20:50.140 --> 00:20:52.390
If you've never been baptized
in the Holy Spirit right now,
444
00:20:52.390 --> 00:20:56.980
say, Jesus, baptize me in the Holy Spirit. He will fill you
445
00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:58.270
with divine power.
446
00:20:58.270 --> 00:21:01.030
You are made for it,
447
00:21:01.030 --> 00:21:04.270
and that power will begin to
operate mightily through you.
448
00:21:04.270 --> 00:21:07.600
It will connect you to God's
mighty muscular ability
449
00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:10.810
and it will dress you with the
spiritual weaponry You need
450
00:21:10.810 --> 00:21:13.780
to put the enemy on the run.
451
00:21:13.780 --> 00:21:16.810
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
452
00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:26.260
This is Rick Renner
453
00:21:26.260 --> 00:21:28.690
and somebody has asked a great question -
454
00:21:28.690 --> 00:21:32.200
Why do we have 4-different gospels
455
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:34.780
and why is it necessary to read all 4 of them?
456
00:21:34.780 --> 00:21:37.660
Well, they were written by 4-different individuals
457
00:21:37.660 --> 00:21:41.170
speaking from their memories
with the exception of Mark.
458
00:21:41.170 --> 00:21:43.690
And Mark was actually transcribing for Peter.
459
00:21:43.690 --> 00:21:46.300
Peter was dictating. Mark was writing.
460
00:21:46.300 --> 00:21:48.100
We call it the Gospel of Mark,
461
00:21:48.100 --> 00:21:50.200
but really it is the gospel of Peter,
462
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.840
but we call them Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
463
00:21:52.840 --> 00:21:55.780
And all 4 of these accounts basically
464
00:21:55.780 --> 00:21:57.130
tell the same stories.
465
00:21:57.130 --> 00:22:00.160
Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called the synoptic gospels
466
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.990
because they are nearly the same.
467
00:22:01.990 --> 00:22:04.060
But when you put the 4 together
468
00:22:04.060 --> 00:22:06.970
and piece all the pieces together, you begin
469
00:22:06.970 --> 00:22:08.770
to see the full picture.
470
00:22:08.770 --> 00:22:11.380
Every gospel carries a little different flavor.
471
00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:13.120
There are no contradictions.
472
00:22:13.120 --> 00:22:15.910
But when you read one and the
next and the next and the next
473
00:22:15.910 --> 00:22:19.030
and compare them and compose them together,
474
00:22:19.030 --> 00:22:22.330
it gives you the full story of Jesus life.
475
00:22:22.330 --> 00:22:24.400
And my friends, they are wonderful.
476
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:28.780
So please give yourself to reading all 4 Gospels.
477
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.670
In his new series, Victory That Overcomes the World,
478
00:22:33.670 --> 00:22:37.420

479
00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:40.000

It's the first week of the year.

with yours, for Jesus to do something wonderful and he will.
518
00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:40.280

I want you to put your hand on your heart.
520
00:24:41.750 --> 00:24:44.960
If you have never received
the baptism in the Holy
521
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:46.550
Spirit, this is your moment.
522
00:24:46.550 --> 00:24:47.930
It's not hard,
523
00:24:47.930 --> 00:24:50.990
it's easy to receive. If you've been baptized in the Holy
524
00:24:50.990 --> 00:24:52.970
Spirit, but you need a fresh end filling,
525
00:24:52.970 --> 00:24:54.590
this is your moment
526
00:24:54.590 --> 00:24:57.200
to receive a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit.
527
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:58.580
So put your hand on your heart,
528
00:24:58.580 --> 00:24:59.990
put your other hand up into the air
529
00:24:59.990 --> 00:25:01.760
and get ready to receive.
530
00:25:01.760 --> 00:25:05.480
Father, in the name of Jesus, it is your will
531
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.750
that we function in this overcoming power.
532
00:25:08.750 --> 00:25:11.030
And right now, Lord, I pray for you
533
00:25:11.030 --> 00:25:13.400
to baptize in the Holy Spirit, my friend
534
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.920
that's never been baptized
in the Holy Spirit.
535
00:25:17.330 --> 00:25:18.590
And for my precious friend
536
00:25:18.590 --> 00:25:21.920
that needs a freshen filling
Jesus, I am asking you
537
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.970
to gloriously refill them with
the Holy Spirit from the top
538
00:25:25.970 --> 00:25:28.220
of their head to the soles of their feet
539
00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:31.970
that demonstrated eruptive power would operate through them
540
00:25:31.970 --> 00:25:34.880
and they would be totally outfitted
541
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:37.820
in the weaponry which you provide for us.
542
00:25:37.820 --> 00:25:40.970
In Jesus' mighty name - Amen.
543
00:25:42.170 --> 00:25:46.820
My friend, overcoming power is yours to claim.
544
00:25:46.820 --> 00:25:49.340
It's yours right now. Wow.
545
00:25:49.340 --> 00:25:51.860
I'm out of time, but I'll
see you in the next program.
546
00:25:51.860 --> 00:25:54.530
But remember, Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
547
00:25:54.530 --> 00:25:57.440
of a king is, there is power."
548
00:25:58.280 --> 00:25:59.690
