00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:03.990
This program is made possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:08.040
of the God called partners of Renner ministries.
3
00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.280
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:14.850
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:16.830
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:20.130
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.570
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:26.130
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.920
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.190
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:36.090
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.170
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:42.450
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:42.450 --> 00:00:43.470
and I wanna say thank you
15
00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:44.940
for letting me come into your space.
16
00:00:44.940 --> 00:00:46.410
I know you've got a lot
17
00:00:46.410 --> 00:00:48.540
of things you could be doing right now,
18
00:00:48.540 --> 00:00:51.720
but you are spending this time
with me means a lot to me,
19
00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:53.700
and I pray it's gonna mean a lot to you.
20
00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:56.610
And today we're gonna continue talking about - The
21
00:00:56.610 --> 00:00:57.960
Spirit Filled Life.
22
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.015
When I was growing up, I did not understand
23
00:01:01.015 --> 00:01:05.940
that God really wanted us to
live a spirit-filled life.
24
00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:08.940 line:15%
Maybe that preaching was
happening in our church,
25
00:01:08.940 --> 00:01:10.320 line:15%
but I didn't hear it.
26
00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:15.000 line:15%
I just did not understand the
wonderful spirit filled life
27
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.220 line:15%
that God had waiting for me.
28
00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:21.240 line:15%
But in 1974, I was filled
with the Holy Spirit
29
00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:23.280 line:15%
and that changed everything.
30
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.250 line:15%
I was inducted into the spirit-filled life,
31
00:01:26.250 --> 00:01:28.230 line:15%
and I've been living that life ever since.
32
00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:29.940 line:15%
And by the way, if
you've never been filled
33
00:01:29.940 --> 00:01:32.910 line:15%
with the Holy Spirit, call the
number that is on the screen.
34
00:01:32.910 --> 00:01:36.600 line:15%
We would love to pray for
you to receive the infilling
35
00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:40.890 line:15%
of the Holy Spirit and to step
into the spirit-filled life.
36
00:01:40.890 --> 00:01:44.070 line:15%
But this week I'm doing a series called, The Spirit-Filled
37
00:01:44.070 --> 00:01:46.650 line:15%
Life, and we're covering very
many features about the work
38
00:01:46.650 --> 00:01:48.540 line:15%
of the Holy Spirit in our life.
39
00:01:48.540 --> 00:01:50.310 line:15%
It comes with a study guide so
40
00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:51.600 line:15%
that you can read it while you're seen
41
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:53.130
or hearing the material.
42
00:01:53.130 --> 00:01:55.860 line:15%
And we're also offering you my book,
43
00:01:55.860 --> 00:01:58.620 line:15%
which is a 31 day devotional,
44
00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:01.650 line:15%
and it is called My Spirit-Empowered Day.
45
00:02:01.650 --> 00:02:05.730 line:15%
And it's how you can step into
the spirit empowered life.
46
00:02:05.730 --> 00:02:08.550 line:15%
This book will walk you right into it.
47
00:02:08.550 --> 00:02:10.200 line:15%
It is simple to read,
48
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:11.760 line:15%
and my friends, it will really make
49
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:12.780 line:15%
a difference in your life.
50
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:15.180 line:15%
It would also be a great gift for you to give
51
00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:17.850 line:15%
to someone else, but you can order all these things
52
00:02:17.850 --> 00:02:21.330 line:15%
by going online or by giving us a call.
53
00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:22.950
And when you reach out to us,
54
00:02:22.950 --> 00:02:25.170
please let us know how to pray for you.
55
00:02:25.170 --> 00:02:28.830
We are waiting for the phone to ring right now,
56
00:02:28.830 --> 00:02:32.190
and I really mean that. We're waiting for the phone to ring
57
00:02:32.190 --> 00:02:35.760
because we are here to pray for you
58
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:39.060
and we're very serious about
the business of praying
59
00:02:39.060 --> 00:02:41.310
for those that reach out to us.
60
00:02:41.310 --> 00:02:42.780
Maybe you'd rather send an email,
61
00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:45.390
just write the email address on the screen
62
00:02:45.390 --> 00:02:46.680
and whether you call
63
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.020
or whether you write, we're
gonna release our faith
64
00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:51.240
and Jesus is gonna move.
65
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.420
Jeremiah 33:3 says - Call unto me.
66
00:02:54.420 --> 00:02:56.700
I'll hear you, I'll answer
you, and I'll show you great
67
00:02:56.700 --> 00:02:59.260
and mighty things. With you,
68
00:02:59.260 --> 00:03:03.010
we will call out to God in faith - that's important.
69
00:03:03.010 --> 00:03:06.010
We will pray scripturally - that is important.
70
00:03:06.010 --> 00:03:07.630
God will hear us.
71
00:03:07.630 --> 00:03:09.160
God will move
72
00:03:09.160 --> 00:03:13.000
and he'll do something really mighty in your life.
73
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.590
Now, I want you to reach for your Bible
74
00:03:14.590 --> 00:03:17.350
because we always use the Bible in this program.
75
00:03:17.350 --> 00:03:19.360
And today we're gonna talk about the fact
76
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.330
that the Holy Spirit is our seal
77
00:03:22.330 --> 00:03:26.830
and inside us, he's
earnestly yearning for us.
78
00:03:26.830 --> 00:03:29.020
But first I want to share something
79
00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:31.000
that someone wrote to me.
