Greek fruit:  Meekness & Temperance

This has been Greek week here at Ironstrikes.  This week we have been looking at the Fruit of the Spirit.  How does an understanding of this Fruit improve when we examine how the Greek words are explained?  Hopefully, you have come to a deeper and more informed understanding this week.

The word "meekness" comes from the Greek word prautes, which depicts the  attitude or demeanor of a person who is forbearing, patient, and slow to respond in anger; one who remains in control of himself in the face of insults or injuries.  In the Greek language, the word prautes conveys the idea of a high & noble ideal to be aspired to in one's life.  Although an injurious situation may normally produce a rash or angry outburst, a meek person is controlled by kindness, gentleness, mildness, or even friendliness.  

The word "meekness" pictures a strong-willed person who has learned to submit his will to a higher authority.  He isn't weak, he is controlled.  He may in fact possess a strong will and a powerful character; he may be a person who has his own opinion.  But this person has learned the secret of submitting to those over him.  Thus, he is one who knows how to bring his will under control.  

This means when the Spirit is producing meekness in your life, you are controlled even in difficult circumstances.  Rather than fly into a rage and throw a temper tantrum, you are able to remain silent and keep your emotions and temper under control.  If you find yourself in a situation that you fiercely believe is wrong, you are still able to stay silent until the appropriate moment to speak or until you have been asked for your opinion.  You know how to control yourself and your emotions.  

In addition to these meanings, the word "meekness" was also used in a medical sense to denote soothing medication to calm the angry mind.  A meek person doesn't project the countenance of one who is offended, upset, angry, or reactive to insults or injuries.  Instead, he is so gentle and mild in his response that he becomes soothing medicine for the angry or upset soul, or for troublesome or upsetting situations.  

When meekness is being produced in you by the Holy Spirit, it will make you careful and controlled.  Your very presence will become God's soothing medication for angry, upset people, and you will impart peace to situations that hitherto were unsettling and unstable.

The word "temperance" comes from the Greek words en and kratos.  The word en means in, and the word kratos is the Greek word for power.  When compounded into one word, these two Greek words form the word enkrateia, which literally means in control and denotes power over one's self; hence, it is often translated as the word "self-control."  It suggests the control or restraint of one's passions, appetites, and desires.  

Just as a meek person can control his attitude, a person with temperance has power over his appetites, physical urges, passions, and desires.  Because the Holy Spirit has produced temperance in his life, he is able to say not to overeating, no to overindulging in fleshly activities, no to any excesses in the physical realm.  A person with temperance maintains a life of moderation and control.  The word enkrateia could be translated as restraint, moderation, discipline, balance, temperance, or self-control.

When a person is controlled by the Holy Spirit, God's Spirit produces in him a discipline over the physical realm that helps him sustain his physical condition, stay in good health, remain free from sin, and live a life that is moderate and balanced.

Now that you better understand the meanings of the word "meekness" and "temperance," consider how well you're doing in allowing the Holy Spirit to produce these two physical fruits in your life.  Do you demonstrate that you can control both your temper and your physical appetites and urges?  

Take a good look at yourself today to see if meekness and temperance are being produced in you.

Greek fruit:  Goodness & Faith

This is Greek week here at Ironstrikes.  This week we will be looking at the Fruit of the Spirit.  How does an understanding of this Fruit improve when we examine how the Greek words are explained?  Hopefully, you will come to a deeper and more informed understanding this week.


The word "goodness" is the Greek word agathusune, which come from the word agathos, meaning good.  But when agathos becomes the word agathusune, it means  goodness in the sense of being good to someone.  This word was used to portray a person who is generous, big-hearted, liberal, and charitable with his finances.  We would call this person a giver.  


The words "doing good" are from the word euergeteo, which is an old word that denoted a benefactor, a philanthropist, or one who financially supported charitable works.  This word would only be used to to describe a person who possessed great financial substance and who used it to assist those who were less fortunate.


