00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:03.740
This program is made possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.740 --> 00:00:06.920
of the God-called partners of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:11.400
My name is Rick Renner, and
today I am seated on a fallen
4
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.520
column which once lined this road.
5
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:17.060
This road was covered with beautiful
6
00:00:17.060 --> 00:00:19.880
hand-carved marble columns.
7
00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:22.580
And this is the Magnesia road,
8
00:00:22.580 --> 00:00:26.060
and that is very important
to the New Testament.
9
00:00:26.060 --> 00:00:29.680
We read about the Magnesia
road in Acts 19:1
10
00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:33.080
where the Bible says - And it came to pass,
11
00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:36.000
that while Apollos was at
Corinth, Paul having passed
12
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.400
through the upper coasts came
13
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:41.200
to Ephesus. When the
Bible says upper coasts,
14
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.600
the Greek word really means
Paul reentered Ephesus
15
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.780
by the interior road.
16
00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:49.500
The first time he came to
Ephesus, he came by ship.
17
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:53.000
But when he returned, he passed through the interior roads,
18
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.960
passed through the Magnesia Gate,
19
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:57.500
which was the upper entrance to Ephesus,
20
00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:02.380
and walked into the
city on this very road.
21
00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:05.740
The Apostle Paul really
walked on this street.
22
00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.300
And when he walked on
this street, to the left,
23
00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:11.540
to the right, there
were beautiful columns,
24
00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:14.520
there were statues, there were idols.
25
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:17.440
This was a very dark, dark pagan city.
26
00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:20.980
And the Apostle Paul,
with the help of Aquila
27
00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:23.700
and Priscilla, established
the church in the
28
00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:25.820
heart of this city.
29
00:01:25.820 --> 00:01:27.820
And it became one of
the greatest churches in
30
00:01:27.820 --> 00:01:29.640
all of church history.
31
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.400
And eventually, he installed Timothy
32
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.220
to be the pastor of this church.
33
00:01:34.220 --> 00:01:37.460
And many years later,
Paul wrote to Timothy
34
00:01:37.460 --> 00:01:39.841
and prophesied to Timothy
about what was going
35
00:01:39.841 --> 00:01:43.021
to take place in the very
end of the last days.
36
00:01:43.021 --> 00:01:47.441
Listen to what Paul said
in 1 Timothy 4:1 -
37
00:01:47.441 --> 00:01:49.261
Now the Spirit speaks expressly.
38
00:01:49.261 --> 00:01:52.121
The Greek word rhetos - means the spirit speaks
39
00:01:52.121 --> 00:01:53.961
emphatically, categorically.
40
00:01:54.941 --> 00:01:58.661
No ability to mis-confuse
what the spirit is saying.
41
00:01:58.661 --> 00:02:02.101
The spirit speaks expressly
that in the latter times,
42
00:02:02.101 --> 00:02:04.161
some shall depart from the faith,
43
00:02:04.161 --> 00:02:08.681
giving heed the seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.
44
00:02:08.681 --> 00:02:11.741
The apostle Paul, speaking
under the inspiration
45
00:02:11.741 --> 00:02:14.041
of the Holy Spirit, writing to Timothy,
46
00:02:14.041 --> 00:02:18.161
who was the pastor in this
very city, said Timothy
47
00:02:19.441 --> 00:02:20.681
at the very end of the age.
48
00:02:21.621 --> 00:02:23.681
When the age can go no further,
49
00:02:23.681 --> 00:02:26.241
when the church age is wrapping up,
50
00:02:26.241 --> 00:02:29.501
many in the church are
going to be led astray by
51
00:02:29.501 --> 00:02:32.321
what he calls seducing spirits
52
00:02:33.201 --> 00:02:35.661
and doctrines of demons.
53
00:02:35.661 --> 00:02:38.498
The word doctrines is from the Greek word, didaskalia.
54
00:02:38.498 --> 00:02:41.281
It describes very well packaged teaching.
55
00:02:42.381 --> 00:02:45.601
It will probably be very
appealing, may sound logical,
56
00:02:45.601 --> 00:02:49.621
maybe even intelligent, but
Paul says, Make no mistake.
57
00:02:49.621 --> 00:02:54.241
It will be well packaged
doctrines of demons.
58
00:02:54.241 --> 00:02:56.401
And he says it will be very seducing.
59
00:02:57.361 --> 00:03:00.701
That's what Paul
prophesied to Timothy about
60
00:03:00.701 --> 00:03:03.861
what would take place
in the church worldwide
61
00:03:03.861 --> 00:03:06.501
at the very end of the age.
62
00:03:07.481 --> 00:03:11.361
That's our time. We're living
at the very end of the age.
63
00:03:11.361 --> 00:03:16.141
And my friend, just like Paul
prophesied, seducing spirits
64
00:03:16.141 --> 00:03:19.662
with doctrines of demons have
been released into the earth
65
00:03:19.662 --> 00:03:23.542
and people today are
believing delusional things
66
00:03:23.542 --> 00:03:26.462
that don't even begin to match reality.
67
00:03:26.462 --> 00:03:29.222
We need to keep our heads on straight
68
00:03:29.222 --> 00:03:31.402
when it comes to what we believe.
69
00:03:31.402 --> 00:03:33.602
It is so very important for us
70
00:03:33.602 --> 00:03:35.862
who are living at the end of the age.
71
00:03:35.862 --> 00:03:38.282
And that is what I want to
talk to you about today.
72
00:03:39.462 --> 00:03:42.662
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
73
00:03:42.662 --> 00:03:46.182
and your mind, where the
word is the anchor in
74
00:03:46.182 --> 00:03:47.302
uncertain times
75
00:03:48.182 --> 00:03:50.582
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
76
00:03:51.462 --> 00:03:52.882
We keep it simple,
77
00:03:52.882 --> 00:03:57.282
but dive deep, revealing a truth that strengthens us,
78
00:03:58.342 --> 00:04:00.082
a love that emboldens,
79
00:04:01.382 --> 00:04:03.462
and a mission that touches the world.
