Hello, friend Chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:28.117 --> 00:00:31.809
The title of this podcast is Seed Time and Harvest.
00:00:31.809 --> 00:00:38.613
It's S4E53, series 4, episode 53.
00:00:38.613 --> 00:00:43.231
It will air on December 30, 2024.
00:00:43.231 --> 00:00:47.371
Let's start first with Genesis 1.26.
00:00:47.371 --> 00:00:49.466
I'm going to read it to you.
00:00:49.466 --> 00:00:54.384
Man's given authority, let me find it here.
00:00:54.384 --> 00:00:58.064
Hang on just a minute.
00:01:01.801 --> 00:01:03.067
My desk is so cluttered.
00:01:05.442 --> 00:01:10.359
Here we go, genesis 1 26.
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:24.670
Then God said let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground.
00:01:24.670 --> 00:01:26.701
So God created man in his own image, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground.
00:01:26.701 --> 00:01:28.887
So God created man in his own image.
00:01:28.887 --> 00:01:33.700
In the image of God, he created him male and female.
00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:34.742
He created them.
00:01:34.742 --> 00:01:55.328
Now I remind you of something here Genesis, genesis 8.22, says while the earth remains seed, time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter and day and night shall not cease.
00:01:55.328 --> 00:01:56.852
As simplified.
00:01:56.852 --> 00:02:03.072
Another thing I want to bring to your remembrance the sower sows the seed.
00:02:03.072 --> 00:02:12.800
Remembers.
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:13.360
The sower sows the seed.
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:13.721
Matthew 13.
00:02:13.721 --> 00:02:15.043
The word of God, god, is the sower.
00:02:15.043 --> 00:02:17.186
The seed being sown is the word of God or Jesus.
00:02:17.186 --> 00:02:18.146
We are the sower.
00:02:18.146 --> 00:02:21.031
Man's heart is the earth.
00:02:21.031 --> 00:02:30.425
The heart cannot control what is planted in in it, or the earth cannot control what is planted in it.
00:02:30.425 --> 00:02:32.873
It only can grow what is planted.
00:02:32.873 --> 00:02:55.877
When you are born again, god plants righteousness, sanctification, redemption, the mind of Christ, the blessings, the prosperity, the, the fullness, the knowledge of the Godhead, everything, all the good things are implanted into your heart.
00:02:55.877 --> 00:03:03.108
What you do with them now is your determination, because you're going to produce the crop.
00:03:03.108 --> 00:03:03.830
You're going to determine the crop.
00:03:03.830 --> 00:03:12.921
You're going to determine the crop, the harvest that comes out of your heart, in your life, in the way you live, in the way you speak, the way you talk.
00:03:12.921 --> 00:03:18.033
I want you to go back, and now let's take a trip back in time.
00:03:18.033 --> 00:03:21.701
I want to talk a little bit about noah.
00:03:21.701 --> 00:03:30.588
One of the dirtiest, most damaging lies that the devil ever told you was when he said you're not important.
00:03:30.588 --> 00:03:32.926
Don't you ever believe that?
00:03:32.926 --> 00:03:34.526
I'm not talking about Noah?
00:03:34.526 --> 00:03:36.146
I'm talking about you, the listener.
00:03:36.146 --> 00:03:38.645
You are important.
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:44.568
Every born-again member in the church of Jesus Christ has a part to play in God's plan.
00:03:44.568 --> 00:03:50.389
God has something for you to do that no one else can do just like you can.
00:03:50.389 --> 00:03:56.072
If you don't take your place and do your part, things just won't be quite right.
00:03:56.072 --> 00:04:00.323
Look at Genesis 6.
00:04:00.323 --> 00:04:07.314
There you'll see that the people on the earth had gotten so wicked that God had regretted that he had made them.
00:04:07.314 --> 00:04:11.769
He was ready to wipe the whole population out, but he didn't.
00:04:11.769 --> 00:04:12.872
Why?
00:04:12.872 --> 00:04:15.568
Because of one man Noah.
00:04:15.568 --> 00:04:23.309
One obedient man saved the human race From Adam to the flood of the earth.
00:04:23.309 --> 00:04:36.240
From Adam to the flood of the earth from Genesis 5, makes Noah born in the year 1056.
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:43.050
It took him 600 years to grow up and build the ark, making Noah 1,656 years old when the flood came.
00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:46.074
We get that out of the generations of Genesis 5.
00:04:48.834 --> 00:04:49.600
We didn't just make it up.
00:04:49.959 --> 00:05:01.906
So we see that Noah and eight souls on the ark were saved when they got out of the flood and that was over with, and they got back on dry land.
00:05:01.906 --> 00:05:04.086
What's the first thing they did?
00:05:04.086 --> 00:05:05.725
They planted seeds.
00:05:05.725 --> 00:05:10.978
Now we think grape bushes and everything else, but all that takes time.
00:05:10.978 --> 00:05:14.410
So what did they do in the meantime?
00:05:14.410 --> 00:05:17.848
Well, they're getting ready to a new life and a new world.
00:05:17.848 --> 00:05:19.591
They planted seeds.
00:05:19.591 --> 00:05:25.093
They planted seeds of trees, vegetables, everything else.
00:05:25.093 --> 00:05:28.285
The animals they brought that's all seeds.
00:05:28.285 --> 00:05:31.670
That's all the remnant kept in growing up.
00:05:42.579 --> 00:05:42.980
Now think about this.
00:05:42.980 --> 00:05:44.283
What if noah had said well, this is just too much pressure for me.
00:05:44.283 --> 00:05:48.973
I can't live upright before god in the middle of this ungodly generation.
00:05:48.973 --> 00:05:52.365
I mean, how to?
