Music, music.
00:00:24.754 --> 00:00:26.917
This is Chaplain Terry Warner.
00:00:26.917 --> 00:00:33.213
I'm going to stop the music for a few moments so you can grab a pen and some paper for your foundation scriptures.
00:00:33.213 --> 00:00:44.414
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.
00:00:44.414 --> 00:00:51.052
Starting at the beginning of the podcast, I will give you the season number and the episode number.
00:00:51.052 --> 00:00:53.246
Thank you so much for listening.
00:00:53.246 --> 00:00:55.987
My podcasts come out every Monday morning.
00:00:55.987 --> 00:00:58.186
And now let's get going.
00:00:58.186 --> 00:01:06.290
Hello, friend Chaplain Terry Warner, here, the title of this message is Recalculating.
00:01:06.290 --> 00:01:15.674
It will be Season 4, episode 21, and will air on May 20, 2024.
00:01:15.674 --> 00:01:18.868
Again, the title is Recalculating.
00:01:18.868 --> 00:01:23.709
You know we have GPS's in our cars and we have the commercial.
00:01:23.709 --> 00:01:35.102
We have all probably seen about the GPS recalculating and everything because of mis-turns and misdirection and causes mayhem and sells insurance.
00:01:36.763 --> 00:01:42.730
Your foundation scripture is 2 Chronicles 7, 10 through 16.
00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:46.656
Please excuse my speech.
00:01:46.656 --> 00:01:50.430
I've had some dental work done so I'm a little hard to understand.
00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:51.725
I'll try and talk slower.
00:01:51.725 --> 00:02:01.254
2 Chronicles 7, starting in verse 10.
00:02:01.254 --> 00:02:26.647
I'm going to actually start in verse 11.
00:02:26.647 --> 00:02:30.828
In his own palace, the Lord appeared to him at night and said I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices.
00:02:30.828 --> 00:02:55.611
When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
00:02:55.611 --> 00:03:01.953
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
00:03:01.953 --> 00:03:08.430
I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my name may be there forever.
00:03:08.430 --> 00:03:12.270
My eyes and my heart will always be there.
00:03:15.563 --> 00:03:20.889
If I had to pick a date for this article, I would start in 1945, at the end of World War II.
00:03:20.889 --> 00:03:27.391
We had defeated, with the help of our allies, nazism and Japan.
00:03:27.391 --> 00:03:36.302
Now was the time to start helping and rebuild the USA back to where we were before and help other countries too.
00:03:36.302 --> 00:03:40.013
We didn't want the land, we just wanted freedom.
00:03:40.013 --> 00:03:43.829
After a short period, we immediately went into growth and blessings.
00:03:43.829 --> 00:03:45.219
After a short period, we immediately went into growth and blessings.
00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:57.527
After a short period, we missed the turn toward righteousness and godliness when we shattered, altering our families by allowing women not altering.
00:03:57.527 --> 00:04:02.445
Let me back up, sorry about that.
00:04:02.445 --> 00:04:22.110
After a short period we missed a turn toward righteousness and godliness when we started allowing our families and women to move from their roles as housewives and raising and managing the homes and accounting their income so as for families to have a better lifestyle.
00:04:22.110 --> 00:04:28.413
The next missed turn was pulling prayer and Bible out of the school system.
00:04:28.413 --> 00:04:36.312
The separation of church and state was a farce and was intended to prevent a federal government from establishing its own religion.
00:04:36.312 --> 00:04:39.187
It was never in the Constitution.
00:04:39.187 --> 00:04:43.288
It doesn't say that Recalculating.
00:04:43.288 --> 00:04:53.906
Our next missed turn was the disastrous world was the most disastrous and worst of all sins, in my opinion, abortion.
00:04:55.290 --> 00:05:00.464
Recalculating, undazed, bewildered and confused.
00:05:00.464 --> 00:05:05.375
We continued down our road of wokeness cancel culture and gender identity.
00:05:05.375 --> 00:05:06.535
We continue down our road of wokeness, cancel culture and gender identity.
00:05:06.535 --> 00:05:09.132
We quit teaching discipline.
00:05:09.132 --> 00:05:15.803
We practice freedom from morals, ethics and any kind of structure that builds on decency and capitalism.
00:05:15.803 --> 00:05:28.665
Again recalculating we love and cherish fake heroes, judge others by their bank account and their number of possessions and property they own.
