Hello friend, captain Terry Warner here.
00:00:27.777 --> 00:00:35.560
Today's episode or podcast is Sowing Seed, your Foundation Scriptures.
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.087
Let me back up a little bit.
00:00:37.087 --> 00:00:41.749
It will be Season 4, episode 34.
00:00:41.749 --> 00:00:46.926
That's correct, s4e34.
00:00:46.926 --> 00:01:01.975
Sowing Seed, your foundation scriptures will be Luke 8, 5-15, mark 4, 24-34, and Matthew 13, verse 8.
00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:11.795
Living in a farming community, where I live, we should understand seed time and harvest is all tied together.
00:01:11.795 --> 00:01:13.605
We should understand that.
00:01:13.605 --> 00:01:17.069
I'd be willing to say most of us, a lot of us, really don't.
00:01:17.069 --> 00:01:19.001
We get the idea.
00:01:19.001 --> 00:01:24.953
We plant our seed, we water it, we pray for rain, we irrigate it or whatever, and then we get our harvest.
00:01:24.953 --> 00:01:26.361
And that's true, we do that.
00:01:26.361 --> 00:01:31.373
But there's so much more that goes on behind the scenes that we don't know about.
00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:42.724
Matthew 13 8 says still other seed fell on good soil where it produced a crop a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
00:01:42.724 --> 00:01:49.929
If the seed is the word of God, why doesn't it have 100% return?
00:01:49.929 --> 00:01:56.965
I mean, it's God's word, it's God's seed, there'd be nothing wrong with the seed, it would be perfect seed.
00:01:56.965 --> 00:02:01.790
So why doesn't it always yield 100% return?
00:02:01.790 --> 00:02:05.608
Well, one observation is the soil.
00:02:05.608 --> 00:02:09.806
Even though it is good soil, it is still under a curse.
00:02:09.806 --> 00:02:32.054
That happened when Adam gave all this over to the devil and even though Jesus bought it back and redeemed us and the earth from the curse that Adam was under put on by the devil, we still live in a world that's fallen and sinful and hateful and everything else.
00:02:34.181 --> 00:02:35.467
Excuse me just a second.
00:02:35.467 --> 00:02:37.204
Okay, I'm back.
00:02:37.204 --> 00:02:38.187
Sorry about that.
00:02:38.187 --> 00:02:39.405
Can you guess what I did?
00:02:39.405 --> 00:02:43.591
Yes, I silenced all my phones and computers and everything else.
00:02:43.591 --> 00:02:45.567
I hope I got them all turned off.
00:02:45.567 --> 00:02:47.705
If not, I apologize.
00:02:47.705 --> 00:02:49.150
Now where was I?
00:02:49.920 --> 00:03:01.967
If we sow a good seed seed that's 100% pure, in other words the Word of God if we sow that, why doesn't it always reproduce or produce 100% return?
00:03:01.967 --> 00:03:05.248
Because the ground's under a curse.
00:03:05.248 --> 00:03:08.489
Sometimes it rains on it, sometimes it doesn't.
00:03:08.489 --> 00:03:19.008
Sometimes we irrigate, we over-irrigate, sometimes we don't pay attention to when we irrigate, we just there's a lot of factors.
00:03:19.008 --> 00:03:21.168
It may be too hot, it may be too cold.
00:03:21.168 --> 00:03:25.419
We just settled in the month of August here and we turned cold.
00:03:25.419 --> 00:03:26.312
It was 57 degrees.
00:03:26.312 --> 00:03:27.163
One settled in the month of august here and we turned cold.
00:03:27.163 --> 00:03:27.655
It was 57 degrees.
00:03:27.655 --> 00:03:29.716
One morning in the month of august.
00:03:29.716 --> 00:03:31.676
Things like that mess it up.
00:03:31.717 --> 00:03:40.213
So you don't get 100 return, but you will get enough return that anything you come across in your life.
00:03:40.213 --> 00:03:53.751
If you sow the word of god into it, it's going to produce, and it's going to produce a bountiful crop, and it's going to be sufficient enough to do whatever it is you need it to do.
00:03:53.751 --> 00:03:56.228
It will feed whatever you need it to feed.
00:03:56.228 --> 00:03:57.966
It will feed your family.
00:03:57.966 --> 00:04:00.328
It will feed your income.
00:04:00.328 --> 00:04:08.681
The sowing, the seed, especially the word of God, will produce positive results every single time.
00:04:08.681 --> 00:04:16.721
If it doesn't, if it fails, something like that, it's not a problem with God, it's a problem with you.
00:04:16.721 --> 00:04:19.245
Suck it up, buttercup.
00:04:19.245 --> 00:04:32.211
In other words, there are factors that are out of our control, so we are forced to adapt, modify and perform certain tasks that will help us get the best results as possible.
00:04:33.321 --> 00:04:43.586
There are three main principles in the physical world that will also work in the spirit world, and they work whether you're doing spiritual things or whether you're doing physical things.