So, when the Bible tells us that one of the Fruit of the Spirit is "goodness," God is letting us know that He wants us to be selfless, using our resources to help change people's living conditions for the better.  When the Spirit is working mightily in us, He shifts our focus from ourselves to the needs of those who are around us.


Thus, the Fruit of the Spirit called "goodness" is that supernatural urge in a person to reach beyond himself to meet the natural needs of those around him.  When a believer is walking in the Spirit, his eyes are supernaturally opened to see the needs of humanity, and his heart is moved to meet those needs.  This is why there is no greater benefactor or philanthropist than a person who is filled with the Spirit and who is producing the Fruit of the Spirit in his or her life!


The word "faith" is the Greed word pistis, which is the common New Testament word for faith.  However, in Galatians 5:22, it conveys the idea of a person who is faithful, reliable, loyal, and steadfast.  It pictures a person who is devoted, trustworthy dependable, dedicated, constant, and unwavering.  


This unchanging, constant, stable, unwavering behavior is the nature of God Himself.  Hence, when God is working in our lives, He makes us faithful and steadfast, just like Him.  God is faithful; therefore, we should expect faithfulness to grow in our lives as one of the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.


Does the Holy Spirit have enough freedom to produce "goodness" and "faithfulness" in your life today?  Are you selfish and self-seeking, consuming every spare dollar on yourself and never showing concern for the needs of this around you?  


Do others know you as as someone who is unstable, undependable, and unreliable?  If the answer is yes to either of these latter questions, doesn't this indicate that you aren't allowing the Holy Spirit to do His work in you?  If He truly had the freedom to operate in your life, the Fruit of the "goodness" and "faithfulness" would be evident in you.  


Don't you agree?

Greek fruit:  Longsuffering & Gentleness

This is Greek week here at Ironstrikes.  This week we will be looking at the Fruit of the Spirit.  How does an understanding of this Fruit improve when we examine how the Greek words are explained?  Hopefully, you will come to a deeper and more informed understanding this week.


The word, "long-suffering" is from the Greek word makrothumia, which is a compound of the words makros and thumos.  The word makros means long.  It is where we get the word macaroni, which of course, is a long noodle.  The word makros indicates something that is long, distant, far, remote, or of long duration.  The work thumos means anger, but it also embodies the idea of swelling emotions or a strong and growing passion about something.  When compounded into one word, it forms the word makrothumia, which pictures the patient restraint of anger and therefore denotes long-suffering.  It can be translated as the words forbearance and patience.  


The word makrothumia (long-suffering) is like a candle that has a very long wick and is therefore prepared to burn a long time.  It is ready to forbear and patiently wait until someone finally comes around, makes progress, changes, or hears what you are trying to communicate.  


If you don't allow "long-suffering" to work in you, you will end up frustrated with everyone all the time -- including yourself.  So decide to let the Holy Spirit supernaturally produce "long-suffering" in you today.  You'll be more tolerant of others, more peaceful with yourself, and a lot more loving and patient toward those whom you love and needs so much!


Not only do you need long-suffering, you also need gentleness.  The word "gentleness"  comes from the Greek word chrestotes, which means to show kindness or to be friendly to others and often depicted rulers, governors, or people who were kind, mild, and benevolent to their subjects.  Anyone who demonstrated this this quality of chrestotes was considered to be compassionate, considerate, sympathetic, humane, kind, or gentle.  


Some have noted that when the word chrestotes is applied to inter-human relationships, it conveys the idea of being adaptable to others.  Rather than harshly require everyone else to adapt to his own needs and desires, when chrestotes is working in a believer, he seems to become adaptable to the needs to those around him.


When the Holy Spirit is producing His fruit of gentleness in you, you'll hear yourself thinking and saying, "How can I be different for you?  Is there any way I can change that will help you?  Is there anything that I can do better for you?  How can I serve you and meet your needs more effectively?"


Do you find yourself thinking about how you can reach others?  Do you think of ways you can change to be a bigger blessing to people in your life?  If you are starting to consider how you can be more for those who are around you, that is a strong indication that the Fruit of the Spirit called "gentleness" is starting to work in you.  


