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. Help me to discern your will to me this day that I may follow your ways and not my ways my God. Help me to be more intimate with you day by day and transform me into glory to glory. 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.

You are everything!


Isa 48:1 Listen to this, people of Israel, you that are descended from Judah: You swear by the name of the LORD and claim to worship the God of Israel--- but you don't mean a word you say.
Isa 48:2 And yet you are proud to say that you are citizens of the holy city and that you depend on Israel's God, whose name is the LORD Almighty.
Isa 48:3 The LORD says to Israel, "Long ago I predicted what would take place; then suddenly I made it happen.
Isa 48:4 I knew that you would prove to be stubborn, as rigid as iron and unyielding as bronze.
Isa 48:5 And so I predicted your future long ago, announcing events before they took place, to keep you from claiming that your idols and images made them happen.
Isa 48:6 "All I foretold has now taken place; you have to admit my predictions were right. Now I will tell you of new things to come, events that I did not reveal before.
Isa 48:7 Only now am I making them happen; nothing like this took place in the past. If it had, you would claim that you knew all about it.
Isa 48:8 I knew that you couldn't be trusted, that you have always been known as a rebel. That is why you never heard of this at all, why no word of it ever came to your ears.
Isa 48:9 "In order that people will praise my name, I am holding my anger in check; I am keeping it back and will not destroy you.
Isa 48:10 I have tested you in the fire of suffering, as silver is refined in a furnace. But I have found that you are worthless.
Isa 48:11 What I do is done for my own sake--- I will not let my name be dishonored or let anyone else share the glory that should be mine and mine alone."
Isa 48:12 The LORD says, "Listen to me, Israel, the people I have called! I am God, the first, the last, the only God!
Isa 48:13 My hands made the earth's foundations and spread the heavens out. When I summon earth and sky, they come at once and present themselves.
Isa 48:14 "Assemble and listen, all of you! None of the gods could predict that the man I have chosen would attack Babylon; he will do what I want him to do.
Isa 48:15 I am the one who spoke and called him; I led him out and gave him success.
Isa 48:16 "Now come close to me and hear what I say. From the beginning I have spoken openly and have always made my words come true." (Now the Sovereign LORD has given me his power and sent me.)
Isa 48:17 The holy God of Israel, the LORD who saves you, says: "I am the LORD your God, the one who wants to teach you for your own good and direct you in the way you should go.
Isa 48:18 "If only you had listened to my commands! Then blessings would have flowed for you like a stream that never goes dry. Victory would have come to you like the waves that roll on the shore.
Isa 48:19 Your descendants would be as numerous as grains of sand, and I would have made sure they were never destroyed."
Isa 48:20 Go out from Babylon, go free! Shout the news gladly; make it known everywhere: "The LORD has saved his servant Israel!"
Isa 48:21 When the LORD led his people through a hot, dry desert, they did not suffer from thirst. He made water come from a rock for them; he split the rock open, and water flowed out.
Isa 48:22 "There is no safety for sinners," says the LORD.

Father in Heaven, I praised you and I thank you fo this wonderful day that you have made for me. Thank you for being a faithful Father. You who gives me life and strenght and You who created me and knows everything about me even the deepest secrets of my heart, You who had known me even before the foundation of this world, How wonderful are your deeds to me Oh Lord. And as I knew you, You have humbled me and I see my sins. I am not worthy to praise You but because of the blood of Christ, I am being made worthy and put right to you. Jesus, you are everything! Thank you that you saved me from all my unrigheousness! Thank you for dying on the cross that I may have life. Thank you that your Spirit dwells in me. Oh let me praise and thank you now because you rescued me from the power of darkness. Help me live a life that will be attracting to other unbelievers that you may use me as your servant and as a living testimony of your goodness to other people, In Jesus Name AMEN!
