Has a nation changed gods When they were not gods? But My people have changed their glory For that which does not profit. Jeremiah 2:11

Israel has forgotten everything God has done for them during the Exodus, he provided them “Heavenly Manna” and “Living Water” in the desert when they had nothing. He kept them all from harm and getting ill, he even kept their clothes from wearing out. He fulfilled his promise of delivering them to the Promise Land (Israel) yet they total forgot

Israel began worshipping false idols and gods, they began practicing abominations and sorcery. What could these false gods provide for them that the true living God (Yahweh) hasn’t provided? As God says “they changed their glory for that which does not profit”!

How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 10:29

Fast forward to Jesus and his Bride (Church) Have You forgotten everything Christ has done for You at the Cross? Yet we continue to live in the world , worship our false idols (musicians, actors, athletes), we make money our new god, we have trampled on the blood of Christ.

Just like Israel forgot what God did for them, don’t forget what God has done for You through Jesus Christ! Don’t insult the Holy Spirit by following Sin, flee from Evil and Satan, surrender to our Lord and God Jesus Amen!

They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:19

God called Jeremiah to preach to the people, but notice God didn’t say this was going to easy, God didn’t say this was going to be fun. God said “They will fight against You”. Notice God is not promising any prosperity for Jeremiah. God is telling Jeremiah get ready your going to be persecuted

However God makes a great promise “They will not overcome You”. Even though our task or battle may seem hopeless or scary, God is not going to allow us to be defeated! If its Gods will, then he will see it through. If we go and do our own will, then that’s a different story

You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. Mark 13:13

Jesus taught us the same thing, Everyone will hate us because of the name of Jesus. If you ever went out to talked or preached the gospel , you are going to face strong resistance. The world is Anti-Christ, the world has an agenda, the world doesn’t want anyone to be saved. So despite the resistance we must still preach the gospel so everyone has the opportunity to come to Christ

Notice Jesus promise to us “Those who endure will be Saved”  So even if your journey is difficult right now, even if your being persecuted Endure in Jesus Name Amen!

And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. John 12:23

There are many people and groups who identify themselves as Christians, yet they refuse to worship Jesus Christ. They have no problem accepting his atoning blood on the cross for their sins, but when it comes to glorifying and worshiping him, they refuse. Let me tell you, if you refuse to worship Christ you are not a Christian, therefor your not saved or born again

The Greeks have come to Jerusalem to meet Jesus, they came to worship him. Jesus didn’t deny them instead he said “The hour has come to glorify the Son of Man (Christ)” Jesus was prophesying about his own crucifixion , which would be the atoning sacrifice for our sins

“He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. John 12:25

But it will cost you a price, you must lose your old life to gain your new eternal life. You must repent and give up your sins, you must give up your love for this world, and become a new creation. You cant be Born Again if your still living in the same old sin. Your life was bought with the blood of Jesus Christ

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. John 12:26

If you want to get to God the Father, you must go through God the Son. Often people try to bypass the Son and go straight to the Father, you are not worthy to stand before the Father. Only by the blood of Jesus Christ, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, can you stand in the presence of the Father

Jesus said Nobody comes to the Father except through Me (Christ) The hour has come, worship in Jesus name Amen!

“If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” John 11:48

The religious leaders were perplexed with Jesus. If they continue to allow him to teach the truth about God and demonstrate the miracles and powers of God, nobody will follow their religion anymore. If nobody follows their religion anymore, then they will all lose their positions and big salaries.

Think about this, this is exactly why they rejected Christ. It wasn’t about truth or seeking God, it was about money and power. This is exactly what religion is still about today, money and power. “Modern Day Pharisees” are denying the Word of God to please the culture of society today. Its not about serving Jesus its about power and money. Its all about feeding the religious machine of human greed

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. Matthew 16:24

Jesus message is pretty clear “Get over yourself!” The religious leaders greatest failure is they couldn’t get over themselves to believe in Christ. They loved their power, they loved their money, their loved their sin, they loved themselves! Jesus isn’t interested in feeding your ego or wallet, he came to give you salvation. You must deny yourself first, repent, and accept Jesus Christ as Lord.

Don’t be a Modern Day Pharisee who decided it was better to kill the Son of God then repent of their sins. Jesus is offering you salvation, humble yourself and come to Christ Amen!

“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind. Isaiah 65:17

Everyone wants to get to “Heaven” but does anyone even know where they are going? Many people have this thought they are going to float around on clouds and play harps….but none of this is in the Bible! In fact the Bible tells us our final destination is Earth, a New Heavens and Earth!

Think about it, in the beginning when everything was perfect, there was no death or sin, where did Adam and Eve live? On Earth, the Earth was made specifically for us, however because of our disobedience and sin, we allowed the curse of death to enter this current Earth, which is why its not currently Paradise anymore

“They will not labor in vain, Or bear children for calamity; For they are the offspring of those blessed by the LORD, And their descendants with them. Isaiah 65:23

God promises we will be reunited with our loved ones (descendants) forever in his Kingdom, right here on Earth! No longer will we struggle and suffer to provide for our family either, just as God provided for Adam and Eve, he will provide for us also

“The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain,” says the LORD. Isaiah 65:25

There will be no more death, no more evil, no more sorrow, and no more SIN. The wolf and lamb will graze together, meaning total peace here on Earth!

And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, Revelation 21:3

Jesus reveals a lot more of the new Heavens and Earth in Revelation 21. God will live among us, Jesus will sit on his throne and rule as King of Kings. Heaven is coming down to Earth! What a wonderful day it will be when Gods Kingdom is restored Amen!