80
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.470
It says - Brother Renner
81
00:03:32.470 --> 00:03:36.190
and all your helpers in the Lord, I thank the Lord
82
00:03:36.190 --> 00:03:39.280
for enabling me to be
a part of your ministry
83
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.670
and all that he's provided for you to do.
84
00:03:42.670 --> 00:03:44.740
Thank you for all your prayers
85
00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:48.790
and for your prayer ministers
that are so faithful to stand
86
00:03:48.790 --> 00:03:50.920
with us in prayer.
87
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:52.900
Well, I wanna say "thank you" for that note.
88
00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:56.170
We're very serious about
standing with you in prayer.
89
00:03:56.170 --> 00:03:58.990
And again, if you've got
a prayer need, we want
90
00:03:58.990 --> 00:04:00.520
to hear from you too.
91
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.000 line:15%
But open your Bible to Ephesians 1,
92
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.230 line:15%
and today we're gonna go to one
93
00:04:05.230 --> 00:04:07.750 line:15%
of my favorite verses about the work
94
00:04:07.750 --> 00:04:09.220 line:15%
of the Holy Spirit in our life.
95
00:04:09.220 --> 00:04:11.320 line:15%
Are you ready? Let's go.
96
00:04:11.320 --> 00:04:14.440 line:15%
If Ephesians 1:13,
97
00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:16.540 line:15%
where the apostle Paul is writing
98
00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:19.210
and he says, speaking to the Ephesians -
99
00:04:19.210 --> 00:04:21.190
In whom ye also trusted,
100
00:04:21.190 --> 00:04:24.550
after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel
101
00:04:24.550 --> 00:04:27.370
of your salvation, in whom also
102
00:04:27.370 --> 00:04:32.110
after you believed you were sealed with
103
00:04:32.110 --> 00:04:34.780
that Holy Spirit of promise.
104
00:04:34.780 --> 00:04:37.660 line:15%
I'm gonna focus on that word, sealed.
105
00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:40.090 line:15%
And in Greek it is the word, sphragidzo.
106
00:04:40.090 --> 00:04:42.370 line:15%
It's a very difficult word to pronounce,
107
00:04:42.370 --> 00:04:44.200 line:15%
but it's a very important word.
108
00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:46.180 line:15%
This word, sealed, pictures -
109
00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:50.200 line:15%
listen to this - a sealed placed on a package
110
00:04:50.200 --> 00:04:54.400 line:15%
after the product has been thoroughly examined
111
00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:58.150 line:15%
and inspected to make sure it was fully intact
112
00:04:58.150 --> 00:05:00.430 line:15%
and complete.
113
00:05:00.430 --> 00:05:04.060 line:15%
The seal was proof, proof
114
00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:07.120 line:15%
that the product was impeccable.
115
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.780 line:15%
And normally such seals bore
the insignia of a wealthy
116
00:05:10.780 --> 00:05:15.220 line:15%
or famous person, which meant
this package was to be treated
117
00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:17.170 line:15%
with tender care.
118
00:05:17.170 --> 00:05:20.260 line:15%
The seal affirmed who the owner was
119
00:05:20.260 --> 00:05:23.470 line:15%
and guaranteed the package would make it
120
00:05:23.470 --> 00:05:26.380 line:15%
to its final destination.
121
00:05:26.380 --> 00:05:28.960 line:15%
All of that is in this word, sphragidzo,
122
00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:31.720 line:15%
which here is translated in Ephesians 1:13
123
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.160 line:15%
as the word, sealed.
124
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:34.210
Now, let's go back in time
125
00:05:34.210 --> 00:05:35.920
and let me give you a little history.
126
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:37.870
In Greek and Roman times
127
00:05:37.870 --> 00:05:41.530
and still in certain places
today, if a package was
128
00:05:41.530 --> 00:05:44.860
to be dispatched to another location, first
129
00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:48.670
it went through a series of investigations to make sure
130
00:05:48.670 --> 00:05:52.060
that the contents were not flawed, not broken,
131
00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:56.140
and not shattered. Everything had to be in order.
132
00:05:56.140 --> 00:06:00.620
The sender would examine every single piece of the contents
133
00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:03.950
to make sure each part of it was whole and intact.
134
00:06:03.950 --> 00:06:05.420
And this meant the process
135
00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:07.670
of examining every little fragment
136
00:06:07.670 --> 00:06:11.720
of the context was
extraordinarily important
137
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.600
for the one charge with
sealing the document
138
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.520
or sealing the package.
139
00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:20.060
And finally, if everything was
deemed to be whole and intact
140
00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:24.290
and impeccable, then the sender would pour hot wax onto the
141
00:06:24.290 --> 00:06:27.500
package or onto the fold of the document,
142
00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:30.092
and then they would in seal it with the insignia of
143
00:06:30.092 --> 00:06:31.866
the owner, signifying
144
00:06:31.866 --> 00:06:34.582
everything is complete, everything is perfect,
145
00:06:34.582 --> 00:06:36.774
and therefore it can be dispatched.
146
00:06:36.774 --> 00:06:40.430
And this package was paid for
147
00:06:40.430 --> 00:06:42.710
with such an expensive postage
148
00:06:42.710 --> 00:06:46.910
that it guaranteed the package
was gonna make it all the way
149
00:06:46.910 --> 00:06:48.680
to its destination.
