00:00:24.501 --> 00:00:27.070
This is Chaplain Terry Warner.
00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:33.372
I'm going to stop the music for a few moments so you can grab a pen and some paper for your foundation scriptures.
00:00:33.372 --> 00:00:44.554
If you can't get onto a computer because you are driving or at work, when you can get online, you will find my podcast and articles at "thechaplainscornernet.
00:00:44.554 --> 00:00:51.213
Starting at the beginning of the podcast, I will give you the season number and the episode number.
00:00:51.213 --> 00:00:53.387
Thank you so much for listening.
00:00:53.387 --> 00:00:58.347
My podcasts come out every Monday morning, and now let's get going.
00:00:58.347 --> 00:01:02.420
Hello friend, Chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:15.594
The title of this podcast is Faith and Grace, season 4, episode 18, and it will publish on Monday morning, april the 29th 2024.
00:01:15.594 --> 00:01:17.781
Let's get going.
00:01:18.543 --> 00:01:22.248
Ephesians 2, 8, 9, and 10.
00:01:23.129 --> 00:01:28.436
For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves.
00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:41.674
It is the gift of God, not by works so that no one can boast, for we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.
00:01:41.674 --> 00:01:45.126
By grace, Christ speaks to us.
00:01:45.126 --> 00:01:47.251
Jesus is the Word.
00:01:47.251 --> 00:01:48.301
The Word made flesh.
00:01:48.301 --> 00:01:51.325
The Bible is God speaking to me.
00:01:51.325 --> 00:01:59.903
On a side note, our God is the only true God that seeks out man and comes down to our level to redeem us.
00:02:00.722 --> 00:02:03.025
All other religions make man try and reach God.
00:02:03.025 --> 00:02:04.486
All other religions make man try and reach God.
00:02:04.486 --> 00:02:05.766
You didn't find God.
00:02:05.766 --> 00:02:17.396
God found you and when he found you, he chose you to abide in him in eternal relationship John 15, 16 and 17.
00:02:17.396 --> 00:02:42.002
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit.
00:02:42.002 --> 00:03:03.031
Then quote or tell God nicely and with reverence, that you have found in his word, the Bible, in other words, that's his Word, where you were promised to do whatever you would ask, where He was promised to do whatever you would ask if we prayed according to his will and in his name.
00:03:03.031 --> 00:03:04.742
So we pray.
00:03:04.742 --> 00:03:07.251
Lord Jesus, I need some Bibles.
00:03:07.251 --> 00:03:15.762
Forty would be nice, and I am asking right now, in your name, to honor this prayer request In Jesus' name.
00:03:15.762 --> 00:03:16.402
Amen.
00:03:16.402 --> 00:03:23.320
Now just keep thanking God for answering prayer and expect him to send them to you.
00:03:23.320 --> 00:03:28.372
Don't try and figure out how God is going to do it or when he's going to do it.
00:03:28.372 --> 00:03:30.105
He will send the Bibles.
00:03:30.105 --> 00:03:35.188
He will do it legitimately, he'll do it thankfully and he'll pay for them.
00:03:35.188 --> 00:03:42.912
It won't be done by some kind of side deal or anything else, or discount or anything else.
00:03:42.912 --> 00:03:43.873
God can afford it.
00:03:43.873 --> 00:03:47.282
He's waiting on you to ask and believe.
00:03:49.044 --> 00:03:56.715
John 1, 14, excuse me the Word Jesus became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
00:03:56.715 --> 00:04:04.032
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
00:04:04.032 --> 00:04:12.141
So, by faith, when God speaks to us, we respond with yes, thank you.
00:04:12.141 --> 00:04:12.842
So here we go.
00:04:12.842 --> 00:04:23.836
The Holy Spirit today speaks to you in the Word or the Bible, and said my God will meet all your needs according to all his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
00:04:23.836 --> 00:04:27.961
Philippians 4.19.
00:04:27.961 --> 00:04:34.341
It specifically says and my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
00:04:34.341 --> 00:04:38.036
Your response yes, thank you.
00:04:39.201 --> 00:04:43.492
Read it out loud, because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
00:04:43.492 --> 00:04:45.365
That's Romans 10, 17.
00:04:45.365 --> 00:04:55.389
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, either by reading it or speaking it, or hearing it, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.
