Hello friend Chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:27.917 --> 00:00:32.749
This podcast will be 7 Steps to Building a Strong Spirit.
00:00:32.749 --> 00:00:34.173
It's part 1.
00:00:34.173 --> 00:00:44.399
It is S4E35 on the number and it will air August 26, 2024.
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.840
And it will air August 26, 2024.
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:53.164
Your foundation scripture is 2 Timothy 3, verses 1-17.
00:00:53.164 --> 00:01:04.239
No matter where you live in this world, troubles are increasing fast and every day brings new problems and situations.
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.581
We are surrounded by pressure from circumstances both directly and indirectly.
00:01:07.581 --> 00:01:19.313
However, jesus said we are supposed to overcome, be overcomers, joyful preaching, teaching, healing, living debt-free and having all of our needs met.
00:01:19.313 --> 00:01:21.174
You say man.
00:01:21.174 --> 00:01:22.115
That's great, terry.
00:01:22.115 --> 00:01:24.504
How Well.
00:01:24.524 --> 00:01:35.447
Proverbs 18, 14 says the strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up a bear?
00:01:35.447 --> 00:01:37.112
That's the Amplified.
00:01:37.112 --> 00:01:40.688
A strong spirit can get you through anything.
00:01:40.688 --> 00:01:47.641
Keith Moore said that through anything.
00:01:47.641 --> 00:01:53.010
Keith Moore said that your first and most important step in getting or building a strong spirit is to read God's word.
00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:55.033
Get God's word in your heart.
00:01:55.033 --> 00:01:56.881
Get God's word inside you.
00:01:56.881 --> 00:02:01.590
Find out who you are in Christ, in him, in whom.
00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:04.495
Find out what God thinks about you.
00:02:04.495 --> 00:02:08.443
In him, in whom, find out what God thinks about you.
00:02:08.443 --> 00:02:09.546
Did you know you're loved with an everlasting love?
00:02:09.546 --> 00:02:11.733
Did you know that you're more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ?
00:02:11.733 --> 00:02:14.864
Did you know you've been made the head and not the tail?
00:02:14.864 --> 00:02:18.693
Did you know that you can lend and not borrow?
00:02:18.693 --> 00:02:23.931
Did you know that you can live and walk in divine health and prosperity?
00:02:23.931 --> 00:02:27.409
Did you know that everything you set your hand to do prospers?
00:02:27.409 --> 00:02:31.885
Well, chaplain Terry, that sounds great, but how, how?
00:02:31.885 --> 00:02:36.330
Well, let's look at the first primary step that you need to do.
00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:47.554
Satan had just finished tempting Jesus in the garden, not in the garden in the wilderness, and he said Jesus said the garden, not in the garden in the wilderness.
00:02:47.554 --> 00:03:02.150
And he said Jesus said to Satan it has been written man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, or man's words, in other words, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
00:03:02.150 --> 00:03:08.105
Matthew 4.4, amplified, and Deuteronomy 8.3.
00:03:08.105 --> 00:03:25.706
The bread that the Israelites got in the desert, in the desert of sin, the wilderness of sin, was a bread that they ate, but it was also the bread of the words of God, the Father and Jesus that sustained them 40 years.
00:03:25.706 --> 00:03:29.925
Their feet didn't swell, their shoes didn't wear out and their clothes didn't wear out.
00:03:29.925 --> 00:03:35.383
Well, it can be the same for us the words.
00:03:35.383 --> 00:03:45.025
The words that we speak speak the words of God, because that's what's going to determine your life, your lifestyle and your rating in life.
00:03:48.670 --> 00:03:52.537
I suggest you read a minimum of a chapter a day, or better yet.
00:03:52.537 --> 00:03:56.784
I recommend that you read or eat God's Word all day long.
00:03:56.784 --> 00:04:02.318
That would mean that you need to start a daily reading program where you can read the entire Bible.
