You keep your promises

Eze 23:1 The word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 23:2 "Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
Eze 23:3 They played the whore in Egypt; they played the whore in their youth; there their breasts were pressed and their virgin bosoms handled.
Eze 23:4 Oholah was the name of the elder and Oholibah the name of her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
Eze 23:5 "Oholah played the whore while she was mine, and she lusted after her lovers the Assyrians, warriors
Eze 23:6 clothed in purple, governors and commanders, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
Eze 23:7 She bestowed her whoring upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them, and she defiled herself with all the idols of everyone after whom she lusted.
Eze 23:8 She did not give up her whoring that she had begun in Egypt; for in her youth men had lain with her and handled her virgin bosom and poured out their whoring lust upon her.
Eze 23:9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians, after whom she lusted.
Eze 23:10 These uncovered her nakedness; they seized her sons and her daughters; and as for her, they killed her with the sword; and she became a byword among women, when judgment had been executed on her.
Eze 23:11 "Her sister Oholibah saw this, and she became more corrupt than her sister in her lust and in her whoring, which was worse than that of her sister.
Eze 23:12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriors clothed in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
Eze 23:13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way.
Eze 23:14 But she carried her whoring further. She saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,
Eze 23:15 wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them having the appearance of officers, a likeness of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea.
Eze 23:16 When she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
Eze 23:17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, she turned from them in disgust.
Eze 23:18 When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister.
Eze 23:19 Yet she increased her whoring, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt
Eze 23:20 and lusted after her paramours there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses.
Eze 23:21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed your young breasts."
Eze 23:22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I will stir up against you your lovers from whom you turned in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side:
Eze 23:23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, desirable young men, governors and commanders all of them, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
Eze 23:24 And they shall come against you from the north with chariots and wagons and a host of peoples. They shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler, shield, and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.
Eze 23:25 And I will direct my jealousy against you, that they may deal with you in fury. They shall cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors shall fall by the sword. They shall seize your sons and your daughters, and your survivors shall be devoured by fire.
Eze 23:26 They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
Eze 23:27 Thus I will put an end to your lewdness and your whoring begun in the land of Egypt, so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.
Eze 23:28 "For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, into the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust,
Eze 23:29 and they shall deal with you in hatred and take away all the fruit of your labor and leave you naked and bare, and the nakedness of your whoring shall be uncovered. Your lewdness and your whoring
Eze 23:30 have brought this upon you, because you played the whore with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
Eze 23:31 You have gone the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.
Eze 23:32 Thus says the Lord GOD: "You shall drink your sister's cup that is deep and large; you shall be laughed at and held in derision, for it contains much;
Eze 23:33 you will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow. A cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria;
Eze 23:34 you shall drink it and drain it out, and gnaw its shards, and tear your breasts; for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.
Eze 23:35 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, you yourself must bear the consequences of your lewdness and whoring."
Eze 23:36 The LORD said to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Declare to them their abominations.
Eze 23:37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed adultery, and they have even offered up to them for food the children whom they had borne to me.
Eze 23:38 Moreover, this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day and profaned my Sabbaths.
Eze 23:39 For when they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day they came into my sanctuary to profane it. And behold, this is what they did in my house.
Eze 23:40 They even sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came. For them you bathed yourself, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments.
Eze 23:41 You sat on a stately couch, with a table spread before it on which you had placed my incense and my oil.
Eze 23:42 The sound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort, drunkards were brought from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on the hands of the women, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
Eze 23:43 "Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, Now they will continue to use her for a whore, even her!
Eze 23:44 For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a prostitute. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, lewd women!
Eze 23:45 But righteous men shall pass judgment on them with the sentence of adulteresses, and with the sentence of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands."
Eze 23:46 For thus says the Lord GOD: "Bring up a vast host against them, and make them an object of terror and a plunder.
Eze 23:47 And the host shall stone them and cut them down with their swords. They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses.
Eze 23:48 Thus will I put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not commit lewdness as you have done.
Eze 23:49 And they shall return your lewdness upon you, and you shall bear the penalty for your sinful idolatry, and you shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
Father God, you are Almighty and I praise you. You are my heavenly Father who keeps promises. You made the heavens and the earth and you who created me and loved me unconditionally. Father God, you hate the sin of adultery. You are a jealous God and punished those who does not honor and turn away from you. Father God, thank you that you are merciful and full of grace, thank you that you have chosen me and saved me from the kingdom of darkness. Thank you Jesus and continually transfrom me to a person that you want me to be. Oh Father, use me mightily as your servant and I pray that I will be faithful to you as you are to me, loving as you are to me and gracious as you are to me. Father help me that I may live a Christlike character so I can be blessing to other people and that they may be attracted to my life so I can bring more people to Jesus. This I pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus! AMEN

(O)This chapter tells me of my security in the Lord. I do not see any reason why I should not praise God everyday because of His wonderful deeds (vs 1-14) . In v15, those who look, watch and expect from Him will never be hungry. In v20, I will be guarded, I will be attended and protected by the Lord. If God is for me who can be against me?

(A)My Lord is faithful and who can be more faithful than God. Am I faithful to Him? He gives me grace and mercy but am I extending it to others? Lord I praise you and thank you but am I obedient to you?

(P) Oh graciously Father, search me now and see inside my heart. Forgive me for my unfaithfulness. Lead me to righteousness and help me to become more and more like Christ everyday. Give me the grace to be faithful and obedient to you that I may always medidate into your words and apply it in my life. Lord I will put all my trust in you because there is no help in other than you alone. I will not find security and protection other than you alone my Lord and my Father in heaven. Thank you that you chose me to be your child, thank you that I have done nothing but because of my faith in Jesus, I was made righteous to you. Thank you that even if I am a sinner, I was made holy into your sight because I have Jesus in my heart. Oh Lord help me that I may always walk in your ways and help me live a life that would please you in Jesus name I pray, AMEN!!

