  • SUICIDE THOUGHTS - In Reply on Isaiah 55 - 4 years ago
    If you're not Christian, you will go to hell. There is no escape.

    What you do as a Christian can cut off any plans the Lord had purposed for your life.

    Psalms 39:4

    LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

    JEREMIAH 29:11-13

    For I know the thoughts that I think TOWARD YOU, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an EXPECTED end.

    Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will HEARKEN unto you.

    And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

    Almost every trauma in our life, is temporary. If you will draw close to God again, ask Him to dim the memories that hurt so much. I did that, expecting nothing, but God did that for me. The pain is gone. Be brave and ask Him to dim what hurts.

    If we commit suicide as Christians we stop the thoughts God had planned for us. Don't take your life. Give it to Jesus. Allow Him to give you a new purpose.

    If you are bitterly lonely, get involved in life again. I find nursing homes a wonderful place to bring my joy to. I sit and read happy Psalms to people. After a few weeks, I ask them if they want to go with Jesus to their heavenly home. Some say yes. Some are already saved, but we pray for the Lords comfort. The Holy Spirit comes to do his work on their lives.

    You go home feeling a little tired, but very blessed. Sometimes I buy greeting cards they can put by their bed.

    God will heal your memories, but first you have to give them to Him. Forever.

    Mishael

    So the messengers King Zedekiah sent read Jeremiah's letter?

    My understanding of this chapter:

    Jeremiah tells the captives to build houses and grow gardens and eat the fruits there of to learn peace with God. They will be released from captivity and return to Judah.

    False prophet Shemaiah says God will have them be new priest and officers. They will in-prison those who call themselves prophets. The Lord will punish Shemaiah and his seed for this.

    God is so good to me and He blesses those around me. I love our creator and the amazing miracles he performs in my life and in the lives of my loved ones. We all go through trials and trubulations and He is ALWAYS there. He NEVER gives up on us. Jesus, my savior;God my father. My hope is in Him, my life is His. Thank you Yahweh. You are my anchor, my rock and on the solid rock I stand.

    Hello Lyn.

    Read all of Psalm 91 and Jeremiah 29:11. These promises are to all those who put there faith and hope in God.

    Also, the vaccine are not of God. On my local news station, a medical physician stated that there are particles of the corkna virus in the vaccine itself, just like the H1N1 shot for Influenza. The Johnson and Johnson shot had to put on pause due to multiple reports of patients developing blood clots.

    Luke 8:43-44 quotes, "And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched."

    Jesus is the Great Physician, not man!

    There have been reports on the news that one dose of the vaccine is no guarantee an individual may still not contract the virus. There have been multiple reports that they may have administer three phrases of the covid-19 vaccine, meaning that one shot will not be enough, and even after the third trial of shots will still not promise any results from contracting covid. This is complete medical sorcery at it's highest form.

    This verse below talks about the fall of Babulon.

    Revelation 18:23 quotes, "And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

    The word sorceress in the Greek comes from the Greek word pharmakea, far-mak-i'-ah; from G5332; medication ("pharmacy"), i.e. (by extension) magic (literally or figuratively):-sorcery, witchcraft.

    Stongs concordance number G5332 comes from the Greek word pharmakes, far-mak-yoos'; from phrmakon (a drug, i.e. spell-giving potion); a druggist ("pharmacist") or poisoner, i.e. (by extension) a magician:-sorcerer.

    The vaccines are medical sorcery! God's advice is not to take it!

    Simon ,thanks so much for that ,you cheered me up and gave me a kick in the right direction ! I needed it ! Thanks again .
  • Simon - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Sacha,

    Everyone dislikes theirpredicaments, the constant competition. We've been on trial our whole lives.

    Whatever the jam, it doesn'tmatter to Jesus, except believing He was the son of God who died on the cross for yoursins, and perhaps Matthew 22:36-40, the 2 highest commandments tolive by.

    All along the trail people will nick your gelt, half inch you, surpriseyou with a short sharp shock. Always wear the armour. Show me a saint with an internet connection, and I'll show you a sinner with dereliction.

    Jesus searches theheart to identify family members, He won't have any trouble findingyou.

    Prayer Requests

    I received Jesus as Lord and Savior, at home.

