Hello, finn Chaplain, terry Warner here.

00:00:03.165 --> 00:00:06.732
This is Seed Time and Harvest, lesson 5.

00:00:06.732 --> 00:00:12.106
It will air on January the 29th on the Internet.

00:00:12.106 --> 00:00:17.054
The podcast will be January the 27th.

00:00:17.054 --> 00:00:33.265
The main theme of these five lessons has been planting seeds and expecting a harvest and I decided that, because the podcast is growing so much, to start putting it on verbal podcast and also putting the podcast video podcast on YouTube.

00:00:33.265 --> 00:00:35.770
So this is my first one on YouTube.

00:00:36.893 --> 00:00:45.292
I'll warn you right now I'm not photogenic, maybe photo nutty, photo nutty, but anyway.

00:00:45.292 --> 00:00:48.057
So let's get going with it.

00:00:48.057 --> 00:00:49.119
We're going.

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:56.439
We've been talking all week in case you haven't been on about planting seeds, seed time and harvest, seed time and harvest.

00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:01.082
So we're going to shift a little bit to the next step and the final step in this series.

00:01:01.082 --> 00:01:02.942
And the final step in this series.

00:01:02.942 --> 00:01:08.165
We'll shift our focus on how to plant seeds and start harvesting.

00:01:09.406 --> 00:01:31.876
So many of us, if not all of us, are good at planting seeds everywhere we go and then go to bed, rise up, plant more seeds and we seed, and we seed, and we seed, we sow, we sow, we sow and we plant seeds and the next thing, you know, we've got seeds planted all over the place.

00:01:31.876 --> 00:01:37.563
Some of them are sown, some of them are scattered, some of them are just thrown out the window.

00:01:37.563 --> 00:01:40.831
But anyway, we're good at planting seeds.

00:01:40.831 --> 00:01:48.150
What we're not good at, as a rule rule, is receiving from God the harvest of the seeds.

00:01:48.150 --> 00:01:57.003
So we struggled every day and we work harder to make more money to further the kingdom of God, and there's nothing wrong with that.

00:01:57.003 --> 00:01:57.924
That that's good.

00:01:57.924 --> 00:01:59.388
That's it's good that we do that.

00:01:59.388 --> 00:02:06.563
But the point of it is we need to be able to direct our giving specifically to a particular place.

00:02:06.563 --> 00:02:11.347
If you hear the paper shuffling, it's my parkinson's making my hands shake.

00:02:11.347 --> 00:02:20.073
I'll try not to do that.

00:02:20.112 --> 00:02:25.276
Good at planting seeds everywhere and then go to bed and rise up, plant more seeds.

00:02:25.276 --> 00:02:27.961
Go to bed, rise up, plant more seeds.

00:02:27.961 --> 00:02:29.264
You get the idea.

00:02:29.264 --> 00:02:35.296
And he said this is jesus, so is the kingdom of god.

00:02:35.296 --> 00:02:49.707
As if a man shall cast seed into the ground the word, your words and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed your words, should spring and grow up.

00:02:49.707 --> 00:03:10.931
He knows not how intrinsically good man, out of the good treasures of stored seeds in his heart, produces what is upright, honorable and intrinsically good.

00:03:10.931 --> 00:03:22.545
And Then the evil man out of the evil storehouse brings forth fruit, that which departed Is wicked and intrinsically evil.

00:03:22.545 --> 00:03:44.575
For out of the abundance or overflow of what is in your heart, his mouth speaks and and then, in forty six, jesus says why do you call me jesus, lord, lord, and do not practice what I tell you, practice what that's me.

00:03:44.575 --> 00:03:47.817
That's not jesus.

00:03:47.977 --> 00:04:12.306
Matthew fifteen, thirteen, fifteen, nineteen, says for out of the heart comes evil thoughts, reasonings and disputing and designs such as murder, adultery, sexual vice, theft and irreverent speech.

00:04:12.306 --> 00:04:16.088
These are what makes a man unclean and defiles him.

00:04:16.088 --> 00:04:20.497
But eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean or defiled.

00:04:20.497 --> 00:04:29.158
In other words, what goes in your mouth, goes into your stomach and then gets out of the body is not going to make you unclean.

