Have you ever wondered why your declarations of faith don't seem to manifest in your life? This transformative episode unravels the mystery behind effective faith by examining the biblical principle that faith without works is dead.

Through a fresh perspective on Genesis, we discover God's original pattern for creation - speaking faith-filled words that directed the Holy Spirit to bring desired results into existence. This revelation challenges our modern understanding of faith, showing that it's not about manipulating God like a "cosmic vending machine" but about participating in His divine system of spiritual sowing and reaping.

I share a personal story about trying to believe for a pair of socks and why this approach failed, revealing the crucial missing element in many believers' faith practice. The episode explores the profound truth that we are spiritual beings with souls living in physical bodies, giving us authority in three realms. When we understand this three-part nature, we can properly align our words with God's will and allow the Holy Spirit to empower them.

Discover why Jesus taught about mustard seed faith and what it truly means that every believer has received "the measure of faith" - the same faith that raised Christ from the dead. Learn how to transform your faith from passive hope to active spiritual force that participates in God's creative process through proper spiritual principles.

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:13.599
Hello friend and welcome to thechaplainscorner.net.

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:21.440
I am interrupting the music for a few moments so you can grab a pen and some paper for your foundation scriptures.

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:33.039
If you can't get to a computer because you are driving or at work, when you can get online, you will find my podcasts and articles at thechaplainscorner.net.

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.600
Starting at the beginning of the podcast, I will give you the season number and the episode number.

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.280
Thank you for listening.

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.159
My podcasts come out every Monday morning.

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.640
Please like or follow me and thank you so much for listening.

00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.439
A little more music while I get ready.

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.920
Hello friend, Chaplain Terry Warner here.

00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.640
This will be Faith in Action.

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.560
It's season 2025, episode number 38.

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.359
Faith in Action is what I titled it, but a lot of times the computer changes the title a little bit.

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:34.000
It will air on September the 29th at one o'clock in the morning if you want to get up.

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:49.200
For as the human body apart from the spirit, our spirit man is lifeless or dead, so faith, which is now apart from its works, its actions, in other words, is dead.

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.959
That's James 226 amplified.

00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:58.319
I was always praying for items and then working hard to help God bring it to pass.

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.280
I thought I was using my faith when I was using my human skills.

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.080
That was the main reason that my faith was not working.

00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:13.199
It was because there was no action to bolster and help build my faith.

00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:22.159
But Chaplain Terry, the word says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, Romans 10 17.

00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:31.680
I remember one time I was going to start getting my faith to work by confessing and believing the Lord for a pair of socks.

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:44.159
I thought that by starting small and confessing that God would meet my needs according to Philippians four nineteen and voila, I would then believe for something bigger.

00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:50.159
That confessing and reading and hearing God's word did not make my socks materialize.

00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:51.120
Why?

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.280
Go to Genesis and look how God created everything.

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.960
He spoke the words that instructed the Holy Spirit to bring about the desired results.

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.039
He directed his faith filled words to the Holy Spirit.

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:19.280
God's words are filled with faith, and God, the Father, directed his words to the Holy Spirit, or to the Holy Spirit of God, who was moving across the expanse and waiting and listening for God's command.

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.960
If you will notice in Genesis 1 1, the word Elohim is used for God.

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:32.000
This word describing God in the Hebrew is plural and means more and able to bring about.

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.240
It is also masculine.

00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:40.159
In contrast, the word earth referring to our planet is feminine.

00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:47.199
God speaks the word and in doing so plants words or seeds to bring about a desired result.

00:03:48.560 --> 00:04:10.159
He is not a gumball machine that we can say something magic words to and he out produces a product or manipulate or force him or command him to do something that's not out of that's not in his will or in his way to go.

00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.560
I didn't need a pair of socks.

00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:22.720
I didn't need to get God to move because of my faith, no matter how much I believed for them or uh wanted them.

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.920
That wasn't what God meant when he said that.

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:37.360
In the physical world, we plant a seed into the earth to bring about plants that we can use for food, clothing, and meet our physical needs.

00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:55.920
If I wanted a pair of socks, I need to find somebody that needs socks, or somebody that needs something, and I need to plant a seed by helping them out and showing them things, how God does things, and in my harvest, I'll be given a pair of socks.

00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:04.319
The seed has the necessary ingredients to activate the earth and fertilize the plant to bring about a harvest.

00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.360
Do you ever wonder why God was not created until the end of the sixth day?

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:22.079
You know, if God had created us in the fourth day, we would have had to tread water until He sh uh showed up and created us or finished the creation on the sixth day.

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.680
God is the God of seed planting.

00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:32.560
Everything in this earth was seed, and it was planted and it grew and matured.

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:37.519
And that's what Jesus meant on the mustard seed size of faith.

00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.639
The mustard seed is just a comparison seed.

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.040
It doesn't take a lot of a lot of faith.

00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.360
It just takes some faith.

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.360
It takes the same measure of faith that God used when he raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:58.240
That was the amount of faith required to raise raise you from the dead with Christ Jesus.

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.399
That same measure of faith.

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:07.120
There is given unto man the measure of faith, not a measure, but the measure.

00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.040
This is also true in the spirit world.

00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.560
To operate and live in this world you must have a body.

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:25.839
That is why God created man as a spirit, and the man has a soul, made up of his mind, his will, and his emotions, and he lives in a body, his earth suit.

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:34.319
When creating Adam, he gave this being, man, authority in three worlds spirit, soul, and body.

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:49.040
The Spirit of God is the main authority over everything, and if you are a Christian or have given your heart over to Christ, the Holy Spirit can take your words and control what happens when you start speaking God's word.

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.920
It is the Spirit who gives life.

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.600
He is the life giver.

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.560
The flesh conveys no benefit.

00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:57.920
Whatever.

00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.639
There is no profit in it, in other words.

00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:05.920
The words or truth that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life.

00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.480
Everything in our world is done and established through words that we speak.

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:18.240
If you want a longer teaching, just stay with me a few weeks because I'm gonna be d dwelling on this.

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.000
We are a spirit.

00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.120
We have a soul and we live in a body.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.399
And that's why Jesus had to come to earth.

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.160
If you don't have a body, you have no authority on this earth.

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.199
We'll get into that as we get going on.

00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:35.600
Thank you so much for listening.

00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:37.360
You have a blessed day.

00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:38.959
In Jesus' name.

00:07:39.279 --> 00:08:06.639

You need prayers answered, send me a prayer request.

00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.959
I'll talk with you personally and pray for you.

00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:24.879
You have a blessed day.

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.480
In Jesus' name.

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:27.439
Amen.