    This is my comment: your beating heart is the Throne that was always meant to belong to the Lord, Jesus. Sometimes when our walk with him gets difficult, or we sin again,

    It's usually because we put ourselves back on that Throne for a moment or until we realize it. Ask for forgiveness and put Jesus back onto the throne of your heart. Read 1 John 1:9

    Start reading about who Jesus is, what he likes and dislikes; how he responded to questions people asked him, what he did, where he went; how and when he prayed, what he prayed for. He is how we are to conform our behaviors to, now.

    I think it is helpful to move next to: 1 John, 2 John and 3 John (near the back of the Bible) next.

    For wisdom: Proverbs

    For comfort & learn what God is like: Psalms

    It's helpful to read 2-3 chapters a day. It's easier to follow stories and movement that way.

    Learn how to use the SEARCH box on this website to access the search engine that will answer many of your questions and curiosity's.

    The Gospel, is the virgin birth of Jesus, his life, his death on the cross for our sins; and his resurrection from the grave.

    At Pentecost, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to all believers, to be their Teacher, Comforter, convicted when we fall in a ditch, and many more things He helps us with.

    May the Lord guide you in your walk with him. Come back here often and we help all that we can.

    Corey,

    Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

    That's a promise. You call out to Him and cry out to Him for mercy and to save you, and He will do it, period!

    John 1:12 says, "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"

    Personally, I like to use the word receive instead of accept, as it says in John 1:12. To accept just means to mentally agree with what Christ did for you. A person must receive Jesus Christ!
  • Corey Smith on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Where do it tell how to accept Jesus Christ as your savior?
  • Sach - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Oh Lisa ,God loves you and your honesty sooo much ! Its a blessing to not be afraid of confessing ,you are showing your faith in Gods mercy and in Christ awesome work on our behalf ,your a star !
  • Sacha - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Jesse ,thanks so much for that ,you brought tears to my eyes ,the heart is deceitfull above all things and is desperately wicked ,who can know it ? We must try to know our own heart and recognise our own deceits ,we can fool each other ,we can fool ourselves but we cannot ever fool God ,he knows our end from our begining ,we all are as open books to him ,we must never forget exactly what we are ,i wont say what i know i am but its definately not good ,its a daily battle that we cant ever totally win but we musnt stop trying ,Christ has redeemed us and we are His but He does want us to be as much like Him as we possibly can ,the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak ,thanks again for your encouragement . Much love in Christ .
  • Sacha - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Thankyou Unlocked ,you are right ,i think i need to focus more on keeping myself seperate ,i thought i was getting good at it but i realise now that especially during this last year of lockdown i have been turning to a few old wordly habits to comfort me and distract me from my worries , this isnt good ,i need to get back on the straight and narrow and your post has helped me see this ,i got into the habit of turning the t.v. on during the day ,thats stopping now ! I started going on a female social media site for some girl company but there arent too many Christians on it thats for sure ! Thats stops right now ,thankyou again ,i needed your insightfull imput and you have helped clear my mind on a few things more i need to do ,may God continue to bless you .
  • Lisa - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Thank you Jesse for your honesty as well.

    I so agree with you that after we are born again and saved by the Atoning Blood of Jesus all sins are wiped away and then when God looks upon us he sees Jesus in us. I too think about that day of the Lord and remember how the Lord told us every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that JESUS IS LORD! What a fearful day for the wicked but a glorious day for the Saints.

    May God bless you as well, especially in these dark days we are in. Our faith will be tried like we have never experienced before and Jesus will carry us all through the storm. Stay faithful and do not fear and cave to the worlds demands. Fear God only not man.
  • Unlocked - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Our sins are as the East is from the west . Jesus put them away . We should not be concerned about them . God forgives and forgets . And if there is any sin undelt with it needs to be confessed and put away so we can have peace and go on .

    When Christ appears this corruption shall put on incorruption , we shall be changed .

    We will see Jesus without sin . Our hope is to see him but certainly not in our sins .

    When I see him I shall be changed to be like him , I shall love his appearing .

    If sin was a problem I would dread meeting him .

    But Jesus nailed it to his cross and rose from the dead and gives life to those that believe on his work .

    Paul said reckon your self dead to sin and alive unto God . It's by the cross of Christ we can do this . The power of the cross is real . I have overcome many things more powerful than me by trusting in the cross as much as needed to over come the problem .

    Paul said the Cross is to us the power of God .
  • Unlocked - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    I read what you said about you struggles with your sinful self .

    Yes it's real and you are honest , but you are living a defeated experience, I have a few tips for you , you may consider too help you overcome . I have found very helpful .