00:04:55.389 --> 00:04:57.105
Romans 10, 17.
00:04:57.105 --> 00:04:59.627
Is the Bible the word of God?
00:04:59.627 --> 00:05:01.084
Yes, absolutely.
00:05:01.084 --> 00:05:03.605
Galatians 1, verse 11.
00:05:04.447 --> 00:05:09.146
I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preach is not something that man made up.
00:05:09.146 --> 00:05:13.762
I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it.
00:05:13.762 --> 00:05:17.430
Rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
00:05:17.430 --> 00:05:25.374
This is Paul writing the letter to the Galatians, and 2 Peter 1, 20 and 21.
00:05:25.374 --> 00:05:36.944
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation, for prophecy never had its origin in the will of man.
00:05:36.944 --> 00:05:41.427
But men spoke from God, as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
00:05:41.427 --> 00:05:48.286
So your response to faith coming by hearing, is yes, thank you.
00:05:48.286 --> 00:05:56.524
The Holy Spirit spoke to you and said man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:05:56.524 --> 00:05:58.266
Matthew 4.4.
00:05:58.266 --> 00:06:00.170
That's pretty plain.
00:06:00.170 --> 00:06:03.995
Your response yes, thank you.
00:06:05.721 --> 00:06:07.247
Ephesians 2, 8 and 9.
00:06:07.247 --> 00:06:17.891
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works so that no one can boast.
00:06:17.891 --> 00:06:21.970
And your response yes, thank you.
00:06:21.970 --> 00:06:33.370
God said to the Son sacrifice, an offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me With burnt offerings and sin offerings.
00:06:33.370 --> 00:06:34.353
You were not pleased.
00:06:34.353 --> 00:06:37.440
Then I said here am I.
00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:39.822
It is written about me in the scroll.
00:06:39.822 --> 00:06:42.665
I have come to do your will.
00:06:43.504 --> 00:06:54.312
Well, let's discuss a little bit right now who the body of Christ is.
00:06:54.312 --> 00:07:02.958
God, the Father, just made it very clear that he had constructed or made a specific body for Jesus while he was on this earth.
00:07:02.958 --> 00:07:13.185
Well, that body that Jesus was in while he was on this earth could be seen by everyone.
00:07:13.185 --> 00:07:17.851
Well, that body became sin for us, died for us, went to hell for us as a complete sacrifice for us.
00:07:17.851 --> 00:07:19.735
Where is that body now?
00:07:19.735 --> 00:07:28.000
It was judged and found guilty and left in hell with the devil.
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:35.187
So the body that was prepared for Jesus was raised incorruptible and Christ became the head of this spiritual body, or what we call the Church.
00:07:35.187 --> 00:07:46.225
Therefore, when the head of head, or Christ, directs the body to go somewhere or do something, it becomes our responsibility to get the head over to where the body needs to be.
00:07:46.225 --> 00:07:56.184
So the head Jesus can do mighty works and miracles and grow and add to the body and feed the body and nurture it and have it grow.
00:07:56.184 --> 00:08:08.798
For too long sorry I misspoke For too long the body has been trying to send the head by himself while they sit on the pews in the Churches.
00:08:08.798 --> 00:08:16.574
Believers, it is the head or Christ that directs the body, not you or your prayers or the body.
00:08:16.574 --> 00:08:27.370
You guide them and you're part of the body and you have a say-so and the Lord listens to your prayers and when they agree with the word of God and his will, your prayers get answered.
00:08:28.867 --> 00:08:29.750
What have we been doing?
00:08:29.750 --> 00:08:34.296
Mainly arguing and infighting and starting new churches and denominations.
00:08:34.296 --> 00:08:43.034
When I was called into the ministry this would have been late in 1972, I expected to pastor a Church.
00:08:43.034 --> 00:08:55.277
Instead, the Lord directed me to go around already established churches as a mediator to try and stop the splitting of churches over the charismatic movement that was coming into the church.
00:08:55.277 --> 00:09:07.375
The Lord had healed my eyes and I was assistant pastor in a major denomination and I was working on my ordination major denomination.
00:09:07.375 --> 00:09:12.277
The Lord healed my eyes and shortly after we were asked not to teach Sunday school anymore.
