Hello, friend Chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:27.277 --> 00:00:30.487
This will be how Big Is God.
00:00:30.487 --> 00:00:38.313
It's S4E40, season 4, episode 40.
00:00:38.313 --> 00:00:42.630
And it will air on 9-30-24.
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:46.329
Did I fail to mention that this is a podcast?
00:00:46.329 --> 00:00:49.526
We're going to have a good time today.
00:00:49.526 --> 00:00:57.454
This is pretty good and I want you to stay tuned to the end because I'm making some changes and I've got some very special announcements coming out.
00:00:57.454 --> 00:00:59.466
So let's get going.
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.345
How big is God?
00:01:01.345 --> 00:01:05.528
So God created man in his own image.
00:01:05.528 --> 00:01:07.343
In the image of God.
00:01:07.343 --> 00:01:10.704
He created them, male and female.
00:01:10.704 --> 00:01:11.808
He created them.
00:01:11.808 --> 00:01:19.147
God blessed them and said to them Be fruitful and increase in number, fill the earth and subdue it.
00:01:19.147 --> 00:01:23.490
That's Genesis 1, 27 through 28.
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:32.971
Your foundation scriptures which I forgot to mention because I got excited is Genesis 1, 1 through Genesis 2, 3.
00:01:32.971 --> 00:01:46.388
You've got to remember God created Adam and put him in the garden, put him in a garden and he prepared the garden for Adam and Adam was to take care of the garden and God's creation.
00:01:46.388 --> 00:01:52.811
Excuse me, adam did not know he was naked.
00:01:52.811 --> 00:01:55.427
He was clothed in the glory of God.
00:01:55.427 --> 00:02:01.605
Every need was met, every desire, everything was fine, everything was perfect.
00:02:01.605 --> 00:02:12.129
In the cool of the day, he walked and talked with god and got everything going and then, of course, we know the serpent came along.
00:02:12.169 --> 00:02:17.603
But before I get that way and go down that road, who created god?
00:02:17.603 --> 00:02:20.866
Stop and think that about a minute.
00:02:20.866 --> 00:02:31.086
If If God was created, then by definition and understanding, there would have to be a higher power than God to create him.
00:02:31.086 --> 00:02:37.701
But if God has always been God, then we enter into a stalemate that is unanswerable.
00:02:37.701 --> 00:02:48.312
So we just have to accept the fact by faith that god was, god is and will always be god.
00:02:48.312 --> 00:03:01.168
We accept by faith that the god is love and in doing so also agree that, in order to be loved, god, if god is not love, it cannot be eternal.
00:03:01.168 --> 00:03:14.085
Only love is rules and reigns and is unconquerable.
00:03:14.085 --> 00:03:24.870
All your other gods confucius, buddha and a few others that I don't have to mention, uh, are not eternal.
00:03:24.870 --> 00:03:26.073
They cannot be eternal.
00:03:26.073 --> 00:03:28.183
They come and go.
00:03:28.183 --> 00:03:31.312
We know where they're buried, we know where they are, we know where they'll be.
00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:36.610
God is in heaven and he's eternal.
00:03:36.610 --> 00:03:42.122
He is a spirit, and so if we want to relate to God, we've got to do it on his level.
00:03:42.122 --> 00:04:02.377
If we want to relate to God, we've got to do it on his level, which was the reason that he brought Jesus Christ into the world as himself, reconciling the world through Christ unto himself.
00:04:02.377 --> 00:04:04.140
I'll get you a verse and scripture here, maybe in a minute.
00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:07.081
But he was reconciling.
00:04:07.081 --> 00:04:08.203
Hang on a minute.
00:04:08.242 --> 00:04:10.144
Let me just pause this and go look this up.
00:04:10.144 --> 00:04:17.548
Okay, I looked it up 2 Corinthians 5, starting in verse 17.
00:04:17.548 --> 00:04:22.209
And I'm reading amplified because it makes it a little easier to understand.
00:04:22.209 --> 00:04:32.675
Therefore, if any person is engrafted in Christ the Messiah, he is a new creation, a new creature Altogether.
00:04:32.675 --> 00:04:37.517
The old, previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away.
00:04:37.517 --> 00:04:41.742
Behold, the fresh and new has come.
00:04:41.742 --> 00:05:07.834
But all things are from God who, through Jesus Christ, reconciled us to himself, received us into favor, brought us into harmony with himself and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with him.