    Study what separation from sin is . Where you go who you talk to , what you watch , you must not participate with it or it will defile you . God gets no pleasure in a defiled person . He hopes people will be separated unto him .

    You rarely would hear about this in a church , they do not understand it . Pure religion according to James chapter 1 is to keep your self unspotted from the world . Psalm 1 also talks about this and 1 Corinthians talks about separation from dis honorable vessels in a church setting .

    I hope you get the message , you must be clean from sin as much as possible to have a good relationship with God .

    Our temple must be holy for the lord .

    The word of God cleans us as we meditate on it . So we need it often . Also touching other defiled people or agreeing with errors etc can defile us .

    You can not compromise truth .

    If you spend time studying true separation you will have more desire and success with The Lord . Staying out of sin will make it easier to find the faithful life . Can't do both .

    Gods blessings to you and all that seek to over come .
  • Jesse - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Lisa and Sacha,

    I just wanted to say that both your testimonies are a perfect example of humbleness and what it means to be in submission to Christ.

    Oftentimes we let our human pride get in the way and don't want to admit that we are broken vessels in need of mending.

    Even Paul struggled between his flesh and the Spirit of Christ in him, saying that there was nothing good in his flesh.

    But no matter what our past was, Christ forgave us for it. Our sins were nailed to the cross with Him.

    For myself, I truly believe that when I stand before God, I'm going to know that I don't deserve to be there. All my sins are going to be laid out in front of me, and in my case it's probably going to be volumes. What am I going to say? What can we say when we're standing before holiness?

    When we stand before God, He's not going to see any good in us. But what He will see is His Son in us. He's going to see Jesus Christ in us, the one who justified us (Declared us not guilty) the one who sanctified us, and that's how we enter into His presence.

    I think we all can learn from your testimony. I believe the Lord wants those who are willing to confess to Him that they are broken and in need of mending, the person who gets up every morning and says "Lord, I can't do this without you!"

    That should be our confession to our Lord and Savior.

    Thank you both for reminding me that I oftentimes forget what it means to humble myself before the Lord.

    God Bless you both!
  • Lisa - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Hello Sacha,

    Thank you for response. I agree with you as well, it is a struggle with our flesh/heart and the only comfort I have is God tells us our flesh and Spirit will battle until we leave this world. The slip ups are so hard on me but Gods grace helps me end my day with his forgiveness and start the next day a new. Hang in there and I will Pray for you :-)
  • Sacha - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    Lisa ,thankyou so much for your honesty ,i too hate myself and my sinfullness and my cold and selfish heart ,there is no good in me ,i fight my own desires every day ,some times i win some times i loose ,the only thing i take comfort in is the one thing thats shames me most ,God reeeally knows me ,every evil lustfull wordly thought and desire He knows them all and He knows my vileness and HE STILL CARES FOR ME AND ABOUT ME ! God is LOVE and i am evil .
  • Lisa on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    According to Gods word we are to seek him and only him with all our hearts. We were created to Love and Worship GOD only, not ourselves! Todays churches teach the Joel Osteen way of love yourself, accept yourself, be yourself etc.this is of satan and why our nation is a huge mess right now because of all the self love and the nurturing of this self love. Self love points to us and not GOD! Satan loved the beauty of who he was and pride entered his heart and he challenged his own creator, sounds familiar doesn't it, it is exactly what man kind has done throughout history and even more so today. There is nothing I love about myself and my sin nature that separated me from GOD. Then GOD showed me his only begotten Son Jesus the Christ and made a way for me to be born again and made new in Jesus Christ. So now I know I am different and do not belong in this current world and I do my best (though I mess up often)to Worship and spend alone time with my GOD. So my testimony is thisI was an adulterous, murdering(abortion), lying, thieving jezebel that desperately needed a Savior and Jesus is my Savior. So as Jeremiah says "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jesus is my expected end and everyday I work out my own Salvation with fear and trembling...