00:04:02.318 --> 00:04:04.842
I'm saying Genesis to Revelation.
00:04:04.842 --> 00:04:11.199
In one year, plan your day around the Bible reading instead of trying to make room for the Bible.
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.606
The Bible reading instead of trying to make room for the Bible.
00:04:15.606 --> 00:04:23.812
If you will send me an email, I will send you several websites that you can listen to or follow to help you out with this.
00:04:23.833 --> 00:04:24.392
Be not deceived.
00:04:24.392 --> 00:04:25.574
God is not mocked.
00:04:25.574 --> 00:04:29.475
For whatsoever man sows, that shall he also reap.
00:04:29.475 --> 00:04:41.564
For he that sows to his flesh in other words, you're hearing, you're seeing, you're tasting, you're touching and smelling will reap corruption.
00:04:41.564 --> 00:04:44.466
In other words, if you sow to the flesh, you're going to reap corruption.
00:04:44.466 --> 00:04:59.139
That's because the flesh is corrupt, but if you sow to the Spirit the Spirit of God is not corrupt You'll reap everlasting life Galatians 6, 7, and 8.
00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:03.737
That's where you'll find that.
00:05:03.737 --> 00:05:06.742
So be not dismayed or be not troubled.
00:05:06.742 --> 00:05:08.271
God's not mocked.
00:05:08.271 --> 00:05:10.199
Whatever you sow, you're going to reap.
00:05:10.790 --> 00:05:13.939
We have a way of saying whatever goes around comes around.
00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:21.197
Be an attitude of a giver, be an attitude of a forgiver, be an attitude of an encourager.
00:05:21.197 --> 00:05:26.641
The next thing that I would do is I'd turn off the distractions.
00:05:26.641 --> 00:05:34.137
Turn off the television, the news, the sports, the social media and anything that distracts you from walking with Jesus.
00:05:34.137 --> 00:05:36.081
Clean up your mouth.
00:05:36.081 --> 00:05:43.884
Profanity is bad, but spouting God's word incorrectly or speaking errors for him is just as bad.
00:05:43.884 --> 00:05:47.158
Let God's word fight your battles for you.
00:05:47.158 --> 00:05:50.699
You were given the earth to control and oversee.
00:05:50.699 --> 00:05:56.283
That ought to keep you busy doing what God wants done instead of what you want done.
00:05:56.283 --> 00:05:57.975
It's okay to have hobbies.
00:05:57.975 --> 00:05:59.336
It's okay to have fun.
00:05:59.336 --> 00:06:00.975
It's okay to do things.
00:06:01.129 --> 00:06:07.240
God gets pleasure out of giving you gifts, but you know he's not going to give you anything, as all you ever do is take.
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:15.194
There's two things you can't do you can't out-give God and God can't out-give a taker.
00:06:15.194 --> 00:06:17.536
I mean, it just doesn't work that way.
00:06:17.536 --> 00:06:21.682
You'll reap what you sow, whatever you sow.
00:06:21.682 --> 00:06:23.584
If you sow kindness, you'll reap kindness.
00:06:23.584 --> 00:06:25.985
If you sow wisdom, you'll reap wisdom.
00:06:25.985 --> 00:06:28.591
If you sow hard labor.
00:06:28.591 --> 00:06:30.098
It says in all labor there is profit.
00:06:30.098 --> 00:06:37.218
If you'll sow your labor and plant it as a seed, your labor will pay you back and you'll make a profit.
00:06:37.218 --> 00:06:43.274
Turn off and take authority over anything that interrupts your fellowship with Jesus.
00:06:43.274 --> 00:06:45.699
Is this first step that important?
00:06:45.699 --> 00:06:47.043
Yes, it is.
00:06:47.043 --> 00:06:53.523
Otherwise, the devil is going to continue to keep you broke, sick and defeated.
00:06:53.523 --> 00:06:58.300
Don't complain that you don't have this or you don't have that.
