THE MAN AND HIS MINISTRY.

Jeremiah’s ministry was well over forty years, during the reign of Judah’s last five Kings.

Chapter 1: 1-3.

During his ministry, things were rushing toward the final catastrophe of Judah. He witnessed the destruction of the people he loved so dearly to their utter ruin.

Jeremiah was the prophet of doom at Judah’s midnight hour. He was tender and sensitive, yet possessed the strength to endure the happenings of his time.

It has been said of him. “I know of no man who revealed a truer heart-likeness to Jesus Himself, than that of Jeremiah.”

He bore a deep concern for his fellow countrymen. His guileless motive, his humility, his willingness for self-sacrifice and his utter faithfulness even to the denunciation of sin.

He was disappointed and wept many tears of grief and sorrow over Israel. He was cruelly disregarded, misunderstood, misrepresented and harshly persecuted.

Those of you who are in ministry today should take heart that God Himself understands your pain and persecution and He will come through for you.

Please don’t give up! Remain faithful. I have some first-hand experience. It was during a church split when my husband suddenly died. I know some of the grief and pain that Jeremiah must have suffered. The best healing remedy was… “FORGIVENESS” for myself and others to be able to move forward into a new future and hope. Read Jeremiah 29:11.

Jeremiah’s heart was full of grief and pain, but as the Apostle, Paul…

“HE FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT,” and FINISHED THE BATTLE. (Kept the faith)

He possessed a love and sympathy which he lived and preached in his messages.

We cannot study the book apart from studying the man himself. The man and the message were one! God specially chose him for the times in which he lived.

See Chapter 1:5-continuing.

“BEFORE I FORMED YOU I KNEW YOU AND BEFORE YOU WERE BORN. I SET YOU APART AND ORDAINED YOU AS A PROPHET TO THE NATIONS.”

So Jeremiah was specially fitted for his noble task.

First, let us look at his…

SUFFERING SOUL. His emotional battle was tearing at his heart, for sympathy for God and an inner grieving for his people, which made him suffer with them.

He identified with Jesus, “In all his afflictions He was AFFLICTED.” Jeremiah not only felt for God, but he spoke for God. He did not merely speak for the people, he felt with them.

Jeremiah spends his Nobel love and his pleadings in vain upon a rebellious People.

He suffered from, mockery, and plots against his own life and was embarrassed by the shameful and humiliating punishments, that they inflicted upon him. He is gradually forced to identify with God’s judgement- not at all out of revenge, but out of justice and kindness.

See Jer 11:19,20.

And Jer 23:18-24.

PATIENT PERSEVERANCE.

Only out of love and goodness did this man persevere. Other prophets seemed to have produced some kind of reform. He was like a voice crying in the wilderness. But through the forty years, Jeremiah did not see any grateful response. What an amazing, persevering man of God!

He stood alone as God’s spokesman. Unheeded, humiliated, yet bravely persistent!

Only love can keep us persevering amongst the stubborn and rebellious!

“LOVE NEVER STOPS LOVING. LOVE IS GENTLE AND KIND. LOVE REFUSES TO BE JEALOUS. LOVE BELIEVES ALL THINGS. Especially for others. “LOVE NEVER TAKES FAILURE AS DEFEAT, FOR IT NEVER GIVES UP!”

Remember the persevering LOVE OF GOD is working through this lovely, lonely man. He has become so Sympathetically “One” with God and “With” his message, he becomes the MESSAGE!

My message for you in this day and this hour is… You may feel that you are unproductive, or too old, weak, sick and no one cares about what you decide to do.

DO not! leave, your calling. As your ministry in your church or whatever He has called you to do is not over!

IT WILL TAKE ROOT AND GROW AND SPREAD!

This next verse is of great comfort. BECAUSE GOD IS IN IT. AND HE LOVES YOU DEARLY!

1 Corinthians 15:58. “Be you steadfast and immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord. For inasmuch you know that your labour is not in vain (wasted) in the Lord.

The Lord is preoccupied with faithful, righteous servants. He wants to bless and encourage  you with supernatural power and authority… to do His will,

FOR HIS HONOUR AND GLORY.

AMEN.

Bless you, for your prayer support and financial assistance.  God will truly bless you with blessings from Heaven above and earth beneath.

A SUMMARY OF THE BOOK OF ISAIAH.