00:04:29.158 --> 00:04:30.915
It's what comes out of the heart.

00:04:30.915 --> 00:04:34.115
It's what's in there in your heart that defiles you.

00:04:34.115 --> 00:04:36.230
By your words you're justified.

00:04:36.230 --> 00:04:43.252
By your words you're condemned, and those words are formed in your heart by what you have in your heart in abundance.

00:04:43.252 --> 00:04:54.391
For the earth brings forth fruit of herself, first the blade, then the ear after that, then the full corn in the ear.

00:04:54.391 --> 00:04:59.214
But when the fruit is ripe, in other words, your words come to pass.

00:04:59.214 --> 00:05:22.766
If you look in Genesis, where God created the heavens in the earth, you'll see that God is male and you'll see that the earth is female.

00:05:22.766 --> 00:05:25.533
The seeds are planted in the earth.

00:05:25.533 --> 00:05:28.358
The seeds are planted in your heart.

00:05:28.358 --> 00:05:30.583
That's the relationship.

00:05:30.642 --> 00:05:40.180
Right there, most of us in the blabbing grab it plan know these verses by heart, but continue to struggle with bringing to pass our words.

00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:45.014
We struggle and try our best but are continually disappointed and frustrated.

00:05:45.014 --> 00:05:53.834
Well, do you remember that god said in amos 3, 3, can two walk together except they be agreed?

00:05:53.834 --> 00:05:59.413
You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, even this whole nation.

00:05:59.413 --> 00:06:00.274
That's leviticus.

00:06:00.274 --> 00:06:04.043
That refers to leviticus 26, 14 through 17.

00:06:04.764 --> 00:06:20.079
I'm reading out of malachi bring all the tithes, the whole tenth of your income, that there may be food in my god's, in my house, god's house, and prove me now, says the lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you.

00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:35.853
The quickest way to get a nation blessed is by getting the people blessed, by doing what god says to do, by planting seeds, and then he'll pour you out a blessing that there should not be room enough to receive it.

00:06:35.853 --> 00:06:39.877
Malachi, two, two, ever had your kids?

00:06:39.877 --> 00:06:47.843
Or do you remember when you were a kid and your parents told or made you do something.

00:06:47.843 --> 00:06:54.367
They could see it maybe where they couldn't and did it, but what happened to your reward?

00:06:54.367 --> 00:07:01.103
Your attitude and words and lifestyle prevented you from receiving a blessing from your parents.

00:07:01.103 --> 00:07:04.918
Don't let the same thing happen between you and god.

00:07:04.918 --> 00:07:13.040
In other words, when god tells you to do something, don't roll your eyes and grudgingly do it or ignore him.

00:07:14.865 --> 00:07:18.072
So how do I tithe when I owe everyone and I don't have any money?

00:07:18.072 --> 00:07:36.744
Well, we were in the same boat and it seemed like every time we tried to tithe years ago, we wound up short and and just being more broke than what we had and went without, and so we gave ten dollars a week.

00:07:36.744 --> 00:07:38.425
We could afford that.

00:07:38.425 --> 00:07:45.923
So we gave ten dollars a week for, oh well, over a year, and then by that time the lord started blessing us.

00:07:45.923 --> 00:07:52.290
You see, so many times we want to put ten dollars in and then sit there and wait for a hundred dollars to show up.

00:07:52.290 --> 00:07:54.434
It doesn't quite work that way.

00:07:54.434 --> 00:08:06.026
I guess it can and I guess on occasion, maybe to somebody it does, but for the most part, tithing and giving and reaping, and sowing and reaping is a lifestyle.

00:08:06.026 --> 00:08:13.084
It's not a one-time deal and you're not under the law.

00:08:13.084 --> 00:08:13.732
You're not under the curse.

00:08:13.812 --> 00:08:21.860
Jesus became the curse for us, but God sent his son to bear our sins and we have been born again by an incorruptible seed.

00:08:21.860 --> 00:08:36.658
1 Peter, 1.23 says you have been regenerated or born again, not from a mortal death or origin seed sperm, but from one that is immortal by the ever-living and lasting word of God.

