00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.799
Hello friend, Chapman Terry Warner here.
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:55.840
This will be podcast number E50 season twenty twenty five.
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:07.519
I generally give the season first Podcast season twenty twenty five episode fifty five zero Getting out of the hole that you dug for yourself.
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.760
Ha you like that?
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.319
I talked to myself.
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.719
Don't think don't think you're the only one.
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.920
I'm gonna start in Hosea fourteen.
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.239
That's a good place to start.
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:30.079
O Israel, return to the Lord your God, for you have stumbled and fallen, visited by calamity due to your iniquity.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.680
Take with you words and return to the Lord.
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:49.120
Say to him, Take away all our iniquity, except what is good, and receive us graciously, so we will render our thanks as bullocks, to be sacrificed, and pay the confession of our lips.
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.599
Hebrews thirteen fifteen, Hosea fourteen one and two amplified.
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:09.919
Through him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of the lips that faithfully acknowledge and confess and glorify his name.
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.800
Hebrews thirteen fifteen amplified.
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:22.879
You know, we think about praise and we try to praise and we try to praise a little bit, but we're going around in a funk all the time because things are just not working out.
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.479
We oh we put up a good front, we put up a good face, and we make a good show of everything.
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:37.280
But this world is a rotten world, and its sin has just about wreaked all the destruction it's going to wreak before the Lord returns.
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:48.319
And here we are still plugged in around in the mud and the mire and the muck, trying to build a kingdom for God, but we can't even build a kingdom for ourselves.
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:50.400
And it starts with us first.
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.000
It starts with God.
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.719
God started first, don't get me wrong.
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.120
But your condition and your circumstances have got to come from your heart.
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.080
Have got to come out your mouth, and you've got to speak it.
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:07.759
And it's got to be something more than just reading it out of a book or saying it a certain way.
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:18.000
Leviticus seven verse twelve says it explains that the he explains I duplicated there.
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:30.560
The regulations for a thanksgiving peace offering, a sacrifice offered in gratitude for God's blessing, such as deliverance from danger, are a serious illness.
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:38.319
The offering is unique and it includes not only unleavened bread mixed with oil, but also leavened cakes.
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:51.439
The leaven of the leavened bread, the addition of the leavened bread, symbolizes that while the offerer is thankful, they still acknowledge their human imperfection and sinfulness.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.599
That's the old AI kicking in and re explain it a little better.
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:04.800
I use AI occasionally, but I make sure I read every word first before it's published.
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:14.319
Peace, peace to him who is far off, both Jew and Gentile, and to him who is near, says the Lord.
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:22.399
I create the fruit of his lips, and I will heal him, make his lips blossom anew with speech and thankful praise.
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.639
Isaiah fifty seven nineteen.
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.399
But what do we do?
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.759
Instead of speaking the words of praise and thankfulness and gratitude, what do we do?
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:37.360
We gripe and complain and blame God for our condition and circumstances.
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.079
God didn't put us here to be a bunch of complainers.
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:49.680
He put us here to bless us, have fellowship with us, and let us be kings and priests over this earth and rule.
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.360
Well, if you're a king, that means that this earth is your kingdom.
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.600
The body of Christ is your kingdom.
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.240
Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven.
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.040
Whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven.
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.120
So loose the ministry and angels today.
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:12.319
Loose the angels of healing and sick and sickness, not sickness, but healing from sickness.
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:19.680
The offering is unique because it includes not only leavened bread mixed with oil, but also leavened cakes.
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:20.720
I said that.
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:29.199
This addition of the leavened bread symbolizes that while the offerer is thankful, they still acknowledge their human imperfection and sinfulness.
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.839
Peace, peace to him who is both far off, both Jew and Gentile, and to him who is near.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.959
You know, when Jesus was born, peace on earth, good will toward men.
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.759
God is a God of love, compassion, slow to anger, plenteous in mercy.
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.720
What in the world happened to that image of God?
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:50.560
Well, I'll tell you what happened to it.