Isaiah, the prophet, speaks out against the corrupt leaders and for those who were disadvantaged by those who ruled over them.

He makes a distinction between the Holiness of God and the obedience to the laws of the old covenant and the results that they brought.

Not only for the Jews but also for us, he brings warnings and great hope if we are obedient to Him through God’s true messenger who came and is yet to come once more.

Jesus is the True Hope of Israel.  

Immanuel God with us. He will establish God’s Kingdom on this earth.

Isaiah’s prophesies are fulfilled in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.

It is almost impossible to study each chapter of this voluminous book. So let’s focus on the first chapter and see what God wants us to know in our day and time so we do not fall away and become rebellious against His Righteousness, Goodness and Holiness.

God wants us to know that He is a personal God. He has a personal Soul as well as a personal Body and Spirit so He is capable of feelings, emotions, desires and soul passions as well.

He becomes weary of trouble as we do. He is disgusted and grieved at His children who were once innocent but now their hands are stained with blood.

Can you imagine how He as a Father felt, how disgusted and exhausted by their rebellious behaviour? He was the Perfect Father!

Can you remember the first time you held your firstborn in your arms?

Inside that beautiful bundle of blankets,

was the innocent face of a child who will fulfil all your hopes and dreams.

Did you hold great aspirations for who he may become, maybe the next President? Or a Billionaire … Someone who will leave a positive mark on this world?

Let us fast-forward to our moment in time. Years have come and gone. Months became years and years brought trouble and rebellion.

The child has been influenced and corrupted and no longer lives a wholesome life. He has been tainted by the instructions that are no longer passed from his generation … but by the heathen who have taught him rebellion, disobedience, idolatry, murder, plunder and cruelty.

Just as it is today. God has become disgusted, and weary because those once holy hands that were held up in praise, prayer and adoration are now stained with blood.

These sins of Judah and Jerusalem are mentioned in this book.

1. Leaning over with iniquity.

2. A generation of evil-doers

3. Having corrupt children.

4. Forsaking Father God.

5. Provoking God unto anger. These corrupt children are contented in their backslidden state.

THE RESULTS OF SIN. Their bodies are full of putrified sores from head to foot. These were incurable… Fatal!

The surrounding country was completely desolate.

The cities were burned with fire. We can view these scenes on our TV screens. Yes, it is so relevant  today.

WHAT CAN A SINNER DO TO REDEEM HIMSELF?

GOD DID SOMETHING!

IT IS NOT TOO LATE. Those people had the Cross of Christ to look forward to with all it would accomplish.

We can look back to the cross and claim redemption, healing and deliverance. With all Jesus had accomplished.

TIME IS SHORT.

JESUS IS COMING FOR HIS OWN.

You need to repent and rid yourself of sinful habits.

Change your hypocrisy.

Pray pure heartfelt prayers.

Offer yourself as a living sacrifice.

Be baptized and wash away corrupt behaviour.

Let us all come back to the cross, repent and live an outstanding Christian life.

Be a doer of God’s Word and not a hearer only.

God will restore all that satan has stolen.

Amen.

JESUS FORTOLD.

HIS BIRTH.

ISAIAH 9:6. “For unto us a child is born.  Unto us, a son is given. And the government shall be upon His shoulder.

And His name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God,  Everlasting Father. Prince of peace.  And of the government, there will be no end.”

Let’s marvel together at the incarnation of the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a marvellous study of prophecy concerning our Saviour-Messiah that develops through the Old Testament.

Away back in Genesis, we see God promising. That the “seed” of the woman should “bruise” the head of the serpent. Genesis 3:15.

Later God says to Abraham Gen 8:9.

“ln your seed shall “all Nations” of the earth shall be blessed.

“Gen 22:18.

Next, we find Jacob foretelling that the. “Sceptre” shall not depart from Judah until Shiloh comes.”

Again, later, God makes a pledge to David. “I will set up your seed after you, and I will establish the THRONE OF HIS KINGDOM FOREVER.”

Still later the Prophet Micah declares … “Out of you Bethlehem of Judah. HE shall come forth to be “Ruler” in Israel. Whose goings forth have from been of old from Everlasting.” Micah 5:2.

Then to this, Isaiah adds…

“Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and call His name IMMANUEL,” (GOD WITH US) Isa 7:14.