00:05:07.834 --> 00:05:31.151
It was God personally present in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with himself, not counting up and holding against men their trespasses, but canceling them and committing to us the message of reconciliation, of the restoration to favor.
00:05:31.151 --> 00:05:41.855
So you can see that God, the Father, is a spirit using Jesus Christ to reconcile the world unto himself.
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.209
We are on balance books when it comes to God.
00:05:46.209 --> 00:05:47.732
I got to watch.
00:05:47.732 --> 00:05:49.843
I don't get sidetracked here, I get excited.
00:05:49.843 --> 00:05:52.608
So let me see where we are at.
00:05:52.608 --> 00:06:02.420
Whether we like it or not, a God of love is the only kind of a spiritual being that can never be defeated, changed or altered.
00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:05.166
God is love and love is God.
00:06:05.166 --> 00:06:11.509
If there was ever anything in God besides love, then God would cease to exist.
00:06:11.509 --> 00:06:16.541
Love is the only being that can meet the requirements of eternity.
00:06:18.305 --> 00:06:25.531
From the above discussion that I just went through, we can proceed to the next attribute of God, which is creation of our universe.
00:06:25.531 --> 00:06:31.954
In the beginning starts a seven-day record of forming the world by faith.
00:06:31.954 --> 00:06:35.180
Get ready, get ready, folks.
00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:37.641
This is just gonna just get to you.
00:06:37.641 --> 00:07:00.526
By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen the trees, the ground, the grass, the cattle, the fish, everything you can see was not made Hang on a minute Lost.
00:07:00.526 --> 00:07:08.648
My place was not made out of what was visible.
00:07:08.648 --> 00:07:11.601
God created it by faith.
00:07:11.601 --> 00:07:15.204
Faith is the substance of things hoped for.
00:07:15.204 --> 00:07:17.300
He hoped for a world.
00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:19.041
He had a vision of a world.
00:07:19.041 --> 00:07:27.987
He had a vision of a man in his heart and he hoped that he brought that hope to pass by speaking words of faith.
00:07:27.987 --> 00:07:29.971
He brought that hope to pass.
00:07:29.971 --> 00:07:31.553
By speaking words of faith.
00:07:31.553 --> 00:07:34.757
The word has enough power in itself to do what it says it will do.
00:07:34.757 --> 00:07:35.619
Jesus says.
00:07:35.619 --> 00:07:38.843
They said you know, if you can, you can make me whole.
00:07:38.843 --> 00:07:51.495
And he said I can, I will Be thou made whole, be fruitful and multiply by faith.
00:07:51.495 --> 00:07:54.752
We understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
00:07:54.752 --> 00:07:56.117
That's Hebrews 11.3.
00:07:56.117 --> 00:07:58.264
Starting with light B.
00:07:58.264 --> 00:08:05.461
Starting with light B, god set into motion the creation of our universe.
00:08:06.504 --> 00:08:10.706
Our Milky Way galaxy contains over 30 billion suns.
00:08:10.706 --> 00:08:18.214
A lot of these suns are larger than our sun, which is one and a half million times larger than the Earth.
00:08:18.214 --> 00:08:22.279
The Milky Way galaxy is shaped like a thin watch.
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:27.466
Its diameter from rim to rim is 200,000 light years.
00:08:27.466 --> 00:09:02.085
One light year is equal to the distance that light travels at the rate of 186,000 miles per second In the first 24 hours, starting18 million and 80,000, or approximately 6 trillion miles.
00:09:02.085 --> 00:09:07.886
Did I also mention that the universe is still expanding at this rate?
00:09:07.886 --> 00:09:13.086
So the first day, we've got a lot of catching up to do if we're going to see where it started.
00:09:13.086 --> 00:09:21.269
There are at least 100,000 galaxies in the Milky Way, some of them millions of light years apart.
00:09:21.269 --> 00:09:31.034
All of this may only be a tiny speck in what is beyond the infinite reach of our space, only be a tiny speck in what is beyond the infinite reach of our space.
00:09:31.034 --> 00:09:33.605
My source is Halley's Bible Handbook 2000.
00:09:34.630 --> 00:09:38.926
So God created this planet, stars, galaxies, universes.
00:09:38.926 --> 00:09:40.196
Why?