Lead me to an everlasting way

Eze 20:1 In the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
Eze 20:2 And the word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 20:3 "Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD, Is it to inquire of me that you come? As I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
Eze 20:4 Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Let them know the abominations of their fathers,
Eze 20:5 and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: On the day when I chose Israel, I swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, making myself known to them in the land of Egypt; I swore to them, saying, I am the LORD your God.
Eze 20:6 On that day I swore to them that I would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most glorious of all lands.
Eze 20:7 And I said to them, Cast away the detestable things your eyes feast on, every one of you, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.
Eze 20:8 But they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. None of them cast away the detestable things their eyes feasted on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. "Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them and spend my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Eze 20:9 But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
Eze 20:10 So I led them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
Eze 20:11 I gave them my statutes and made known to them my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live.
Eze 20:12 Moreover, I gave them my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
Eze 20:13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes but rejected my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. "Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to make a full end of them.
Eze 20:14 But I acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
Eze 20:15 Moreover, I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most glorious of all lands,
Eze 20:16 because they rejected my rules and did not walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
Eze 20:17 Nevertheless, my eye spared them, and I did not destroy them or make a full end of them in the wilderness.
Eze 20:18 "And I said to their children in the wilderness, Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor keep their rules, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
Eze 20:19 I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and be careful to obey my rules,
Eze 20:20 and keep my Sabbaths holy that they may be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.
Eze 20:21 But the children rebelled against me. They did not walk in my statutes and were not careful to obey my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; they profaned my Sabbaths. "Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them and spend my anger against them in the wilderness.
Eze 20:22 But I withheld my hand and acted for the sake of my name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out.
Eze 20:23 Moreover, I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them through the countries,
Eze 20:24 because they had not obeyed my rules, but had rejected my statutes and profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were set on their fathers' idols.
Eze 20:25 Moreover, I gave them statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not have life,
Eze 20:26 and I defiled them through their very gifts in their offering up all their firstborn, that I might devastate them. I did it that they might know that I am the LORD.
Eze 20:27 "Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: In this also your fathers blasphemed me, by dealing treacherously with me.
Eze 20:28 For when I had brought them into the land that I swore to give them, then wherever they saw any high hill or any leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there they sent up their pleasing aromas, and there they poured out their drink offerings.
Eze 20:29 (I said to them, What is the high place to which you go? So its name is called Bamah to this day.)
Eze 20:30 "Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: Will you defile yourselves after the manner of your fathers and go whoring after their detestable things?
Eze 20:31 When you present your gifts and offer up your children in fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. And shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
Eze 20:32 "What is in your mind shall never happen--the thought, 'Let us be like the nations, like the tribes of the countries, and worship wood and stone.'
Eze 20:33 "As I live, declares the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out I will be king over you.
Eze 20:34 I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out.
Eze 20:35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
Eze 20:36 As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares the Lord GOD.
Eze 20:37 I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.
Eze 20:38 I will purge out the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against me. I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Eze 20:39 "As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord GOD: Go serve every one of you his idols, now and hereafter, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts and your idols.
Eze 20:40 "For on my holy mountain, the mountain height of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, there all the house of Israel, all of them, shall serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your sacred offerings.
Eze 20:41 As a pleasing aroma I will accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered. And I will manifest my holiness among you in the sight of the nations.
Eze 20:42 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the country that I swore to give to your fathers.
Eze 20:43 And there you shall remember your ways and all your deeds with which you have defiled yourselves, and you shall loathe yourselves for all the evils that you have committed.
Eze 20:44 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I deal with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD."
Eze 20:45 And the word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 20:46 "Son of man, set your face toward the southland; preach against the south, and prophesy against the forest land in the Negeb.
Eze 20:47 Say to the forest of the Negeb, Hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you and every dry tree. The blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from south to north shall be scorched by it.
Eze 20:48 All flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it; it shall not be quenched."
Eze 20:49 Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! They are saying of me, 'Is he not a maker of parables?'"

Father God, thank you for this new day you have given me. I praised you for who you are. You are a loving Father, a faithful One who gives me another life. Thank you for the life that you gave me, thank you for the good health and thank you for this day you have made for me. Oh Father, protect me from evil today that I may not stumble against you. Lord I am weak but your grace is sufficient for me when I am weak. Helped me remember your commandments that I may not go astray. Lead me to an everlasting way and help me do the things in accordance to your will. I pray that you guard myself from all temptation. Guard my eyes that they will not lust, guard my thoughts that they may be pure and guard my heart that it will not deceive me. Oh Lord you are the master of my heart. You know the deepest secret of my heart. Search my heart and lead me righfully In Jesus Name I pray AMEN!

Make me a person You want me to be

Eze 21:1 The word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 21:2 "Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries. Prophesy against the land of Israel
Eze 21:3 and say to the land of Israel, Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am against you and will draw my sword from its sheath and will cut off from you both righteous and wicked.
Eze 21:4 Because I will cut off from you both righteous and wicked, therefore my sword shall be drawn from its sheath against all flesh from south to north.
Eze 21:5 And all flesh shall know that I am the LORD. I have drawn my sword from its sheath; it shall not be sheathed again.
Eze 21:6 "As for you, son of man, groan; with breaking heart and bitter grief, groan before their eyes.
Eze 21:7 And when they say to you, 'Why do you groan?' you shall say, 'Because of the news that it is coming. Every heart will melt, and all hands will be feeble; every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it is coming, and it will be fulfilled,'" declares the Lord GOD.
Eze 21:8 And the word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 21:9 "Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord, say: "A sword, a sword is sharpened and also polished,
Eze 21:10 sharpened for slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! (Or shall we rejoice? You have despised the rod, my son, with everything of wood.)
Eze 21:11 So the sword is given to be polished, that it may be grasped in the hand. It is sharpened and polished to be given into the hand of the slayer.
Eze 21:12 Cry out and wail, son of man, for it is against my people. It is against all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Strike therefore upon your thigh.
Eze 21:13 For it will not be a testing--what could it do if you despise the rod?" declares the Lord GOD.
Eze 21:14 "As for you, son of man, prophesy. Clap your hands and let the sword come down twice, yes, three times, the sword for those to be slain. It is the sword for the great slaughter, which surrounds them,
Eze 21:15 that their hearts may melt, and many stumble. At all their gates I have given the glittering sword. Ah, it is made like lightning; it is taken up for slaughter.
Eze 21:16 Cut sharply to the right; set yourself to the left, wherever your face is directed.
Eze 21:17 I also will clap my hands, and I will satisfy my fury; I the LORD have spoken."
Eze 21:18 The word of the LORD came to me again:
Eze 21:19 "As for you, son of man, mark two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to come. Both of them shall come from the same land. And make a signpost; make it at the head of the way to a city.
Eze 21:20 Mark a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the Ammonites and to Judah, into Jerusalem the fortified.
Eze 21:21 For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shakes the arrows; he consults the teraphim; he looks at the liver.
Eze 21:22 Into his right hand comes the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth with murder, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build siege towers.
Eze 21:23 But to them it will seem like a false divination. They have sworn solemn oaths, but he brings their guilt to remembrance, that they may be taken.
Eze 21:24 "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have made your guilt to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your deeds your sins appear--because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken in hand.
Eze 21:25 And you, O profane wicked one, prince of Israel, whose day has come, the time of your final punishment,
Eze 21:26 thus says the Lord GOD: Remove the turban and take off the crown. Things shall not remain as they are. Exalt that which is low, and bring low that which is exalted.
Eze 21:27 A ruin, ruin, ruin I will make it. This also shall not be, until he comes, the one to whom judgment belongs, and I will give it to him.
Eze 21:28 "And you, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach; say, A sword, a sword is drawn for the slaughter. It is polished to consume and to flash like lightning--
Eze 21:29 while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies for you--to place you on the necks of the profane wicked, whose day has come, the time of their final punishment.
Eze 21:30 Return it to its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you.
Eze 21:31 And I will pour out my indignation upon you; I will blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver you into the hands of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
Eze 21:32 You shall be fuel for the fire. Your blood shall be in the midst of the land. You shall be no more remembered, for I the LORD have spoken."