So it was revealed to Adam of which “RACE” He would come.

Then to Abraham of which”NATION.”

Then to Jacob of which”FAMILY.”

Then to Micah which “PLACE” He would be born.

THEN IT HAPPENED!

“UNTO ‘US’ A CHILD IS BORN. UNTO ‘US’ A SON IS GIVEN.” That the Eternal Son was born, was necessary for Him to be the Kingsman Redeemer. He had to become truly human. God in the flesh.

The Government shall be upon His shoulder. This will happen soon. It will be a real physical Throne and a very, literal KINGDOM on this earth.

JESUS SHALL REIGN IN HIS FULL TITLE AS… WONDERFUL COUNSELLOR; MIGHTY GOD; EVERLASTING FATHER; PRINCE OF PEACE.

We now look forward to His coming World dominion.

There will be peace at last for us and especially for you! There will be an empire ruled with Justice and Judgement as Jesus takes His rightful place on His Eternal Throne.

KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS!! HALLELUJAH!

The baby of Bethlehem is cradled…

A KING!

HOW MARVELLOUS!

Amen.

THE RUBY LADY.

Here they are … Mrs,

FAR ABOVE RUBIES.

“THE GOOD WIFE!”                                      When I was married, now thirty-five years ago! I used to avoid this passage because I thought I could never measure up to the ideal woman described in Proverbs 31.

Today as look back now realise that the husband in Proverbs was showing joy and respect for the “wife and mother of his children he had chosen.”

Proverbs as a book has high praise for a good wife.

See chapter 14:1

“A successful match receives the favour of the Lord… Because the match is God’s choice, His gift.

Are you panicking?   “Oh No! I’ve married  the wrong man!”

No, not necessarily. It is never too late. The Apostle Paul encourages you that your godly behaviour can lead your husband over to Christ, or vice versa, the husband to his wife.               

Read, 1 Corinthians chapter 7:10-16.

Though Mrs Far-Above-Rubies was an exceptional wife. We are told not to copy her, but to copy CHRIST! 

You are placed in the marriage to love your husband ‘to’ the LORD.  

God will give you His Supernatural Love for him if you ask for it.

It may also mean that You may need to forgive your partner before God’s love begins to flow in and through your heart. Maybe you need to repent for your faults and failures. 

“IS ANYTHING TO  HARD FOR THE LORD ?”

She IS VALUABLE.

“Her price is far above rubies.” She is worth more than all this world could offer!

SHE IS PRAISEWORTHY “Her children rise and call her blessed.”

HER PRE-EMINENCE.. “You excel them all.”

HER SECRET…”A Woman that fears the Lord.” So we can see this Lady is a Nice person, Praiseworthy, Prudent (avoiding rashness) and Upright…

Read verses 13-25 in this 30th chapter.

A GOOD WIFE is good to her husband and keeps his confidence. 

She aids his Prosperity. Read verses 12-24.

SHE IS A GOOD MOTHER.

She clothes her family wisely. They never go hungry because she shops sensibly. And will choose to travel, to purchase nutritious food.

Read verses. 21, 15, 27, v.14 and 18.

SHE IS A GOOD NEIGHBOUR.

She helps the poor and uplifts the needy. Her words are gracious. She loves people. She is not cutting, critical or cursing. She has a kind word for everyone.

Read verse 20 and verse 26. You can be this woman if you are wholly surrendered to the Spirit of God that He may live His Life in and through you.

Bless you, as you do!!                                        

Email me if God puts it on your heart to support this ministry financially.

Ask the Lord to transform you into

A RUBY LADY.

It is important for you to read the relevant Scriptures to acquire an accurate portrait of our sweet lady.

Now let’s read it again!

Blessings… Heather Dalzell.

MUTUAL POSSESSION.

Mutual possession is expressed in Chapter 2:16.

What a joy it must be! ”

“MY BELOVED IS MINE AND I AM HIS.”

JESUS is bound to us and we to Him. “With cords that cannot be broken.”

CORDS (crushed by grief.)

You are bound to Him by His promises of an eternal Covenant.

The Divine Cord of LOVE.

The Cord of REDEMPTION.

And if we choose to be bound by them they will… LAST FOREVER!

THE STORY…

BLESSED BE HIS DEAR NAME.

