BC to AD: Your Spiritual Timeline
Our spiritual journey mirrors the BC/AD division of human history, marking a profound transition from countdown to new life when we accept Christ.
• Christ's birth was so monumental it divided time into before and after
• Even non-believers acknowledge Christ's existence when dating documents
• Our spiritual lives have BC (before accepting Christ) and AD (after decision) periods
• The longer we stay from Jesus, the closer we come to meeting Him
• Accepting Jesus moves us from BC countdown to AD new life
• Our birthday in Christ is renewed every morning through God's mercy
• Scripture tells us "old things are passed away; behold, all things become new"
• We must stop feeding the "BC" elements of our past life
• God's words are spirit and life that nourish our spiritual growth
• Death and life are in the power of our tongue—speak AD life, not BC death
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and start having a brand new birthday every morning when Christ renews your spirit as soon as your feet hit the floor.

00:00:08.470 --> 00:00:12.896
Hello, friend, and welcome to thechaplainscornernet.
00:00:12.896 --> 00:00:20.646
I am interrupting the music for a few moments so you can grab a pen and some paper for your foundation scriptures.
00:00:20.646 --> 00:00:32.695
If you can't get to a computer because you are driving or at work, when you can get online, you will find my podcast and articles at thechaplainscornernet.
00:00:32.695 --> 00:00:38.889
Starting at the beginning of the podcast, I will give you the season number and the episode number.
00:00:38.889 --> 00:00:40.652
Thank you for listening.
00:00:40.652 --> 00:00:43.545
My podcasts come out every Monday morning.
00:00:43.545 --> 00:00:48.161
Please like or follow me and thank you so much for listening.
00:00:48.161 --> 00:00:50.503
A little more music while I get ready.
00:00:50.503 --> 00:01:09.876
Hello friend, Chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:01:09.876 --> 00:01:15.802
Today's podcast is BC or AD?
00:01:15.802 --> 00:01:19.010
It's Series 3, episode 39.
00:01:19.010 --> 00:01:28.578
It will air on September, the 25th 2023.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:52.594
The foundation scriptures is Hebrews 13: 8; BC stands for Before Christ, AD stands for After Christ or Anno Domini, and it's measured in time and years, and in the past times and years it was calculated or counted by what emperor or king or dictator was in power at the time.
00:01:52.594 --> 00:02:01.313
No ruler wanted a zero for their first year, so there was never a zero year to get started for their era of time.
00:02:01.313 --> 00:02:06.932
However, we still set December the 25th as the birth of Christ.
00:02:06.932 --> 00:02:09.828
Was he born on December the 25th?
00:02:09.828 --> 00:02:10.711
Probably not.
00:02:10.711 --> 00:02:20.902
We probably don't know an exact birthday that we know of, but that's the day we picked to celebrate the birth of Christ, and that's the way it is.
00:02:20.902 --> 00:02:28.962
This birth was so monumental and so noted that the whole world celebrates the birth of Christ on this day.
00:02:28.962 --> 00:02:38.288
As a matter of fact, it divided the time into before Christ and after Christ, and it still remains to that day.
00:02:38.288 --> 00:02:46.010
Time is for man and not for God, as God is eternal in both directions of time, backwards and forwards.
00:02:46.010 --> 00:02:54.234
It is an earthly measurement of eras and epochs, with notable people inserting their era into the equation.
00:02:54.234 --> 00:03:25.352
Either way, no birth has ever divided the segment of time in any way, except the birth of Christ, and even the non-believers who do not believe in him the Orthodox Jews, the Communists, the Socialists, the Agnostics affirm his existence when they sign documents by dating the document with a year, noting that a document is invalid if not correctly dated.
00:03:25.352 --> 00:03:32.092
Either way, history is divided into two sections before Christ or after Christ.
00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:36.330
Everything BC is counting down to a particular event.
00:03:36.330 --> 00:03:43.294
On New Year's Eve, we watch the ball come down and we count the ball down.