150
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.020
And when people saw the insignia
151
00:06:51.020 --> 00:06:55.280
and saw who was the owner,
it was a signal to everyone,
152
00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:57.440
don't mess with this package
153
00:06:57.440 --> 00:07:00.230
because this package belongs to someone
154
00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:05.230
very, very important. Now, did you hear all of that?
155
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.150
Now, let's take that into Ephesians 1:13:
156
00:07:09.020 --> 00:07:10.970
In whom also you trusted,
157
00:07:10.970 --> 00:07:13.220
after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel
158
00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:16.880
of your salvation, in whom also after you believed -
159
00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:19.400
after you believed, you were sealed,
160
00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:21.560
sphragidzo - that's the same Greek word -
161
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:23.420
with the Holy Spirit of promise.
162
00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:25.280
And here's what it means.
163
00:07:25.280 --> 00:07:29.750
After you believe God sealed
you with the Holy Spirit
164
00:07:29.750 --> 00:07:34.250
of promise and the
insignia on the package is
165
00:07:34.250 --> 00:07:37.160
important for several reasons: it bears the name
166
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.740
of God himself.
167
00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:42.650
It is the insignia of God on us.
168
00:07:42.650 --> 00:07:47.090
The Holy Spirit himself is the
seal stating that we belong
169
00:07:47.090 --> 00:07:51.200
to God and people better not mess with us
170
00:07:51.200 --> 00:07:53.180
because we belong to the Lord.
171
00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:57.830
Wow. No one would dare break such an insignia
172
00:07:57.830 --> 00:07:59.750
or disturb the contents,
173
00:07:59.750 --> 00:08:03.440
especially if the owner was
a high ranking individual.
174
00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:06.500
And likewise, when we have received the insignia,
175
00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:09.560
the impression, the seal of the Holy Spirit, it is an alert
176
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.430
that no one is to mess with us. My friends,
177
00:08:13.430 --> 00:08:15.860
this is so very powerful
178
00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:18.050
and I want to give you the RIV
179
00:08:18.050 --> 00:08:20.810
of Ephesians 1:13.
180
00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:22.970
Listen to this.
181
00:08:22.970 --> 00:08:25.310
This is the RIV, which is the Renner Interpretive
182
00:08:25.310 --> 00:08:26.510
Version of this verse.
183
00:08:26.510 --> 00:08:29.630
It's not a translation, it is an interpretation.
184
00:08:29.630 --> 00:08:33.890 line:15%
But it says - When you were placed in Christ,
185
00:08:33.890 --> 00:08:36.290 line:15%
God stamped you with a special seal.
186
00:08:37.190 --> 00:08:38.900 line:15%
Praise God!
187
00:08:38.900 --> 00:08:41.000 line:15%
God stamped you with a special seal
188
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:46.000 line:15%
and embossed it so deeply that it cannot be broken,
189
00:08:46.130 --> 00:08:50.930 line:15%
erased, rubbed out, wiped out, deleted or removed.
190
00:08:50.930 --> 00:08:55.740 line:15%
That unbreakable seal is the Holy Spirit.
191
00:08:55.740 --> 00:08:59.670 line:15%
Wow! And once you were stamped with him,
192
00:08:59.670 --> 00:09:02.370 line:15%
it meant you had God's approval.
193
00:09:02.370 --> 00:09:04.650 line:15%
He examined the contents of your heart
194
00:09:04.650 --> 00:09:07.470 line:15%
and found nothing flawed or inferior.
195
00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:10.260 line:15%
And because everything was
in order, he stamped you
196
00:09:10.260 --> 00:09:13.950 line:15%
with the Holy Spirit, which
is his seal of approval.
197
00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:18.060 line:15%
Anyone who has this stamp is
headed for special treatment.
198
00:09:18.060 --> 00:09:19.980 line:15%
This seal means you belong to God
199
00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:24.150 line:15%
and no one is to interfere
with you as a package.
200
00:09:24.150 --> 00:09:28.020 line:15%
This Holy Spirit stamp
means the postage is prepaid
201
00:09:28.020 --> 00:09:31.020 line:15%
to get you all the way to
your ultimate destination.
202
00:09:31.020 --> 00:09:33.540 line:15%
That means you can be sure
that once your journey
203
00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:37.500 line:15%
with the Lord begins, you're
gonna make it all the way to
204
00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:41.340 line:15%
where God wants you to go.
205
00:09:43.260 --> 00:09:47.070
Now, in that interpretation,
there are so many revelations.
206
00:09:47.070 --> 00:09:50.070
You know, some people see themselves as damaged products.
207
00:09:50.070 --> 00:09:51.510
I'm just a damaged product.
208
00:09:51.510 --> 00:09:55.170
I'm just a flawed product that God's trying to use.
209
00:09:55.170 --> 00:09:58.440
Not according to this verse. If you've been stamped
210
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.030
with the Holy Spirit, if you've been sealed
211
00:10:00.030 --> 00:10:03.810
with the Holy Spirit, after you believe God looked at you,
212
00:10:03.810 --> 00:10:06.810
he examined you, he looked at all the contents
213
00:10:06.810 --> 00:10:09.150
of your heart: your character, your whole being,
214
00:10:09.150 --> 00:10:10.920
it doesn't matter how broken, how flawed,
215
00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:12.660
how messed up you were in the past,
216
00:10:12.660 --> 00:10:17.660
when you got saved, you became a brand new creature.
217
00:10:17.880 --> 00:10:21.570
Not a refurbished creature, not a fixed creature,
218
00:10:21.570 --> 00:10:24.090
not a better version of who you used to be:
219
00:10:24.090 --> 00:10:26.370
you became brand spanking new.