SOLOMON is depicted as the lover himself. The king, accompanied by a courtly retinue (attendants), visited the Royal Vineyards on Mount Lebanon and came upon the beautiful Shulamite woman by surprise.

Very much afraid, she ran from them!

So Solomon disguised himself as as a Shepherd and visited her and so won her love.

He then came back in all his Royal state and invited her to leave Lebanon and become his Queen.

They are in the ceremony of marriage when the poem opens. Before we continue let us note the Bride’s safety.

She is the Dove in the cleft of the rock.

She is safe from the storms of life.

The rock is immovable… That Rock is Jesus.

Yes, He is “The Rock!” The Rock of Ages… sheltering you and me. See how much the bride is loved and admired by her husband.

The rock of Ages is the one we turn to in our time of need. He is enduring, unchanging and steadfast.

You must notice by now, that both Father God and Jesus is also GOD, both are THE ROCK OF AGES!

So let us trust the Lord, commit yourself to Him

Lean on Him and hope confidently in Him forever;

For the Lord God is the everlasting Rock of Ages.

Solomon said to her, “Let me see your beautiful face. Let me hear your wonderful voice.”

“Your voice is sweet and your face is comely.”

(pleasant to see).

Ladies, How do you react when your husband admires you or some physical part of your body?

Do you accept his compliments or throw them back into his face?

Ah !! Naw.. l’m too fat!! etc..

In this story the Bride gladly receives his admiration and is so enamoured by him, she is very quick to return his compliments.

MEN, Don’t give up ! She needs to be complemented and is worth complementing!

WOMEN, It is best if you refrain from saying a single negative word when replying.

Many of us as women suffer with a low,  (very low self-esteem

Say nothing! Except smile, and give thanks. 

As men or women, we need to know that we are Precious in their sight.

If only we could see it!

Just be pleasantly pleased. And sweetly say…

“Thankyou!”

Humbly accept any form of praise.

Jesus bought you with His own Precious Blood. Hear Him speaking. He never views us with a critical eye.

“I LOVE YOU AS MY BELOVED… I GAVE MYSELF FOR YOU THAT I MIGHT PRESENT YOU TO MYSELF, A GLORIOUS CHURCH WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE OR ANY SIMILAR THING.”

(OR ANY FAULT AT ALL) HOLY, WITHOUT BLEMISH.” Ephesians 5:25-27.

Oh, what a DAY OF REJOICING THAT WILL BE!

When we feast together as His Bride. At the MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB!!

CAN’T WAIT!

AMEN.

WHERE IS JESUS IN THE BOOK OF PROVERBS?

The whole Bible points to Jesus.

“Jesus, on the pages of my Bible. Jesus, He brings to my heart revival. Jesus my Wonderful Lord.”

His presence is sometimes referred to as the Red Thread.

The red thread is any passage, verse, or story, especially in the Old Testament that gives a hint of Jesus.

Finding Him in the Prophetic books is easier as there are direct prophesies concerning Him.

See Isaiah chapter 9:6,3.

“FOR UNTO US, A CHILD IS BORN. UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN, AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER.”

HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED.

WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.”

“How could people think that Jesus is not God?

“Great is the mystery of godliness: GOD manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory?”

1:Timothy 3:16.

In the Narrative books of the Bible and the historical books, we notice a red thread and see glimpses of Jesus.

For example, the Passover lamb in Exodus chapter 12. Where the blood of the lamb is painted over the doorway to safeguard the inhabitants from death. The lamb died in the place of the firstborn. Jesus took your place by shedding His blood and dying for you, so you can have eternal life.

WHAT ABOUT THIS BOOK OF PROVERBS, IS JESUS HERE?

When we visit a Museum we don’t go there to have a coffee and cake, have a quick look and exit. We go there to ponder each piece of art. So, this is what we will do with some of the verses in Proverbs to remind us of Jesus.

PROVERBS 18:24. “There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.” Even though this verse speaks of human relationships, we can choose carefully our wise friends. Jesus said, “I call you friends.”

He referred to his disciples as his friends.

In the book of Hebrews chapter 13:5

To comment: Heather Dalzell SMS 6104 17 545 814

He as a close friend will never leave you or forsake you. “So we can boldly say, and I shall not fear what man can do unto me.”

“He is the one who sticks closer than a brother.”

“Because He is the same yesterday, and today and forever.”

