Hello friend and welcome to thechaplainscornernet.
00:00:14.135 --> 00:00:21.885
I am interrupting the music for a few moments so you can grab a pen and some paper for your foundation scriptures.
00:00:21.885 --> 00:00:33.552
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.
00:00:33.552 --> 00:00:40.093
Starting at the beginning of the podcast, I will give you the season number and the episode number.
00:00:40.093 --> 00:00:41.902
Thank you for listening.
00:00:41.902 --> 00:00:44.767
My podcasts come out every Monday morning.
00:00:44.767 --> 00:00:49.393
Please like or follow me and thank you so much for listening.
00:00:49.393 --> 00:01:05.194
A little more music while I get ready.
00:01:05.194 --> 00:01:09.266
Hello friend, chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:01:09.266 --> 00:01:17.834
This podcast will be season 2025, episode 27.
00:01:17.834 --> 00:01:24.073
It will air around July 8th, july 9th 2025.
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:25.945
I got behind on schedule.
00:01:25.945 --> 00:01:30.069
You know I was thinking, I know dangerous.
00:01:30.069 --> 00:01:47.174
Anyway, still, I was thinking I try to impress Christ and try to do a good job for Jesus and try to be a good Christian, and that involves taking on the devil and fighting the devil and resisting the devil and he'll flee from me.
00:01:47.174 --> 00:02:00.915
But I find that most of us, if you're like me, most of us are too active in fighting the devil and not active enough in promoting the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:02:00.915 --> 00:02:02.064
Everything he did, he did for us, lord Jesus Christ.
00:02:02.064 --> 00:02:04.111
Everything he did, he did for us.
00:02:04.111 --> 00:02:11.540
We could not even handle the devil.
00:02:11.540 --> 00:02:17.887
Fight the devil, give, you know, discredit to the devil, had Christ not come along and saved us.
00:02:17.887 --> 00:02:24.812
Adam in the Garden of Eden, you know, gave the least of the earth over to the devil.
00:02:24.812 --> 00:02:28.137
He took his responsibility and he got rid of it.
00:02:28.137 --> 00:02:31.282
He abdicated it to the devil.
00:02:31.282 --> 00:02:45.245
Then it took the Son of God, coming down from heaven, coming down to our level, coming in the form of a man, but yet still God walking on this earth and defeating the devil using the Abrahamic covenant.
00:02:45.245 --> 00:02:52.256
He did not defeat the devil on his own power and own authority as to his position in Christ.
00:02:52.256 --> 00:02:55.062
He left that behind in heaven and he came to earth.
00:02:55.062 --> 00:02:56.966
But I digress.
00:02:56.966 --> 00:03:05.908
So what I'm saying today is we need to shift our focus from fighting the devil to promoting Jesus Christ.
00:03:05.908 --> 00:03:09.342
The kingdom of God is within you.
00:03:09.342 --> 00:03:11.385
It's within you.
00:03:12.127 --> 00:03:13.972
Now let's take a little bit of a look at something.
00:03:13.972 --> 00:03:26.096
I'm in 1 Corinthians and I'm going to start with 1 Corinthians 1, 1 Corinthians 4.
00:03:26.096 --> 00:03:45.289
I always thank God for you, because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus, for in him you have been enriched in every way, in all your speaking and in all your knowledge, because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
00:03:45.289 --> 00:04:09.322
Therefore, you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed, he will keep you strong into the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of the Lord Jesus Christ, god who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ.
00:04:09.322 --> 00:04:10.707
Our Lord is faithful.
00:04:10.707 --> 00:04:21.887
Jesus died, was buried, rose from the grave and is seated at the right hand of the Father, and that work is finished.
00:04:21.887 --> 00:04:25.149
The redemption work of God is finished.
00:04:25.149 --> 00:04:28.487
God has reconciled himself to the world.
00:04:28.487 --> 00:04:30.411
Get a hold of that.
00:04:30.411 --> 00:04:34.831
God has reconciled himself to the world.
00:04:34.831 --> 00:04:40.232
Jesus Christ has made unto me wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.