Father God, You are Sovereign and I praise you. You are faithful and merciful. Lord Almighty you created me and I thank you that you are my Father in heaven. Thank you that you have chosen me. I humble myself before your throne, Lord continue to transform my life, make me a person you want me to be. I commit everything to you today Oh Lord. Guard me and protect me against the power of evil one today. Guard my thoughts, my heart and my eyes that they may be pure. Father help me today and give me strength to do the things that may please you. Help me that I may always practice your presence in everything I do. Lord you are my refuge and my fortress, covered me with your love and comfort me. Help me that I may overcome any fears or worries in my life, because I put my trust and faith with you, in Jesus name I pray AMEN!

Nothing is impossible to you

Eze 12:1 The word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 12:2 "Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house.
Eze 12:3 As for you, son of man, prepare for yourself an exile's baggage, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go like an exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
Eze 12:4 You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile, and you shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as those do who must go into exile.
Eze 12:5 In their sight dig through the wall, and bring your baggage out through it.
Eze 12:6 In their sight you shall lift the baggage upon your shoulder and carry it out at dusk. You shall cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel."
Eze 12:7 And I did as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own hands. I brought out my baggage at dusk, carrying it on my shoulder in their sight.
Eze 12:8 In the morning the word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 12:9 "Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, 'What are you doing?'
Eze 12:10 Say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in it.'
Eze 12:11 Say, 'I am a sign for you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity.'
Eze 12:12 And the prince who is among them shall lift his baggage upon his shoulder at dusk, and shall go out. They shall dig through the wall to bring him out through it. He shall cover his face, that he may not see the land with his eyes.
Eze 12:13 And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, and he shall die there.
Eze 12:14 And I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him, his helpers and all his troops, and I will unsheathe the sword after them.
Eze 12:15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries.
Eze 12:16 But I will let a few of them escape from the sword, from famine and pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the LORD."
Eze 12:17 And the word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 12:18 "Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink water with trembling and with anxiety.
Eze 12:19 And say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink water in dismay. In this way her land will be stripped of all it contains, on account of the violence of all those who dwell in it.
Eze 12:20 And the inhabited cities shall be laid waste, and the land shall become a desolation; and you shall know that I am the LORD."
Eze 12:21 And the word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 12:22 "Son of man, what is this proverb that you have about the land of Israel, saying, 'The days grow long, and every vision comes to nothing'?
Eze 12:23 Tell them therefore, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.' But say to them, The days are near, and the fulfillment of every vision.
Eze 12:24 For there shall be no more any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Eze 12:25 For I am the LORD; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord GOD."
Eze 12:26 And the word of the LORD came to me:
Eze 12:27 "Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, 'The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.'
Eze 12:28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord GOD."

Heavenly Father, I praise you and I thank you for your lovingkindness to me and to my family. Thank you for this day that you made for me. You are a Sovereign and Almighty God. Nothing is impossible to you. Thank you for being my father in heaven and thank you for sending your son Jesus to die for my sins. Oh Lord thank you for giving me eternal life and thank you for chosing me as you child. Father in heaven, I commit to you everything today that I will walk in your ways. Lead me today in accordance to your will that I may not go astray. Help me and guide my in all decisions that I make and helped me that I may do your will. Help me that I may discern it and you will continiously open my eyes and my heart to your words. Filled me with your Spirit that I may always allow you to take control of my life In Jesus name. AMEN!

You created everything

Eze 10:1 Then I looked, and behold, on the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim there appeared above them something like a sapphire, in appearance like a throne.
Eze 10:2 And he said to the man clothed in linen, "Go in among the whirling wheels underneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city." And he went in before my eyes.
Eze 10:3 Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.
Eze 10:4 And the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the LORD.
Eze 10:5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
Eze 10:6 And when he commanded the man clothed in linen, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim," he went in and stood beside a wheel.
Eze 10:7 And a cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
Eze 10:8 The cherubim appeared to have the form of a human hand under their wings.
Eze 10:9 And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like sparkling beryl.
Eze 10:10 And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel.
Eze 10:11 When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went, but in whatever direction the front wheel faced, the others followed without turning as they went.
Eze 10:12 And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around--the wheels that the four of them had.
Eze 10:13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing "the whirling wheels."
Eze 10:14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Eze 10:15 And the cherubim mounted up. These were the living creatures that I saw by the Chebar canal.
Eze 10:16 And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them. And when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels did not turn from beside them.
Eze 10:17 When they stood still, these stood still, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.
Eze 10:18 Then the glory of the LORD went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
Eze 10:19 And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth before my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the LORD, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
Eze 10:20 These were the living creatures that I saw underneath the God of Israel by the Chebar canal; and I knew that they were cherubim.
Eze 10:21 Each had four faces, and each four wings, and underneath their wings the likeness of human hands.
Eze 10:22 And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the Chebar canal. Each one of them went straight forward.

Father God, you are awesome and Almighty. You created everything on heaven and earth. There is nothing hard for you and I praise you and thank you this day. Father God, I humble myself before your holy throne, bless me today and comfort me. Embrace me with your love and put the peace and gladness in my heart. Remove any anxiety or worries that is within me that I may live a life pleasing to you. With these weaknesses I am strong with you Oh Lord. You are my fortress and my cornerstone. You are my refuge and you defend me in anything that may harm me. I rebuke and reject any works of evil in my life and I fixed my eyes on Jesus who is the author and perfector of life. All praises and glory to your name and this I pray In Jesus Mighty Name, AMEN!

