This Is

“This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the Lord; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?” Jeremiah‬ ‭13:25-27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This does not sound like the god of whom the TV ministers preach! Does it?

This message God delivered to Israel, through the prophet Jeremiah, was not the sugar coated "god loves you" sermon you hear today. 

When I read His Words, I am so aware that we are right where they were, and that God today is again unhappy with "His people"; the "church"!

But are you His?

When you refuse to hear His voice; refuse to obey His Commandments; refuse to follow Him; are you really His?

Have you "forgotten"Him?

Have you "trusted in falsehood"? 

Did you mind immediately think, "oh THAT'S Old Testament", when you read of His displeasure with the people who were called by His name?

Do you not see the similarities? 

Of course not, you only see what you want to see! You only hear what you wish to hear! Your god is made in your own image! You have a different Jesus! And he is preached all around the world by big name preachers who want even bigger ministries for the "god of love!"

Yes, God loves you! He loves you so much that he won't let you stay in the sin you are in! He will do anything necessary to stop you dead in your tracks; to keep you from going to hell; to save you from your sins!

He's asking again today: "Will you still not be made clean?"

(How low will you have to get, before you turn to Me?")

Repent while there is still time?

And the time for repentance, is indeed running out! 

God thought your sin was bad enough to allow His Son to die for your sins! Shouldn't you recognize that your sin is not something God winks at?

Leonard Ravenhill's tombstone reads: "Are the things you are living for, worth Christ dying for?"

"God thinks "you are to die for!""  (Explanation of that true saying: "God loves you so much, if you were the only one on this earth, Christ would have still died, just for you!") 

Doesn't that break your heart? That the sins you hold in your heart (the unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, and fear); those sins you refuse to let go of, is what Jesus died on the cross for, and yet you refuse to give them up!?! 

He shed His precious blood for the atonement of your sin; a covering so that you could stand blameless before God, and yet you won't humble yourself, lay down your pride and repent! 

Sin is serious! 

Repentance is serious! 

God is serious!

“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:14-15‬ ‭KJV

There will be no unforgiveness or unforgiven people in heaven!

Repent or perish!

“but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke‬ ‭13:5‬b ‭KJV‬‬

Even so - MARANATHA! 

From 7/9/14

“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:6-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬
