NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR OUR LORD! Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD of hosts is his name: “If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the LORD, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.” —Jeremiah 31:35-36 ‘Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.  —Jeremiah 32:17 “Behold, I am…

OUR SOVEREIGN LORD! Give them this charge for their masters: ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: This is what you shall say to your masters: “It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever it seems right to me. —Jeremiah 27:4-5 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. —II Timothy 4:3-4…

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE THE FOLLOWER OF JESUS FROM THE LOVE OF GOD… NOTHING! But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. —II…

THE FAITHFUL “CHILD” You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. —II Timothy 2:1-7             Paul…

A BURNING COMPELLING TO SPEAK  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 Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed! Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, “A son is born to you,” making him very glad. Let that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning…

FIRST PRIORITY— TRUST GOD, NOT MAN! Thus says the LORD: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it…

GOD’S WORD IS FINAL AUTHORITY! And the LORD said to me: “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.” —Jeremiah 14:14             Beware of those who are lying, bringing worthless communication and speaking out of the deceit of their own minds.  They come in the Lord’s Name, but He did not send them and He is not speaking through them.  How can we tell who those deceitful liars are?  If they are not speaking the Word of God, adhering…

LIVING TO PLEASE OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! But you, O LORD, know me; you see me, and test my heart toward you. —Jeremiah 12:3 I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. — Chronicles 29:17             Who are you?  Are you the same on the outside as you are on the inside?  Do you try to portray yourself on the outside as someone you really are not on the inside?  We are all in the process of transformation, but do we seek to be real, transparent?  Do people see the real you that God sees?             Yes, our Lord knows us better than anyone…

BOAST IN THE CREATOR, NOT IN SELF Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.” —Jeremiah 9:23-24 It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens. —Jeremiah 10:12 I know, O LORD, that the…

BE LOVINGLY OBEDIENT But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’ —Jeremiah 7:23 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…