220
00:10:26.370 --> 00:10:30.780
And in fact, you were so
impeccable that God sealed you
221
00:10:30.780 --> 00:10:33.060
with the Holy Spirit as the proof
222
00:10:33.060 --> 00:10:36.540
that everything was in order.
223
00:10:36.540 --> 00:10:38.430
And I know that sometimes you may feel
224
00:10:38.430 --> 00:10:40.560
that life is a little rough
225
00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:42.060
and you hit some bumps along the way
226
00:10:42.060 --> 00:10:43.230
and you don't know if you're gonna make
227
00:10:43.230 --> 00:10:44.460
it to where you need to go.
228
00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:46.740
But according to this
verse, if you've been sealed
229
00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:48.630
with the Holy Spirit,
230
00:10:48.630 --> 00:10:52.710
that Holy Spirit stamp
means the postage is prepaid
231
00:10:52.710 --> 00:10:55.320
to get you all the way to
your ultimate destination.
232
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.740
And that means you can be sure that once your journey
233
00:10:58.740 --> 00:11:02.040
with the Lord begins, you're going to make it all the way to
234
00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:04.650
where God wants you to go.
235
00:11:06.270 --> 00:11:09.060
So rather than badger yourself, you should wrap your arms
236
00:11:09.060 --> 00:11:10.680
around yourself
237
00:11:10.680 --> 00:11:15.360
and say - Wow! I've been stamped with the Holy Spirit.
238
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.850
That means everything is in order.
239
00:11:17.850 --> 00:11:21.270
No one is to mess with me,
including the devil himself.
240
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:22.710
When he sees the insignia
241
00:11:22.710 --> 00:11:25.860
of the spirit pressed into
my life, it is a warning
242
00:11:25.860 --> 00:11:28.950
that no one is to mess
with this personal package
243
00:11:28.950 --> 00:11:30.840
and the posters has been prepaid
244
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.690
to guarantee I'm gonna make it.
245
00:11:33.690 --> 00:11:36.300
I'm gonna make it all the way to the end.
246
00:11:36.300 --> 00:11:39.750
All of that is in that word, sealed,
247
00:11:40.650 --> 00:11:42.780
and there's such comfort in that.
248
00:11:42.780 --> 00:11:45.090
But I want to tell you something else.
249
00:11:45.090 --> 00:11:47.640
When the Holy Spirit came into your life,
250
00:11:47.640 --> 00:11:50.190
not only did he come as a seal to guarantee
251
00:11:50.190 --> 00:11:53.770
that everything was in order, he came in you
252
00:11:53.770 --> 00:11:56.050
to permanently dwell,
253
00:11:56.050 --> 00:11:58.030
which means the Holy
Spirit is not a visitor,
254
00:11:58.030 --> 00:12:00.100
he is a permanent end-dweller.
255
00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:03.010
He came in you to permanently abide.
256
00:12:03.010 --> 00:12:06.940
And we see this in James 4:5,
257
00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:08.590
where James is writing
258
00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:12.310
and James says - The spirit that dwells in us lusteth
259
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:17.530
to envy. The 1st thing that James says
260
00:12:17.530 --> 00:12:19.660
about the Holy Spirit in us is
261
00:12:19.660 --> 00:12:23.200
that the Holy Spirit dwelleth in us.
262
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.810
He dwelleth in us.
263
00:12:25.810 --> 00:12:28.030
In fact, you should just say that out loud -
264
00:12:28.030 --> 00:12:31.600
The Holy Spirit dwells in me.
265
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.000 line:15%
What does that mean? The word dwell is a
266
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.170 line:15%
compound of two words.
267
00:12:35.170 --> 00:12:39.010 line:15%
The word kata - means down.
268
00:12:39.010 --> 00:12:41.050 line:15%
The 2nd part of the word is the word, oikeo,
269
00:12:41.050 --> 00:12:43.060 line:15%
which means to live.
270
00:12:43.060 --> 00:12:46.510 line:15%
But when you compound the 2-words together, this word -
271
00:12:46.510 --> 00:12:48.070 line:15%
katoikeo - which is translated
272
00:12:48.070 --> 00:12:51.070 line:15%
as the word, dwelleth, in James 4:5,
273
00:12:51.070 --> 00:12:53.980 line:15%
describes a person who moves into a residence
274
00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:56.440 line:15%
and kata, he settles down.
275
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.180 line:15%
That's what the word kata means: to live there continuously.
276
00:13:01.180 --> 00:13:03.310
Which means, when the Holy Spirit came into you,
277
00:13:03.310 --> 00:13:06.310
did all these wonderful works
in you, he didn't come in
278
00:13:06.310 --> 00:13:08.620
as a transient guest that was coming
279
00:13:08.620 --> 00:13:12.760
and then leaving, which means
your heart is not a hotel,
280
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.750
your heart is a home, it's a home.
281
00:13:17.770 --> 00:13:19.990
And when the Holy Spirit came inside you
282
00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:24.550
and the Holy Spirit did all
these marvelous things in you,
283
00:13:24.550 --> 00:13:28.360
remaking you, refashioning
you creating you brand new,
284
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.890
you became so fabulous on
the inside that God said,
285
00:13:32.890 --> 00:13:36.400
I wanna live in there - I wanna live there.
286
00:13:36.400 --> 00:13:39.880
That's amazing. That's what happens in the new birth.