00:05:52.365 --> 00:05:55.850
There's a lot of people that got washed away in the flood.
00:05:55.850 --> 00:05:58.334
You stop and think about that.
00:05:58.334 --> 00:06:00.221
Only eight.
00:06:00.221 --> 00:06:05.413
How would you like to have a lifestyle of 600 years and only have eight converts?
00:06:05.413 --> 00:06:08.427
Talk about being discouraged.
00:06:08.427 --> 00:06:10.394
Well, noah wasn't discouraged.
00:06:10.394 --> 00:06:12.942
He just kept doing what the Lord told him to do.
00:06:12.942 --> 00:06:17.012
Friend, do not get discouraged in your walk with the Lord.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:27.887
2024 was a rough year, but you know, I said the same thing about 2023, and I said the same thing about 2022, but I made it and I made it victorious.
00:06:27.887 --> 00:06:29.732
Did I get everything I wanted?
00:06:29.732 --> 00:06:33.584
No, god forbid that I'd be that spoiled.
00:06:33.584 --> 00:06:35.608
But did I get everything I wanted?
00:06:35.608 --> 00:06:37.894
No, but I got God's will done.
00:06:37.894 --> 00:06:52.805
God wanted me to do, god wanted me to do Correct English, and God is pleased with my work and my efforts and my activity that I did for him and I did it out of love.
00:06:52.805 --> 00:06:56.389
You know, god loves Jesus.
00:06:56.389 --> 00:07:09.869
He loves me just as much as he loved Jesus, and I'll just prove it to you with logical thought If he loved Jesus more than he loved me, jesus wouldn't have died for my sins.
00:07:09.869 --> 00:07:19.891
But the fact that God loves us more than we love ourselves, god sent his son to redeem us and get us born again.
00:07:20.779 --> 00:07:25.129
When you are born again, what gets born again, what gets made anew?
00:07:25.129 --> 00:07:33.889
It's your human spirit, and your human spirit is the root cause of your actions and lifestyle.
00:07:33.889 --> 00:07:38.375
It's your heart that out of it flow the issues of life.
00:07:38.375 --> 00:07:43.612
It's your heart that says good things, that believes good things, that does good things.
00:07:43.612 --> 00:07:49.153
It's your kindness and compassion, and all of those are God characteristics and attributes.
00:07:49.153 --> 00:07:50.940
God is love.
00:07:50.940 --> 00:07:52.403
He doesn't have love.
00:07:52.403 --> 00:07:53.985
God is love.
00:07:53.985 --> 00:07:56.870
We don't have have love once you're born again.
00:07:56.870 --> 00:07:57.672
We are love.
00:07:57.672 --> 00:08:06.012
We walk in, first corinthians, love, that love is for us and is shed across, shed abroad in our hearts.
00:08:07.802 --> 00:08:15.372
He who knew no sin was made to be sin for me, that I might be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
00:08:15.372 --> 00:08:29.052
Christ Jesus was the seed, the immortal, sacred, holy seed, planted by God into the earth to bring about the church.
00:08:29.052 --> 00:08:34.145
The temple and the veil got ripped in two when Christ rose from the dead.
00:08:34.145 --> 00:08:44.131
Well, out of the sight of Christ, where he was poked with a spear, jabbed with a spear, out flowed the church of Jesus Christ.
00:08:44.131 --> 00:08:59.643
Psalm 139 says you have created me and you know my rising up and my sitting down, my rising and sleeping and everything does.
00:08:59.643 --> 00:09:02.587
Psalm 139 apply to everyone absolutely.
00:09:02.587 --> 00:09:07.342
It speaks to the universal truth that god knows every person intimately.
00:09:07.342 --> 00:09:17.437
You are fearfully and wonderfully made by god almighty, by God Almighty.
00:09:17.437 --> 00:09:20.042
Isn't it time we started straightening up our act?
00:09:20.042 --> 00:09:23.928
Before he returned, praise God.
00:09:24.009 --> 00:09:33.966
Noah didn't say that I'm just one man, and he didn't picture himself as an insignificant man whose life didn't matter Really.
00:09:33.966 --> 00:09:50.527
He saw himself as a man to whom God had spoken and by faith he obeyed God according to the book of Hebrews and because of that, he ended up being the only thing that stood between mankind and total destruction.
00:09:50.527 --> 00:10:02.965
Next time you're tempted to shred off the instructions of God and be disobedient, next time you catch yourself thinking it doesn't matter what I do, remember Noah.
00:10:02.965 --> 00:10:04.446
Consider the fact that, whether you understand it or not, remember Noah.
00:10:04.446 --> 00:10:11.390
Consider the fact that, whether you understand it or not, god is counting on you to carry out your part of his plan.
00:10:11.390 --> 00:10:30.302
Live like you're someone important in the kingdom of God and sooner or later, you will start to believe that Most of this, a lot of this devotion today that I shared with you, this podcast that I shared with you, this podcast that I shared with you, I give credit to Gloria Copeland.
00:10:32.725 --> 00:10:45.952
A lot of it's taken from her book Faith to Faith, and I don't really like to quote her as much as I did because I like to use my own words, but I thought I felt that was so good that you needed to see that.
00:10:45.952 --> 00:10:56.235
Well, friend, you have a blessed day, you have a prosperous new year and let's look forward to the podcast coming out next year.

I'm going to turn the podcast site into a teaching series, more than opinions and end times and stuff like that.
00:11:03.134 --> 00:11:10.163
It's going to be a teaching series, more than opinions and end times and stuff like that.
00:11:10.163 --> 00:11:11.591
It's going to be a teaching series.
00:11:11.591 --> 00:11:15.956
2025, I think I said the wrong year.
00:11:15.956 --> 00:11:19.956