80
00:04:05.862 --> 00:04:07.262
Let's join Rick Renner.
81
00:04:09.682 --> 00:04:13.102
I am so glad you've joined
me for the program today.
82
00:04:13.102 --> 00:04:15.782
And as I told you in the introduction, today we're going
83
00:04:15.782 --> 00:04:20.422
to see what the Holy Spirit had to say about an infiltration
84
00:04:20.422 --> 00:04:21.942
of seducing spirits
85
00:04:21.942 --> 00:04:25.222 line:15%
and doctrines of demons into the church at the end
86
00:04:25.222 --> 00:04:26.982 line:15%
of the age.
87
00:04:26.982 --> 00:04:29.565 line:15%
This is prophesied in 1 Timothy 4:1.
88
00:04:30.662 --> 00:04:34.802 line:15%
But I want you to understand,
God is not in the business
89
00:04:34.802 --> 00:04:35.942
of scaring people,
90
00:04:35.942 --> 00:04:39.842 line:15%
but he is in the business of preparing us.
91
00:04:39.842 --> 00:04:42.282 line:15%
And because he loves us, he
wants us to know what's going
92
00:04:42.282 --> 00:04:43.722 line:15%
to come in the very end of the age.
93
00:04:43.722 --> 00:04:46.922 line:15%
And it's just amazing because
there was Timothy serving
94
00:04:46.922 --> 00:04:49.262 line:15%
as the pastor of the
church of Ephesus, a city
95
00:04:49.262 --> 00:04:52.022 line:15%
that was filled with
all kinds of deception
96
00:04:52.022 --> 00:04:54.042
and spiritual darkness.
97
00:04:54.042 --> 00:04:56.843
And even living in the midst
of that, the Holy Spirit says,
98
00:04:56.843 --> 00:04:58.743
Well, you ought to see what's
going to happen at the end
99
00:04:58.743 --> 00:05:03.063
of the age. Well, we're
living at the end of the age.
100
00:05:03.063 --> 00:05:05.343
So we need to know what
the Bible tells us about
101
00:05:05.343 --> 00:05:08.103
what we're going to see and
what the devil's going to try
102
00:05:08.103 --> 00:05:11.303
to do to the church at
the very end of the age.
103
00:05:11.303 --> 00:05:14.123 line:15%
But remember, I'm teaching a
brand new series called How
104
00:05:14.123 --> 00:05:17.183 line:15%
to Keep Your Head on Straight in a World Gone Crazy.
105
00:05:17.183 --> 00:05:20.443 line:15%
And I want to tell you about
my book by the same name.
106
00:05:20.443 --> 00:05:23.543 line:15%
And please remember that we
are here to pray for you.
107
00:05:23.543 --> 00:05:27.043 line:15%
So please reach out to us
and let us know how to pray,
108
00:05:27.043 --> 00:05:29.523 line:15%
but reach for your Bible.
109
00:05:29.523 --> 00:05:32.103 line:15%
And today you need a pen or a pencil
110
00:05:32.103 --> 00:05:33.883 line:15%
because we're going to really go
111
00:05:33.883 --> 00:05:37.263
to 1 Timothy 4:1 and take it apart.
112
00:05:37.263 --> 00:05:40.423
It's a verse that we
really need to understand.
113
00:05:40.423 --> 00:05:44.943
And when we come to 1 Timothy 4:1, the Apostle Paul
114
00:05:44.943 --> 00:05:47.363
is writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
115
00:05:47.363 --> 00:05:52.043
And he says - Now, the Spirit speaks expressly
116
00:05:52.043 --> 00:05:56.503
that in the latter times, some
shall depart from the faith,
117
00:05:56.503 --> 00:05:58.883
giving heed to seducing spirits
118
00:05:58.883 --> 00:06:02.383
and doctrines of devils.
This word is so important
119
00:06:02.383 --> 00:06:04.483
that I want us to really dive into it
120
00:06:04.483 --> 00:06:06.803
and we're going to begin with a word - now.
121
00:06:06.803 --> 00:06:08.823
So I'm going to go to the glassboard.
122
00:06:08.823 --> 00:06:10.643
And when you read this in the Greek text,
123
00:06:10.643 --> 00:06:14.283
the word, now, is the little conjunction, de.
124
00:06:14.283 --> 00:06:17.583
It really means now, significantly now.
125
00:06:17.583 --> 00:06:20.683
It's like the Holy Spirit
is raising his voice
126
00:06:20.683 --> 00:06:24.243
to really get the attention of
those that he is speaking to.
127
00:06:24.243 --> 00:06:27.283
And he says, now the
spirit speaks expressly.
128
00:06:27.283 --> 00:06:29.423
By the way, if you want to
write this down in English,
129
00:06:29.423 --> 00:06:31.423
it would be spelled like this.
130
00:06:31.423 --> 00:06:35.604
But the words speaketh expressly: the word speaketh is lege,
131
00:06:35.604 --> 00:06:38.764
means he speaks, but the word expressly
132
00:06:38.764 --> 00:06:40.624
is the word rhetos -
133
00:06:41.704 --> 00:06:43.904
rhetos; it's where we get the word, rhema.
134
00:06:43.904 --> 00:06:46.004
If you want to write it down
in your notes, it is spelled
135
00:06:46.884 --> 00:06:51.404
R-h-E-T-O-S, but the O is long.
136
00:06:51.404 --> 00:06:56.084
And this word rhetos describes
something that is categorical,
137
00:06:56.084 --> 00:06:59.164
something that is absolutely emphatic.
138
00:06:59.164 --> 00:07:01.244 line:15%
It is that which is spoken clearly,
139
00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:04.044 line:15%
unmistakably and vividly.
