The prophet Jeremiah was faithful in preaching, in delivering the word the LORD had given to him. It was not a popular word. The destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the temple, the captivity of the people, and it lasting for 70 years was not what they wanted to hear. They had hired prophets, …

Understanding GOD’S Anger
We first must realize that GOD is holy, righteous, and just. There is no evil in Him, neither can He do evil. He is our creator. He has made all that is, and by Him all things consist (Colossians 1:17). He holds all things together. If He did not do so the Universe would fly …
The Heart; Who Can Know It?
We will not be thinking of the pump which pumps the blood through the human body, through its many miles of arteries and veins. We are speaking of the centrality of the human being, of Adam kind. Hear the word of the LORD concerning the heart of man [generic]. "The heart is deceitful above all …
For the Faithful Man of God
“Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before Me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. And I will make thee unto this people …
Glory, Wisdom, and Might
There is much pride and arrogance in our world today. So much so that many in their pride exalt themselves over others, and especially over God Himself. We can often live as though we know what is best for our lives; better than God knows. We hear it in questions: "Why does God allow that …
Finding Rest for Your Soul
"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein." Jeremiah 6:16 (KJB) In this 21st century it seems difficult at times to find …
The Truth is the Truth
Sharing with you from 2015. To Lie and Deny “Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’S. For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, saith the LORD. They have belied …
The Attention Jesus Will Receive
It is my heart to believe that according to the writings of the prophets that the kingdoms of Judah and Israel have been one since their return from Babylonian captivity. For one I cannot think of a single time they are referred to as a divided people in the Gospels or all the New Testament. …
The Anointed One
When Jesus Christ came to earth as Man He came for the main purpose of glorifying Godhead of Glory. He was worshiping on the Sabbath day in a synagogue with fellow Hebrews when He read from the following passage of Scripture... "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me; because the LORD hath anointed …
The Power of Prayer has a “But” Attached
I have been hearing a lot of thought on the matter of prayer. Sometimes it sounds to me as though we always have power in prayer. No matter how we have violated God's word, His law, His ordinances, or His worship; and the way we live our lives; it has sounded to me as though …
The Great Servant Who Would Suffer
The following verses were written about 700 years previous to the birth of Jesus. They are prophetic Scripture which foretell the suffering of Jesus Christ. Hear them, hear the word of the LORD and believe. "Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For He shall grow up before …
The Learned, Hearing Servant
My daily reading was Isaiah 46 - 50. I pray some are following along. "The Lord GOD hath given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. The …
The Maker and God Makers
It has been said by men, that people make god in their own image. To a certain extent that is true. If we form our view of god according to what we perceive as god, or use the view that every one else holds of god then that statement is true, and we will be …
The Wait
In our minds "waiting" is a boring, and aggravating task that we sometimes do in a dentist, doctors, or lawyers office. We wait in busy traffic when we drive in cities. My reading for today was Isaiah 39 - 42 and I chose these verses to share with any who desire to read... "Hast thou …
To Trust or to Defy the Living God
My reading for today was Isaiah 36 - 38. In these chapters the Assyrians have been on a rampage through the land of Judah, destroying and pillaging; and they have come to Jerusalem which is walled and protected by good soldiers. The king of Assyria sends his messenger to the wall with a threatening message, …
