Let nothing steal your heart, please don’t give your heart away.
We must return to our first love, completely, whole heartedly…
Return to me says the Lord and I will heal your land. Outside of me your land will be desolate, you will be a wanderer.
1. You will move about without a fixed course, aim, or goal
2. You will go idly about : RAMBLE
wandering around the house
3. You will follow a winding course : MEANDER
4. You will go astray (as from a course) : STRAY
wandered away from the group
5. You will go astray morally :
6. You will lose normal mental contact : stray in thought
I wilt show you the path of life: in my presence is fulness of joy; at my right hand there are pleasures for evermore. In this world you will have trials and tribulations, but be of good cheer I have over come the world. This is my promise to you when you are in me and I am in you you will overcome! I will lead you and order your steps to the path of life which is only found in me says the Lord
My heart hurts for my people has turned to seek other gods, selfish ambitions, and proceeds with unrighteous acts. But I am God, says the Lord. For I am Holy and Truth. I will not have any other gods before me for I am a jealous God.
Who can withstand my wrath In the day of judgement. Who can rightfully say to Him who has created thee “why did you make me this”
Why do you provoke me?
I love you with an everlasting love, but I am God, I am clean, I am pure, I am completely separate from this world.
Offer to me what I have made and that is your body. Offer your body a living sacrifice to me Holy and Pleasing which is your reasonable service.
Repent and return to your first love 🙌 in Jesus name amen
Into my hand commit thy spirit. For I am He who has redeemed you. I Am the Lord God of Truth
“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”
“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”“if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”
The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. REPENT...
Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant of His grace and mercy, and we humble ourselves to receive it, we will be as Sodom, and we will be like unto Gomorrah.
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: and I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.”
“God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.”
Let their habitation be desolate; And let none dwell in their tents.
A man who wanders from the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the dead.
incline your ear and humble your heart to receive what comes out of my mouth next in Jesus name amen
My desire is to bring you to this place of life in Christ:
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;
There is no God besides Me.
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. in Jesus name amen
Hear my speech says the Lord so your soul can be delivered and live. Your flesh will be offended, because it does not want to die. But the requirement to follow Christ which is the only access to me and to life is to deny yourself, take up your cross, and bear it. It is to crucify your flesh with its affections and lust. It is to lose your life to gain life in Christ. The flesh will never be able to hear that which was made of Spirit and Truth. So, if you want me you must be willing to die to yourself completely.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Carnality and flesh cannot stand in the presence of God it must bow or you'll be standing alone.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”
May the sincerity of our hearts and Love to and for the Father cause us to repent, humble ourselves, pursue the Lord with a spirit of meekness and declare out of our mouths "Into thine hand I commit my spirit, thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth and as for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness" In Jesus name amen
One key thing I'd like to leave us with... This is not our doing, but the work of Holy Spirit inside of us. We cannot do it; our strength will always fail us. But, when we say, Lord here I am, I am weak and helpless in me to do thy will and to submit to your way, but my heart long to please you, and to serve you and to honor you, and to obey you I surrender. We are inviting the Lord in and offering ourselves unto Him and He will then do the work to bring us into all we are in Him. It is the work of the Spirit of the Living Word of God and not that of ourselves. In Jesus name amen!