00:09:40.196 --> 00:09:54.975
Because God is love, and love, by its definition, requires reciprocity, exchanges.
00:09:54.975 --> 00:09:56.437
We love God, god loves us, god loved us.
00:09:56.437 --> 00:09:56.697
We love God.
00:09:56.697 --> 00:10:01.225
Reciprocity Sorry, folks, that's just tough.
00:10:01.225 --> 00:10:11.907
In other words, man, he is in the image and likeness of God and he is a spirit.
00:10:11.907 --> 00:10:13.681
God is a spirit.
00:10:13.681 --> 00:10:18.139
I do not look like God, thank goodness.
00:10:18.139 --> 00:10:20.582
Thank goodness you don't look like God either.
00:10:20.582 --> 00:10:26.202
Don't throw it all on me, but we're made in the image and likeness of God.
00:10:26.202 --> 00:10:27.065
What's that image?
00:10:27.065 --> 00:10:28.279
It's a spiritual image.
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:35.559
So God wanted to come to earth and reconcile man unto himself.
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:55.961
But if he came as a spirit, nobody would recognize him or could talk to him through your five senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling see, hear, taste, smell and speech.
00:10:55.961 --> 00:11:03.918
I forget, hang on a minute, okay.
00:11:03.918 --> 00:11:12.047
Five physical senses touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell.
00:11:12.047 --> 00:11:21.722
You know, you think, sitting here recording this, that I could look that up or not, or quote that from just whatever's obvious.
00:11:21.722 --> 00:11:27.759
Well, you would think, but I guess that we'd be wrong if we did, okay.
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:33.708
So god wanted to reconcile the earth and he made earth for man.
00:11:33.708 --> 00:11:34.649
Why did he do it?
00:11:34.649 --> 00:11:38.725
He wanted fellowship in somebody in his same class.
00:11:38.725 --> 00:11:55.528
When somebody comes down from Alaska and they come down into the United States, they don't want a fellowship with a dog, they want a fellowship with another man or another woman, or their wife, so to speak.
00:11:55.528 --> 00:12:01.966
So God created this planet, the stars, the galaxies, the universes.
00:12:01.966 --> 00:12:04.097
Why?
00:12:04.097 --> 00:12:05.142
Because of love.
00:12:05.142 --> 00:12:12.148
He wanted to expand himself, not out of pride or boastfulness or anything.
00:12:12.148 --> 00:12:13.090
Out of love.
00:12:13.090 --> 00:12:15.455
We are a love creation.
00:12:15.455 --> 00:12:18.741
This world and planet is a love creation.
00:12:18.741 --> 00:12:23.958
You hard to tell, hard to tell that right now with the way people are acting and behaving.
00:12:23.958 --> 00:12:26.244
But that's not god's fault.
00:12:26.244 --> 00:12:27.628
He created us out of love.
00:12:29.876 --> 00:12:31.581
Adam he was deceived.
00:12:31.581 --> 00:12:34.706
Ate the fruit, turned and gave it to Adam.
00:12:34.706 --> 00:12:37.115
He was standing right there, he ate the fruit.
00:12:37.115 --> 00:12:40.643
And when they did, they lost that covering.
00:12:40.643 --> 00:12:42.846
They died.
00:12:42.846 --> 00:12:49.403
Now, they didn't die physically, they started dying physically, but they did not die physically.
00:12:49.403 --> 00:12:51.446
Totality, they wouldn't be there.
00:12:52.025 --> 00:12:54.850
Spiritual death does not mean you cease to exist.
00:12:54.850 --> 00:12:58.905
Spiritual death means that you are separated from God.
00:12:58.905 --> 00:13:02.364
It's God that puts that spirit man in you.
00:13:02.364 --> 00:13:09.923
When you sin and disobey him, as Adam did, and give it to the devil, he legally gave everything he had to the devil.
00:13:09.923 --> 00:13:14.225
If you look at Psalm 8, it's what his man did.
00:13:14.225 --> 00:13:15.760
You're mindful of him.
00:13:15.760 --> 00:13:23.047
And God the Father said that man was put in to rule this creation.
00:13:23.047 --> 00:13:28.703
Okay, now let's think a little bit.
00:13:28.703 --> 00:13:31.658
Look at what we.
00:13:31.658 --> 00:13:36.687
Sorry about that, I got tongue tied.
