My podcasts come out every Monday morning.
00:00:55,856 --> 00:00:59,384
And now let's get going.
00:00:59,384 --> 00:01:16,359
Hello friend, Chaplain Terry Warner, here this will be Turn On your Light Today podcast S4, e15, season 4, episode 15, and publishes on April, the 6th 2024.
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:20,331
This has been a podcast and a half.
00:01:20,331 --> 00:01:23,689
I've had computer problems and everything else.
00:01:23,689 --> 00:01:27,939
Enough of my worries, but apologize for the glitches.
00:01:29,781 --> 00:01:33,564
Let's look at foundation scriptures 1st John 4, 16.
00:01:33,564 --> 00:01:40,489
Hebrews 4, 12 through 14.
00:01:40,489 --> 00:01:49,337
1st Corinthians 13, John 16, verses 23 and 24, Ephesians 6, verse 12.
00:01:49,337 --> 00:01:59,640
Our beloved United States is facing serious problems that threaten our very existence.
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:06,989
It is also not just a single issue or dilemma or problem that is the root cause about bringing our demise.
00:02:06,989 --> 00:02:10,236
Neither is it a people's problem or a people problem or a human being's problem.
00:02:10,236 --> 00:02:26,394
The basic, root problem is that we have left our Judeo-Christian core beliefs, and the major consequences in rejecting God's truth is that we lose the ability to be led and directed by moral and ethical solutions to our problems.
00:02:26,394 --> 00:02:32,953
A major and glaring consequence is we lose the ability to love God and love others.
00:02:32,953 --> 00:02:41,774
When that happens by default, we open the doors to invite the devil and his demons to come in and control us.
00:02:41,774 --> 00:02:44,204
So enough of the obvious.
00:02:44,204 --> 00:02:46,090
What must we do?
00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:54,123
Let's start with some Bible scriptures 1 John, 4, 15-21.
00:02:54,144 --> 00:03:04,968
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God, and so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
00:03:04,968 --> 00:03:06,573
God is love.
00:03:06,573 --> 00:03:12,111
Whoever lives in love, lives in God and God in him.
00:03:12,111 --> 00:03:22,469
In this way, love is made complete among us, so that we have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
00:03:22,469 --> 00:03:30,805
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.
00:03:30,805 --> 00:03:34,552
The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
00:03:34,552 --> 00:03:37,581
We love because he first loved us.
00:03:38,603 --> 00:03:43,307
If anyone says I love God and yet hates his brother, he is a liar.
00:03:43,307 --> 00:03:51,137
For anyone who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
00:03:51,137 --> 00:03:57,173
And he has given us this command whoever loves God must also love his brother.
00:03:57,173 --> 00:04:05,854
Everyone who believes that Jesus, the Christ, is born of God and everyone who loves the Father loves his child as well.
00:04:05,854 --> 00:04:11,508
Our next step repent of your sins and ask God for his forgiveness.
00:04:11,508 --> 00:04:13,450
1 John 1 9,.
00:04:13,450 --> 00:04:21,894
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,846
Why do you think God chose love?
00:04:24,846 --> 00:04:28,822
Why not good deeds or compassion or kindness?
00:04:28,822 --> 00:04:34,480
Let's take a look at the love and see if God will answer that question for us.
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,391
The love, chapter 1 Corinthians 13.
00:04:38,391 --> 00:04:53,355
If I have the gift of being able to speak in other languages without learning them, and could speak every language that there is in all heaven and earth, but didn't love others, I would only be making noise.
00:04:53,355 --> 00:04:59,341
If I had the gift of prophecy and knew all about the future, what good would it do?
00:04:59,341 --> 00:05:02,762
What if I had faith so that I could move mountains?
00:05:02,762 --> 00:05:14,069
It would be of no value if I gave everything I had to the poor, and even be burned alive for preaching the gospel, but didn't love others.
00:05:14,069 --> 00:05:15,932
It would be of no value.
00:05:17,233 --> 00:05:18,915
Love is very patient and kind.
00:05:18,915 --> 00:05:26,341
It is never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud or haughty, or selfish or rude.
00:05:26,341 --> 00:05:32,353
Love does not demand its own way, it is not irritable or touchy.
00:05:32,353 --> 00:05:37,408
It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong.
00:05:37,408 --> 00:05:43,298
It is never glad about injustice but rejoices when truth wins out.
00:05:43,298 --> 00:05:48,233
If you love someone, you will be loyal to them, no matter what the cost.
00:05:48,233 --> 00:05:55,992
You will always believe in them, always expect the best of them and always stand your ground when defending them.
00:05:55,992 --> 00:06:01,639
Friend, this is how God sees you and treats you and respects you.
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:10,194
Love is the catalyst, the compound, the chemical agent that produce the love that God has shed abroad in your heart.
00:06:10,194 --> 00:06:12,937
Romans, 5:5, Might.
00:06:12,937 --> 00:06:17,221
I also add that one of the attributes of love is having faith.
00:06:17,221 --> 00:06:22,536
In other words, we just described and introduced the Holy Spirit of God.
00:06:22,536 --> 00:06:26,230
Start praying for our beloved United States.
00:06:27,213 --> 00:06:28,838
2 Chronicles 7.14.
00:06:28,838 --> 00:06:36,658
If my people and I want to remind you of Revelation 5.10, on this, my people and I want to remind you Revelation 5: 10, on this, my people.
00:06:36,658 --> 00:06:44,634
Revelation 5 :10 says we are kings and priests to our god and carry the signet ring of God almighty.
00:06:44,634 --> 00:06:53,396
The kings back in the old days had signet rings that they wore or put around their neck and they would take that.