00:04:40.232 --> 00:04:42.800
2 Corinthians, 5.21.
00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:49.353
All right, now let's go here to uh, chapter two.
00:04:49.353 --> 00:04:51.142
I'm in first corinthians, chapter two.
00:04:51.142 --> 00:05:16.470
When I come to you, brothers, I did not come with elegance or superior wisdom as I proclaim to you the testimony about god, for I received, I resolved to know, hang on, for I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
00:05:16.470 --> 00:05:21.538
I came to you in weakness and fear and with much trembling.
00:05:21.538 --> 00:05:31.454
My message and my preaching were all not with wise and pervasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power.
00:05:31.454 --> 00:05:38.918
But with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom but on God's power.
00:05:38.918 --> 00:05:46.264
In other words, paul didn't come to them with all this doctor's degrees and training and everything else.
00:05:47.644 --> 00:05:53.267
And so many of us, we read the Word, we read the Word, we read the Word and what do we do?
00:05:53.267 --> 00:06:00.161
We go attack the devil and consequently, jesus is left out in the cold again.
00:06:00.161 --> 00:06:02.875
And we're reading the word and we read the word every day.
00:06:02.875 --> 00:06:04.098
We read the word every day.
00:06:04.098 --> 00:06:14.459
We read the word every day, but we don't see the power in our lives or the spiritual awakening that we should see.
00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:17.771
We are trudging along the heat and the cold.
00:06:17.771 --> 00:06:20.197
At the end of the road there's God.
00:06:22.281 --> 00:06:23.903
That's not what the Bible teaches.
00:06:23.903 --> 00:06:25.151
That's not what it says.
00:06:25.151 --> 00:06:29.401
It says we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ.
00:06:29.401 --> 00:06:32.076
It says I can do all things through Jesus Christ.
00:06:32.076 --> 00:06:33.401
It says in him I live and move and have my being in Jesus Christ.
00:06:33.401 --> 00:06:34.427
It says I can do all things through Jesus Christ.
00:06:34.427 --> 00:06:36.913
It says in him I live and move and have my being in Jesus Christ.
00:06:36.913 --> 00:06:41.201
It says let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus.
00:06:41.201 --> 00:06:46.153
Let his mind, let Christ's mind be in you.
00:06:46.153 --> 00:06:48.613
Who was in Christ Jesus.
00:06:52.516 --> 00:07:02.365
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
00:07:02.365 --> 00:07:13.451
No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
00:07:13.451 --> 00:07:19.475
None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord's glory.
00:07:19.475 --> 00:07:36.406
However, as it is written, no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him, but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
00:07:36.406 --> 00:07:48.737
The Spirit searches all the things, even the deep things of God, for who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?
00:07:48.737 --> 00:07:53.886
In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
00:07:53.886 --> 00:08:03.440
We have not received the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:15.622
This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truth and spiritual words.
00:08:15.622 --> 00:08:28.550
The man without the Spirit does not accept these things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
00:08:28.550 --> 00:08:29.853
The spirit.
00:08:29.853 --> 00:08:40.755
Man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment, for who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?
00:08:40.755 --> 00:08:44.078
But we have the mind of Christ.
00:08:44.078 --> 00:08:55.559
So once you give your heart to Jesus Christ, his wisdom, his righteousness, his sanctification, his redemption, complete awe resides inside you.
00:08:56.509 --> 00:08:57.131
And what do we do?
00:08:57.131 --> 00:09:04.634
Go around trying to say the right things at the right time to get the Lord to kick the devil out of our lives.
00:09:04.634 --> 00:09:06.840
We're missing the point.
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:08.123
We need to shift our focus.
00:09:08.123 --> 00:09:10.913
We have that power already within us.
00:09:10.913 --> 00:09:23.996
Christ's work would not have been complete in redemption, would not be complete and he could not have sat down on the right hand of the Father after raising from the dead, because the work wouldn't be finished.
00:09:23.996 --> 00:09:25.875
He's not doing anything.
00:09:25.875 --> 00:09:27.816
Why is he not doing anything?
