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
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
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
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
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
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 […]

Israel will come back to her land
Ezekiel 36:24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. God has special promises for the nation of Israel. She will come back to her land. God will take her from among all the other nations and countries. He […]

Pride made Satan
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
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
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 […]

It is happening
Ezekiel 12:25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. God often is patient with His people and […]
Don’t be afraid of their faces
Ezekiel 2:6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. As the young preacher stands to […]

Cry out in prayer
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 […]
Judgment is coming
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
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
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?
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
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
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 […]
Home made gods
Jeremiah 2:28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. God’s people were in trouble. They needed help. When they call on God, He reminds them […]

Rebelling against the Holy Spirit
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 […]
It pleased the Father
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. Jesus death on the cross is an excellent […]

Heart problems cause head problems
Isaiah 32:6 For the vile person will speak villany, And his heart will work iniquity, To practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, To make empty the soul of the hungry, And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. The vile person, this fool, speaks wicked, stupid, rebellious sin. He […]
Hunger for the Word
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. They told the preachers not to preach. They ask for nice, smooth, messages. They preferred to hear a lie […]
Thank you letter from Sam Wilson
Listen, stay sensitive
Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, When ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. We do not need to be knocked in the head to know God’s will. He will speak to us quietly. He […]
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 […]
The earth covered with knowledge of God
Isaiah 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; Their young ones shall lie down together: And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, And the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. 9 They shall not […]

We had special music performed by Jessyca McKinnon, Courtney Mize, Tyler Ellis, Tracy Paver, David Burkhart, and Stephen Cofield. We had several missionary updates from our […]
What is the big deal about people?
Isaiah 2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: For wherein is he to be accounted of? Stop looking to men. What are men or women that you should look up to them so much? They are going to die. They are not eternal. God is eternal and trustworthy. Isaiah says you […]
True Love is Sensitive
Song of Solomon 8:4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please. Think about how the one you love is feeling. Let him get all the sleep that he wants. Be quiet. Do not disturb him. This is a pretty picture of a woman’s […]
Together
Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they […]