00:05:30.228 --> 00:05:40.451
Recalculating we have quit teaching the children that with growing up comes responsibility, and responsibility starts with discipline and delayed gratification.
00:05:40.451 --> 00:05:52.252
We, as parents, have neglected to train our children and teach them in Christian and Judeo-Christian principles and ethics and morals.
00:05:52.252 --> 00:06:15.521
Recalculating we have given erroneous instructions, taught them in our educational institutions, implemented them in our political and government at every level, subject to minors, to unheard of practices of mutilating flesh and all kinds of just wrongdoing.
00:06:15.521 --> 00:06:17.202
That's just flat wrong.
00:06:17.202 --> 00:06:50.838
Recalculating, however, we must accept the blame and misguided behavior because we failed to vote, failed to ensure that right thinking and responsible people are in office, we have failed to hold crime and bad behavior and other maladies at bay because we were too busy living off God's blessing and ignoring the warnings of an evil and wicked behavior, especially in America true, in all countries, but especially in America.
00:06:51.625 --> 00:07:02.351
We pull God out of a box like a genie and want him to bless us and do things for us and prosper us and have us be rich and so we can live in abundance.
00:07:02.351 --> 00:07:05.333
And God, for the most part, has done that.
00:07:05.333 --> 00:07:19.194
But we have turned our nose up to him, spurning him right to his face, and I tried to get it like a santa claus religion or a christmas religion or a birthday religion.
00:07:19.194 --> 00:07:28.317
When we need presents and gifts, we get all sorrowful and mournful and beg lord to heal out of his compassions and goodness he does.
00:07:28.317 --> 00:07:32.154
But at the same time there's consequences for bad behavior.
00:07:32.154 --> 00:07:37.798
There's consequences for not following Christian principles and foundations.
00:07:37.798 --> 00:07:43.245
The church has failed to teach and expose errant actions and their consequences.
00:07:43.245 --> 00:07:45.367
The teaching exposed errant actions and their consequences.
00:07:45.367 --> 00:07:52.156
Everything was posed as freedom, pleasure, blessings and prosperity, with no consequences for living a life of sin.
00:07:53.158 --> 00:07:59.949
Now it is time for final recalculating and we find ourselves running out of time.
00:07:59.949 --> 00:08:16.430
Therefore, like it or not, if we want to see 2 Chronicles 7-10 come to pass and our land healed and this country restored back to its Judeo-Christian principles, then we have got to get back to our Judeo-Christian principles.
00:08:16.430 --> 00:08:23.548
The repentance and turnaround of this nation to be restored has got to start with the individual.
00:08:23.548 --> 00:08:35.696
As I said, like it or not, we must change our ways, repent, activate our faith in Jesus Christ to curb and destroy this wickedness of slothful activity.
00:08:35.696 --> 00:08:38.210
Stir up the gift of God in us.
00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:40.316
2 Timothy 2, 6.
00:08:40.316 --> 00:08:51.191
Start wearing our God-given armor, and not only wearing our armor, but learning to use it effectively against the devil, not against people.
00:08:51.191 --> 00:08:54.414
We don't beat the Bible over the heads of people.
00:08:54.414 --> 00:08:56.937
It's the spirit behind all this.
00:08:56.937 --> 00:08:58.264
It's the devil.
00:08:58.264 --> 00:09:01.895
The devil comes to steal, to kill and destroy.
00:09:01.895 --> 00:09:07.850
If it steals, if it kills, if it destroys, it's not God.
00:09:07.850 --> 00:09:09.730
It's just that simple.
00:09:10.784 --> 00:09:18.755
Another big turn we missed that required recalculation Is pulling Bible and prayer out of our schools.
00:09:18.755 --> 00:09:31.153
When you start messing with the children and you start down teaching the children, so to speak, not very good for educational speech, sorry.
00:09:31.153 --> 00:09:49.054
When you start tearing down the children and taking that structure down and start teaching a bunch of malarkey in our schools, it affects all kinds of problems and causes all kinds of problems down the road, not to mention the other things of fooling with school children.
00:09:49.054 --> 00:09:57.272
If you think this doesn't directly affect you, I urge you to get on your knees and ask God for forgiveness of your sins.
00:09:57.272 --> 00:10:00.134
Think about your children and grandchildren.
00:10:00.134 --> 00:10:04.485
Are we going to be known as the generation who passed the problems by inactivity?