00:09:27.816 --> 00:09:30.298
Because he's given us the power to do it.
00:09:30.298 --> 00:09:32.397
We have the lease on this earth.
00:09:32.397 --> 00:09:34.770
This earth belongs to the Christian.
00:09:34.770 --> 00:09:37.014
And who is the Christian?
00:09:37.014 --> 00:09:41.201
It's the body of Christ, jesus being the head.
00:09:41.201 --> 00:09:47.818
If he's the head, we're the tongue, we're the feet, we're the hands, we're the sight.
00:09:47.818 --> 00:09:50.850
You know, we're the smell, the taste.
00:09:50.850 --> 00:09:54.061
We are the body of Christ on this earth.
00:09:54.061 --> 00:09:56.496
It's time we started acting like it.
00:09:56.496 --> 00:09:59.558
Now let me hit one more point before I go.
00:10:01.311 --> 00:10:06.243
Everything you say, especially your words, they're containers.
00:10:06.243 --> 00:10:12.602
They carry thoughts, pictures, desires, you know, anger.
00:10:12.602 --> 00:10:18.899
They carry all kinds of things, but rest assured, every one of them is a seed.
00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:22.438
How did the world get formed by God?
00:10:22.438 --> 00:10:23.321
How did he do it?
00:10:23.321 --> 00:10:25.115
By speaking the word.
00:10:25.115 --> 00:10:27.875
How do we get our lives changed?
00:10:27.875 --> 00:10:29.321
By God?
00:10:29.321 --> 00:10:32.751
By speaking the word of God, by God, by speaking the word of God.
00:10:32.772 --> 00:10:39.315
Whatever you plant in that ground, in the earth, is going to grow up and become that plant.
00:10:39.315 --> 00:10:43.217
If you plant anger, you're going to grow up and become angry.
00:10:43.217 --> 00:10:47.320
If you plant lies, you're going to grow up and become a liar.
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:52.042
If you plant I don't know some other stuff, that just isn't good.
00:10:52.042 --> 00:10:58.365
No matter what you plant Now, if you plant compassion, you're going to be compassionate.
00:10:58.365 --> 00:11:01.947
If you plant love, you're going to be lovely.
00:11:01.947 --> 00:11:10.187
If you plant wisdom, you've got the mind of Christ.
00:11:10.187 --> 00:11:14.139
Don't plant wisdom and then give little earthly smart sayings that sound good but don't motivate the spirit.
00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:16.275
Speak the word of God.
00:11:16.275 --> 00:11:18.738
Speak something that will motivate the spirit.
00:11:18.738 --> 00:11:27.279
The man that gave you that smart saying might not have been a Christian, and you don't want to go around planting his seeds for him.
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.135
So you speak to what God says.
00:11:29.135 --> 00:11:31.054
Say what God says.
00:11:31.054 --> 00:11:32.591
Do what God says.
00:11:32.591 --> 00:11:32.993
Say what God says.
00:11:32.993 --> 00:11:33.695
Do what God does.
00:11:33.715 --> 00:11:56.710
You know, for a long time I always read the Bible as a spectator, and then one day the Holy Spirit said you know, terry, you need to change your focus, change your imagination, change that mindset and when you see jesus teaching, you need to see yourself teaching.
00:11:56.710 --> 00:11:58.313
That's what I am.
00:11:58.313 --> 00:11:59.014
I'm a teacher.
00:11:59.014 --> 00:12:00.197
I was called to be a teacher.
00:12:00.197 --> 00:12:04.592
I was called to be some other things, but mainly I was called to be a teacher.
00:12:04.592 --> 00:12:07.678
And so I saw myself teaching.
00:12:07.678 --> 00:12:12.494
Then the lord said terry, you need the time to move up again.
00:12:12.494 --> 00:12:14.541
It's time for a promotion.
00:12:14.541 --> 00:12:19.900
You need to see yourself bringing about the miracles in people's lives.
00:12:20.341 --> 00:12:20.923
I don't do it.