Hebrews 13: 5, 6, 8.

He promises in Matthew 28:20.

“I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS EVEN UNTO THE END OF THIS AGE.” (🌎)

“HE IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN SILVER.” Proverbs 8: 10,11.

A lovely song circled the Christian scene back in the ’70s.

“Lord, You Are more precious than Silver.

Lord, You are more costly than gold.

Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds.

And nothing I desire compares with You.”

Proverbs 8:10,11. Lady Wisdom is spoken of as having birth, a beginning.

Jesus the Son had had no beginning. He is eternal, God in the flesh. So wisdom and Jesus are not the same person.

However, Jesus is the ultimate embodiment of wisdom. Not the Lady wisdom we spoke of previously. Jesus as God in the flesh. His earthly life was marked by wisdom.

To read more studies:

In Colossians 2:3. We read “That in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

Jesus lived out and fulfilled the book of Proverbs. Because He Is Wisdom, He also provides wisdom to His people. He promised the disciples following the resurrection they would receive His wisdom.

“For I will give you words, and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.”

Luke 21:15.

This was fulfilled by both Peter and Stephen.

Today for us as Christians the book of James suggests that if we lack wisdom, all we need to do is to ask God for much-needed wisdom and He will generously give it to us. James 1:5.

How does He pour out His Wisdom?

By giving us the book of Proverbs to read!

Hey… Let’s Read it!

Let’s Live it!

Amen.

WISDOM.

“TRUE WISDOM IS THE FEAR OF THE LORD.”

After we enjoyed reading some of the wonderful Psalms. We now turn to the Book of Proverbs which is full of Divine Wisdom. We may put it, that the general message in this book is…

“PRUDENCE (discretion) THROUGH PRECEPT.”

The English word “Proverb” means a brief saying, instead of many words. However, the Hebrew word, (mishle) has a wider meaning and is used in many sentences and discourses. It is a”TRUTH” expressed strikingly.

A proverb does not argue: it assumes It expresses a truth so we can understand that truth and commit it to memory, then live it!

I suggest that you read a chapter of this book each day of the month, as there are thirty-one chapters. If you do this for the rest of your days on this earth. You will become a wiser person and make fewer mistakes. You will prosper in all you do and have success.

THE AUTHOR.

Solomon is the author of this book as it states this as a fact in chapter 10:1. and chapter 25 and says,

“These are the Proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah copied out.”

In the book of Kings, we are astounded by the fact that he spoke 3,000 of them.

(My what a wonderful memory.)

Proverbs is a book of practical wisdom.

1. chapter 1-9. Wisdom is the subject.

2. Chapters 10-24. Prudence is the subject.

3. Chapters 25-31. More Prudence.

Most Proverbs are contrasting sayings. He speaks a truth and presents a contrasting truth. Here is one…

“A MERRY HEART DOES GOOD, LIKE A MEDICINE: BUT… GRIEF DRIES UP THE BONES.”

Doctors agree that grief can be one of the major causes of arthritis and a compromised Immune system.

The Lord keeps reminding me to live a life of… JOY!

Paul writes: “REJOICE IN THE LORD AlWAYS AND AGAIN I SAY… REJOICE.”

This is a personal choice! We do not rejoice in our ever-changing feelings or circumstances, but only in God who never changes.

Some Proverbs are complete in their statements, for example, The first line agrees with the second.

“COMMIT YOUR WORKS TO THE LORD AND YOUR THOUGHTS WILL BE ESTABLISHED.”

When you read the chapters, they are not meant to be read as a narrative. They are meant to be read lingeringly! Slow down, ponder and pray over the proverb that speaks to you. Think about its meaning and how you can apply it to your life. Just “muse” upon them and “memorise” those that speak to you personally.

Let’s look at Proverbs 3:5,6.

“TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING”

We are not to think things apart from God, but to cooperate with Him.”

“IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATHS.”

The writer is reminding us that trying to live life without God is Unproductive.

“PUT GOD FIRST IN EVERYTHING DO AND HE WILL CROWN YOUR EFFORTS WITH SUCCESS.”

So take your time, read the Word of God and allow it to become real in your life…to the point of change!

Bless you!

Amen.

Thank you and may the Lord richly Bless you.

LOVING THE WORD OF GOD.