And if it hasn't started to work in you yet, today would be a great day for you to ask the Holy Spirit to start producing this Christ-like attribute in your life!

Greek fruit:  JOY & PEACE

This is Greek week here at Ironstrikes.  This week we will be looking at the Fruit of the Spirit.  How does an understanding of this Fruit improve when we examine how the Greek words are explained?  Hopefully, you will come to a deeper and more informed understanding this week.


The Greek word for joy is chara, derived from the word charis, which is the Greek word for grace.  This is important to note, for it tell us that chara (joy) is produced by the charis (grace) of God.  This means joy isn't a human-based happiness that comes and goes.  Rather, true joy is divine in origin, a Fruit of the Spirit that is manifested particularly in hard times.  Joy is a Spirit-given expression that flourishes best when times are strenuous, daunting and tough!  Joy is unaffected by outward circumstance.  In fact, it usually thrives best when times are tough.  It is God's supernatural response to the devil's attacks!


The word peace comes from the Greek word eirene, the Greek equivalent for the Hebrew word shalom, which expresses the idea of wholeness, completeness, or tranquility in the soul that is unaffected by outward circumstance or pressures.  The word eirene strongly suggests the rule of order in place of chaos.  What person is dominated by eirene, he has a calm, inner stability that results in the ability to conduct himself peacefully, even in the midst of circumstances that would normally be very nerve-racking, traumatic, or upsetting.


The Hebrew counterpart, the word shalom, indicates that this dominating peace ultimately gives rise to prosperity in one's soul.  Rather than allowing the difficulties and pressures of life to break him, a person who is possessed by eirene is whole, complete, orderly, stable, and poised for blessing.  


So don't think that you have to give way to upsetting emotions in difficult or challenging moments.  If you allow the Holy Spirit to work in you, He will release a supernatural joy and dominating peace from way down deep inside you.  There Fruit of the Spirit have the power to keep you joyful, calm, stable, and peaceful, even though you are facing circumstances that would normally push you over the edge!

Greek fruit:  LOVE

This is Greek week here at Ironstrikes.  This week we will be looking at the Fruit of the Spirit.  How does an understanding of this Fruit improve when we examine how the Greek words are explained?  Hopefully, you will come to a deeper and more informed understanding this week.


The Greek word agape is the word chiefly used in the New Testament to depict the love of God.  The word agape is so filled with deep emotion and meaning that it is one of the most difficult words to translate in the New Testament.  


Agape occurs when an individuals sees, recognizes, understands, or appreciates the value of an object or a person, causing the viewer to behold this person or object in great esteem, awe, admiration, wonder, and sincere appreciation.  Such great respect is awakened in the heart of the observer for the object or person he is beholding that he is compelled to love it.  In fact, his love for that person or object is so strong that it is irresistible. 


In the New Testament, the best example of agape is found in John 3:16.  "For God so loved the world...," the word love is the word agape.


This means when God looked upon the human race, He stood in awe of mankind, even though man was lost in sin.  God admired man, He wondered at man; He held mankind in the highest appreciation.  God looked upon the world and saw His own image in man.  The human race was so precious to God and He loved man so deeply that His heart was stirred to reach out and do something to save him.  In other words, God's love drove Him to action.


You see, agape is love that loves so profoundly that it know no limits or boundaries in how far, wide, high, and deep it will go to show that love to its recipient.  If necessary, agape love will even sacrifice itself for the sake of that object or person it so deeply cherishes.  Agape is the highest form of love -- a sacrificial type of love that moves the lover to action.  


Agape is a love that has no strings attached.  It isn't looking for what it can get, but for what it can give.  Its awe of the one who is loved is so deep it is compelled to shower love upon that object or person regardless of the response.  This is the profound love God has for the human race, for He loved man when he was still lost in sin with no ability to love Him back.  God simply loved mankind without an thought or expectation of receiving love in return.


