Stop Rowing; He’s Already Walking On Your Storm

We open the year by slowing down, returning to Jesus as the true bread that satisfies, and re-centering our work around faith, presence, and service. John 6 guides us from chasing signs to trusting the I AM who stills storms and reshapes motives.

• new year reset toward presence with Jesus
• donation plan to bless local families directly
• feeding of the five thousand and motives
• Jesus withdraws from forced promotion
• walking on water and courage over fear
• do not work for food that perishes
• belief as the core work God desires
• mind of Christ over resolution culture
• Spirit-given authority and overcoming by testimony
• podcast format shifts to ministry focus

Donate what you feel led to give; when it reaches $100 or more, we will bless a needy person or family in Jesus’ name

Hello, friend. Chaplin Terry Warner here. This will be podcast number one, ta-da, number one of 2026, uh, the season in episode one. Uh, I'm gonna go over a few things the Lord has shared with me while I've been gone for a while. Normally my podcasts come out on Monday. We'll probably get back to that in the near future. But he's just caught me at a refreshing point and relaxing point and backing off of being so busy that I didn't have time for Jesus. I wasn't busy. I was too busy doing other things, doing Christian things, doing work things, and not doing Jesus things. And the Lord not just gently reminded me of that I needed to get back in the crew with everything. I hope you're having a good start to the new year, and everything's going well for you. I have also, I don't, you know, I don't sell anything or put anything on my website that costs money. And the Lord uh inspired me or impressed me to start a donate page, and this donation page that will be whatever you want to give, uh small amounts. Then when it gets up to$100, over$100 or so, I'll find some needy family or needy person on the street and bless them in the name of Jesus and give them the$100 or whatever the Lord tells me to do with it, to give to them. Some people you don't want to give that kind of money to. Some people are really uh flourish when you let them know that God still loves them and still cares for them. Let's talk a little bit about John chapter 6. This is the feeding of the 5,000. Then after the people saw that he had done a sign, they were saying that this one is truly the prophet, the one who is coming into the world. Then, since Yeshua knew that they were attending to come and seize him, so they could make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself alone. How many times when we get ready to get promoted, we stand up to the front of the line, stick our chest out, and just beam with pride. There's nothing wrong with being proud in Christ. I'm not talking about uh bad pride or jealous pride or anything like that. I'm talking about the wearing the armor of God and the mind of Christ, so that you do the things that Christ wants you to do. Anyway, they saw they were going to make him king, so he he got away from them and got where they couldn't get a hold of him. And then he went on down here and he saw the crowd off and everything, and they fed fed everybody 5,000 men. Uh and uh let me see if I can find it here. In numbers one, three, you don't count the women. That's why the women were not counted. You counted men, I think 18 or older, uh, who were able to fight. You didn't count uh the women and the children. Anyway, so he saw the crowd, they saw the crowd off. The disciples were out rowing on the water. They were about three, three and a half miles out, and here comes Jesus walking on the water. And they were afraid. And he said to them, Get this, I am. You must stop being afraid. I think to myself, easy for you to say, I'm a professional fisherman, and if I know the boat's gonna sink due to this storm, I'm pretty have inside knowledge. But Jesus knew he wasn't gonna sink. He he was uh commander over that, and he took care of it. And then he told the crowd when they finally did catch up to him, most assuredly, I say to you, you are not seeking me because you saw a sign, but because you ate from the bread and ate your fill. Do not work for the food that perishes, but work for the food which remains into eternal life, which the Son of Man would give you. For the Father God attested this. Therefore they said to him, What could we do that we would do the works of God? Yeshua answered and said to them, This is the work of God that you would believe in whom that one sent. Then they said to him, Then what sign are you doing so that we could see and we would believe in you? What work are you doing? Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, just as it has been written. He gave bread from heaven for them to eat. Exodus sixteen, fifteen, Numbers eleven, seven through nine, Psalm seventy eight, verse twenty four. Then Yeshua said to them, Most certainly I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread from heaven, but my father is giving you the true bread from heaven. For that bread of God is that which descends from heaven and gives life to the world. That word of God, we know him as Jesus, Jeshua, the Messiah, the anointed one, the Christ. His name is called shall be called wonderful, counselor, mighty God, Prince of Peace. That's the Jesus we serve. So this year, forget the resolutions, forget the do good things, forget the things you're supposed to do. Do what the Bible says. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who thought it not robbery to be called God. We're not gods in the sense that Jesus are. We're gods with a little g if you want to know the truth. But we do have authority and power on this earth given to us by the Holy Spirit. And after Jesus' ascension, we have the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We have speaking in tongues. And there shouldn't be a Christian on this earth going around in lack, need, want, and everything else. You're always going to have poor with you, you're always going to have evil as long as the devil's here. But that's no excuse. Overcome the devil with your testimony, the word of God and your testimony and the blood of the Lamb. That's what you do. Well, I just decided I'd give you a starter for the new year. I'm changing the podcast around. I'm stopped doing podcasts on a regular basis. I've stopped writing articles on a regular basis. And I'm going to go to ministering more through the podcast and through podcasting and the donations page that I mentioned earlier. But as you always, you have a blessed day in Jesus' name. Amen.