140
00:07:04.044 --> 00:07:07.784 line:15%
It describes that which is
unquestionable, certain,
141
00:07:07.784 --> 00:07:09.824 line:15%
and absolutely sure,
142
00:07:09.824 --> 00:07:12.904 line:15%
which means when the Holy Spirit says, de,
143
00:07:12.904 --> 00:07:15.144
it's like he's raising his voice.
144
00:07:15.144 --> 00:07:17.744
Then he says the spirit speaks expressly
145
00:07:17.744 --> 00:07:20.044 line:15%
and listen to what it really means.
146
00:07:20.044 --> 00:07:23.604 line:15%
It means the spirit speaks in absolutely clear
147
00:07:23.604 --> 00:07:26.204 line:15%
words. Or you could render it -
148
00:07:26.204 --> 00:07:30.004 line:15%
the spirit speaks in unmistakable terms
149
00:07:30.004 --> 00:07:31.624 line:15%
or you could render it -
150
00:07:31.624 --> 00:07:35.564 line:15%
The Holy Spirit speaks in the clearest of language.
151
00:07:35.564 --> 00:07:37.184 line:15%
You say - Now Rick, why is this important?
152
00:07:37.184 --> 00:07:40.964 line:15%
Because the Holy Spirit here is speaking categorically.
153
00:07:40.964 --> 00:07:42.844
He is speaking emphatically.
154
00:07:42.844 --> 00:07:45.804
He's not saying this is
something that could happen.
155
00:07:45.804 --> 00:07:49.244
He is saying this is something
which will most definitely
156
00:07:49.244 --> 00:07:51.684
take place in the latter times.
157
00:07:51.684 --> 00:07:55.764
He's literally lifting his voice to get our attention.
158
00:07:55.764 --> 00:07:59.204
And here the Holy Spirit begins to describe what is going
159
00:07:59.204 --> 00:08:02.924
to transpire at the very
end of the church age.
160
00:08:02.924 --> 00:08:05.984
And since we're living in the
very end of the church age,
161
00:08:05.984 --> 00:08:09.444
we need to know what the Holy
Spirit says in this verse,
162
00:08:09.444 --> 00:08:13.064
but he's describing something
that is categorically plain.
163
00:08:13.064 --> 00:08:14.305
Again, it's not optional.
164
00:08:14.305 --> 00:08:17.405
It's something that is
going to take place.
165
00:08:17.405 --> 00:08:21.125
And in this verse, the Holy
Spirit sounds the alarm
166
00:08:21.125 --> 00:08:25.345
that in the very end of
the age, seducing spirits
167
00:08:25.345 --> 00:08:27.425
and doctrines of demons are going to try
168
00:08:27.425 --> 00:08:29.405
to infiltrate the church.
169
00:08:29.405 --> 00:08:33.465
There's going to be a last
day's assault on the church,
170
00:08:33.465 --> 00:08:36.825
and it's absolutely clear, unmistakable, vivid, undeniable,
171
00:08:36.825 --> 00:08:40.365
certain and definite that
this is going to take place.
172
00:08:40.365 --> 00:08:41.785
That means we can't pray it away.
173
00:08:41.785 --> 00:08:44.265
Now we can protect ourselves from it,
174
00:08:44.265 --> 00:08:47.765
but the Holy Spirit says very
clearly, very emphatically,
175
00:08:47.765 --> 00:08:51.085
this is going to take place
in the very end of the age.
176
00:08:51.085 --> 00:08:54.365
And then it goes on to say - Now the spirit speaks expressly
177
00:08:54.365 --> 00:08:56.845
that in the latter times.
178
00:08:56.845 --> 00:08:59.125
Well, let's look at the word - that.
179
00:08:59.125 --> 00:09:02.285
The word, that, in Greek is the word hoti.
180
00:09:02.285 --> 00:09:03.685
You'd spell it like this if you're
181
00:09:03.685 --> 00:09:05.365
going to write it in English.
182
00:09:05.365 --> 00:09:08.645
And the word hoti is a
very, very specific word.
183
00:09:08.645 --> 00:09:11.005
It describes something that is to follow.
184
00:09:11.005 --> 00:09:12.765
So you could translate it -
185
00:09:12.765 --> 00:09:17.165
Now the spirit speaks emphatically - that's the word rhetos.
186
00:09:17.165 --> 00:09:21.785
The spirit speaks clearly, unquestionably, undeniably that,
187
00:09:21.785 --> 00:09:24.145
specifically that.
188
00:09:24.145 --> 00:09:27.445
This word hoti means the Holy
Spirit's going to be really,
189
00:09:27.445 --> 00:09:29.925
really clear in what he is prophesying -
190
00:09:29.925 --> 00:09:34.925
that in the latter times. The word in is the Greek word, en.
191
00:09:35.085 --> 00:09:36.525
You would spell it like this.
192
00:09:36.525 --> 00:09:39.245
It's very important because it
describes the time period in
193
00:09:39.245 --> 00:09:41.725
which this is going to take place.
194
00:09:41.725 --> 00:09:44.145
And the word, latter times, is also very important.
195
00:09:44.145 --> 00:09:46.777
The word latter is the Greek word, husteros.
196
00:09:48.845 --> 00:09:51.346
And the word, husteros, describes the very end of a thing
197
00:09:51.346 --> 00:09:54.346
or what is left at the
very end of something.
198
00:09:54.346 --> 00:09:57.186
So he's literally pointing
to the very, very, very end
199
00:09:57.186 --> 00:10:00.146
of the age when there's not much left.
200
00:10:00.146 --> 00:10:02.186
And then he adds the word - times,
201
00:10:02.186 --> 00:10:04.126
which in Greek is the word kairos.
202
00:10:04.126 --> 00:10:07.146
And if you're going to write
this word kairos in English,
203
00:10:07.146 --> 00:10:08.466
it would be spelled like this - kairos.
204
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.726
It describes a time or a season.
