PRAY FOR PEACE AND PROSPERITY WHERE WE LIVE Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” —Jeremiah 29:7 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” —Jeremiah 29:11 Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale? —Jeremiah 30:6             If ever our nation needs…

VERIFY THE TRUTH SO YOU BELIEVE NOT THE LIE Listen, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie. —Jeremiah 28:15              Wow… people can be made to trust the lies of another.  In this case from THE Book of Jeremiah the people were believing the false prophesy of a proclaimed prophet— Hananiah.  He was telling people the exact opposite from what our Lord was saying through Jeremiah.  What he said was what the people wanted to hear and they believed him.  They believed the lie they were made to believe.              Fellow follower of our Lord Jesus, we need to be…

A PERSON OR NATION REAPS WHAT IS SOWN— TURN TO OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! “For twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, to this day, the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken persistently to you, but you have not listened. You have neither listened nor inclined your ears to hear, although the LORD persistently sent to you all his servants the prophets, saying, ‘Turn now, every one of you, from his evil way and evil deeds, and dwell upon the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers from of old and forever. Do not go…

BE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS! “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. —Jeremiah 23:5 For the land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land mourns, and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right.  “Both prophet and priest are ungodly; even in my house I have found their evil, declares the LORD. Therefore their way shall be to them like slippery paths in the darkness, into which they shall…

WOE IS ME IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! Now Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. Then Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate of the house of the LORD. —Jeremiah 20:1-2 If I say, “I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name,” there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot. —Jeremiah 20:9 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot…

LOVE GOD!  HOPE IN HIM AND NOT MONEY! For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. —I Timothy 6:10 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. —I Timothy 6:17-19              Money is neutral and can…

 HE KNOWS ALL! For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from me, nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes. —Jeremiah 16:17             All the ways of all people living now or who have lived or will live are known by our Lord God Almighty.  They cannot hide from Him.  All the sin of all people are seen by Him.  Yes, He knows all.  You, me or anyone else are not able to keep anything from Him.  We may be able to do that with other people, but not with Him.             So, nobody is getting away with anything… nobody.  They can make all the…

LIVE THE TRUTH, BEWARE OF LIARS But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, declares the LORD.” —Jeremiah 12:17 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.  For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy…

OH, TO GET AWAY! Oh that I had in the desert a travelers’ lodging place, that I might leave my people and go away from them! For they are all adulterers, a company of treacherous men. —Jeremiah 9:2 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!  I would fly away and be at rest.  “Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness.” —Psalm 55:6-7             Ever have the thoughts of wanting to “just get away” saying something like— “Oh, I would like to just go away on some deserted tropical Island for a while?”  Well, you are not alone.  I imagine many people have…

PRAY AND TELL! First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and…