00:03:43.294 --> 00:04:02.729
Come down and we count the ball down hours, minutes, to the last seconds, and we start counting it down to zero, and then zero and midnight meet at the one and same time and then we start counting up not from zero but from one.
00:04:02.729 --> 00:04:04.961
Chaplain.
00:04:04.961 --> 00:04:09.704
Terry, that's all fine and dandy, but what and how is this related to my spiritual walk?
00:04:09.704 --> 00:04:11.768
I'm glad you asked.
00:04:11.768 --> 00:04:15.902
You were born into this world and your time started counting.
00:04:15.902 --> 00:04:22.863
Actually, you were growing older, but your eternal time was counting down from BC to AD.
00:04:22.863 --> 00:04:31.603
The longer you stayed away from accepting Jesus, the closer you came to AD time.
00:04:31.603 --> 00:04:33.105
Think about that.
00:04:33.105 --> 00:04:39.120
The longer you stayed away from Jesus, you're counting down to the time that you meet him.
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:48.454
Then one day you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and immediately you started moving away from BC and started living in AD.
00:04:48.454 --> 00:04:54.463
The closer you get to Jesus, the lower your BC stuff hangs around.
00:04:55.826 --> 00:04:57.670
Your birthday in Christ.
00:04:57.670 --> 00:05:00.497
Your AD era is new every morning.
00:05:00.497 --> 00:05:04.074
Lamentations 3: 22, 23.
00:05:04.074 --> 00:05:10.697
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not.
00:05:10.697 --> 00:05:12.850
They are new every morning.
00:05:12.850 --> 00:05:15.271
Great is your faithfulness.
00:05:16.750 --> 00:05:18.305
2 Corinthians 5: 17.
00:05:18.305 --> 00:05:23.555
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.
00:05:23.555 --> 00:05:25.819
Old things are passed away.
00:05:25.819 --> 00:05:27.807
The BC's in your life.
00:05:27.807 --> 00:05:30.612
Behold all things become new.
00:05:30.612 --> 00:05:34.598
Quit feeding the BC's of your life.
00:05:34.598 --> 00:05:37.389
They are dead and have been done away with.
00:05:38.372 --> 00:05:40.016
Start feeding your spirit man.
00:05:40.016 --> 00:05:47.495
John 6: 63 says it is the spirit that quickens, or makes alive the flesh.
00:05:47.495 --> 00:05:52.990
The senses, profit, nothing the words that I speak unto you.
00:05:52.990 --> 00:05:54.776
They are spirit and they are life.
00:05:54.776 --> 00:06:00.771
Let me read that without interjecting so it's a little clearer John 6: 63.
00:06:00.771 --> 00:06:06.637
It is the spirit that quickens the flesh profits nothing.
00:06:06.637 --> 00:06:09.230
The words that I speak unto you.
00:06:09.230 --> 00:06:11.076
They are spirit and they are life.
00:06:11.076 --> 00:06:13.271
That was Jesus talking.
00:06:13.271 --> 00:06:15.632
And how about this one?
00:06:15.632 --> 00:06:22.125
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
00:06:22.125 --> 00:06:24.649
Proverbs 18: 20 and 21.
00:06:25.891 --> 00:06:28.154
Start living and speaking AD today.
00:06:28.154 --> 00:06:34.108
You are no longer living the rules, laws and dictates of the past.
00:06:34.108 --> 00:06:36.593
Stop and think about it.
00:06:36.593 --> 00:06:40.139
Quit feeding the BCs in your life.
00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:43.713
Quit dragging up the dead things.
00:06:43.713 --> 00:06:53.733
Quit dragging up the stuff that Christ got rid of and that's everything that opposes itself to the word of God and everything that opposes itself to God.
00:06:53.733 --> 00:07:09.615
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and start having a brand new birthday every morning when Christ renews your spirit as soon as your feet hit the floor, you have a blessed day.
00:07:09.615 --> 00:07:12.466
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:07:12.466 --> 00:07:15.629