287
00:13:39.880 --> 00:13:44.350
And the Holy Spirit comes in, kata, he settles down, oikeo,
288
00:13:44.350 --> 00:13:45.940
he says, I'm gonna live here.
289
00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:50.140
He settles down to permanently reside
290
00:13:50.140 --> 00:13:51.820
inside me and inside you.
291
00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:55.480
And this agrees with what Jesus said in John 14:
292
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:57.370
16 when he said - When the spirit comes,
293
00:13:57.370 --> 00:13:58.960
he will abide with you forever.
294
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.660
He doesn't come and go, he has moved in.
295
00:14:01.660 --> 00:14:05.650
Which means when the Holy
Spirit came into us at the new
296
00:14:05.650 --> 00:14:09.460
birth, I figuratively say he
laid his own carpets on the
297
00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:12.100
floor, he hung his own
pictures on the wall.
298
00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:15.040
He brought in a big easy chair
299
00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:18.010
and the Holy Spirit settled
down on the inside of us
300
00:14:18.010 --> 00:14:19.720
and said, I'd like it here.
301
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.760
I think I'm gonna stay.
302
00:14:21.760 --> 00:14:26.020
And he settled down and made his home inside me
303
00:14:26.020 --> 00:14:27.820
and inside you.
304
00:14:27.820 --> 00:14:30.400
But he really did much more than that.
305
00:14:30.400 --> 00:14:32.680
You say, well, what else did he do?
306
00:14:32.680 --> 00:14:36.070
Well, the Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:
307
00:14:36.070 --> 00:14:37.300
19 - Know you not
308
00:14:37.300 --> 00:14:40.630
that your body is the
temple of the Holy Spirit.
309
00:14:40.630 --> 00:14:43.175
And the word temple is a Greek word, naos.
310
00:14:43.175 --> 00:14:46.450
The word, naos, describes a magnificently
311
00:14:46.450 --> 00:14:48.970
decorated shrine.
312
00:14:48.970 --> 00:14:51.290 line:15%
I live in Moscow, Russia,
313
00:14:51.290 --> 00:14:52.310
and in Moscow, Russia,
314
00:14:52.310 --> 00:14:54.140 line:15%
there are many magnificent cathedrals.
315
00:14:54.140 --> 00:14:57.440 line:15%
And when you walk in those cathedrals, they are typical
316
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.990 line:15%
of a naos: the same Greek word, a temple.
317
00:14:59.990 --> 00:15:03.110 line:15%
And when you walk in, they've got vaulted ceilings,
318
00:15:03.110 --> 00:15:05.690 line:15%
the floors are covered with precious stones,
319
00:15:05.690 --> 00:15:07.340 line:15%
there's silver, there's gold.
320
00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:08.960 line:15%
It is just amazing.
321
00:15:09.830 --> 00:15:13.430 line:15%
Those temples just dazzle on the inside.
322
00:15:13.430 --> 00:15:15.530
That's the very word, naos.
323
00:15:15.530 --> 00:15:16.820
When Paul says - No ye not,
324
00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:19.250
then your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
325
00:15:19.250 --> 00:15:21.110
So figuratively, the Holy Spirit came in
326
00:15:21.110 --> 00:15:22.970
to make himself at home.
327
00:15:22.970 --> 00:15:24.740
I say that he laid his
own rug on the floor,
328
00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:26.030
hung his own pictures on the wall
329
00:15:26.030 --> 00:15:27.800
and settled down at a big easy chair
330
00:15:27.800 --> 00:15:29.930
and said, I like it here,
I'm just gonna stay here.
331
00:15:29.930 --> 00:15:33.980
But in reality, he turned our interior into a cathedral:
332
00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:38.980
so magnificent that God said, I wanna live there.
333
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:44.320
And if we could see our interior, we would be amazed,
334
00:15:44.660 --> 00:15:48.590
amazed. My friends, we've been sealed with the Holy Spirit,
335
00:15:48.590 --> 00:15:51.800
we've been made brand new,
the postage has been paid
336
00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:53.780
to guarantee we're gonna make
it all the way to the end.
337
00:15:53.780 --> 00:15:57.500
And not only that, but
the Spirit dwells in us.
338
00:15:57.500 --> 00:16:02.180
He's not a transit, he came
into permanently abide.
339
00:16:02.180 --> 00:16:06.860
But there's even more because we're told in James
340
00:16:06.860 --> 00:16:08.390
4:5 that the spirit
341
00:16:08.390 --> 00:16:12.890
that dwells in us also lusteth to envy.
342
00:16:13.910 --> 00:16:16.460
What does that mean - the Spirit in us lusts?
343
00:16:16.460 --> 00:16:20.060
Well, according to this verse,
the Holy Spirit dwells in us
344
00:16:20.060 --> 00:16:22.700
and inside us he is lusting.
345
00:16:23.540 --> 00:16:26.703 line:15%
And the word lusting is the Greek word, epipotheo.
346
00:16:26.703 --> 00:16:30.320 line:15%
The word, epi, means over; it is an intensifier.
347
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.110 line:15%
And the word, potheo, means to yearn.
348
00:16:33.110 --> 00:16:36.590 line:15%
It depicts an intense desire, an intense yearning.
349
00:16:36.590 --> 00:16:38.330 line:15%
But when you compound the two words together,
350
00:16:38.330 --> 00:16:39.710 line:15%
they form the word epipotheo,
351
00:16:39.710 --> 00:16:42.110 line:15%
which in this verse is translated as the word lusteth.