00:12:20.923 --> 00:12:23.158
It's the spirit within me that does it.
00:12:23.158 --> 00:12:26.359
I'm not doing this on my own power.
00:12:26.359 --> 00:12:31.787
Golly, I couldn't create an anchoring, much less say it correctly.
00:12:31.787 --> 00:12:35.027
You know everything.
00:12:35.027 --> 00:12:37.144
You say out of the abundance of the heart.
00:12:37.144 --> 00:12:53.611
The mouth speaks Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks Well, a lot of times, out of the abundance of the heart, the mind imagines and it says cast down imaginations, only keep the word of God in that imagination.
00:12:55.243 --> 00:12:56.206
Now I'll give you an example.
00:12:56.206 --> 00:13:01.147
I'm driving down the road and some idiot cuts me off in traffic.
00:13:01.147 --> 00:13:09.072
I used to shake my fist and yell at him till a car passed us one time and my granddaughter shook her fist and yelled at him.
00:13:09.072 --> 00:13:13.607
And then it dawned on me I was planting seeds without even realizing it.
00:13:13.607 --> 00:13:23.004
So now, when somebody passes me and cuts me off in traffic, I pray for them that they get where they're going to go safely Without a ticket.
00:13:23.004 --> 00:13:25.011
They get there in tune.
00:13:25.011 --> 00:13:32.994
I don't anger or display anger or impatience with them.
00:13:32.994 --> 00:13:37.784
Somebody's sitting at the red light that turns green.
00:13:37.784 --> 00:13:41.610
I don't blow the horn if they don't go, I just sit there.
00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:48.126
I will eventually if I have to, but I pray for them and usually praying for them gets them going.
00:13:48.126 --> 00:13:50.288
And you know, I've had people turn around and look at me.
00:13:50.288 --> 00:13:55.086
I think it's since something was going on, but I couldn't quite put your finger on it.
00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:57.923
You may be the prayer that person needs.
00:13:57.923 --> 00:14:02.772
Start acting like Jesus would act.
00:14:02.772 --> 00:14:05.642
Start walking like Jesus would walk.
00:14:05.642 --> 00:14:07.486
Start talking like Jesus would talk.
00:14:07.486 --> 00:14:10.081
Start doing miracles, like Jesus would do miracles.
00:14:10.081 --> 00:14:13.788
It's not you, it's the Spirit of God inside you.
00:14:13.788 --> 00:14:16.333
I have been crucified with Christ.
00:14:16.333 --> 00:14:23.222
Nevertheless, I live by Christ living in me, my hope and glory.
00:14:23.222 --> 00:14:24.706
Praise the Lord.
00:14:24.706 --> 00:14:26.230
Praise the Lord.
00:14:26.230 --> 00:14:27.893
Praise the Lord.
00:14:27.893 --> 00:14:30.967
Be careful of the words you speak.
00:14:30.967 --> 00:14:40.369
Make them nice and make them sweet, for tomorrow you just may have to eat those words, the words you speak.
00:14:40.369 --> 00:14:44.133
Make them nice and make them sweet, for tomorrow you just may have to eat those words.
00:14:44.133 --> 00:14:45.434
All right, you have a good day.
00:14:45.455 --> 00:14:46.796
I enjoyed this podcast today.
00:14:46.796 --> 00:14:48.518
Become God inside-minded.
00:14:48.518 --> 00:14:49.499
That's what I'm saying.
00:14:49.499 --> 00:14:54.216
Read 1 Corinthians, chapters 1 and 2.
00:14:54.216 --> 00:15:03.288
And then jump over in Colossians and Ephesians and find out what you can do, since Christ rose from the dead and conquered everything and put all things under your feet.
00:15:03.288 --> 00:15:10.707
Then, by golly, walk as Christ would walk, and let's trample the devil down in the dust.
00:15:10.707 --> 00:15:13.687
Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
00:15:13.687 --> 00:15:15.361
Praise the Lord.
00:15:15.361 --> 00:15:18.070
The Lord bless you and keep you.
00:15:18.070 --> 00:15:21.110
The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
