Where are we in prophecy ❓ ❔ ❓It’s time to wake up church ❕ ‼️ ❕(They rebel against truth) 😢
Matthew 15:8-9 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
2 Timothy 3:1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
👉 The Bible says that God breaks those who are proud and rebellious ~ yet He will free those from bondage and shame who want to be set free of the things of the enemy and of the worldIsaiah 65:14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
👉 Christians today (especially in America – land of the prideful, Laodicean church) no longer want to hear of their sins against God and be broken over it – They would rather others agree with them in their sin for the sake of “unity” (let’s not go with “feelings” and our opinions – What does Jesus say?)Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
😢 Some Christians these days seem to think that a little leaven is “ok” (we are told a little leaven, leavens the whole lump) and being in the world and doing as the world does and holding hands with evil is “ok” There are no grey areas with God and God and His grace is not mocked and not to be used as lasciviousness –
👉 What does God say about being broken over sin and stepping away from evils and snares of the enemy?He loves a broken spirit and a contrite heart (THIS is why David was a man after God’s own heart – David was FAR from perfect – as there is none righteous NO NOT ONE – but when David recognized sin and a going against God and his Word – he repented!!!)Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
👉 God Almighty will break those who are proud and rebellious – however those broken over sin and snares and willing to repent and let go, He will set them free from the bondage of it ~Leviticus 26:13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17
😢 To those who walk in the flesh and not the spirit, broken things are despised as worthless, but God can take what has been broken and remake it into something better, something that He can use for His glory. Only when we surrender to Christ can we be restored and transformed. Such surrender requires a brokenness on our part –
Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.Romans 6:1-14 describes how believers become dead to sin and alive to God in Christ.
👉 ❕ ‼️ ❕God is coming back for a spotless Bride ~ and He is coming back soon ❕ ‼️ ❕ ~ The church needs to wake up, get ready, lamps trimmed, filled with oil and be ready ❕ ‼️ ❕ ~ STAY SOBER AND READY ❕ ‼️ ❕😢 We are told the church will have spotted garments, love of the world and things in it more than God, a sleeping bride, lovers of self, haters of truth, haters of the narrow path, a falling away ~😢 😢 yet the some Christians are preaching a “go along to get along message” “I can be like the world, don’t tell truth or it is division” “I don’t need to be broken, I am under grace”😢 ALL of the above – NOT SCRIPTURAL
👉 The Lord Jesus was not concerned when false religious leaders were offended by the truth ~❕ ‼️ ❕ The truth hurts (cleansing salt in the wound of ego and pride, burns every time) before it can help~
1 peter 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.And, Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.)
👉 ❕ ‼️ ❕ Truth will offend wicked heretics and deceivers and cut through deception, hypocrites and hyper-sensitive (running on emotion and flesh) people.
Titus 3:10-11 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
2 Peter 2 (entire chapter speaks of this)
1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
👉 In Jeremiah 26; Jeremiah had been persecuted before by priests and prophets but now the people in general rose up because he was coming against the temple (church) and against their beloved country (sound familiar ❓ ❔ ❓– Jeremiah was speaking out against a prideful nation and a prideful people and begging them to soften their hearts and repent and turn back to God and the TRUTH)
👉 When people rebel against messages like this as they did in Jeremiah’s day we see over and over from Scripture, it shows the utter corruption of a nation and their rebellion against God and judgement is bound to come.
👉 The enemy will use sorcery and bewitchment to snare a people and have them believe they can “do as thou wilt” and nothing will happen – This again is not Scriptural ~
👉 We see much “bewitchment” and spells over God’s people which has hardened their hearts, put scales over their eyes and they reject the truth and would rather serve sin for a season (Hebrews 11:25) than walk the narrow path (Matthew 7:14) (Read entire chapter of Galatians 5 for warning and edification) – nothing has changed – there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
👉 It was the same in Jeremiah’s day ~ Jeremiah 27:9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
👉 ❕ ‼️ ❕ God has never allowed His people to walk with Him while holding hands with the enemy (He is the SAME yesterday, today and forever – your culture or opinion does not matter) ~ that is double mindedness (James 1:8)
2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.If you are listening to the enemy and his lies and partaking, you are helping to destroy your nation and it’s people ion 18:4)
👉 God is gracious and merciful and gives much space and time to repent ~ ❕ ‼️ ❕The door is about to close ~❕ ‼️ ❕many are being warned but few are listening
👉 ❕ ‼️ ❕Jesus said – Luke 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Why ❓ ❔ That is a warning… she was coming out of the city (world) before it’s destruction however –
😢 The Lord’s salvation was not enough for her to not want to cling to the world and the things of it ~ Rather than have her eyes on the Lord and the plan He had ahead for her, she chose to look back to the world and He turned her to a pillar of salt – Jesus uses this one sentence as a warning – it should grip us to our very core ❕ ‼️ ❕
👉 ❕ ‼️ ❕ Lesson – when we look to the world and the things in it (or it’s so called wisdom and knowledge –
2 Corinthians 3:18-21a ~ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men.) we fail to see Jesus. We are taken from the blessings and protection that comes from following God exclusively and left to our own defense. Our independence causes us to miss the mercy of God.
👇 ❓ ❔ ❓ 👇Have you been drifting from the truths you know ❓ ❔ ❓ Have you been denying Truth to hold onto lies and deception of the enemy ❓ ❔ ❓Have you been neglecting your obedience to God ❓ ❔ ❓ Have you been listening to the urging of the Holy Spirit or your own understanding ❓ ❔ ❓(flesh and emotions and own reasoning)
👉 ❕ ‼️ ❕ Return to your FIRST LOVE ❕ ‼️ ❕
🕊 During the final week of Jesus’ life, He was eating a meal, and “a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head” (Mark 14:3). The woman’s action of breaking the alabaster jar was symbolic of a couple of things: Jesus would soon be “broken” on the cross, and all who follow Him must be willing to be “broken” as well. But the result of such costly brokenness is beautiful SO BEAUTIFUL 🕊 💖 🙌
🕊Surrender to God and allow Him to make you whole, to give your life meaning, purpose and joy. Trust Him. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose” There is NOTHING of the enemy’s lies and this world that if you give it up and cling to the Savior instead – His blessing is SO much more richer (as it is of the spirit and not flesh) you will wonder why you did not do it sooner!!! Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 🕊

Sometimes the smallest of statements will have the greatest impact… After we finished our reading and time with The Lord this morning, I shared with Hubs what The Lord was laying on my heart for today. As we were talking about it and how what He was giving me these past few months has been woven and tied into the deep study of Jeremiah He has had me in (the similarities of the rebellion of Israel and Judah leap off the pages as though he is speaking of current day America!!) Hubs said this: (Oh Lord how I thank you for and love this man!!) “Just remember babe ~ We are in the last of the last days, time is SHORT…., WARN… don’t justify or convince – let them seek God and His Word… (study to show thyself approved)THIS 👉(Thanks G 🥰) Jeremiah didn’t go around wasting his time defending himself, he just did what he was told. 💖 🙌
God Bless EACH & EVERY one of you 🕊 💖 🙌Be 🧂& 💡 ~ Keep your garments spotless,👀 eyes on Jesus and not the storm ⛈feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel 👣 🤍 💜 ✝️🤍 💜 An answer for every man for the hope that lies within you 🤍 ✝️I pray that out of your belly flow living waters of our Savior🤍 🌊 💦 🤍 🌊I love you all 🕊 💖 🙌 Hallelujah & Maranatha!!! 🕊 💖 🙌