00:08:36.658 --> 00:08:41.485
It is the spirit, the holy spirit, who gives life.

00:08:41.485 --> 00:08:43.488
He is the life giver.

00:08:43.488 --> 00:08:49.235
Through the body or through your words, you speak and your lifestyle is one way.

00:08:49.235 --> 00:08:57.543
Don't have a cavalier spirit when you are trying to get your needs met and draw closer to god.

00:08:57.543 --> 00:09:02.346
The flesh, the senses, conveys no benefit whatever.

00:09:02.346 --> 00:09:04.368
There is no profit.

00:09:04.368 --> 00:09:10.630
In other words, the words or truth that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life.

00:09:10.630 --> 00:09:14.753
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

00:09:14.753 --> 00:09:18.394
3, 13.

00:09:19.075 --> 00:09:29.628
Christ purchased our freedom, or redeeming us, so to speak, from the curse, the doom of the law and its condemnation, by himself becoming a curse for us.

00:09:29.628 --> 00:09:37.734
For it is written in the scriptures cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree or is crucified, deuteronomy 21, 23.

00:09:37.734 --> 00:09:40.142
Oh, that's just my cross to bear.

00:09:40.142 --> 00:09:41.008
I got to bear this.

00:09:41.008 --> 00:09:43.441
God's's gonna get some glory out of this sickness.

00:09:43.441 --> 00:09:44.683
God's gonna do this.

00:09:44.683 --> 00:09:46.005
God said no.

00:09:46.005 --> 00:09:49.433
You are contrary to the word of god and it's not gonna work.

00:09:49.433 --> 00:09:54.385
God doesn't get glory out of seeing you suffer.

00:09:54.385 --> 00:09:57.871
God gets glory out of seeing you be blessed.

00:09:57.871 --> 00:10:01.645
You're his child, you're his apple of his eye.

00:10:01.645 --> 00:10:05.682
You're right up there with everybody else abraham, isaac, james.

00:10:05.682 --> 00:10:06.865
You're right up there with jesus.

00:10:06.865 --> 00:10:09.899
God doesn't love jesus more than he loves you.

00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:13.426
If he did, jesus wouldn't have gone to the cross.

00:10:13.426 --> 00:10:16.730
Stop and think about it.

00:10:16.730 --> 00:10:18.813
But he did.

00:10:18.813 --> 00:10:28.927
He went to the cross and he became shame and received judgment and he took over everything and conquered the devil and kicked him out.

00:10:28.947 --> 00:10:33.090
42, 43, 44, and 45.

00:10:33.090 --> 00:10:34.390
Isaiah 42, 5.

00:10:34.390 --> 00:10:54.307
Thus says the God, the Lord, he that created the heavens and stretched them out, he that spread forth the earth and that which comes out of it.

00:10:54.307 --> 00:10:56.292
What is coming out?

00:10:56.292 --> 00:10:58.726
It is with you being born again.

00:10:58.726 --> 00:11:03.981
Your new man is speaking out the seed from the body of Christ that you have planted.

00:11:05.126 --> 00:11:21.466
God is going to honor his word, and the silly things we say and do and worship produce a harvest of nothing and we, through ignorance and unbelief, frantically run around begging God to do something that goes against his word oh, just come down and touch me.

00:11:21.466 --> 00:11:26.129
Oh, if you could receive just a little touch from you.

00:11:26.129 --> 00:11:30.369
Friend, the Holy Spirit lives inside you.

00:11:30.369 --> 00:11:35.845
That's the reason why Jesus went back to heaven and you have a body.

00:11:35.845 --> 00:11:37.346
You have authority on this earth.

00:11:37.346 --> 00:11:40.347
A ghost does not have authority on this earth.

00:11:40.347 --> 00:11:57.312
The Holy Spirit has authority through us, but he is limited to how well we receive.

00:11:57.312 --> 00:12:01.916
Him, gives breath unto the people upon it and the spirit to them that walk therein.

00:12:01.916 --> 00:12:07.147
How do you think this earth keeps all the resources and everything it has?

00:12:07.147 --> 00:12:09.572
It keeps them by the words.

00:12:09.572 --> 00:12:15.910
God spoke the words and everything makes after its own kind and it produced and harvest and stuff.