Your spirit lives in me

Eze 3:1 God said, "Mortal man, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel."
Eze 3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
Eze 3:3 He said, "Mortal man, eat this scroll that I give you; fill your stomach with it." I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey.
Eze 3:4 Then God said, "Mortal man, go to the people of Israel and say to them whatever I tell you to say.
Eze 3:5 I am not sending you to a nation that speaks a difficult foreign language, but to the Israelites.
Eze 3:6 If I sent you to great nations that spoke difficult languages you didn't understand, they would listen to you.
Eze 3:7 But none of the people of Israel will be willing to listen; they will not even listen to me. All of them are stubborn and defiant.
Eze 3:8 Now I will make you as stubborn and as tough as they are.
Eze 3:9 I will make you as firm as a rock, as hard as a diamond; don't be afraid of those rebels."
Eze 3:10 God continued, "Mortal man, pay close attention and remember everything I tell you.
Eze 3:11 Then go to the people of your nation who are in exile and tell them what I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying to them, whether they pay attention to you or not."
Eze 3:12 Then God's spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the loud roar of a voice that said, "Praise the glory of the LORD in heaven above!"
Eze 3:13 I heard the wings of the creatures beating together in the air, and the noise of the wheels, as loud as an earthquake.
Eze 3:14 The power of the LORD came on me with great force, and as his spirit carried me off, I felt bitter and angry.
Eze 3:15 So I came to Tel Abib beside the Chebar River, where the exiles were living, and for seven days I stayed there, overcome by what I had seen and heard.
Eze 3:16 After the seven days had passed, the LORD spoke to me.
Eze 3:17 "Mortal man," he said, "I am making you a lookout for the nation of Israel. You will pass on to them the warnings I give you.
Eze 3:18 If I announce that someone evil is going to die but you do not warn him to change his ways so that he can save his life, he will die, still a sinner, but I will hold you responsible for his death.
Eze 3:19 If you do warn an evil man and he doesn't stop sinning, he will die, still a sinner, but your life will be spared.
Eze 3:20 "If someone truly good starts doing evil and I put him in a dangerous situation, he will die if you do not warn him. He will die because of his sins---I will not remember the good he did---and I will hold you responsible for his death.
Eze 3:21 If you do warn a good man not to sin and he listens to you and doesn't sin, he will stay alive, and your life will also be spared."
Eze 3:22 I felt the powerful presence of the LORD and heard him say to me, "Get up and go out into the valley. I will talk to you there."
Eze 3:23 So I went out into the valley, and there I saw the glory of the LORD, just as I had seen it beside the Chebar River. I fell face downward on the ground,
Eze 3:24 but God's spirit entered me and raised me to my feet. The LORD said to me, "Go home and shut yourself up in the house.
Eze 3:25 You will be tied with ropes, mortal man, and you will not be able to go out in public.
Eze 3:26 I will paralyze your tongue so that you won't be able to warn these rebellious people.
Eze 3:27 Then, when I speak to you again and give you back the power of speech, you will tell them what I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying. Some of them will listen, but some will ignore you, for they are a nation of rebels."
Father God, How faithful you are to me and I praise you. I worship you today and I pray that I will always put my faith and trust in you. I cast my fears and worries to you this day and I pray for comfort. Oh God thank you for being your child. Thank you for Jesus who died for all my sins. Thank you for giving me eternal life and saving me from eternal punishment. Lord help me today that I may live a life pleasing to you. That I may always practice your presence in my life because your Spirit lives in me. Help me that I may always consult you in every decisions that I will do today. I commit everything to you today my Lord. Bless me and guide me in all my ways that I may not lean unto my own understanding but your understanding. Give me wisdom to do all things in accordance to your will, In Jesus mighty name I pray, AMEN!

Teach me your ways

Jer 52:1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of the Jeremiah who lived in the city of Libnah.
Jer 52:2 King Zedekiah sinned against the LORD, just as King Jehoiakim had done.
Jer 52:3 The LORD became so angry with the people of Jerusalem and Judah that he banished them from his sight. Zedekiah rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia,
Jer 52:4 and so Nebuchadnezzar came with all his army and attacked Jerusalem on the tenth day of the tenth month of the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign. They set up camp outside the city, built siege walls around it,
Jer 52:5 and kept it under siege until Zedekiah's eleventh year.
Jer 52:6 On the ninth day of the fourth month of that same year, when the famine was so bad that the people had nothing left to eat,
Jer 52:7 the city walls were broken through. Although the Babylonians were surrounding the city, all the soldiers escaped during the night. They left by way of the royal garden, went through the gateway connecting the two walls, and fled in the direction of the Jordan Valley.
Jer 52:8 But the Babylonian army pursued King Zedekiah, captured him in the plains near Jericho, and all his soldiers deserted him.
Jer 52:9 Zedekiah was taken to King Nebuchadnezzar, who was in the city of Riblah in the territory of Hamath, and there Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
Jer 52:10 At Riblah he put Zedekiah's sons to death while Zedekiah was looking on and he also had the officials of Judah executed.
Jer 52:11 After that, he had Zedekiah's eyes put out and had him placed in chains and taken to Babylon. Zedekiah remained in prison in Babylon until the day he died.
Jer 52:12 On the tenth day of the fifth month of the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia, Nebuzaradan, adviser to the king and commander of his army, entered Jerusalem.
Jer 52:13 He burned down the Temple, the palace, and the houses of all the important people in Jerusalem;
Jer 52:14 and his soldiers tore down the city walls.
Jer 52:15 Then Nebuzaradan took away to Babylonia the people who were left in the city, the remaining skilled workers, and those who had deserted to the Babylonians.
Jer 52:16 But he left in Judah some of the poorest people, who owned no property, and he put them to work in the vineyards and fields.
Jer 52:17 The Babylonians broke in pieces the bronze columns and the carts that were in the Temple, together with the large bronze tank, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
Jer 52:18 They also took away the shovels and the ash containers used in cleaning the altar, the tools used in tending the lamps, the bowls used for catching the blood from the sacrifices, the bowls used for burning incense, and all the other bronze articles used in the Temple service.
Jer 52:19 They took away everything that was made of gold or silver: the small bowls, the pans used for carrying live coals, the bowls for holding the blood from the sacrifices, the ash containers, the lampstands, the bowls used for incense, and the bowls used for pouring out wine offerings.
Jer 52:20 The bronze objects that King Solomon had made for the Temple---the two columns, the carts, the large tank, and the twelve bulls that supported it---were too heavy to weigh.
Jer 52:21 The two columns were identical: each one was 27 feet high and 18 feet around. They were hollow, and the metal was 3 inches thick. On top of each column was a bronze capital 7 1/2 feet high, and all around it was a grillwork decorated with pomegranates, all of which was also made of bronze.
Jer 52:22 (SEE 52:21)
Jer 52:23 On the grillwork of each column there were a hundred pomegranates in all, and ninety-six of these were visible from the ground.
Jer 52:24 In addition, Nebuzaradan, the commanding officer, took away as prisoners Seraiah the High Priest, Zephaniah the priest next in rank, and the three other important Temple officials.
Jer 52:25 From the city he took the officer who had been in command of the troops, seven of the king's personal advisers who were still in the city, the commander's assistant, who was in charge of military records, and sixty other important men.
Jer 52:26 Nebuzaradan took them to the king of Babylonia, who was in the city of Riblah
Jer 52:27 in the territory of Hamath. There the king had them beaten and put to death. So the people of Judah were carried away from their land into exile.
Jer 52:28 This is the record of the people that Nebuchadnezzar took away as prisoners: in his seventh year as king he carried away 3,023;
Jer 52:29 in his eighteenth year, 832 from Jerusalem;
Jer 52:30 and in his twenty-third year, 745---taken away by Nebuzaradan. In all, 4,600 people were taken away.
Jer 52:31 In the year that Evil-merodach became king of Babylonia, he showed kindness to King Jehoiachin of Judah by releasing him from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin had been taken away as a prisoner.
Jer 52:32 Evil-merodach treated him kindly and gave him a position of greater honor than he gave the other kings who were exiles with him in Babylonia.
Jer 52:33 So Jehoiachin was permitted to change from his prison clothes and to dine at the king's table for the rest of his life.
Jer 52:34 Each day for as long as he lived, he was given a regular allowance for his needs.