00:10:04.485 --> 00:10:06.226
Are we going to be known as the generation who passed our problems by inactivity?
00:10:06.246 --> 00:10:14.234
We all can quote 2 Chronicles 7.14, but do we read the first part of the verse about what we need to do before God will heal our land?
00:10:14.234 --> 00:10:18.278
Friend, we have sat on the sidelines long enough.
00:10:18.278 --> 00:10:21.280
I urge you to recalculate your life.
00:10:21.280 --> 00:10:29.548
Get back in step, get back in church, get back into reading your Bible.
00:10:29.548 --> 00:10:30.910
The Word of God is your only way of escaping hell.
00:10:30.910 --> 00:10:34.356
The Word of God is the only thing that can restore.
00:10:34.356 --> 00:10:36.106
Why the Word of God?
00:10:36.106 --> 00:10:37.250
Why not the Word of Buddha?
00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:46.736
Because Jesus Christ died for our sins as a holy sacrifice, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
00:10:46.736 --> 00:10:54.115
Our other gods and other idols that we serve and worship cannot offer anything at all.
00:10:54.115 --> 00:10:56.990
There has been a name given to Jesus.
00:10:56.990 --> 00:11:03.157
At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth.
00:11:03.157 --> 00:11:10.311
Jesus Christ is Lord, lord and king, whether you like it or not, and we're running out of time.
00:11:10.311 --> 00:11:32.777
The end of the age is winding down and you can see from all of the catastrophes going on and the misbehavior from going on that we are in a world of hurt and if we don't turn around and repent, he is going to return and catch us in a most unfavorable condition and we will be sentenced to hell Sooner or later.
00:11:32.777 --> 00:11:38.235
You're going to have to stand and defend yourself for your action.
00:11:38.235 --> 00:11:45.633
If you put yourself and your faith in Jesus Christ, you will inherit eternal life.
00:11:45.633 --> 00:11:53.726
If you spurn him and turn your back, you will inherit the devil and hell you will go.
00:11:53.726 --> 00:11:57.177
When you pass away, when you die, when you go to sleep.
00:11:57.177 --> 00:12:01.711
You will go to eternal rest or eternal damnation.
00:12:01.711 --> 00:12:06.235
Give your heart to Jesus Christ today Repent.
00:12:06.235 --> 00:12:17.390
Romans 10, 9 and 10 says If thou shalt confess the Lord, jesus Christ as thy Lord and Savior, and believe that God has raised him from the dead and confess with thy mouth.
00:12:17.390 --> 00:12:21.455
Let me back that up and stop it just a second.
00:12:21.455 --> 00:12:26.816
I'm misquoting it and I'm going to straighten myself out right quick, excuse me.
00:12:26.816 --> 00:12:28.467
Okay.
00:12:28.467 --> 00:12:30.860
Romans 10, 9 and 10.
00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:49.535
That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, for it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you will confess and are saved.
00:12:49.535 --> 00:12:54.917
As the scripture says, anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.
00:12:54.917 --> 00:12:58.796
That way I got it corrected.
00:12:58.796 --> 00:13:12.256
I get excited because I get to thinking about all the benefits and the wonderfulness and the kindness and the love and the compassion that Jesus has shown for me while I was a sinner and didn't deserve any of this.
00:13:12.256 --> 00:13:16.173
Friend, we have sat on the sidelines long enough.
00:13:16.173 --> 00:13:26.859
I urge you to recalculate your life and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and get back to being active for the kingdom of God.
00:13:26.859 --> 00:13:32.537
You have a blessed day in Jesus' name, amen.
00:13:34.004 --> 00:13:35.605
This has been Chaplain Terry Warner.
00:13:35.605 --> 00:13:38.207
My podcasts come out every Monday morning.
00:13:38.207 --> 00:13:39.509
Amen sold or given out.
00:13:39.509 --> 00:14:08.712
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.
00:14:08.712 --> 00:14:17.850
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.
00:14:17.850 --> 00:14:20.932
Thank you so much for listening to my podcast.
00:14:20.932 --> 00:14:38.253
The Lord bless you and keep you.
00:14:38.253 --> 00:14:42.052
The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
00:14:42.052 --> 00:14:48.287
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace In Jesus' name, amen.
00:14:48.287 --> 00:14:50.187
Thank you.