This Psalm is a psalm of praise and thanksgiving for the ‘Word of the Lord’                                  The Law, which is the Torah consists of statutes, laws, precepts, ordinances, regulations testimonies and commandments.      

Every verse has a meaning that goes deep into the soul, changing our lives and giving us a deep hunger to love and obey God through His Word. 

The Psalmist craves to honour God by taking heed to every warning,  instruction, and promise found therein. 

It is not enough to speed-read your Bible and then claim that you read it from cover to cover every year, without allowing its words to cleanse and purify your life. You can read the Bible… theologically, devotionally, as history, scientifically, or as a dramatic story; or maybe you read it to claim its promises. However you choose to read it, it will speak to you.

“THE WORD IS  LIVING, POWERFUL, ACTIVE, SHARPER THAN ANY TWO SWORD CUTTING BETWEEN JOINTS AND MARROW. IT EXPOSES OUR INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND DESIRES.”

“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes. So we are accountable before Him.”

Hebrews 4:12,13.

We need to allow time for the Holy Spirit to bring conviction deep into our souls so we can meditate (contemplate) what He is saying to us. God wants each of us to be upright in our hearts.  

Get your eyes off other people’s lives. Allow the Living Word of God to judge you. Not many people agree on doctrine or interpretation of the Scriptures. Wars have been fought over them! 

This particular Psalm 119, expresses the writer’s appreciation for the goodness, mercy, severity, faithfulness, righteousness and character of God and in so doing stands in awe of the Word of God.  

Psalm 119:161. “MY HEART TREMBLES AT YOUR WORD.”

There are benefits to reading God’s Word. according to Psalm 119.  

1. Cleanses our way. 

2. Keeps us from sinning against God. 

3. Revives us. 

4. Strengthens us. 

5. Showers God’s mercy on us. 

6. Brings salvation to us. 

7. Causes us to hope. 

8. Gives life. 

Do you want to live a happy fulfilled life? 

Do you feel lonely and unsatisfied?  

Do you want to draw closer and become more intimate with the Lord? 

If your answer is, “Yes!” Then l suggest that you start reading the Bible.

If you are a new Christian, start with the Gospel of John. Please read it carefully and prayerfully.

Make it personal by inserting your name in appropriate places.  

Mark any verse that God enlightens you in your meditation.

Pray about anything that God convicts you to change. Fears, worries, doubts,  unfaithfulness, unbelief or plain rebellion. 

Read it several times, I promise you will find something new every time.

Commit to memory verses that speak to you, put them on your mirror or fridge until you have them in your memory for eternity. 

Now don’t be one of those Christians who won’t read their Bible, but will read books of man’s opinions about the Bible. You’re reading ‘second-hand’ information and not the pure Word of God. Allow the ‘Teacher,’ that is the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth.

Man’s opinions can lead you into deception, into legalism, into cults and into compromise and away from God. Many a poor decision is made and the consequences are dire if you do not make them according to God’s Word. 

I always read this psalm in one sitting and apply it to my life. Try it!   Pray this request in

Psalm 119:18. 

As you read this wonderful Psalm decide to be obedient to the commandments, and statutes, not because you have to, but rather because you love Him and want to. 

“HOW SHALL A (YOUNG, OLD OR MIDDLE-AGED PERSON) BE CLEANSED FROM HIS WAYWARD LIFE?

BY TAKING HEED AND KEEPING WATCH ON HIMSELF ACCORDING TO GOD’S WORD.”

The writer reveals that he will draw closer to God by…

1. Yearning for God. 

2. Respecting His Words. 

3. Delighting to read the Commandments.  Allowing the Word to break his heart 💘. 

4. Then he allows it to rebuild his life into the image of God. (Christ)

Dear reader, the time is coming when the Bible will be banned as it is in some countries already. You must hide it in your heart. You see the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and He inspired men by the Holy Spirit to write down what they saw and heard. The Bible is God’s Word and is the most precious possession on this earth.

If your house caught on 🔥 fire, what would be the first thing you would grab after your family was safe?

I would grab my Bible!!!

I love God’s Word and it is my most treasured possession. More precious than Gold or Silver. My Bible is settled in Heaven, eternal and Secure! I implore you to make it the highest of priorities in your life…and I promise you,

YOU WILL NEVER BE SORRY!

Amen.

THE ALKNOWING GOD.