352
00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:47.690 line:15%
And this new word depicts an intense, excessive
353
00:16:47.690 --> 00:16:49.850 line:15%
yearning for something.
354
00:16:49.850 --> 00:16:53.060 line:15%
Usually it is used in a negative contents
355
00:16:53.060 --> 00:16:57.050
to describe our yearning for
sin or yearning for flesh.
356
00:16:57.050 --> 00:17:00.020
But in this particular case,
it is used in a good way
357
00:17:00.020 --> 00:17:02.000
to describe the Holy Spirit in us.
358
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:07.310
And according to James, when the Holy Spirit moved in us,
359
00:17:07.310 --> 00:17:10.850
he began to lust or he began to yearn for us.
360
00:17:10.850 --> 00:17:14.210
And in fact, this word lusteth, is so strong
361
00:17:14.210 --> 00:17:17.270
that it could be used in a negative context
362
00:17:17.270 --> 00:17:21.590
to describe a drug addict: a person who's addicted to drugs.
363
00:17:22.490 --> 00:17:25.550
And when the effect of the drugs begin to wear off,
364
00:17:25.550 --> 00:17:27.800
he becomes doubled over.
365
00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:32.630
He's bent over, he's yearning,
he's desiring the next fix.
366
00:17:32.630 --> 00:17:34.520
He is just gotta have another fix.
367
00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:36.890
This is a person with an obsessive yearning.
368
00:17:36.890 --> 00:17:38.360
He can never get enough.
369
00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:41.270
He wants more and more and more and more.
370
00:17:41.270 --> 00:17:43.700
And when one fix wears off, he's gotta have more.
371
00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:46.760
And then he is gotta have more and he is gotta have more.
372
00:17:46.760 --> 00:17:50.490
That's how it's used, for example, in a negative context.
373
00:17:50.490 --> 00:17:52.290
But now in James 4:5,
374
00:17:52.290 --> 00:17:55.590
it is used in a positive way to tell us
375
00:17:55.590 --> 00:18:00.590
that when the Holy Spirit
came in us, he yearns for us.
376
00:18:00.750 --> 00:18:05.520
He wants me. He wants more of me every day.
377
00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:06.870
The Holy Spirit wants you.
378
00:18:06.870 --> 00:18:08.520
He wants more of you and more of you
379
00:18:08.520 --> 00:18:10.140
and more of you and more of you.
380
00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:13.050
And it doesn't matter how much
you surrender to him today,
381
00:18:13.050 --> 00:18:15.840 line:15%
he's gonna be asking for
more of you tomorrow.
382
00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:19.740
When I got saved at the age of 5-years old
383
00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:22.230 line:15%
and I walked the isle of our church,
384
00:18:22.230 --> 00:18:25.320 line:15%
our church was singing the song, I Surrender All:
385
00:18:27.450 --> 00:18:32.450 line:15%
All to Jesus, I surrender, All to thee I truly give -
386
00:18:32.850 --> 00:18:34.170 line:15%
and I surrendered my life.
387
00:18:35.070 --> 00:18:36.990 line:15%
Do you know that was just the beginning?
388
00:18:36.990 --> 00:18:38.730 line:15%
Because from that time until this time,
389
00:18:38.730 --> 00:18:41.130 line:15%
I've been surrendering my life.
390
00:18:41.130 --> 00:18:45.480
And every day, every week, every year, I find there's more
391
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.370
of me that needs to be surrendered.
392
00:18:47.370 --> 00:18:51.810
And the Holy Spirit in me is not satisfied with the amount
393
00:18:51.810 --> 00:18:53.280
that I've surrendered to this point.
394
00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:54.840
He wants more
395
00:18:54.840 --> 00:18:57.840
and tomorrow he's gonna reveal more to me that I need
396
00:18:57.840 --> 00:19:00.570
to reveal to him because he wants more: he wants more,
397
00:19:00.570 --> 00:19:02.310
he wants more, he wants more.
398
00:19:02.310 --> 00:19:04.950
And this is such a divine exchange
399
00:19:04.950 --> 00:19:07.440
because as I surrender
more of myself to him,
400
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.270
he fills me with himself.
401
00:19:09.270 --> 00:19:13.860
And this is the process of sanctification
402
00:19:13.860 --> 00:19:18.600
As we surrender ourself, as
we surrender what he reveals
403
00:19:18.600 --> 00:19:20.580
to us that we need to surrender,
404
00:19:20.580 --> 00:19:22.950
that we may not even realized yesterday,
405
00:19:22.950 --> 00:19:24.810 line:15%
but today we see it.
406
00:19:24.810 --> 00:19:26.580 line:15%
He fills that area of our life.
407
00:19:26.580 --> 00:19:28.290
And tomorrow when we wake up
408
00:19:28.290 --> 00:19:29.910 line:15%
and we begin to seek his face,
409
00:19:29.910 --> 00:19:32.970 line:15%
he's gonna show us something else that we need to surrender.
410
00:19:32.970 --> 00:19:37.740 line:15%
And the spirit in us wants
more and more and more
411
00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:41.190 line:15%
and more and more, which
means the Holy Spirit in me
412
00:19:41.190 --> 00:19:45.090 line:15%
and the Holy Spirit in
you is fixated on us.
413
00:19:45.090 --> 00:19:48.720 line:15%
He wants us. He wants all of us.