The Father loved us to the point of self-sacrifice.  Jesus' agape drove Him to lay down His life for us.  In the same way, we are to agape others to such a high extent that would be willing to lay down our lives for them.  If we are truly operating in agape and they don't respond in like fashion, it won't offend or hurt us.  We are not looking for what others can do for us; we are simply focused on how to love others with no strings attached.  The way other people respond to us has no effect on our desire to shower them with agape love.

My Strange Addiction

9/20/2014

A recent television series called MY STRANGE ADDICTION features tortured folks with varied compulsions such as bathing in bleach, collecting dead things, or ingesting chalk.  Each episode gives curious viewers a glimpse into the lives of those with unusual habits.  Sadly, these addictions are not habits that give people a full, rich, healthy life.

In his letter to the Romans, the apostle Paul details the human conflict between living according to the temptations of our sinful nature.  Far from casting stones at the sins of others, Paul said, "So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin."  The Greek word sarx, which Paul uses for sinful nature, is also the word translated elsewhere as "the flesh."  Paul is contrasting the life controlled by a mind set on the flesh with one controlled by a mind set on the Spirit.  Paul recognizes that a life driven by the carnal yearnings -- whether bodily for pleasure, food, or sex, or emotionally for status, power, or control -- contradicts God's law.

Pitting body against spirit was typical of ancient Greek thinking.  Sadly, centuries later many Christians are still tempted to view the body itself as bad.  But that's not what Scripture is saying.  In fact, as part of Paul's argument he reminds his audience that God's own Son was in the "likeness" of sinful flesh in order to be a sin offering on our behalf.  It's not the body that is bad, but rather it is the life that is controlled by the desires of the body that kills.  To be "obligated" to the flesh, Paul says, is to die.  To live a life driven by the Spirit is to live!

Greek lasciviousness

4/23/2014

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these:  Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness.   We've  discussed adultery and uncleanness.  Today, we conclude this three part series on Galatians 5:19 with a look at lasciviousness.  This strange word, comes from the Greek word aselgeia.  This word describes excess, but it primarily refers to the excessive consumption of food or wild, undisciplined living that is especially marked by unbridled sex.  The word aslegeia is listed as the principle sin of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and the reason that God destroyed them.  

It must be noted again that the word aselgeia also refers to the excessive consumption of food.  This means that in God's mind, it is just as perverted to overindulge in food as it is to engage in sinful sexual activities!  So how does that make you feel about overeating?

All of the works of the flesh can be forgiven -- but before forgiveness comes, sin must be acknowledged.  That is why we must understand what adultery, uncleanness and lasciviousness mean.  Once sin is comprehended, it can then be repented and confessed.  This is God's requirement.

If you have fallen into any of these sins, ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to see these sins as He sees them.  Once you get a revelation of His perspective, you won't want to be the same!  You'll understand the grossness of sin in God's sight, and you will want to be changed!

Once you confess your sin, God will forgive you and you can move on with your life.  If your actions have violated your spouse or someone else, pray for God's mighty grace to be upon them to forgive you.  Then begin to take whatever steps are necessary to make that relationship healthier than ever before.

Greek Uncleanness

4/22/2014

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these:  Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness.   

Yesterday we discussed adultery (porneia).  Today, we are going to talk about uncleanness and tomorrow, conclude this three part series on Galatians 5:19 with a look at lasciviousness.

The word uncleanness is the Greek word akatharsia, which is the word kathairowith prefix a added.  The word kathairo means cleansed or pure but when you add the prefix a, the condition is reversed, making the object dirty or unclean.  In the New Testatment, akatharsia refers to lewd or unclean thoughts that eventually produce lewd or unclean actions.  So, there is a strong suggestion that actions begin in the mind as unclean thoughts before they manifest as unclean deeds.

"And there was in the synagogue a man with an unclean spirit..."  The Greek actually says that this man was "gripped by the control of an unclean spirit."  It seems that this man had pondered on lewd thoughts for so long that he had thrown open the door for these to seize and control him.  In this verse the word akatharsia is used.  It implies that a demon found entrance into this man's life because he had committed mental prostitution.  He allowed his mind to dwell on things that were forbidden.