00:05:50.639 --> 00:06:01.279
The devil got in and twisted it and turned it around and got everyone believing God struck them with lightning or hit them with something or give them some kind of signature disease to teach us something.
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.839
It says the Holy Spirit is our teacher.
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.600
He will guide us into all truth, not the devil.
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.839
Stop and think and realize God is not the problem.
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:18.240
The devil is our problem, and it's actually the spirit of the devil.
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:19.680
It's not a person.
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.160
I tell you, there's a bunch of jerks in this world.
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.160
There's a bunch of hypocrites.
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.879
But, you know, welcome to the club.
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.920
But our battle is not against flesh and blood.
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.439
In other words, it's not against a personality or a politician.
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:35.680
Where was I?
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:49.759
For the promise of the Holy Spirit is to and for you and your children, and to all who are far away, even as to many as the Lord invites and bids him to come to himself.
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:50.480
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as the Lord has said, and among the remnant of survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.879
Acts two, seventeen through twenty one.
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.720
All year long we've been planting seeds with our words that come from our mouth.
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:13.360
Well, we have been planting seeds with words coming out of our hearts, and manifesting are being made real to our physical life by coming out of our mouth.
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:22.879
We then believe our words and act on them and wonder why our lifestyle is that of living in a hellish pit.
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:24.319
Well look at your words.
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.000
It's just that simple.
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.600
So how do we get out of this hole that we made with our words?
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:42.960
Our first step is that we need to realize that the battle is taking place, it originates and starts with thoughts, then the words, then those speaking of the words, and bringing it to pass to the words that come out of our mouth.
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.519
You're never going to rise above your confession.
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.639
You're never going to get any better than what's coming out of your mouth.
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.879
What's coming out your mouth?
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:52.639
Is it TV?
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:53.440
Is it social?
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:54.799
Is it me social media?
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:55.919
Is it Facebook?
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.000
I shouldn't say Facebook.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.600
I retract that Facebook.
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:00.639
Is it FB?
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:02.320
Is it TW?
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:04.559
Not me.
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:05.919
Not my TW.
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.639
So how do you handle your thoughts?
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.159
In short, you don't.
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:17.840
But basically you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to control your words and drive the unbelieving.
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:26.799
I can do it myself, and I realize that the thoughts coming into your heart, also your soul and physical senses, including your conscience.
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:37.279
It's being set into motion, absorbed into your mind, and those words, thoughts are conceived and brought forth or into action by your lifestyle and words.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:38.480
I can do it.
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:40.320
I'm a self-made man.
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:41.919
I don't need anybody.
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.000
I can do it by myself.
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.879
Oh yeah, don't we wish?
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:55.200
And all of that is started by something small, namely your tongue, that can only be tamed or controlled by the Holy Spirit.
00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:07.759
A born-again Christian cannot be demon possessed, but in a lot of cases, a lot of born-again Christians are living a life of hell because they are staying away and living outside of the Word of the Holy Bible.
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:16.240
Today, if you will repent and start studying and following the words of Jesus, you can start filling in the hole that you've dug for yourself.
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.480
However, you must start seeing yourself as what God intended you to be.
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.720
To start, start by walking in love toward everyone.
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.879
Loving others is more than just being nice and considerate toward others.
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:33.279
The next step I would recommend would be to start reading and listening to God's word.
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.200
This is done by doing and acting like Jesus, is alive in your life here on the earth.
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:44.960
And if you're a Christian, if you've given your heart to Jesus Christ, he is actually living on the inside of you.
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.360
The kingdom of God is within you.
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.879
You bow your head, you're looking at the Holy Spirit.
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.279
Look no further than yourself.
00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:10.480
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus, the Word, who being in the very nature of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.720
Philippians 2, 5 and 7.
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:14.080
That's the NIV.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:19.759
The bouquet of flowers you're picking today are from the seeds you planted yesterday.
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.720
Don't like the look and smell your bouquet?
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.080
Then change your seeds.
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.519
You have a blessed day in Jesus' name.
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:30.799
Amen.
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.360

The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace in Jesus' name.
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.279
Amen.