Father God, I thank you and I praised you this day for loving me. I thank you for your faithfulness. I thank you that you have given me another life to live on this earth. Oh Lord filled me with Your Holy Spirit that I may do the things above. Help me focus on the things unseen and not on seen. Help me that I can be blessing to my family and other people. Thank you for teaching me day by day. Continue to teach me your way and not my way, I put my trust in you my loving Father who created the universe and the stars. Oh how vast is your knowledge! Your ways is not my ways. The heaven declares your glory! Thank you that I have big God who loves me unconditionally. Father in heaven, this day, I pray that you give me wisdom to do the things that you want me to accomplished and I commit to you everything, guard my eyes, tongue, my thoughts and my heart that I may not sinned against you, In Jesus name AMEN!

Renewing of mind

Jer 47:1 Before the king of Egypt attacked Gaza, the LORD spoke to me about Philistia.
Jer 47:2 He said: "Look! Waters are rising in the north and will rush like a river in flood. They will cover the land and everything on it, cities and the people who live there. People will call out for help; everyone on earth will cry bitterly.
Jer 47:3 They will hear the hoofbeats of horses, the clatter of chariots, the rumble of wheels. Parents will not turn back for their children; their hands will hang limp at their sides.
Jer 47:4 The time has come to destroy Philistia, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon all the help that remains. I, the LORD, will destroy the Philistines, all who came from the shores of Crete.
Jer 47:5 Great sorrow has come to the people of Gaza, and Ashkelon's people are silent. How long will the rest of Philistia mourn?
Jer 47:6 You cry out, 'Sword of the LORD! How long will you go on slashing? Go back to your scabbard, stay there and rest!'
Jer 47:7 But how can it rest, when I have given it work to do? I have commanded it to attack Ashkelon and the people who live on the coast."

Father God, I thank you today for giving me another life, another strength and another day that you made for me. Lord I praised you because you love me so much, so much that you gave your only Son Jesus to die for me, to save me from eternal punishment. Thank you Father for your unconditional love and this day, deliver me from any evil. Help me live a pure life today, that I may not be deceived by this world, that I may continually worship you in anything that I do. Oh God, I commit to you myself and all the things that I will do today. Help me to continually be transformed by the renewing of my mind. I rebuke any works of evil in Jesus name. Father help me to conitually use the power of the Holy Spirit, the same power you used when You raised Jesus from the dead. Oh my Lord, help me to be reminded of my position in Christ, that I am a child of God and the power of the enemy cannot tempt and deceive me because greater is You that lives in me than he that lives in this world. He cannot snatch me anymore from your hand because you are Mighty and powerful. Father all praises to you in Jesus Name I pray, AMEN!

There will be consequence

Jer 43:1 I finished telling the people everything that the LORD their God had sent me to tell them.
Jer 43:2 Then Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the other arrogant men said to me, "You are lying. The LORD our God did not send you to tell us not to go and live in Egypt.
Jer 43:3 Baruch son of Neriah has stirred you up against us, so that the Babylonians will gain power over us and can either kill us or take us away to Babylonia."
Jer 43:4 So neither Johanan nor any of the army officers nor any of the people would obey the LORD's command to remain in the land of Judah.
Jer 43:5 Then Johanan and all the army officers took everybody left in Judah away to Egypt, together with all the people who had returned from the nations where they had been scattered:
Jer 43:6 the men, the women, the children, and the king's daughters. They took everyone whom Nebuzaradan the commanding officer had left under the care of Gedaliah, including Baruch and me.
Jer 43:7 They disobeyed the LORD's command and went into Egypt as far as the city of Tahpanhes.
Jer 43:8 There the LORD said to me,
Jer 43:9 "Get some large stones and bury them in the mortar of the pavement in front of the entrance to the government building here in the city, and let some of the Israelites see you do it.
Jer 43:10 Then tell them that I, the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, am going to bring my servant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia to this place, and he will put his throne over these stones that you buried, and will spread the royal tent over them.
Jer 43:11 Nebuchadnezzar will come and defeat Egypt. Those people who are doomed to die of disease will die of disease, those doomed to be taken away as prisoners will be taken away as prisoners, and those doomed to be killed in war will be killed in war.
Jer 43:12 I will set fire to the temples of Egypt's gods, and the king of Babylonia will either burn their gods or carry them off. As shepherds pick their clothes clean of lice, so the king of Babylonia will pick the land of Egypt clean and then leave victorious.
Jer 43:13 He will destroy the sacred stone monuments at Heliopolis in Egypt and will burn down the temples of the Egyptian gods."

Father in Heaven, I praised you this morning. You are a merciful God and and just. You love me even I am a sinner. Thank you for giving me eternal life and choosing me as your adopted child. Thank you for being a loving and gracious father to me. Help me that I may always obey your commandments and that I may not go astray from your way. Help me Father that I may always focus on your Son Jesus and help me always find your way not my own way. Filled me with your Spirit and help me to live a holy life. Deliver me from evil this day that I may glorify your name. Oh Father you have reminded me tha there is always a consequence if I disobey you. If I do things that is not pleasing to you. If I do it my own way, there will be problem. Lord help me to discern your will that I may follow your ways and live my life to everlasting way, this I pray in Jesus name, AMEN!

I put my faith in You

Jer 39:1 In the tenth month of the ninth year that Zedekiah was king of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia came with his whole army and attacked Jerusalem.
Jer 39:2 On the ninth day of the fourth month of Zedekiah's eleventh year as king, the city walls were broken through.
Jer 39:3 (When Jerusalem was captured, all the high officials of the king of Babylonia came and took their places at the Middle Gate, including Nergal Sharezer, Samgar Nebo, Sarsechim, and another Nergal Sharezer. )
Jer 39:4 When King Zedekiah and all his soldiers saw what was happening, they tried to escape from the city during the night. They left by way of the royal garden, went through the gateway connecting the two walls, and escaped in the direction of the Jordan Valley.
Jer 39:5 But the Babylonian army pursued them and captured Zedekiah in the plains near Jericho. Then they took him to King Nebuchadnezzar, who was in the city of Riblah in the territory of Hamath, and there Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
Jer 39:6 At Riblah he put Zedekiah's sons to death while Zedekiah was looking on, and he also had the officials of Judah executed.
Jer 39:7 After that, he had Zedekiah's eyes put out and had him placed in chains to be taken to Babylonia.
Jer 39:8 Meanwhile, the Babylonians burned down the royal palace and the houses of the people and tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
Jer 39:9 Finally Nebuzaradan, the commanding officer, took away as prisoners to Babylonia the people who were left in the city, together with those who had deserted to him.
Jer 39:10 He left in the land of Judah some of the poorest people, who owned no property, and he gave them vineyards and fields.
Jer 39:11 But King Nebuchadnezzar commanded Nebuzaradan, the commanding officer, to give the following order:
Jer 39:12 "Go and find Jeremiah and take good care of him. Do not harm him, but do for him whatever he wants."
Jer 39:13 So Nebuzaradan, together with the high officials Nebushazban and Nergal Sharezer and all the other officers of the king of Babylonia,
Jer 39:14 had me brought from the palace courtyard. They put me under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, who was to see that I got home safely. And so I stayed there among the people.
Jer 39:15 While I was still imprisoned in the palace courtyard, the LORD told me
Jer 39:16 to tell Ebedmelech the Ethiopian that the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, had said, "Just as I said I would, I am going to bring upon this city destruction and not prosperity. And when this happens, you will be there to see it.
Jer 39:17 But I, the LORD, will protect you, and you will not be handed over to the people you are afraid of.
Jer 39:18 I will keep you safe, and you will not be put to death. You will escape with your life because you have put your trust in me. I, the LORD, have spoken."
Father God, I thank you and I praise you this day. Thank you for this wonderful day you have made for me. Thank you for your faithfulness and I humbly come before your throne. Filled me with your Holy Spirit today that I may live a life that is holy and pleasing to you, Thank you for forgiving all my sins through your son.I put my trust in you today Oh my Lord and I thank you that you will protect me. I put my faith in you today Lord that I will seek your counsel in everything that I do. I praise you and help me that I may not put shame to your name to day, help me to live a life pleasing to you that I may not grieved the Holy Spirit that lives in me. Do not lead me to test and I rebuke any works of evil today because greater is He that lives in me than he that lives in this world In Jesus Name I pray AMEN!