205
00:10:15.726 --> 00:10:18.306
But if you put all of
this together so far,
206
00:10:18.306 --> 00:10:20.526
the Holy Spirit says de, this conjunction,
207
00:10:20.526 --> 00:10:22.086
which is very important,
208
00:10:22.086 --> 00:10:24.686
the Holy Spirit's lifting his voice.
209
00:10:24.686 --> 00:10:28.226
He says, now the spirit speaks, rhetos, categorically,
210
00:10:28.226 --> 00:10:32.206
emphatically, undeniably, unmistakably that,
211
00:10:32.206 --> 00:10:35.526
the Greek word hoti, specifically that.
212
00:10:35.526 --> 00:10:38.726
And I just love it that the
Holy Spirit is always so clear
213
00:10:38.726 --> 00:10:40.626
with us when he speaks.
214
00:10:40.626 --> 00:10:43.526
And here he says specifically that - en,
215
00:10:43.526 --> 00:10:46.406
now he is locating the timeframe in which this is going
216
00:10:46.406 --> 00:10:48.786
to take place - en justeros kairos.
217
00:10:48.786 --> 00:10:52.626
The word justeros, in the King James version is translated
218
00:10:52.626 --> 00:10:53.766
as the word latter.
219
00:10:54.726 --> 00:10:57.486
Latter. Sorry about that. The word latter.
220
00:10:58.926 --> 00:11:00.326
But it's really the word husteiros,
221
00:11:00.326 --> 00:11:02.926
which describes the very
end of a thing, something
222
00:11:02.926 --> 00:11:05.566
that is lacking when something is just,
223
00:11:05.566 --> 00:11:07.666
there's almost not much more of it left.
224
00:11:07.666 --> 00:11:10.586
And the word kairos, which means times
225
00:11:12.386 --> 00:11:15.586
or seasons or seasons.
226
00:11:15.586 --> 00:11:19.586
So if you put all of
this together, we find
227
00:11:19.586 --> 00:11:22.866
that the Holy Spirit is really prophesying
228
00:11:22.866 --> 00:11:25.766
that the very last season, specifically
229
00:11:25.766 --> 00:11:30.387
that, in the very last period of time, what he's about
230
00:11:30.387 --> 00:11:33.447
to describe is going to take place
231
00:11:33.447 --> 00:11:35.387
and what is going to take place.
232
00:11:35.387 --> 00:11:38.167
He says, Some shall depart from
233
00:11:39.067 --> 00:11:40.387
the faith. Well, praise God
234
00:11:40.387 --> 00:11:43.147
he doesn't say everybody's going to depart from the faith,
235
00:11:43.147 --> 00:11:45.707
but he does use the word, some.
236
00:11:45.707 --> 00:11:48.347
And the word some is the Greek word tines,
237
00:11:48.347 --> 00:11:52.107
and actually it describes a very significant some.
238
00:11:52.107 --> 00:11:55.727
And really here it implies some in leadership shall depart
239
00:11:55.727 --> 00:11:57.487
from the faith.
240
00:11:57.487 --> 00:11:59.907
And notice he's speaking futuristically.
241
00:11:59.907 --> 00:12:02.947
Well, they were already dealing with an assault on truth
242
00:12:02.947 --> 00:12:04.987
in the 1st Century, but now the Holy
243
00:12:04.987 --> 00:12:06.707
Spirit says, shall depart.
244
00:12:06.707 --> 00:12:09.067
It's almost like he speaks
comparatively to say, Hey,
245
00:12:09.067 --> 00:12:11.947
Timothy, if you think you're
dealing with issues now,
246
00:12:11.947 --> 00:12:14.367
look at what's going to
happen in the future.
247
00:12:14.367 --> 00:12:19.367
Some shall depart from the
faith. And the word depart
248
00:12:19.527 --> 00:12:22.287
is the Greek word episteme.
249
00:12:22.287 --> 00:12:25.747
And this is really, really important.
250
00:12:25.747 --> 00:12:29.947
It is a compound of 2 Greek words. The 1st word is, apo.
251
00:12:29.947 --> 00:12:31.987
If you're going to spell it in English,
252
00:12:31.987 --> 00:12:33.827
it would be spelled like this.
253
00:12:33.827 --> 00:12:36.550
The second word is istemi.
254
00:12:36.550 --> 00:12:39.107
The word histemi, if you're going to spell it in English,
255
00:12:39.107 --> 00:12:40.927
it would be spelled like this.
256
00:12:42.327 --> 00:12:45.547
The word opo means away - away,
257
00:12:46.867 --> 00:12:49.047
and it implies distance.
258
00:12:49.047 --> 00:12:52.487
The word, istemi, means to stand,
259
00:12:52.487 --> 00:12:54.447
but when you compound the word apo
260
00:12:54.447 --> 00:12:57.867
and istemi into one word,
it forms the word apistemi,
261
00:12:59.087 --> 00:13:01.607
which describes one who steps away from
262
00:13:01.607 --> 00:13:05.987
and puts distance between
himself and something else.
263
00:13:05.987 --> 00:13:08.887
And in fact, it is where
we get the word for
264
00:13:08.887 --> 00:13:11.708
apostasy, apostasy.
265
00:13:11.708 --> 00:13:16.368
You say, What is apostasy?
Apostasy is when a person has
266
00:13:16.368 --> 00:13:19.548
once embraced one thing,
he has believed it,
267
00:13:19.548 --> 00:13:22.748
but now for some reason,
he's putting distance
268
00:13:22.748 --> 00:13:24.608
between himself and that thing.
269
00:13:24.608 --> 00:13:27.148
Though he once embraced
it, he once taught it,
270
00:13:27.148 --> 00:13:28.248
he once proclaimed it
271
00:13:28.248 --> 00:13:32.108
and staked his life on
it, something has happened
272
00:13:32.108 --> 00:13:36.128
to cause him,apo, to step away from it, even to put distance
273
00:13:36.128 --> 00:13:39.808
between himself and what he once believed and istemi,
274
00:13:39.808 --> 00:13:41.148
he changes his stand.