    Hello. I (used to) know how you feel. it's a terrible feeling to feel alone BUT that is a lie from your enemy. YOU are not alone, the LORD is with you! The WORD reads, "where can you go from HIS presence?" IF you ascend into heaven HE is there. if you make your bed in hell, HE is there. PSALM 139:7. JOHN 16:33 HE is with you!! Be encouraged my friend!!! Read the WORD out loud, faith cometh by hearing and hearing the WORD of GOD. Romans 10:17. Talk to GOD like you would talk to someone face to face. HE loves you and wants you to fulfill the plan HE has for your life!!! HE has a wonderful and beautiful plan for your life! Jeremiah 29:11!!!
  • LACEy on Matthew 1:1 - 5 years ago
    I feel like i have a lot in common with Jesus. A lot of similarities. Does the Bible ever mention about Jesus having any romantic relationship? Or even a desire to have a romantic relationship? I've always felt different. I've never desired any romantic relationship. But I've always loved to take care of animals. Jesus loves to take care of us. I've had jobs working with animals. Then i started to see the Bible verse : Jeremiah 29:11. I thought that was god 's way of telling me that his plan for my life was to have a lifelong career working with animals. But those jobs did not last as long as I'd hoped. It felt like a peice of myself was missing. Then during this corona virus i started to write in my journal about my personal experiences. Through the process, i realized that i was answering a lot of questions I've had about myself all my life. Finally i understood me & i realized that maybe this was god's plan for me all along. His plan was for me to seek out personal information about myself. It reminds me of another Bible verse : Matthew 7:7. And that's exactly what is been doing. I was seeking out information to understand what makes me different. I was asking personal questions about myself because I'd rather understand, instead of doubt & the door was opened wide for me to see the answers to those questions. My prayer is that my story can help anyone else who feels different. Its OK to be different no matter what & it's healthy to accept yourself!
  • LACEy on Jeremiah 29:11 - 5 years ago
    I'vealways felt different. I never was attracted to anyone in a romantic way. Not ever. But i have always loved taking care of animals. I had jobs working with animals. Then i started seeing Jeremiah 29:11 everywhere. I thought it was god's way of telling me that his plans for my life were to have a long-term career working with animals. But those jobs did not last as long as I'd hoped. So now, during this corona virus pandemic, i have been writing in my journal about my own personal memories. Through this process I've uncovered some things about myself that I've always wondered about. Now i realize that this was god's plan for me all along. His plan was for me to find the personal information about my life. Another Bible verse comes to mind. Matthew 7:7. And that's exactly what I'd been doing. I was seeking out information about myself. I was asking myself & god questions about what makes me so different. And suddenly the door was opened wide for me to see the answers to these personal questions I've had about myself. All my life I've wondered & now i have my answers. My prayer is that my story can help someone else who may be feeling different. It's OK to be different no matter what! And it's healthy to accept yourself.

    Carleton,

    Almonds, walnuts and rice: sign me up! However, there are more Californians coming to Texas than Texans migrating to California.

    I've spent several months in your great state over the years at Mare Island and Edwards Air Force Base on assignment. Even called some Little League tournament games in Lancaster several decades ago.

    So do you have any thoughts on how The Holy Spirit leads your interpretation on Jeremiah 29:11?
  • Shaira - In Reply on 1 Peter 5 - 5 years ago
    Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

    i feel like that sometimes too, we shouldn"t let our feelings be God, have faith, hes always there ! he will never forsake u, sometimes we go through hard things bc our faith is being tested.

  • Peggy - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    The day of the Lord is a very specific day of destruction from the Almighty; Judgment day for the people of earth. It is not an everyday occurrence: Mystery Babylon and the entire Babylonian system comes down in under one hour. The day of the Lord is synonymous with the 6th trumpet strike: Isaiah 13, Isaiah 47, Ez 21:1-24, Ez 38:1-17, Jer 50, Jer 51 and Rev 18. It is Jesus who comes like a thief on HIS day named for HIM to lay the land desolate. The spoiler at noonday (anti-christ) Jer 15:8 places the abomination of desolation that obliterates both corrupt houses of Israel to dust. America by fire, and Israel by invasion/captivity as they reap Jacob's 6th trumpet time of trouble.
  • Peggy - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    The 6th trumpet changes the world with much violence. 'Jesus thief' and his northern army will cover Mystery Babylon like a cloud. America to desolation, Israel to captivity, both taken in the self-same hour. 1) Obadiah saw it coming, he saw Esau (Russian confederacy) destroy Jacob (US, Israel), whole. 2) Dan 11:40 The king of the north (Russia) destroys the king of the south (US, Israel). 3) Rev 17 & Rev 18 the beast plans, then destroys Babylon. These 3 depictions do the prophets use to signify the day of the Lord strike, and no one describes the missiles any better than Joel 2:1-11. It's not a standing army, but hundreds of 200 mega ton warheads.
  • Charles R Peek - In Reply on Jeremiah 29 - 5 years ago
    The "Day of the Lord" is the Great Tribulation.