00:09:12.277 --> 00:09:14.091
My wife was Arlene.
00:09:14.091 --> 00:09:21.711
I didn't receive any more offers to assist in worship service and then, finally, we were asked to leave the church altogether.
00:09:21.711 --> 00:09:25.073
We weren't treated rough or anything else.
00:09:25.073 --> 00:09:28.916
It was nice and we quietly left that church.
00:09:30.785 --> 00:09:44.708
God moving today is not motivating you or guiding you to change the minds of politicians, the direction of political parties, or criticism of individuals and anyone else who doesn't agree with you.
00:09:44.708 --> 00:09:46.312
That's not the goal of the Bible.
00:09:46.312 --> 00:09:48.076
That's not the goal of the body of Christ.
00:09:48.076 --> 00:09:57.730
Our country is in a terrible condition and dangerous situation because we have been unable to come together and work as the body of Christ.
00:09:57.730 --> 00:10:05.306
Our social media corruption of our government, the body of Christ.
00:10:05.306 --> 00:10:07.549
Our social media corruption of our government, education, learning.
00:10:07.549 --> 00:10:10.316
Our open borders, abortion and everything else that is depraved and forbidden.
00:10:10.316 --> 00:10:12.707
We have embraced and thumbed our noses at God.
00:10:12.707 --> 00:10:17.767
We are acting out our sin in front of the world and daring God to try and intervene.
00:10:17.767 --> 00:10:21.115
Well, friend, god is about to intervene.
00:10:22.317 --> 00:10:23.500
Revelation 1.7,.
00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:32.748
Look, he is coming with the clouds and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him and all the people of the earth will mourn because of him.
00:10:32.748 --> 00:10:34.269
So shall it be.
00:10:34.269 --> 00:10:34.951
Amen.
00:10:34.951 --> 00:10:37.355
First Peter 4.10,.
00:10:37.355 --> 00:10:49.811
Each one of us should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully, administering God's grace in its various forms.
00:10:49.811 --> 00:10:51.418
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God.
00:10:51.418 --> 00:10:53.105
Are you speaking the very words of God?
00:10:53.105 --> 00:10:56.254
Are you speaking the words of the news media?
00:10:56.254 --> 00:10:59.125
Are you speaking the words of social media?
00:10:59.125 --> 00:11:07.895
Are you making friends and followers and disciples, or are you setting people apart and taking sides?
00:11:07.895 --> 00:11:17.215
Father, help me get the beam out of my own eye first before I try and get the speck out of everyone else's eye first.
00:11:17.215 --> 00:11:29.114
Let my response to your leading and direction be one of love and compassion to everyone, and my response is yes, thank you.
00:11:29.114 --> 00:11:33.000
You have a blessed day in Jesus' name.
00:11:34.505 --> 00:11:36.129
This has been Chaplain Terry Warner.
00:11:36.129 --> 00:11:38.716
My podcasts come out every Monday morning.
00:11:38.716 --> 00:11:41.288
When you go to my website, thechaplainscorner.
00:11:41.288 --> 00:11:46.339
net, there will be a drop-down menu for my website.
00:11:46.339 --> 00:11:53.158
If you would like to sign up for my newsletter, be assured that your information will never be sold or given out.
00:11:53.158 --> 00:12:09.164
I have started a group on LinkedIn called The Chaplain's Corner because my podcasts and articles are being used for Bible lessons and sermon notes for home and small church groups in Pakistan and Africa and other places around the world.
00:12:10.187 --> 00:12:20.489
I am also making plans to make the Chaplain's Corner a not-for-profit so people can donate money for Bibles to be distributed in Pakistan, to be distributed in Pakistan.
00:12:20.489 --> 00:12:30.366
This venture is ripe for fraud and scams, but I will be supplying the Bibles through a legitimate Christian bookstore in Pakistan.
00:12:30.366 --> 00:12:33.230
Also, please note that all monies donated will be used strictly for this ministry.
00:12:33.230 --> 00:12:36.533
Thank you so much for listening to my podcast.
00:12:36.533 --> 00:12:38.794
The Lord bless you and keep you.
00:12:38.794 --> 00:12:42.578
The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
00:12:42.578 --> 00:13:10.287
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace In Jesus' name, amen, thank you.