414
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:51.330
He wants to fully fill us
415
00:19:51.330 --> 00:19:55.260
and fully possess us for himself.
416
00:19:55.260 --> 00:19:59.220
He's like a divine lover on the inside.
417
00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:03.240 line:15%
All of that is a part of The Spirit-Filled Life.
418
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.400 line:15%
So today we've seen that when we got saved,
419
00:20:06.300 --> 00:20:10.260 line:15%
we weren't just a repaired broken object, we were recreated.
420
00:20:10.260 --> 00:20:12.480 line:15%
And in fact, our contents
were so impeccable
421
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.310 line:15%
after the Holy Spirit came into us
422
00:20:14.310 --> 00:20:17.940 line:15%
that God gave us the Spirit as a seal.
423
00:20:17.940 --> 00:20:19.710 line:15%
The seal of the Holy
Spirit means the devil,
424
00:20:19.710 --> 00:20:23.460
and no one else is to mess with us.
425
00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:26.610
It means we are impeccable on the inside.
426
00:20:26.610 --> 00:20:28.950
We've seen the postage
has been prepaid for us
427
00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:31.230
to make it all the way to
the end in the spirit of God,
428
00:20:31.230 --> 00:20:33.570
in us is yearning for us.
429
00:20:33.570 --> 00:20:35.670
He's come in as a permanent end-dweller.
430
00:20:35.670 --> 00:20:38.070
He's not a guest, he's not a transient
431
00:20:38.070 --> 00:20:39.390
that's gonna come and go.
432
00:20:39.390 --> 00:20:42.240
Your heart is not a hotel, it is a home.
433
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.120
And he created inside you a cathedral.
434
00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:47.200
You are a walking cathedral.
435
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:49.930
God wanted to live in
you and does live in you.
436
00:20:50.890 --> 00:20:54.880 line:15%
And the spirit of God in
you is yearning for you.
437
00:20:55.810 --> 00:20:59.470 line:15%
He's saying, give me more of
yourself, surrender to me.
438
00:21:00.970 --> 00:21:03.220 line:15%
And as you make that trade,
as you surrender more
439
00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:07.450 line:15%
of yourself to him, he fills
you with more of himself.
440
00:21:07.450 --> 00:21:11.860 line:15%
And that has everything to do
with the spirit-filled life.
441
00:21:11.860 --> 00:21:14.560
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
442
00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:24.820
This is Rick Renner and somebody has asked the question -
443
00:21:24.820 --> 00:21:28.360 line:15%
What does it mean to be born again?
444
00:21:28.360 --> 00:21:31.660 line:15%
Well, that is a very fundamental and important question,
445
00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:35.020 line:15%
and we find that phrase, born again, in John 3:
446
00:21:35.020 --> 00:21:36.790
3, when Jesus was speaking
447
00:21:36.790 --> 00:21:39.550
to a religious man named Nicodemus.
448
00:21:39.550 --> 00:21:40.810 line:15%
And Jesus answered
449
00:21:40.810 --> 00:21:44.710 line:15%
and said unto him - Verily, verily I say unto thee,
450
00:21:44.710 --> 00:21:48.340 line:15%
accept a man be born again,
451
00:21:48.340 --> 00:21:50.950 line:15%
he cannot see the kingdom of God.
452
00:21:50.950 --> 00:21:53.320 line:15%
Nicodemus was perplexed by this
453
00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:55.810
and he actually said, well,
how can you when you're old,
454
00:21:55.810 --> 00:21:58.720
reenter your mother's
womb and be born again?
455
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:01.870
And Jesus said, no, no,
no. Nicodemus in life.
456
00:22:01.870 --> 00:22:03.070
There are two births.
457
00:22:03.070 --> 00:22:06.160
There's the natural birth you
receive when you're born from
458
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.720
your mother's womb,
459
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.900
but then later in life
you're born again from above.
460
00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:14.680 line:15%
When God's spirit literally comes into you
461
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:19.270 line:15%
and your human spirit is
awakened and it is born again
462
00:22:19.270 --> 00:22:24.270 line:15%
and you become alive to
God, that's what it means
463
00:22:24.520 --> 00:22:25.540 line:15%
to be born again.
464
00:22:26.830 --> 00:22:29.470 line:15%

Hey, this is Rick
Renner and I am in Tulsa.
488
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:51.650
And look who's with me.
489
00:23:51.650 --> 00:23:55.370
This is part of our Tulsa staff. Around the whole world
490
00:23:55.370 --> 00:23:59.540
we have about 300 employees that work in this ministry
491
00:23:59.540 --> 00:24:01.400
and that is amazing to me.
492
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:03.380
Just look what the Lord has done
493
00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:05.960
and we're reaching people all
over the world in our various
494
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:10.340
offices, but this is the
Tulsa team and they are heroes
495
00:24:10.340 --> 00:24:14.270
and they work every day in this building to minister to you
496
00:24:14.270 --> 00:24:15.680
by sending you resources,
497
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.470
taking your calls, praying for you.
498
00:24:18.470 --> 00:24:19.970
And we're praying people, aren't we?
499
00:24:19.970 --> 00:24:22.700
Yes, we really are praying people,
500
00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:25.970
but God gave us this facility
501
00:24:25.970 --> 00:24:27.350
and we're trying to pay it off.
502
00:24:27.350 --> 00:24:32.350 line:15%
And now we've already paid off 87%.