00:06:53,396 --> 00:06:56,869
Take that ring and seal it in the wax and put the king's seal on it.
00:06:56,869 --> 00:06:59,855
Your Holy Spirit has sealed you.
00:06:59,855 --> 00:07:05,351
That's the king's seal, that's the king of king and the lord of lords seals upon your life.
00:07:05,351 --> 00:07:08,725
Go in the power and mighty of kings and priests.
00:07:08,725 --> 00:07:18,208
Go in the power and might of the signet ring, authority given to you by the Holy Spirit, by Jesus Christ and by God the Father.
00:07:18,208 --> 00:07:26,093
Okay, let's back up people.
00:07:26,093 --> 00:07:38,987
We are kings and priests to our God and carry the signet ring of God, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways.
00:07:38,987 --> 00:07:43,024
Then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.
00:07:43,915 --> 00:07:45,139
Not quoted in sequence.
00:07:45,139 --> 00:07:49,603
Not quoted from memorization, quoted as out of my heart.
00:07:49,603 --> 00:07:56,041
Follow the new commandment given to us by Jesus Christ, John 13 :34.
00:07:56,041 --> 00:08:02,141
New commandment, yes, new commandment John 13 :34.
00:08:02,141 --> 00:08:05,944
That you love one another as I have loved you.
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:06,925
Why?
00:08:06,925 --> 00:08:09,442
Well, because God is love.
00:08:09,442 --> 00:08:12,826
Okay, but why is love so important?
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:22,502
Because everything that God has done, everything that he is doing and everything he is going to do will be done in perfect love.
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:25,952
Your life is no accident or coincidence.
00:08:25,952 --> 00:08:31,064
Your circumstances and conditions are no accident or coincidence.
00:08:31,064 --> 00:08:33,028
God does not deal in that.
00:08:33,028 --> 00:08:40,386
God deals in love and he has set and ordained and set forth a life for you, plans for you.
00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:49,745
All you've got to do is trust him, believe in him, have faith in him, accept him as your Lord and Savior and walk in that divine plan.
00:08:49,745 --> 00:08:55,317
That means that our world and heavens are a result and display of God's love.
00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:01,899
However, through Adam's disobedience, sin entered the world and fouled up everything, to say the least.
00:09:01,899 --> 00:09:05,855
The curse that Adam brought upon the earth when he ate the forbidden fruit.
00:09:05,855 --> 00:09:12,969
Don't you know that God, being love, told him not to eat that fruit out of love because it would kill him.
00:09:12,969 --> 00:09:18,404
And he did it out of love, not out of being selfish or holding back.
00:09:18,404 --> 00:09:23,221
And Adam still decided to not believe God and believe the devil.
00:09:23,221 --> 00:09:32,267
Actually, actually, satan convinced Adam that God was not being truthful and preventing him from reaching his full potential as a human.
00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:37,927
Don't be too hard on Adam, folks, because we still do the same thing ourselves.
00:09:39,235 --> 00:09:47,323
So God sent his one and only Son in love not in retaliation, but in love and reconciled the world unto himself.
00:09:47,323 --> 00:09:51,477
That means that by following God's example Jesus.
00:09:51,477 --> 00:09:57,741
That means that by following God's example Jesus, we can, by an act of continuous love, drive out the evil in our world.
00:09:57,741 --> 00:10:01,085
So, Chaplain, Terry, how do you do that?
00:10:01,085 --> 00:10:10,932
First, by realizing that flesh and blood are people, no matter how ugly they act, are not the problem that is causing our demise and chaos and hate.
00:10:10,932 --> 00:10:33,860
Galatians 5: 6, and 7, faith works by love.
00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:46,586
And 1st John 5:4 powers against the master spirits who are the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
00:10:47,846 --> 00:10:48,326
I call it.
00:10:48,326 --> 00:10:51,548
Pray this, pray it with me.
00:10:51,548 --> 00:11:01,173
Heavenly Father, I repent of my sins and ask you for your forgiveness according to your word in Ephesians 4.32.
00:11:01,173 --> 00:11:08,941
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
00:11:08,941 --> 00:11:17,559
I also repent and ask for your forgiveness for the sins of this nation according to 2 Chronicles 7, 14.
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:43,096
If my people, which are called by my name that's Revelation 5, 10 remember and has made unto us our God and kings and priests with signet ring authority, and we shall reign on this earth, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, that I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
00:11:43,096 --> 00:11:49,192
Last, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem according to Psalm 122.
00:11:49,192 --> 00:11:53,005
Psalm 122, 6 says pray2,.
00:11:53,005 --> 00:11:57,355
6 says Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
00:11:57,355 --> 00:11:58,275
May those who love you be secure.
00:11:58,275 --> 00:12:07,282
Also, father, I ask that I am open and responsive to read and study your Word and to do what the Word says I need to do.
00:12:07,282 --> 00:12:13,865
Thank you for showing me that evil can't stand before your Word when acted and followed in your love.
00:12:13,865 --> 00:12:23,732
Thank you for showing me and guiding me in your way so that I may be a part in this, turning this nation around and turning myself back to God.
00:12:23,732 --> 00:12:27,219
In Jesus name, amen.
00:12:27,219 --> 00:12:29,565
You have a blessed day.
00:12:29,565 --> 00:12:33,004
Amen.
00:12:52,575 --> 00:12:53,756

The Lord bless you and keep you.
00:13:05,889 --> 00:13:09,562
The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
00:13:09,562 --> 00:13:12,022
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give gracious unto you.
00:13:12,022 --> 00:13:15,654
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace In Jesus' name.
00:13:15,654 --> 00:13:17,576
Thank you.