00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:00.939
Well, I can't do this or I can't do that.
00:07:00.939 --> 00:07:04.478
God's trying to teach me something.
00:07:04.810 --> 00:07:06.274
Oh for crying out loud folks.
00:07:06.274 --> 00:07:14.791
God doesn't need to teach you anything, but you need to learn from God and he'll teach you what things are good.
00:07:14.791 --> 00:07:16.295
He won't teach you bad things.
00:07:16.295 --> 00:07:19.250
He's not going to make you sick trying to teach you something.
00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:22.858
You're not going to have to carry this sickness around.
00:07:22.858 --> 00:07:34.324
Nowhere did he ever say you're going to have to hold on to that sickness, son, till you get another revelation of me, and then you'll really go well.
00:07:34.363 --> 00:07:36.632
I've just got Paul's thorn in the flesh.
00:07:36.632 --> 00:07:46.242
Really, paul's thorn in the flesh was the worry and care and concern of the churches, and the Bible says that his grace was sufficient.
00:07:46.242 --> 00:07:49.290
His grace was sufficient to handle that.
00:07:49.290 --> 00:07:50.776
What did Paul do?
00:07:50.776 --> 00:07:57.877
He rolled the care of the situation of the churches over on to Jesus and that took care of that.
00:07:57.877 --> 00:08:00.083
Did Paul have to do that several times?
00:08:00.083 --> 00:08:00.723
Sure, he did.
00:08:00.723 --> 00:08:02.673
It's always in his mind.
00:08:02.673 --> 00:08:19.464
I have thoughts and images from my time in Vietnam that I'd like to get rid of, and I can to a point, but then the devil brings them back up again, usually when I'm tired or give out or exasperated with something or somebody's done me wrong.
00:08:19.464 --> 00:08:22.069
Then I get all upset and everything else.
00:08:24.290 --> 00:08:27.291
This podcast is coming up on three years old.
00:08:27.291 --> 00:08:49.109
We have gone from just a few listeners to it to podcasting now over in Pakistan, india, bangladesh, south Africa, not to mention Europe, asia, north and Central North America, africa, china, oceania.
00:08:49.109 --> 00:08:57.227
Just it's unreal how many thousand people we reach, and I give the glory to Jesus Christ.
00:08:57.227 --> 00:09:02.086
He's the one that got me the idea to doing it and I enjoy it so much.
00:09:02.086 --> 00:09:09.490
What I'm saying is, if you would like to give to this podcast not to me, I don't use any of the money.
00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:24.688
We're buying Bibles for people over in Pakistan and I have found a dealer or a Bible store over in Pakistan and they've given away over 100,000 Bibles, so they have a pretty good track record.
00:09:24.688 --> 00:09:36.211
I send them money, they buy the Bibles and then if the church or group meets their specifications, they have to have it be a denomination, they have to be an organized church.
00:09:36.211 --> 00:09:42.067
They don't go into homes or anybody because there's so many scams and stuff going around.
00:09:42.067 --> 00:09:49.533
But if you'd like to give into this ministry for that, we'd really appreciate it and we really would thank you for it.
00:09:49.533 --> 00:09:52.365
But anyway, it's totally up to you.
00:09:52.466 --> 00:10:01.768
We don't ask for money, we don't beg for money, we don't advertise for money, and I have a donate page and that's about it, and the rest of the stuff is going to stay off.
00:10:01.768 --> 00:10:08.553
If this doesn't work, it won't be because God didn't fund it or did fund it.
00:10:08.553 --> 00:10:13.272
It will be working because we did it by faith.
00:10:13.272 --> 00:10:20.049
We love these people, we love you and we want to see you succeed and be on top of things.
00:10:20.049 --> 00:10:23.649
Well, I've rammed it on good enough, long enough.
00:10:23.649 --> 00:10:30.110
You have a blessed day In Jesus' name, amen.
00:10:40.087 --> 00:10:44.471