275
00:13:41.148 --> 00:13:44.828
He steps away from it
and takes a new position.
276
00:13:44.828 --> 00:13:46.848
But notice, it doesn't say they're going
277
00:13:46.848 --> 00:13:48.688
to reject the faith.
278
00:13:48.688 --> 00:13:51.028
It doesn't say that. It says they're going
279
00:13:51.028 --> 00:13:53.508
to depart from the faith.
280
00:13:53.508 --> 00:13:55.928
And there's a very big difference
281
00:13:55.928 --> 00:13:58.528
between rejecting and departing.
282
00:13:58.528 --> 00:14:02.388
Rejecting would imply
an outright rejection,
283
00:14:02.388 --> 00:14:03.448
waking up one day
284
00:14:03.448 --> 00:14:05.568
and saying, I don't
believe that anymore,
285
00:14:05.568 --> 00:14:07.448
but that's not what we find here.
286
00:14:07.448 --> 00:14:09.188
It's not a rejection of the faith.
287
00:14:09.188 --> 00:14:13.268
It is a departing from the faith, the Greek word apistemi,
288
00:14:13.268 --> 00:14:15.168
which describes a very slow,
289
00:14:15.168 --> 00:14:18.448
gradual movement in a new direction.
290
00:14:18.448 --> 00:14:23.268
And in fact, this departure is so slow
291
00:14:23.268 --> 00:14:25.748
that the one that is in movement, the one
292
00:14:25.748 --> 00:14:29.468
that is in departure may not even realize
293
00:14:29.468 --> 00:14:30.848
that he is departing;
294
00:14:30.848 --> 00:14:35.468
but very slowly, very gradually, over a process of time,
295
00:14:35.468 --> 00:14:38.708
he's releasing what he once believed, and apo,
296
00:14:38.708 --> 00:14:40.988
he's moving away from it, istemi.
297
00:14:40.988 --> 00:14:43.408
He's changing his position.
298
00:14:43.408 --> 00:14:46.428
He's moving away from
what he once believed.
299
00:14:46.428 --> 00:14:49.869
And here again, we find
this describes a gradual
300
00:14:49.869 --> 00:14:53.769
step-by-step, almost
undetectable departure
301
00:14:53.769 --> 00:14:56.609
that occurs over a period of time.
302
00:14:56.609 --> 00:15:00.849
It is a slow withdrawal
and changing of position.
303
00:15:00.849 --> 00:15:04.049
And notice what he is departing from.
304
00:15:04.049 --> 00:15:09.049
The Bible says they shall depart from the faith: the faith.
305
00:15:09.349 --> 00:15:11.449
It doesn't say they shall depart from faith,
306
00:15:11.449 --> 00:15:13.229
but from the faith.
307
00:15:13.229 --> 00:15:16.569
If they were departing
from faith, it might imply
308
00:15:16.569 --> 00:15:20.389
that they were departing from
the supernatural lifestyle
309
00:15:20.389 --> 00:15:23.009
or they're departing
from signs and wonders.
310
00:15:23.009 --> 00:15:25.949
But when you read this in the
Greek text, it says taste.
311
00:15:27.929 --> 00:15:30.249
And this is really important
312
00:15:30.249 --> 00:15:33.449
because this word taste
is a definite article,
313
00:15:33.449 --> 00:15:35.509
which means they're not
just departing from faith,
314
00:15:35.509 --> 00:15:39.709
but they are departing
from the faith, the faith.
315
00:15:39.709 --> 00:15:42.149
And this word taste makes it very clear,
316
00:15:42.149 --> 00:15:44.729
this is not just a general
departure from faith,
317
00:15:44.729 --> 00:15:49.149
but from the faith, which
refers to the long held,
318
00:15:49.149 --> 00:15:52.009
clearly affirmed tenets of scripture.
319
00:15:52.009 --> 00:15:54.249
They once stood on the word of God.
320
00:15:54.249 --> 00:15:56.309
They once believed what
the word of God said,
321
00:15:56.309 --> 00:16:00.329
but now for some reason,
very gradually over a period
322
00:16:00.329 --> 00:16:03.149
of time, they're modifying
what they believe
323
00:16:03.149 --> 00:16:06.429
and they're stepping away from
the bold stance they once had
324
00:16:06.429 --> 00:16:10.929
on the word of God, and now
they're taking a new position.
325
00:16:10.929 --> 00:16:14.269
This is clearly what this text means.
326
00:16:14.269 --> 00:16:17.269
And the verse, again,
does not say they're going
327
00:16:17.269 --> 00:16:18.869
to reject the faith.
328
00:16:18.869 --> 00:16:22.289
What's being described here
doesn't happen in one night.
329
00:16:22.289 --> 00:16:25.289
This is someone who begins
to consider something new.
330
00:16:25.289 --> 00:16:28.009
They begin to open their
mind to new possibilities.
331
00:16:28.009 --> 00:16:29.970
And in fact, that's what
the rest of the verse says.
332
00:16:29.970 --> 00:16:33.870
1 Timothy 4:1
now, the Greek word de,
333
00:16:33.870 --> 00:16:35.830 line:15%
the Holy Spirit's raising his voice.
334
00:16:35.830 --> 00:16:39.950 line:15%
The spirit speaks expressly,
categorically, emphatically,
335
00:16:39.950 --> 00:16:44.690 line:15%
undeniably, unmistakably
that, specifically that in,
336
00:16:44.690 --> 00:16:47.610 line:15%
the latter times in the last season when
337
00:16:47.610 --> 00:16:49.190
not much time is left,
338
00:16:49.190 --> 00:16:53.170
some very notable people
will distance themself
339
00:16:53.170 --> 00:16:55.310
and even put space between themselves
340
00:16:55.310 --> 00:16:57.910
and the clear teaching of scripture.
341
00:16:57.910 --> 00:17:01.350
And then he tells us why they're going to do it: giving heed
342
00:17:01.350 --> 00:17:05.430
to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.
