'Behold I will gather them from out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely. They shall be my people and I will be their God. Then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will...

Therefore, thus says the the LORD:  'Behold I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it. And the Chaldeans who fight against this city shall come and set fire to this city and burn it, with houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger Jeremiah 32: 26-29, NKJV. Heavenly Father, how grateful we are that there are always two sides to Your messages, and they always end in love. May...

"Now when I had delivered the the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying:  'Ah LORD God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.  .  ." Jeremiah 32: 16, 17, NKJV. Great God, how blessed we are that even when our faith is not as firm as it should be, You will honor our obedience and answer our prayers. In the matchless name of Jesus Christ we say "Thank You." Amen. You will notice that it was...

Look, the siege mounds! They have come to the city to take it; and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword and famine and pestilence. What You have spoken has happened; there You see it! And You have said to me, O LORD God, "Buy the field for money, and take witnesses"!-yet the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.' " Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too...

Then Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, "'Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin;  .  .  . then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. So I bought the field from Hanamel the son of my uncle who was in Anathoth" Jeremiah 32: 8a, 9a, NKJV. Dear God of our Salvation, please give us the faith that we need to take You at Your Word, and just do what You tell us...

I thank God-through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God .  .  ." (Romans 7: a,b). I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4: 13, NKJV. Gracious God, please convince us that with You in our lives - living in, and working with, and through us, taking full control of our minds, we can be "more than conquerors." In the mighty name of Jesus the Christ we humbly pray. Amen. I found a rather short, but what I considered complete, definition of the word invincible, that I liked and will share...

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12: 1-3, NKJV. Dear God, how we long to master the lesson of keeping our eyes on You, so please teach...

And the LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. . ." Genesis 14: 15.  Dear God of our salvation. Please enable our hearts to hear Your voice, and to be obedient to Your leading. In the precious name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. Yesterday I shared some of the lessons I have learned from the stoplights that I pass when I am out walking. That message was entitled Press and Wait. Today our message is entitled Press and Go. The first week or so of walking I was in training. God was teaching...

But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40: 31, NKJV. One of the interesting experiences in my walks with God is learning the lessons He has been teaching me with the stop lights. I have entitled these messages:  Press and Wait, and, Press and Go. Today we will talk about pressing and waiting. Some of the stoplights are pedestrian friendly - as soon as you press them, they turn to "Walk;" while others, you have to...

And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Genesis 5: 24, NKJV. Dear God as we look to You today for a closer walk, may we hear Your voice and heed it. This is our prayer in the holy name of Jesus the Christ. Amen. This was my second week. I was accustomed to the distance I was walking because for quite a while this had been my route, until, like on other occasions, something had happened that had interrupted my walking, and I had simply given up. This time, however, I was determined to continue with my program. I knew...