00:04:43.586 --> 00:04:49.252
They are diet, exercise and rest.
00:04:49.252 --> 00:04:51.425
Now wait a minute, brother Terry.
00:04:51.425 --> 00:04:52.247
Wait a minute.
00:04:52.247 --> 00:04:53.944
Hold up right there.
00:04:53.944 --> 00:04:57.288
I'm not talking about losing weight.
00:04:57.288 --> 00:04:59.839
I'm not talking about losing weight either.
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.526
I'm talking about if you have the correct diet.
00:05:02.526 --> 00:05:04.052
What is the correct diet?
00:05:04.699 --> 00:05:09.471
Putting the Word of God into your heart, eating His Word, so to speak.
00:05:09.471 --> 00:05:17.250
His words are spirit and they are life and your spirit food is the Word of God.
00:05:17.250 --> 00:05:27.295
That's what goes into your heart and when it goes into your heart it will find good soil, it will find moderate soil and it will find poor soil.
00:05:27.295 --> 00:05:32.973
And I'd be willing to say and a lot of us we got weeds and briars and thistles growing in our heart.
00:05:32.973 --> 00:05:40.988
Hate, anger, bad words, attitude, chip on your shoulder.
00:05:40.988 --> 00:05:51.589
Those are things that are going to stop or definitely hinder your production of word.
00:05:51.589 --> 00:05:55.163
Why do I want to sow God's word in my life anyway?
00:05:55.163 --> 00:05:57.702
Why don't I just ask for my prayers to be answered?
00:05:57.702 --> 00:06:03.704
Because you don't prosper physically unless you prosper spiritually.
00:06:03.704 --> 00:06:06.230
It's the spirit who gives life.
00:06:06.230 --> 00:06:10.444
It's the spirit who gives you the power to gain wealth and prosperity.
00:06:10.444 --> 00:06:17.925
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.
00:06:17.925 --> 00:06:29.237
In order for your souls to prosper, you can feed it oatmeal all day long and it's not going to produce a spiritual or a soulish product.
00:06:29.237 --> 00:06:31.701
The soul actually is enmity.
00:06:31.701 --> 00:06:38.166
It needs to be renewed every day with the word of God, the washing of the water, with the word.
00:06:39.012 --> 00:06:41.180
I'm getting sidetracked, going down a rabbit hole here.
00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:43.266
But the first thing is they are your diet.
00:06:43.266 --> 00:06:45.858
The word of God is your diet.
00:06:45.858 --> 00:06:48.083
It's what you eat, it's what you hear.
00:06:48.083 --> 00:06:51.396
The word of God is your exercise.
00:06:51.396 --> 00:06:59.870
Not only do I eat the word and believe the word and sow the word, I also have to do the word.
00:06:59.870 --> 00:07:09.326
When I do the word, then I am watering it, taking care of it and seeing to it that the word produces in my life.
00:07:09.326 --> 00:07:13.365
How much God produces in my life is up to me.
00:07:13.365 --> 00:07:21.507
The closer I can get to God, the more God I can eat, the more God I can put in on my spirit man and feed my spirit man.
00:07:21.507 --> 00:07:38.610
The more of God, the more of his word, logos, rhema the more of his word that I can put in my heart, the more dynamic, powerful, productive, successful man of God I'm going to be.
00:07:38.610 --> 00:07:43.687
And if I'm all of those things, man of the physical world is a piece of cake.
00:07:43.687 --> 00:07:55.569
I don't want the physical world anyway, because life and eternal life is the result of good word in my heart.
00:07:57.115 --> 00:07:59.081
And the third factor is rest.
00:07:59.081 --> 00:08:15.485
Once I have spoken the word, fed on the word, ate the word, put the word in my heart, meditated on the word and put it down in there I can rest and relax, knowing that whatever is meant for me will work out for my good.
00:08:15.485 --> 00:08:17.235
I am more than a conqueror.
00:08:17.235 --> 00:08:21.319
Through Jesus Christ I can do all things through Jesus Christ, who gives me strength.
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.047
In him I live and move and have my being.
00:08:24.047 --> 00:08:26.879
I am a king and a priest.
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.461
Praise the Lord.
00:08:30.504 --> 00:08:34.076
Diet is where we control what we eat or, in this case, what we hear.
00:08:34.076 --> 00:08:41.979
The word of God is our bread and water, our fundamental food group that will feed our spirit man Matthew 4.4,.
00:08:41.979 --> 00:08:49.860
Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God Proverbs 4.22,.
00:08:49.860 --> 00:08:54.855
For they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
00:08:54.855 --> 00:08:56.600
There you are good health.
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.342
If you want good health, you want to lose weight.
00:08:58.342 --> 00:09:00.587
I'll tell you how to lose weight in just a few minutes.
00:09:01.794 --> 00:09:02.759
You are what you eat.