343
00:17:05.430 --> 00:17:07.710
What does that mean, giving heed?
344
00:17:07.710 --> 00:17:10.630
Well, the word giving heed is the Greek word,
345
00:17:11.590 --> 00:17:13.830
prosecho.
346
00:17:15.530 --> 00:17:17.430
The first part of the
word is the word pros,
347
00:17:18.410 --> 00:17:20.690
and the word pros means toward,
348
00:17:20.690 --> 00:17:24.190
and it carries an idea
of very close contact.
349
00:17:24.190 --> 00:17:29.190
The second word, echo, means
I have, I hold, I possess.
350
00:17:29.390 --> 00:17:31.810
But when you compound
these two words together,
351
00:17:31.810 --> 00:17:36.270
it forms the word pros echo, which pictures one
352
00:17:36.270 --> 00:17:37.730
who once believed one thing,
353
00:17:37.730 --> 00:17:41.510
but now pros, he's leaning
in a new direction.
354
00:17:41.510 --> 00:17:45.290
He's turned his attention
in a new direction in order
355
00:17:45.290 --> 00:17:49.250
to echo to embrace something brand new.
356
00:17:49.250 --> 00:17:52.150
Wow, this is really important.
357
00:17:52.150 --> 00:17:54.750
And here it pictures those
who believed one thing
358
00:17:54.750 --> 00:17:56.610
for a long, long time,
359
00:17:56.610 --> 00:18:00.291
but now as a result of some influence,
360
00:18:00.291 --> 00:18:03.911
they're gradually releasing
what they formerly believed
361
00:18:03.911 --> 00:18:06.911
and now they're switching their focus.
362
00:18:06.911 --> 00:18:10.371
That's what these words,
giving heed, really mean.
363
00:18:10.371 --> 00:18:12.871
They're switching their
focus to something else.
364
00:18:12.871 --> 00:18:16.491
It pictures slowly releasing
what has been familiar,
365
00:18:16.491 --> 00:18:21.011
precious and dear, letting go
of past firmly held beliefs
366
00:18:21.011 --> 00:18:25.071
to embrace something new and something very enticing.
367
00:18:25.071 --> 00:18:28.291
And what is it that's luring them in a new direction?
368
00:18:28.291 --> 00:18:32.771
The Bible says very clearly: giving heed to seducing spirits
369
00:18:32.771 --> 00:18:34.651
and doctrines of devils.
370
00:18:34.651 --> 00:18:37.911
And the word seducing - wow, we're really filling the board.
371
00:18:37.911 --> 00:18:40.451
The word seducing is the Greek word, planau,
372
00:18:41.511 --> 00:18:43.891
and the word planau, if you're
going to spell it in English,
373
00:18:43.891 --> 00:18:45.191
it would be spelled like this.
374
00:18:46.131 --> 00:18:50.271
The word planau describes
a very deceptive process
375
00:18:50.271 --> 00:18:53.111
that causes one to wander.
376
00:18:53.111 --> 00:18:57.491 line:15%
And in fact, this word
was used agriculturally
377
00:18:57.491 --> 00:19:01.331 line:15%
to describe an animal that so lost its way
378
00:19:01.331 --> 00:19:03.251 line:15%
that it could never
find its way back home.
379
00:19:03.251 --> 00:19:04.731 line:15%
That's how lost it became.
380
00:19:04.731 --> 00:19:06.791 line:15%
It wandered and wandered and wandered.
381
00:19:06.791 --> 00:19:10.711 line:15%
And here the Holy Spirit says
at the very end of the age,
382
00:19:10.711 --> 00:19:14.071 line:15%
there's going to come a time
when not much more time is
383
00:19:14.071 --> 00:19:15.851
left, you've come to the very last time
384
00:19:15.851 --> 00:19:18.231
or the very last season of
the church, there's going
385
00:19:18.231 --> 00:19:20.751
to be a deceptive wandering which is going
386
00:19:20.751 --> 00:19:23.251
to take place in the church.
387
00:19:23.251 --> 00:19:25.471
People are going to turn
their attention from
388
00:19:25.471 --> 00:19:27.671
what they once firmly held to,
389
00:19:27.671 --> 00:19:30.171 line:15%
and they're going to turn
in a new way in order
390
00:19:30.171 --> 00:19:32.971 line:15%
to echo embrace a new idea
391
00:19:32.971 --> 00:19:37.671 line:15%
and working behind the new
idea are seducing spirits.
392
00:19:37.671 --> 00:19:39.891 line:15%
The word seducing is the activity
393
00:19:39.891 --> 00:19:42.771 line:15%
of demon spirits causing you to veer from
394
00:19:42.771 --> 00:19:44.831 line:15%
what you once believed.
395
00:19:44.831 --> 00:19:48.832 line:15%
And then Paul calls it
doctrines of demons.
396
00:19:48.832 --> 00:19:50.932 line:15%
And the word doctrines
is the Greek didaskalia.
397
00:19:50.932 --> 00:19:53.492 line:15%
It describes well-packaged teaching,
398
00:19:53.492 --> 00:19:56.932 line:15%
which means it will have an
appeal that causes people
399
00:19:56.932 --> 00:19:58.872
to turn from what they once believe
400
00:19:58.872 --> 00:20:00.312
to consider something new.
401
00:20:01.532 --> 00:20:03.192
And my friends, I want to
tell you, God wants you
402
00:20:03.192 --> 00:20:05.712
to use your brain, keep
your brain in your head.
403
00:20:05.712 --> 00:20:08.852
Don't be so open-minded
that your brain falls out.