Jer 31:32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD.
Jer 31:33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
Jer 31:35 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:
Jer 31:36 "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."
Jer 31:37 Thus says the LORD: "If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, then I will cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the LORD."
Jer 31:38 "Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when the city shall be rebuilt for the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
Jer 31:39 And the measuring line shall go out farther, straight to the hill Gareb, and shall then turn to Goah.
Jer 31:40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be sacred to the LORD. It shall not be uprooted or overthrown anymore forever."

Father in Heaven, I praised you this morning and I thank you for all your faithfulness. I humbly come before your throne praising and thanking you for your lovingkindness. Lord make my heart right with you today that I may be protected from any evil things of this world. Purify my thoughts and search my heart if there is any deceitful thing in it. Lord you are the master of my heart and you know everything about me even the deepest secrets of my heart, you know it. You know when I rise and when I sit down. You know everything about me because you have known me before the foundation of this world. You know your plans for me and help me Lord that I my remain faithful to you day by day. I thank you for your love to me and help me that I may not go astray from your words. This I pray In Jesus Name, AMEN.

You led me to see the light

Jer 29:1 These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders of the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Jer 29:2 This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the eunuchs, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metal workers had departed from Jerusalem.
Jer 29:3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It said:
Jer 29:4 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Jer 29:5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce.
Jer 29:6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease.
Jer 29:7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
Jer 29:8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream,
Jer 29:9 for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the LORD.
Jer 29:10 "For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place.
Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jer 29:12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.
Jer 29:13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Jer 29:14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.
Jer 29:15 "Because you have said, 'The LORD has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,'
Jer 29:16 thus says the LORD concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your kinsmen who did not go out with you into exile:
Jer 29:17 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, behold, I am sending on them sword, famine, and pestilence, and I will make them like vile figs that are so rotten they cannot be eaten.
Jer 29:18 I will pursue them with sword, famine, and pestilence, and will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,
Jer 29:19 because they did not pay attention to my words, declares the LORD, that I persistently sent to you by my servants the prophets, but you would not listen, declares the LORD.'
Jer 29:20 Hear the word of the LORD, all you exiles whom I sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Jer 29:21 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying a lie to you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall strike them down before your eyes.
Jer 29:22 Because of them this curse shall be used by all the exiles from Judah in Babylon: "The LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,"
Jer 29:23 because they have done an outrageous thing in Israel, they have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives, and they have spoken in my name lying words that I did not command them. I am the one who knows, and I am witness, declares the LORD.'"
Jer 29:24 To Shemaiah of Nehelam you shall say:
Jer 29:25 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: You have sent letters in your name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Jer 29:26 'The LORD has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to have charge in the house of the LORD over every madman who prophesies, to put him in the stocks and neck irons.
Jer 29:27 Now why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth who is prophesying to you?
Jer 29:28 For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, "Your exile will be long; build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their produce."'"
Jer 29:29 Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
Jer 29:30 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Jer 29:31 "Send to all the exiles, saying, 'Thus says the LORD concerning Shemaiah of Nehelam: Because Shemaiah had prophesied to you when I did not send him, and has made you trust in a lie,
Jer 29:32 therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I will punish Shemaiah of Nehelam and his descendants. He shall not have anyone living among this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, declares the LORD, for he has spoken rebellion against the LORD.'"
Father God, I praised you because you are true to your promises. I seek you and I found you. You chose me but I did not choose you. OH Lord forgive me, I am a sinner but because you sent your son Jesus to die for my sins, you have put me right with you because of my faith in Jesus. Thank you Lord, that you led me to see the light. Father this day, bless me and filled me your Holy Spirit. Guard my thoughts, my eyes and my heart that I may not sin against you this day. Protect me from any evil. I rebuke and reject any works of evil. Help me that I may only focus into your words because I heed it in my heart. Lord, do no let me be astray today from your words, in every single thoughts I have, help me that it may be pure and holy because you are holy. I pray all this in the mighty Name of your Son Jesus, AMEN!

Search my heart

Jer 17:1 "The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars,
Jer 17:2 while their children remember their altars and their Asherim, beside every green tree and on the high hills,
Jer 17:3 on the mountains in the open country. Your wealth and all your treasures I will give for spoil as the price of your high places for sin throughout all your territory.
Jer 17:4 You shall loosen your hand from your heritage that I gave to you, and I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever."
Jer 17:5 Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD.
Jer 17:6 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.
Jer 17:7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.
Jer 17:8 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 does not cease to bear fruit."
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Jer 17:10 "I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds."
Jer 17:11 Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but not by justice; in the midst of his days they will leave him, and at his end he will be a fool.
Jer 17:12 A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
Jer 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be put to shame; those who turn away from you shall be written in the earth, for they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living water.
Jer 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.
Jer 17:15 Behold, they say to me, "Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come!"
Jer 17:16 I have not run away from being your shepherd, nor have I desired the day of sickness. You know what came out of my lips; it was before your face.
Jer 17:17 Be not a terror to me; you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
Jer 17:18 Let those be put to shame who persecute me, but let me not be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed; bring upon them the day of disaster; destroy them with double destruction!
Jer 17:19 Thus said the LORD to me: "Go and stand in the People's Gate, by which the kings of Judah enter and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem,
Jer 17:20 and say: 'Hear the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates.
Jer 17:21 Thus says the LORD: Take care for the sake of your lives, and do not bear a burden on the Sabbath day or bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Jer 17:22 And do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath or do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.
Jer 17:23 Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck, that they might not hear and receive instruction.
Jer 17:24 "'But if you listen to me, declares the LORD, and bring in no burden by the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work on it,
Jer 17:25 then there shall enter by the gates of this city kings and princes who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their officials, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited forever.
Jer 17:26 And people shall come from the cities of Judah and the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the Shephelah, from the hill country, and from the Negeb, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of the LORD.
Jer 17:27 But if you do not listen to me, to keep the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter by the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem and shall not be quenched.'
Father God, you are the master of my heart. Search my heart and tell me if there is any deceitful thing in it. Purify my heart and let me come before your holy throne today to worship you, to praise you and to thank you for all the things you are doing in my life. Allow me Lord to see the blessings the wonderful things that you are doing to me. Show me Father your wonderful deeds that I may thank you and praise you. Father continue to open my eyes and let me focus on the things that are unseen and not on the things of this world. Oh Father I am your adopted child and let me thank you for chosing me as you heir in your kingdom. Do not allow me to put shame in your name but help me live a holy life because you are holy. You are my fortress and my salvation. Jesus you are my cornerstone and my refuge. Restore to me this day my joy of salvation and help me to have contenment and peace in my heart.