00:13:40.037 --> 00:13:46.160
So Jesus Christ came to earth through a virgin named Mary, and he entered this world as a man.
00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:55.028
He laid aside his kingly characteristics, his glory, laid it aside and came to earth.
00:13:55.028 --> 00:14:09.980
The reason he came to earth was to redeem mankind back from the devil, so that we would have fellowship in God's class with God the Father, one on one again, just like before the fall.
00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:12.398
And the reason?
00:14:12.398 --> 00:14:13.380
He came in a body.
00:14:13.380 --> 00:14:17.804
If he came in a spirit, we couldn't see him, we couldn't hear him.
00:14:17.804 --> 00:14:21.163
God would talk and we thought it thundered.
00:14:21.163 --> 00:14:27.846
God would have to make special provision and he could make himself heard to us.
00:14:27.846 --> 00:14:34.128
But at the same time we were incapable of crossing that bridge, crossing that gulf.
00:14:34.128 --> 00:14:45.870
So God sent his son, jesus Christ to be our redeemer, to redeem us, go to the cross for us.
00:14:46.596 --> 00:15:00.278
It is written in God's word that you were crucified with Christ, that you died and buried with Christ and also that you rose with Christ.
00:15:00.278 --> 00:15:03.365
Jesus did not need to do any of that.
00:15:03.365 --> 00:15:07.258
He did not need to be forgiven of sins or anything else.
00:15:07.258 --> 00:15:14.429
He who knew no sin was made to be sin so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
00:15:14.429 --> 00:15:17.344
You're not an old sinner saved by grace.
00:15:17.344 --> 00:15:19.301
You were an old sinner.
00:15:19.301 --> 00:15:25.028
You got saved by grace and you were made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
00:15:26.076 --> 00:15:32.629
Now I got to admit in the flesh world, in the sense world, we don't act very righteous.
00:15:32.629 --> 00:15:43.008
But in the spirit world, the more you study and goes in, that spirit goes into our spirit and even down to purging our consciences of sin.
00:15:43.008 --> 00:15:45.817
I'm getting ahead of myself.
00:15:45.817 --> 00:16:10.216
So Jesus Christ came into this world, redeemed man and put him back to his estate or his standing before God in Christ Jesus, where man can stand before God as if he had never sinned and stands in complete honesty and we get to fellowship with God.
00:16:10.216 --> 00:16:12.758
We get to do the things Jesus did.
00:16:12.758 --> 00:16:18.601
We get to live and act like little messiahs.
00:16:18.601 --> 00:16:32.380
We're not sovereign, don't get me wrong, but we are born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible seed by the word of God.
00:16:32.380 --> 00:16:38.883
We'll pick this up a little later again and I'll take us a little deeper yet.
00:16:38.883 --> 00:16:44.982
You have a blessed day in Jesus' name, amen.
00:16:44.982 --> 00:16:45.894
I hope you're enjoying our podcast.
00:16:45.894 --> 00:16:48.817
Amen, I hope you're enjoying our podcast.
00:16:49.597 --> 00:17:05.962
We also write an article for the newspaper and I've been publishing articles and teaching tapes to India, pakistan, bangladesh, south Africa, slovakia and other parts of the world.
00:17:05.962 --> 00:17:08.096
The podcasts go out every Monday morning.
00:17:08.096 --> 00:17:22.323
I make little PowerPoint presentations for those people because they have to speak to an interpreter or I have to give them just a little bit of the word and then their pastor will interpret them and teach them and everything.
00:17:22.323 --> 00:17:28.799
You can't send money to buy Bibles for them because of so many scams and stuff going on.
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:50.165
So the best way to do it is like with a powerpoint presentation or a podcast to where the pastor can interpret, and I have done a few whatsapp meetings where I teach a little bit and the pastor translates.
00:17:50.165 --> 00:17:58.517
The trouble with that is lining up everybody for the time, because when it's daytime here, it's nighttime there and there's a lot going on.
00:17:58.517 --> 00:18:06.142
And then in some countries I won't say which ones they have a lot of violence and stuff going on and they're persecuted.
00:18:06.142 --> 00:18:13.281
The pictures and stuff I get, the faces are covered so you can't identify them because of persecution and things like that.
00:18:14.551 --> 00:18:17.464
We really could use your support, but I never ask for money.
00:18:17.464 --> 00:18:18.971