404
00:20:08.852 --> 00:20:10.932 line:15%
The scripture is the scripture
405
00:20:10.932 --> 00:20:13.412 line:15%
and we need to stick with
the scripture regardless of
406
00:20:13.412 --> 00:20:15.212 line:15%
what others are saying,
407
00:20:15.212 --> 00:20:17.872 line:15%
and we need to really embrace
what the Bible teaches
408
00:20:17.872 --> 00:20:19.632 line:15%
and not allow the devil
409
00:20:19.632 --> 00:20:22.132 line:15%
and demon spirits to lead us off track,
410
00:20:22.132 --> 00:20:25.352 line:15%
but the Holy Spirit warns
that is something that's going
411
00:20:25.352 --> 00:20:28.332 line:15%
to occur when we come to the
very end of the church age
412
00:20:28.332 --> 00:20:29.912 line:15%
and that's where we are.
413
00:20:29.912 --> 00:20:32.452
So we need to know what
the Holy Spirit has to say.
414
00:20:32.452 --> 00:20:35.652
I'll be back in just a moment
and I want to pray for you.
415
00:20:44.032 --> 00:20:46.692 line:15%
Someone has asked the question - What do I do?
416
00:20:46.692 --> 00:20:49.792 line:15%
My family doesn't want to
hear about my relationship
417
00:20:49.792 --> 00:20:54.792 line:15%
with the Lord or about my
church. Well, you can only go
418
00:20:55.112 --> 00:20:57.532
where you are invited.
419
00:20:57.532 --> 00:20:59.192
And if they have not
opened the door for you
420
00:20:59.192 --> 00:21:03.472
to share the deepest, the most
wonderful thing in your life,
421
00:21:03.472 --> 00:21:06.952
then probably you don't have
an invitation to go there.
422
00:21:06.952 --> 00:21:10.712
Never barge into a place
where you're not welcome,
423
00:21:10.712 --> 00:21:12.532
and that includes what you share
424
00:21:12.532 --> 00:21:14.572
with your family and friends.
425
00:21:14.572 --> 00:21:16.612
Of course, what God has done
in your life is the most
426
00:21:16.612 --> 00:21:19.732
precious thing of all in your
church life, while that is
427
00:21:19.732 --> 00:21:21.172
so very important to you.
428
00:21:21.172 --> 00:21:25.352
But in 1 Peter 3:15, it says you need
429
00:21:25.352 --> 00:21:29.673
to always be ready for the
moment when they do ask you
430
00:21:29.673 --> 00:21:31.513
about the hope that is in you.
431
00:21:31.513 --> 00:21:35.213
And the moment that door opens
and they express an interest
432
00:21:35.213 --> 00:21:36.853
or they allow you to open your heart
433
00:21:36.853 --> 00:21:39.993
and to share, walk through that door.
434
00:21:39.993 --> 00:21:44.313
But it's vital for you to
pray for God to open a door
435
00:21:44.313 --> 00:21:47.513
so you can walk through
it to share with them
436
00:21:47.513 --> 00:21:49.993
and be very sensitive
about when you should share
437
00:21:50.893 --> 00:21:52.353
and when you should not share.
438
00:21:52.353 --> 00:21:55.653
Don't just barge into every
moment to start telling about
439
00:21:55.653 --> 00:21:56.993
what God's doing in your life.
440
00:21:56.993 --> 00:21:59.553
You wait for the golden opportunity
441
00:21:59.553 --> 00:22:03.573
and then you share with your
family and with your friends.
442
00:22:03.573 --> 00:22:06.713 line:15%
The world is changing. In
fact, it's more than changed.
443
00:22:06.713 --> 00:22:09.493
It's gone crazy. We are living in a world
444
00:22:09.493 --> 00:22:11.093
where faith is questioned
445
00:22:11.093 --> 00:22:13.613 line:15%
and sin is welcome, where people seem
446
00:22:13.613 --> 00:22:16.913
to have lost their minds
about what is right and wrong.
447
00:22:16.913 --> 00:22:19.453
It seems truth has been
turned upside down.
448
00:22:20.373 --> 00:22:21.733
In Rick Renner's book, How
449
00:22:21.733 --> 00:22:24.833
to Keep Your Head on Straight
in a World Gone Crazy,
450
00:22:24.833 --> 00:22:27.913
Rick reveals the disastrous
consequences of a society
451
00:22:27.913 --> 00:22:30.413
and spiritual and moral collapse.

In this book, you'll
discover what Christians need
453
00:22:32.953 --> 00:22:37.233 line:15%
to be doing to stay out of
the chaos and anchor to truth.
454
00:22:37.233 --> 00:22:40.113 line:15%
You'll learn how to stay
sensitive to the Holy Spirit,
455
00:22:40.113 --> 00:22:42.313
discern right and wrong teaching, how
456
00:22:42.313 --> 00:22:43.833
to be grounded in prayer,
457

and how to be spiritually prepared
458
00:22:45.553 --> 00:22:48.233

This is Rick Renner, and I'm standing
476
00:23:34.214 --> 00:23:37.334
outside our Tulsa Ministry
headquarters building,
477
00:23:37.334 --> 00:23:39.954
and this place is just amazing.
478
00:23:39.954 --> 00:23:42.714
If you're ever in Tulsa,
come by for a tour.
479
00:23:42.714 --> 00:23:44.774
I think that you will be blessed,
480
00:23:44.774 --> 00:23:47.454
but every day we hear from thousands
481
00:23:47.454 --> 00:23:51.234
and thousands of people who reach out to us either by email
482
00:23:51.234 --> 00:23:53.994
or phone calls and we minister to them.
483
00:23:53.994 --> 00:23:57.614
And it's such a blessing
and you are a part of it
484
00:23:57.614 --> 00:23:59.594
because you are a partner.
485
00:23:59.594 --> 00:24:02.734
And right now, our Ministry Expansion Project is paying
486
00:24:02.734 --> 00:24:04.394
off this facility.
487
00:24:04.394 --> 00:24:06.854
And when this facility
is paid off, it's going
488
00:24:06.854 --> 00:24:09.734
to release those funds so
that we can take the teaching
489
00:24:09.734 --> 00:24:11.854
of the Bible further to
the ends of the earth.
490
00:24:11.854 --> 00:24:16.560 line:15%

has already paid off 92%.