Heavenly Father, give me the power to avoid temptations and deliver me from any evil today. Protect me and my family from evil and from any harm In Jesus Name I pray AMEN!

You hate those who do not obey YOU

Jer 9:1 I wish my head were a well of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I could cry day and night for my people who have been killed.
Jer 9:2 I wish I had a place to stay in the desert where I could get away from my people. They are all unfaithful, a mob of traitors.
Jer 9:3 They are always ready to tell lies; dishonesty instead of truth rules the land. The LORD says, "My people do one evil thing after another and do not acknowledge me as their God."
Jer 9:4 Everyone must be on guard against their friends, and no one can trust their relatives; for all relatives are as deceitful as Jacob, and everyone slanders their friends.
Jer 9:5 They all mislead their friends, and no one tells the truth; they have taught their tongues to lie and will not give up their sinning. They do one violent thing after another, and one deceitful act follows another. The LORD says that his people reject him.
Jer 9:6 (SEE 9:5)
Jer 9:7 Because of this the LORD Almighty says, "I will refine my people like metal and put them to the test. My people have done evil--- what else can I do with them?
Jer 9:8 Their tongues are like deadly arrows; they always tell lies. Everyone speaks friendly words to their neighbors, but they are really setting a trap for them.
Jer 9:9 Will I not punish them for these things? Will I not take revenge on a nation like this? I, the LORD, have spoken."
Jer 9:10 I said, "I will mourn for the mountains and weep for the pastures, because they have dried up, and no one travels through them. The sound of livestock is no longer heard; birds and wild animals have fled and gone."
Jer 9:11 The LORD says, "I will make Jerusalem a pile of ruins, a place where jackals live; the cities of Judah will become a desert, a place where no one lives."
Jer 9:12 I asked, " LORD, why is the land devastated and dry as a desert, so that no one travels through it? Who is wise enough to understand this? To whom have you explained it so that they can tell others?"
Jer 9:13 The LORD answered, "This has happened because my people have abandoned the teaching that I gave them. They have not obeyed me or done what I told them.
Jer 9:14 Instead, they have been stubborn and have worshiped the idols of Baal as their ancestors taught them to do.
Jer 9:15 So then, listen to what I, the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, will do: I will give my people bitter plants to eat and poison to drink.
Jer 9:16 I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their ancestors have heard about, and I will send armies against them until I have completely destroyed them."
Jer 9:17 The LORD Almighty said, "Think about what is happening! Call for the mourners to come, for the women who sing funeral songs."
Jer 9:18 The people said, "Tell them to hurry and sing a funeral song for us, until our eyes fill with tears, and our eyelids are wet from crying."
Jer 9:19 Listen to the sound of crying in Zion: "We are ruined! We are completely disgraced! We must leave our land; our homes have been torn down."
Jer 9:20 I said, "Listen to the LORD, you women, and pay attention to his words. Teach your daughters how to mourn, and your friends how to sing a funeral song.
Jer 9:21 Death has come in through our windows and entered our palaces; it has cut down the children in the streets and the young men in the marketplaces.
Jer 9:22 Dead bodies are scattered everywhere, like piles of manure on the fields, like grain cut and left behind by the reapers, grain that no one gathers. This is what the LORD has told me to say."
Jer 9:23 The LORD says, "The wise should not boast of their wisdom, nor the strong of their strength, nor the rich of their wealth.
Jer 9:24 If any want to boast, they should boast that they know and understand me, because my love is constant, and I do what is just and right. These are the things that please me. I, the LORD, have spoken."
Jer 9:25 The LORD says, "The time is coming when I will punish the people of Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and the desert people, who have their hair cut short. All these people are circumcised, but have not kept the covenant it symbolizes. None of these people and none of the people of Israel have kept my covenant."
Jer 9:26 (SEE 9:25)

Father God, thank you for this day. You are a Sovereign God, the Almighty God, the God of the universe and my Father in heaven.Thank you for adopting me as your child through your Son Jesus. Thank you for chosing me Oh Lord that even I am a sinner You still loved me uncondionally. Deliver me from evil today Lord that I ma do things that will please and glorify Your name. Oh Lord You hate those who do not obey You. You hate those are boasting about their own wisdom, strength and richness. Guide me and search my heart Lord and see of there is any deceitful thing. Make my heart right Oh Lord that you may always be pleased in me. Thank you Jesus for forgiving all my sins and allow me to praise and thank you this day for what you have done for me. Thank you for giving eternal life that I put my trust in you every moment of my life. Thank you Jesus thank you that you you have saved me from the dominion of darkness and brought me to light. You are worthy to be praised! In Your name I pray, AMEN.

