He reveals His Secrets

April 30, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, But he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. God showed His prophets what He was going to do. We have His revelation of what He would do. You do not have to guess or speculate about what God would do. He tells us. Actually, […]

Winning her back

April 29, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, And bring her into the wilderness, And speak comfortably unto her. 15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, And the valley of Achor for a door of hope: And she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, And as in the […]

Shame and contempt

April 28, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. We are all going to die. We are all going to awake. You will not cease to exist. You will exist from now till forever. Some will die […]

Not about me

April 27, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Daniel 2:30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart. I love the way Daniel speaks to the king. […]

Challenge for good government

April 26, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Ezekiel 45:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD. These verses obviously were a challenge for good government in Israel. I think, however, that it would work in any […]

They will know it is God doing it

April 25, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Ezekiel 37:28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. God has big plans for Israel. Israel is relatively powerless in the scope of world powers, but God will do big things with them. He will build His temple […]

Pride made Satan

April 23, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Ezekiel 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Most Bible students believe these verses refer to the origin of Satan. He was lifted up […]

Loving God more than anything or anyone

April 22, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Ezekiel 24:18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded. Ezekiel’s wife died. He had preached that morning. He continued doing the Lord’s work even the next day. He didn’t let anything hinder him from doing what he […]

No pleasure in the death of the wicked

April 21, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? God doesn’t want anyone to die or to be destroyed. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. He wants to see them return to […]

Lamentations 2:19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches Pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, That faint for hunger in the top of every street. God’s people ought to be crying […]

Jeremiah 50:31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, Saith the Lord GOD of hosts: For thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. It is only a matter of time. God will not allow you to live in your pride and rebellion. You cannot escape the consequences of your […]

Wrong way leads to destruction

April 16, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Jeremiah 44:22 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. There is no way you can continue to do wrong […]

Consequences

April 15, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Jeremiah 32:23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them: God had been kind to His people. He had brought them into […]

Are you sure?

April 14, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Jeremiah 30:22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. God’s people had walked away. They had worshipped false gods, idols. They did not love Him, and He was not happy with them. He promised that a day was coming when He would be their God once again. They would be […]

False Prophets

April 13, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Jeremiah 23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. There are preachers, prophets, and priests who are preaching everywhere that God didn’t send. God never spoke to them. God never sent them. They are fakes. They are self-sent, or demon delivered. As hard as […]

Signs in the Skies

April 12, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, And be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; For the heathen are dismayed at them. Often lost people study the stars to find their destiny. They think that their planets and stars can align just right. That is what those that […]

Rebelling against the Holy Spirit

April 10, 2018 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Isaiah 63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: Therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. God’s people rebelled against and troubled the Holy Spirit. God became their enemy because they chose to be His. He fought against them because of their stubbornness. You can resist the Holy […]

Isaiah 30:9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, Children that will not hear the law of the LORD: God said the people were rebellious. They did whatever they could not to hear the truth.

Trouble may bring you to Jesus

Isaiah 26:16 LORD, In trouble have they visited thee, They poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. People are so funny. They often will not seek God unless they are in trouble. They need to be at a breaking point. They need to be in a crisis in their lives. Isaiah says […]