As we have noticed the Psalms are filled with praise and worship. This Psalm 139 is no different as it is full of reasons for why we should bring Glory and Honour to His Name.

Please take the time to prayerfully read this wonderful Psalm, and Meditate upon it. (chew over it!)

This awesome Psalm was written by David and is addressed to the ‘Shining One.’ 

He calls to mind how God your Creator is intimately acquainted with you and nothing is hidden from Him. 

He knows everything about you, yes everything!

Note that there are 44 personal pronouns in this Psalm.  “I,”  “Me,” and  “My.” David is overwhelmed by God’s infinite interest in him.

God knows his every thought, word, and action even his motivation behind what He chooses to do.

Are you surprised to know that He knew these things about you before you were conceived in your mother’s womb?

(That is why abortion is murder, as you are a living created being, the moment you were conceived.)

Imagine this! He knows your thoughts before you bring them to your mind. So He even answers the prayers you think toward Him. I have experienced this time and time again.

You see, prayer is the soul’s sincere desire unuttered or unexpressed.

That doesn’t mean that we don’t voice our prayers of course we do. The point I’m bringing to you is, that God answers some prayers before we utter them.

“BEFORE YOU CALL I WILL ANSWER.”

HE KNOWS EVERY THOUGHT.

Does that scare you?  I’ve found that, over the years of being a born-again Christian, my thoughts are shaped by what I allow to influence me.                             The World … Media, etc.  The flesh … My selfish desires, … and the Devil. Demons to whom I have opened the door of my mind.  

So I have put away the things that damage my thinking and trouble my dreams. 

You need to do the same and ask God to reveal each of them to you.  

It is possible to have ‘God’s thoughts’ because we have been given:  

The Mind of Christ.  

The Wisdom of God.

The Discernment of the Holy Spirit.  

The Pure Word of God.     

Dear Christian, it is possible to live with a pure, holy mind if we reprogram it according to the Scriptures.

“BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.

“Romans 12:1,2.

Repent of evil thinking. Such as lust, anger,  critical spirit, and bitterness, revenge and rejection. All of these and anything else that manipulates your thinking, get rid of them as soon as they pop into your mind. Or they will bear fruit in your life.  

For example, Lust can lead to pornography which often results in the actual sin of… rape, molestation and sexual deviation. Then as James warns us, it leads to death. Spiritual death in hell!

All this can come from harbouring one thought from the world, the flesh and the devil.

As Paul admonishes us. “Put away all evil thinking.”

Pray with David in this Psalm by asking God to…

“Search me oh God and know my heart ❤️. Try me and know my thoughts. And see if there be any wicked way in me,and lead me into the everlasting way.”

Yes, cleanse me from every sin and set me free! 

God knows all about you, He knows everything.

He knows what you are doing, thinking, and feeling at this very moment. And He cares! You are never alone, just call upon His Name and be saved. He records everything that you ever think, feel any He knows the intentions of your heart. He keeps a record of every intent of your heart in His books.

One day those books will be opened for the world to see and all will be revealed, both good and evil. That’s why it is imperative to give your life to Jesus.

There is one set for non-Christians. Then a book or life for Christians, and those written in the Lamb’s Book of Life are eternally saved and solely judged for rewards.

NO ONE CAN ARGUE WITH GOD. HE ALWAYS WINS!

He is watching, listening and observing your every move.

He observes in love, not in condemnation. He is so ready to forgive and sweep you up into His arms of love. Then you will be His forever and ever.

“Oh, what a wonderful Saviour.”

Everything that has happened in your life is known to Him. He knows your great hidden secrets, nothing is hidden from Him.

You may hide them under lock and key, but God writes them on your face for all to see!

How can a man cleanse his way? “By taking heed to the Word of God.” Get into the habit of reading God’s Holy Word, and learn relevant scriptures that change the way you think.

Please do what I have had to do every moment of the day, that is, surrender every thought into the captivity of Christ.

Claim His shed blood over your mind. Then follow closely the Life of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

A prayer of Salvation.

Thank you, Lord, You know all about me. You are truly God, and I give my life to You at this very moment. In the name of your Son, the Lord Jesus, please forgive my sins, failures and rebellion. Come into my life and make me your own, change me by the power of your Holy Spirit, and I now choose to follow Him always.

Amen.