Increase my faith to you

Jer 8:1 "At that time the bones of the kings and of the officials of Judah, as well as the bones of the priests, of the prophets, and of the other people who lived in Jerusalem, will be taken out of their graves.
Jer 8:2 Instead of being gathered and buried, their bones will be like manure lying on the ground. They will be spread out before the sun, the moon, and the stars, which these people have loved and served, and which they have consulted and worshiped.
Jer 8:3 And the people of this evil nation who survive, who live in the places where I have scattered them, will prefer to die rather than to go on living. I, the LORD Almighty, have spoken."
Jer 8:4 The LORD told me to say to his people, "When someone falls down, doesn't he get back up? If someone misses the road, doesn't he turn back?
Jer 8:5 Why then, my people, do you turn away from me without ever turning back? You cling to your idols and refuse to return to me.
Jer 8:6 I listened carefully, but you did not speak the truth. Not one of you has been sorry for your wickedness; not one of you has asked, 'What have I done wrong?' Each of you keep on going your own way, like a horse rushing into battle.
Jer 8:7 Even storks know when it is time to return; doves, swallows, and thrushes know when it is time to migrate. But, my people, you do not know the laws by which I rule you.
Jer 8:8 How can you say that you are wise and that you know my laws? Look, the laws have been changed by dishonest scribes.
Jer 8:9 Your wise men are put to shame; they are confused and trapped. They have rejected my words; what wisdom do they have now?
Jer 8:10 So I will give their fields to new owners and their wives to other men. Everyone, great and small, tries to make money dishonestly. Even prophets and priests cheat the people.
Jer 8:11 They act as if my people's wounds were only scratches. 'All is well,' they say, when all is not well.
Jer 8:12 My people, were you ashamed because you did these disgusting things? No, you were not ashamed at all; you don't even know how to blush! And so you will fall as others have fallen; when I punish you, that will be the end of you. I, the LORD, have spoken.
Jer 8:13 "I wanted to gather my people, as a farmer gathers a harvest; but they are like a vine with no grapes, like a fig tree with no figs; even the leaves have withered. Therefore, I have allowed outsiders to take over the land."
Jer 8:14 "Why are we sitting still?" God's people ask. "Come on, we will run to the fortified cities and die there. The LORD our God has condemned us to die; he has given us poison to drink, because we have sinned against him.
Jer 8:15 We hoped for peace and a time of healing, but it was no use; terror came instead.
Jer 8:16 Our enemies are already in the city of Dan; we hear the snorting of their horses. The whole land trembles when their horses neigh. Our enemies have come to destroy our land and everything in it, our city and all its people."
Jer 8:17 "Watch out!" the LORD says, "I am sending snakes among you, poisonous snakes that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you."
Jer 8:18 My sorrow cannot be healed; I am sick at heart.
Jer 8:19 Listen! Throughout the land I hear my people crying out, "Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is Zion's king no longer there?" The LORD, their king, replies, "Why have you made me angry by worshiping your idols and by bowing down to your useless foreign gods?"
Jer 8:20 The people cry out, "The summer is gone, the harvest is over, but we have not been saved."
Jer 8:21 My heart has been crushed because my people are crushed; I mourn; I am completely dismayed.
Jer 8:22 Is there no medicine in Gilead? Are there no doctors there? Why, then, have my people not been healed?

Father God, I praised you and thank you this morning for another life you gave me on earth. Thank you for giving me good healthy body. Thank you Father God that you have made this day for me. Lord I praised you because you loved me so much and unconditionally. Help me today that I may not go astray and deliver me from any evil. Oh Father you have reminded me of your anger to those people who continue to commit sin and and I pray that I may continue to abide into your words. I pray that you increase my faith to you, and comfort me Oh Lord. Lord help me that I may continue to renew my mind and be transformed into Christlikeness. Help me not to be conformed by the pattern of this world but help me to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. Father God, I commit everything to you this day in everything that I do this I pray in Jesus name, Amen.

Help me to finish well

Isa 65:1 The LORD said, "I was ready to answer my people's prayers, but they did not pray. I was ready for them to find me, but they did not even try. The nation did not pray to me, even though I was always ready to answer, 'Here I am; I will help you.'
Isa 65:2 I have always been ready to welcome my people, who stubbornly do what is wrong and go their own way.
Isa 65:3 They shamelessly keep on making me angry. They offer pagan sacrifices at sacred gardens and burn incense on pagan altars.
Isa 65:4 At night they go to caves and tombs to consult the spirits of the dead. They eat pork and drink broth made from meat offered in pagan sacrifices.
Isa 65:5 And then they say to others, 'Keep away from us; we are too holy for you to touch!' I cannot stand people like that---my anger against them is like a fire that never goes out.
Isa 65:6 "I have already decided on their punishment, and their sentence is written down. I will not overlook what they have done, but will repay them
Isa 65:7 for their sins and the sins of their ancestors. They have burned incense at pagan hill shrines and spoken evil of me. So I will punish them as their past deeds deserve."
Isa 65:8 The LORD says, "No one destroys good grapes; instead, they make wine with them. Neither will I destroy all my people---I will save those who serve me.
Isa 65:9 I will bless the Israelites who belong to the tribe of Judah, and their descendants will possess my land of mountains. My chosen people, who serve me, will live there.
Isa 65:10 They will worship me and will lead their sheep and cattle to pasture in the Plain of Sharon in the west and in Trouble Valley in the east.
Isa 65:11 "But it will be different for you that forsake me, who ignore Zion, my sacred hill, and worship Gad and Meni, the gods of luck and fate.
Isa 65:12 It will be your fate to die a violent death, because you did not answer when I called you or listen when I spoke. You chose to disobey me and do evil.
Isa 65:13 And so I tell you that those who worship and obey me will have plenty to eat and drink, but you will be hungry and thirsty. They will be happy, but you will be disgraced.
Isa 65:14 They will sing for joy, but you will cry with a broken heart.
Isa 65:15 My chosen people will use your name as a curse. I, the Sovereign LORD, will put you to death. But I will give a new name to those who obey me.
Isa 65:16 Anyone in the land who asks for a blessing will ask to be blessed by the faithful God. Whoever takes an oath will swear by the name of the faithful God. The troubles of the past will be gone and forgotten."
Isa 65:17 The LORD says, "I am making a new earth and new heavens. The events of the past will be completely forgotten.
Isa 65:18 Be glad and rejoice forever in what I create. The new Jerusalem I make will be full of joy, and her people will be happy.
Isa 65:19 I myself will be filled with joy because of Jerusalem and her people. There will be no weeping there, no calling for help.
Isa 65:20 Babies will no longer die in infancy, and all people will live out their life span. Those who live to be a hundred will be considered young. To die before that would be a sign that I had punished them.
Isa 65:21 People will build houses and get to live in them---they will not be used by someone else. They will plant vineyards and enjoy the wine---it will not be drunk by others. Like trees, my people will live long lives. They will fully enjoy the things that they have worked for.
Isa 65:22 (SEE 65:21)
Isa 65:23 The work they do will be successful, and their children will not meet with disaster. I will bless them and their descendants for all time to come.
Isa 65:24 Even before they finish praying to me, I will answer their prayers.
Isa 65:25 Wolves and lambs will eat together; lions will eat straw, as cattle do, and snakes will no longer be dangerous. On Zion, my sacred hill, there will be nothing harmful or evil."

My Heavenly Father, I humble myself before your throne this day. Thank you for reminding of the new heaven and new earth that I hope for. Help me to finish well on this race to eternity. Thank you for reminding that there is always consequence on every sin. Thank you Father that You are a merciful God. Oh Father, I pray for comfort today and I surrender to you all my fears. I cast all my fears and worries in life to You that I may live into your comfort. Forgive me my Father to my unfaithfulness but continually changed my heart and make me a person you want me to be. Help me that I may follow your ways day by day, that I may not go astray as like a sheep leaving out the pen. Lord I am your servant and You are Holy. Help me live a holy and godly life that I may always be aware that I am a child of God and that I may always remember that while I am a sinner, Jesus gave His life for me. Help me that I may keep your words in my heart forevermore and will praise you throughout my life. This I pray in the Holy Name of Your Son JESUS, AMEN!