00:12:16.633 --> 00:12:22.186
What's going to happen if the world winds up going around confessing we're running out of everything?

00:12:22.186 --> 00:12:27.293
There's going to be a shortage, not because of God, because of us.

00:12:27.293 --> 00:12:32.043
God is blessing, he is a blessing.

00:12:32.043 --> 00:12:35.630
God honors me with blessings that I cannot contain.

00:12:35.630 --> 00:12:48.125
It's up to me to get an attitude of gratefulness and repentance and servitude and receive those blessings into my life.

00:12:48.147 --> 00:12:56.666
Friend, you can quote god's word forever and ever and see no results, because your lifestyle is contrary to the word of god or god's word.

00:12:56.666 --> 00:13:09.783
Does jesus say you're sick, I broke, I'm so poor I can't even pay attention, or I'm so far in debt that I am expecting the bank to foreclose any day.

00:13:09.783 --> 00:13:16.134
Then you find yourself getting mad at God because your ignorance and unbelief in God's word is nullifying the items you are praying for.

00:13:16.134 --> 00:13:22.760
Meanwhile, you continue to insist and refuse to be taught by the holy spirit.

00:13:22.760 --> 00:13:29.464
Friend, if you call yourself a christian and are born again, it is your tongue, keeping you out of the blessings of god.

00:13:29.464 --> 00:13:57.426
Start right now to repent, speaking and planting god's word in your heart, your earth, and let god grow a harvest of blessings in your some kind of biblical experiment or an exercise in futility.

00:13:57.426 --> 00:14:06.179
Learn how to get god's word to fight for you and to tell the devil it is written be gone.

00:14:07.424 --> 00:14:22.778
I'm not trying to be hard on you or unkind or mean, but it's time we, as christians, started reading the bible and quit being ignorant of God's devices, because the devil is eating our lunch and, as somebody else would say, popping the bag.

00:14:22.778 --> 00:14:25.410
Let's put a stop to it.

00:14:25.410 --> 00:14:28.874
I rebuke the devil in Jesus' name.

00:14:28.874 --> 00:14:32.033
Jesus is my light and my salvation.

00:14:32.033 --> 00:14:38.149
I am blessed that whatever I set my hands to do, I, everything I set my hand to do prospers.

00:14:38.149 --> 00:14:39.576
I'm more than a conqueror.

00:14:39.576 --> 00:14:41.988
Through Jesus Christ, I can do all things.

00:14:41.988 --> 00:14:43.716
Through Jesus Christ, who gives me strength.

00:14:43.716 --> 00:14:45.667
I have more than enough.

00:14:45.667 --> 00:14:49.745
Jesus Christ, my God, meets all my needs according to his riches and glory.

00:14:49.745 --> 00:14:52.716
By Christ Jesus, it's pretty rich in heaven.

00:14:52.716 --> 00:14:56.552
To be truthful, I live and walk in divine health and prosperity.

00:14:56.552 --> 00:14:58.769
I'm more than a conqueror.

00:14:58.769 --> 00:15:01.599
I can run through a troop and leap over a wall.

00:15:01.599 --> 00:15:14.427
I defeat the devil with a piece, like a piece of cake, because I use the words that god gives me to use, just like we just finished doing my usual sign off.

00:15:15.528 --> 00:15:19.051
I love you, I pray for you and all over the world.

00:15:19.051 --> 00:15:41.597
These podcasts and video podcasts go all over the world.

00:15:41.597 --> 00:15:44.590
Hopefully they're a help to you.

00:15:44.590 --> 00:15:45.807
They're a help to me.

00:15:45.807 --> 00:15:46.951
I enjoy doing them.

00:15:46.951 --> 00:15:50.246
I love you, god.

00:15:50.246 --> 00:15:51.947
May the Lord bless you and keep you.

00:15:51.947 --> 00:15:55.355
May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you.

00:15:55.355 --> 00:15:56.475
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and be gracious unto you.

00:15:56.475 --> 00:15:59.096
May the lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.

00:15:59.096 --> 00:16:01.239
You have a blessed day.

00:16:01.239 --> 00:16:03.921
In jesus name, amen.