"A man with an unclean spirit met him..."   Here akatharsia is used in describing the man possessed by a legion of demons.  In Mark chapter one and now in chapter five, we have two men who are in the grip of an unclean spirit.  It appears that their demon-possessed condition started with impure, lewd, dirty thoughts, since the Greek word akatharsia is used in both verses.  Did Satan lure them into the pornography of unclean ideas or into adultery, and then build a stronghold of uncleanness so robust in their minds that he was able to eventually cause unclean actions to be manifested in their lives and thus completely control them?

Whatever you give your mind to will eventually be your master.   

Tomorrow, we will discuss the word lasciviousness.

Greek adultery

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these:  Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness.    

Today and the next two days, we are trying to understand a bit better what this verse is talking about.  Paul, writing in the Greek has very specific concepts in mind.  Today, we are talking about adultery and fornication, which both have the same Greek word:  porneia.  This word includes all sexual activity outside of marriage.

When using the word porneia in reference to a woman, it means prostitute.  The woman has entered into the sin of prostitution by selling herself.  This word does not just include professional prostitutes but describes any woman who has committed adultery.  

When using the word porneia in reference to a man who has committed adultery, it depicts a man who has had sexual intercourse with a prostitute.  The word porneia simply means that he slept with a prostitute.  So, in reference to adultery, whenever a man has sexual relations with a woman who is not his wife, God says his action is equivalent to seeking a prostitute for a cheap and dirty thrill.  

Pornography comes from the same Greek word.  In fact pornos (the same greek word for porneia) and grapho which means to write.  Thus pornography refers to the writings or reflections about prostitution (adultery).  This means that when an individual meditates on the writings or the photography contained in pornography, it is the equivalent of committing mental prostitution.  Mental prostitution sheds light on what Jesus said, "Whoever looks on a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."  

So, now you know the actual meaning of the Greek word adultery that is used throughout the New Testament. 

So how does this affect your view of someone who committed adultery?
How does this affect your view of pornography?
How does this affect your view of your own sexual sin?

Weight Control

4/11/2014

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight...

What is it that keeps you from living a life of obedience to God?  Do you struggle with a particular sin, habit or attitude?  

Every now and then, we all tolerate things in our lives that makes it difficult for us to please God.  And when we know we're not pleasing God, we typically  aren't happy with ourselves either.  This is one reason that Hebrews 12:1 tell us to "...lay aside every weight..."

The words "lay aside" are taken from the Greek work, apotithimi, a compound of the words apo and tithimi.  Apo meansaway and the word tithimi means to place or lay something down.  These two words when compounded gives a picture of someone who is laying something down while at the same time he is pushing it far away from himself.

Removing sin from our lives will not occur accidentally.  We must decide to change - to remove, to lay aside, to put away attitudes and actions that don't please God and adversely affect our walk of faith.

Also, this verse refers to these incorrect attitudes and actions as "weights."  The word "weight" is from the Greek word ogkos - a word that describes a burden or something so heavy and cumbersome that it impedes a runner from running the race as he should.

What if an athlete tries to run the race with loads of extra weight?  S/he certainly would not be able to run very far!  That is exactly what sinful attitudes and actions do to your walk with the LORD.  If you don't remove them, they will eventuallyweigh you down and knock you out of the race of faith!

The Holy Spirit is urging you and me to take a good look at our lives and then remove everything that weighs us down and keeps us from a life of obedience.  We must be honest with ourselves and with God.

Do you have a habit, attitude, action or sin that binds you?  Are you plagued by a fear that weighs you down and keeps you from fulfilling your potential in Christ?  Make a rock-solid, quality decision today to grab hold of those unnecessary burdens and remove, lay aside, and permanently put them away from your life.

Once you make that decision, you'll find yourself running your race of faith with much more ease as you press on to victory!