492
00:24:20.034 --> 00:24:22.594

00:24:30.094 --> 00:24:32.374 line:15%
so those funds can be released
497
00:24:32.374 --> 00:24:34.474 line:15%
and we can take the teaching of the Bible
498
00:24:34.474 --> 00:24:36.094 line:15%
to the ends of the earth?
499
00:24:36.094 --> 00:24:39.914 line:15%
That's the call that God
has put on our lives.
500
00:24:39.914 --> 00:24:43.655 line:15%

you really share a part in

what we are doing.
502
00:24:45.255 --> 00:24:47.195 line:15%
You put the fuel in the tank
503
00:24:47.195 --> 00:24:49.715 line:15%
and make it possible for us to do our work
504
00:24:49.715 --> 00:24:52.875 line:15%
and together we are partners with God.
505
00:24:52.875 --> 00:24:55.675 line:15%
But please pray about becoming a part
506
00:24:55.675 --> 00:24:57.715 line:15%
of the Ministry Expansion Project.
507
00:25:02.335 --> 00:25:03.775
Well, today we have seen
508
00:25:03.775 --> 00:25:08.195 line:15%
that the Holy Spirit prophesies undeniably, unmistakably,
509
00:25:08.195 --> 00:25:12.575 line:15%
absolutely clear that in the very, very end of the age,
510
00:25:12.575 --> 00:25:14.295 line:15%
there's going to come a
time when there's going
511
00:25:14.295 --> 00:25:17.895 line:15%
to be an infiltration of
demon spirits into the church
512
00:25:17.895 --> 00:25:21.155 line:15%
that's going to lead
people away from truth.
513
00:25:21.155 --> 00:25:23.115 line:15%
The Holy Spirit told us this
514
00:25:23.115 --> 00:25:25.955 line:15%
because we need to know it, especially us,
515
00:25:25.955 --> 00:25:29.235 line:15%
because God has tagged us to
live at the end of the age.
516
00:25:29.235 --> 00:25:31.355 line:15%
And nothing in scripture
is written to scare us,
517
00:25:31.355 --> 00:25:32.535 line:15%
absolutely nothing,
518
00:25:32.535 --> 00:25:36.115 line:15%
but God loves us so much
that he wants to prepare us.
519
00:25:36.115 --> 00:25:40.095 line:15%
And if we know what's coming,
then we can safeguard ourself,
520
00:25:40.095 --> 00:25:42.475 line:15%
our family, our children,
our grandchildren
521
00:25:42.475 --> 00:25:45.795 line:15%
to make sure they do not become victimized
522
00:25:45.795 --> 00:25:47.975 line:15%
by the infiltration of seducing spirits
523
00:25:47.975 --> 00:25:51.175 line:15%
and doctrines of demons in the
church at the end of the age.
524
00:25:51.175 --> 00:25:54.375 line:15%
Do you see how very
important this teaching is?
525
00:25:54.375 --> 00:25:58.635 line:15%
Thank God for 1 Timothy 4:1.
526
00:25:58.635 --> 00:26:00.975 line:15%
But the whole series is called How
527
00:26:00.975 --> 00:26:04.615 line:15%
to Keep Your Head on Straight
In a World Gone Crazy - comes
528
00:26:04.615 --> 00:26:08.035 line:15%
with a study guide, and I have
a book by the very same name.
529

And please, when you reach
out to us, let us know how
532
00:26:14.415 --> 00:26:17.116 line:15%

533
00:26:17.116 --> 00:26:18.615 line:15%
and are concerned for.
534
00:26:18.615 --> 00:26:20.016 line:15%
We would love to pray with you,
535
00:26:20.016 --> 00:26:21.796 line:15%
but I want to pray for you right now.
536
00:26:21.796 --> 00:26:23.096 line:15%
So put your hand on your heart.
537
00:26:23.096 --> 00:26:25.096 line:15%
Father, thank you that you love us
538
00:26:25.096 --> 00:26:26.916 line:15%
so much you've warned us in advance
539
00:26:26.916 --> 00:26:29.516 line:15%
of things which will occur
in the end of the age
540
00:26:29.516 --> 00:26:31.356 line:15%
so we would safeguard ourself.
541
00:26:31.356 --> 00:26:33.276 line:15%
Help us to really hear what you had to say
542
00:26:33.276 --> 00:26:35.496 line:15%
and to root ourselves in truth
543
00:26:35.496 --> 00:26:39.476 line:15%
and to not be moved from it in the wonderful name of Jesus
544
00:26:40.376 --> 00:26:42.336 line:15%
Amen. Now tomorrow we're going to come back.
545
00:26:42.336 --> 00:26:43.416
We're going to pick up right here.
546
00:26:43.416 --> 00:26:45.476
This is really important teaching,
547
00:26:45.476 --> 00:26:47.636
so please don't miss tomorrow's episode.
548
00:26:47.636 --> 00:26:51.476
But until then, remember that
Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
549
00:26:51.476 --> 00:26:54.576
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
550
00:26:55.476 --> 00:26:57.656
If you've never received Jesus as your savior
551
00:26:57.656 --> 00:26:59.936
and Lord, now is the time for you
552
00:26:59.936 --> 00:27:04.236
to experience a new life
Jesus has to give you.
553
00:27:04.236 --> 00:27:07.416
Pray this prayer with me right now.
554
00:27:07.416 --> 00:27:10.016
Lord, I repent of my sin
555
00:27:10.016 --> 00:27:13.636
and receive you as my savior and Lord.
556
00:27:13.636 --> 00:27:18.436
Wash away my sin and
make me completely new.
557
00:27:18.436 --> 00:27:22.116
I thank you that my sin is removed
558
00:27:22.116 --> 00:27:26.636
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
559
00:27:27.776 --> 00:27:31.656
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
560
00:27:31.656 --> 00:27:33.156
for the rest of my life -
561
00:27:34.256 --> 00:27:35.256
Amen.
