Lamentations 1-2, Proverbs 12:1-15, Ephesians 1

What God said to me – The people in the world you live in have become masters at changing the narrative in order to pursue their sin without a guilty conscience.  Lifestyles are no longer sinful – they are alternate.  Truth is no longer truth – it is my truth and your truth and whatever you do is acceptable as long as you are living your “truth”.  You grieve as you see your loved ones falling for the lies and into the enemy’s trap.  There comes a point when there is nothing you can do but cling to Me and the promise that “I AM” at work in the lives of those who are Mine to bring them to repentance and total trust in Me.  Praying and waiting sound so simple and I know how difficult it can be when you see no sign of remorse or repentance.  Just as with Israel so I will do what I have purposed for all of My children, and I will accomplish My word and carry out My plan for your good and My glory.

Jeremiah 52, Proverbs 11:16-31, Ephesians 1

What God said to me – In a world that promotes self-esteem as all important you must realize that it’s My esteem that makes a difference in a person’s life and is what is important.  You as My child are highly favored.  You are deeply loved.  I chose you to be My child before the foundation of the world – let that sink in when you begin to question your worth.  I didn’t just choose you to know Me – I chose you to adopt as My child and with all the benefits that entails.  I redeemed you and forgave you in the process and have given you an inheritance that is beyond anything you can think or imagine.  I have sealed you with My Spirit so nothing can take you out of My hand.  As you walk with Me, I will give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Me so that you will know and understand the hope of your calling and the riches of the glory of your inheritance.

Jeremiah 51, Proverbs 11:1-16, 1 John 4:15-21 to 5

What God said to me – I have testified to the world the truth of who “I AM” and My testimony is true.  I have testified through the birth and life and death and resurrection of My Son that “I AM” the Savior of the world.  I have testified by My Spirit who convicts the world of sin and righteousness and judgment that “I AM” Holy God.  I have testified through creation that “I AM” Almighty God.  My testimony has been clear so people are without excuse.  They either believe My testimony or they reject it – it’s as simple as that.  Those who reject My testimony in essence are calling Me, Holy God, a liar when in truth they are falling for the lies of the evil one who is a liar by nature.  As dark and hopeless as this sounds, don’t forget that when I called you to be My child, you saw through the lies of the evil one and believed My testimony of who “I AM” and what I did for you.  So, take heart and know that I will save all those who are Mine.