503
00:24:32.450 --> 00:24:34.550 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
504
00:24:34.550 --> 00:24:37.340 line:15%
because once we're finished
paying this debt off,
505
00:24:37.340 --> 00:24:41.060 line:15%
it's gonna free finances so we
can take the trusted teaching
506
00:24:41.060 --> 00:24:43.610 line:15%
to the Bible even further
to the ends of the earth.
507
00:24:43.610 --> 00:24:45.380 line:15%
And that's our call.
508
00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:47.930 line:15%
And if you're already a
member of the Giving Team
509
00:24:47.930 --> 00:24:51.050 line:15%
to help us retire the debt
on this building, I just want
510
00:24:51.050 --> 00:24:54.110 line:15%
to say "thank you" and we
all say "thank you" to you.
511
00:24:54.110 --> 00:24:56.810 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
512
00:24:56.810 --> 00:24:59.000 line:15%
I invite you today to join our giving team
513
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.100 line:15%
to help us retire the debt.
514
00:25:01.100 --> 00:25:02.720 line:15%
It's really not about retiring the debt,
515
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.000 line:15%
it's about releasing finances
516
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:07.130 line:15%
so we can take the trusted
teaching of the Bible
517
00:25:07.130 --> 00:25:10.010 line:15%
to more people that are crying out for it.
518
00:25:10.010 --> 00:25:11.870 line:15%
So thank you for being a part of the team
519
00:25:11.870 --> 00:25:15.230 line:15%
and please pray about joining our ministry team
520
00:25:15.230 --> 00:25:17.870 line:15%
to retire the debt on this facility.
521
00:25:30.057 --> 00:25:31.453
Today,
522
00:25:31.453 --> 00:25:33.800 line:15%
we've been looking at the fact
that when we were born again,
523
00:25:33.800 --> 00:25:36.410
we were sealed with the spirit of promise.
524
00:25:36.410 --> 00:25:39.050
That is Ephesians 1:13.
525
00:25:39.050 --> 00:25:41.960 line:15%
Then we saw James 4:5,
526
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.750 line:15%
that when the Holy Spirit
came into us at the new birth,
527
00:25:44.750 --> 00:25:47.810 line:15%
he didn't come in as a
guest to come and go.
528
00:25:47.810 --> 00:25:49.310 line:15%
He's not a transient.
529
00:25:49.310 --> 00:25:51.590 line:15%
He came in as a permanent end-dweller
530
00:25:51.590 --> 00:25:56.120 line:15%
and created within us something so magnificent
531
00:25:56.120 --> 00:25:58.070 line:15%
that he really wanted to live in us.
532
00:25:59.030 --> 00:26:01.190 line:15%
And as a permanent in dweller inside us,
533
00:26:01.190 --> 00:26:03.020 line:15%
he's yearning for us.
534
00:26:03.020 --> 00:26:05.120
He's pining for us.
535
00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:07.910
He wants more and more and more of us and my friends,
536
00:26:07.910 --> 00:26:10.700
our job is to surrender to him.
537
00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:13.580 line:15%
But all of this is just a tiny little piece
538
00:26:13.580 --> 00:26:16.160 line:15%
of the series called, The Spirit-Filled Life,
539
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:17.930 line:15%
which comes with the study guide.
540
00:26:17.930 --> 00:26:20.570 line:15%
And I want you to also
be sure to give my book,
541
00:26:20.570 --> 00:26:23.990 line:15%
which is called, My Spirit-Empowered Day.
542
00:26:23.990 --> 00:26:26.900 line:15%
God wants every day of
your life to be empowered
543
00:26:26.900 --> 00:26:28.460 line:15%
by the Holy Spirit.
544
00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:32.810 line:15%
And the Holy Spirit is crying
out to you right now saying,
545
00:26:32.810 --> 00:26:34.580 line:15%
give me more of yourself.
546
00:26:34.580 --> 00:26:38.900 line:15%
So let's pray. Holy
Spirit, we surrender to you
547
00:26:38.900 --> 00:26:42.710 line:15%
as you reveal the areas of our
life that are in our control.
548
00:26:42.710 --> 00:26:45.990 line:15%
But you want the control.
Help us to surrender.
549
00:26:45.990 --> 00:26:49.650 line:15%
And as we surrender to you, we
ask you to fill us with more
550
00:26:49.650 --> 00:26:52.560 line:15%
of yourself and with more of your power.
551
00:26:52.560 --> 00:26:55.890 line:15%
In Jesus name - Amen.
552
00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:58.200
I'll be back again tomorrow
553
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:00.480
and tomorrow is gonna be so encouraging.
554
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:02.220
Please don't miss it.
555
00:27:02.220 --> 00:27:06.180
But until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
556
00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:10.080
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
557
00:27:10.080 --> 00:27:12.390
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
558
00:27:12.390 --> 00:27:16.740
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
559
00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:18.930
Jesus has to give you.
560
00:27:18.930 --> 00:27:22.980
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
561
00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:27.000
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
562
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.970
and Lord. Wash away my sin
563
00:27:29.970 --> 00:27:33.000
and make me completely new.
564
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.870
I thank you that my sin is removed
565
00:27:36.870 --> 00:27:41.870
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
566
00:27:42.330 --> 00:27:46.320
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
567
00:27:46.320 --> 00:27:48.000
for the rest of my life.
568
00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:49.900
Amen.
569
00:27:52.560 --> 00:27:54.780

of the God called partners of Renner Ministries.