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:13.004
How many times have we heard that your spirit man has to eat and he can't get by on one cold snack a week and nothing to eat during the week.
00:09:13.004 --> 00:09:17.283
You can't get by on a verse a day.
00:09:17.283 --> 00:09:20.721
Reading your little promise box every morning is not.
00:09:20.721 --> 00:09:36.775
Reading your little promise notes, reading your Bible, reading a chapter a day is not going to cut it, because that's just for one moment of time and you happen to live in your spirit man 24 hours a day.
00:09:36.775 --> 00:09:52.923
What's going to get you victorious is to live and move and have your being 24-7 in God, in Christ, in Jesus, in Him, in whom Find out who you are in God's eyes.
00:09:54.549 --> 00:09:57.562
Profanity coming out of your mouth comes from the heart of a man.
00:09:57.562 --> 00:10:02.474
Profane words are literally poison to all of your spirit, soul and body.
00:10:02.474 --> 00:10:08.022
By the way, words that are unbelief and doubt are poison as well.
00:10:08.022 --> 00:10:10.466
You are what you eat.
00:10:10.466 --> 00:10:13.097
Your ears are how your spirit man eats.
00:10:13.097 --> 00:10:14.614
What are you eating?
00:10:14.614 --> 00:10:23.581
Hearing News, sports, social media, in addition to hearing, another way of gorging yourself on spirit food is through your eyes.
00:10:24.509 --> 00:10:30.580
Unfortunately, I have images in my head from Vietnam that are constantly reminding me of unpleasant memories.
00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:32.355
How do I control that?
00:10:32.355 --> 00:10:40.354
When I think of those things, I immediately think of the Word of God and I just put the Word of God in front of my eyes and I just read my Word.
00:10:40.354 --> 00:10:48.418
Just read the Word and that will take those images out of there, but the devil will put them back in there.
00:10:48.418 --> 00:10:51.499
The devil also works 24-7.
00:10:51.499 --> 00:10:58.700
He's the soulish end of it, and his job is to try to destroy you and make you ashamed to be called a Christian.
00:11:00.110 --> 00:11:01.618
What am I getting at in this article?
00:11:01.618 --> 00:11:13.322
That we, as human beings, have loved darkness and have shunned the light of life so much that, for most of us, we are trapped in a downward spiral of defeatism and apathy.
00:11:13.322 --> 00:11:20.559
Boy, this country has got a spirit of apathy that needs to wake up or we're going to find ourselves really in a bad spot.
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:30.897
We're getting close to deciding whether this country is going to work and live and help the world for God or whether it's going to go down in tubes.
00:11:30.897 --> 00:11:34.639
And God's got a lot of interest in this country.
00:11:35.070 --> 00:11:39.802
This country was founded on Judeo-Christian values and beliefs and laws.
00:11:39.802 --> 00:11:55.936
We need to get back to the basics and we need to recognize we have got a demonic spirit trying to take over this country right now, in our elections, in our laws, in our border policies, in everything, trying to tear us down.
00:11:55.936 --> 00:12:16.120
Well, are we going to let it work and let it just go in and sit there and eat popcorn or eat chips and drink a beer while we watch our sports, eat chips and drink a beer while we watch our sports, or are we going to get up and start getting in shape and put the Word of God in our mouth and in our lips and start believing it in our heart and saying it out our mouth and take back our country like it's supposed to be?
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.359
We have children and grandchildren to think about.
00:12:19.359 --> 00:12:23.780
It's not going to hurt us near as much as it's going to hurt them.
00:12:23.780 --> 00:12:25.836
We don't want that, children.
00:12:27.071 --> 00:12:27.955
There's something wrong.
00:12:27.955 --> 00:12:31.197
Not only is there something wrong, it is just flat wrong.
00:12:31.197 --> 00:12:42.638
It's not something wrong, it's against the law of God, it's against the law of humanity, it's against the law of decency, it's against the law of everything to support and have abortion.
00:12:42.638 --> 00:13:00.519
I rest my case by His grace and through faith in His Son, jesus Christ.
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:01.541
I rest my case.
00:13:01.541 --> 00:13:10.626
We were born again, not of a corruptible seed, but an incorruptible seed of Jesus Christ, and he paid that debt and defeated the devil.
00:13:10.626 --> 00:13:23.100
That seed did and we get a 100%, full return when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:28.515
We are saved 100% return on God's seed that he put in us and we're born again.
00:13:28.515 --> 00:13:32.340
Now the pathway to God is through his son, jesus Christ.
00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:43.859
Ask him into your life today and then start building your spiritual body, so when he returns, which is going to be pretty soon, you will get to go to heaven and have eternal life.
00:13:43.859 --> 00:13:49.960
You have a blessed day In Jesus' name, amen.
00:13:51.951 --> 00:13:55.499

00:14:58.542 --> 00:15:01.081

I pray for you.
