“What injustice did your fathers find in Me, that they went far from Me and walked after emptiness and became empty?” Jeremiah 2:5.
Every fact is to be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses. 2 Corinthians 13:1.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
There are three things you need to watch carefully to have a good life. First, your love walk, second, your words, and third, your priorities and organization in your day. You would be wise to keep your eye on these things and be diligent about them. If weeds are pulled out of a garden the moment they start it is much easier to keep the garden lovely and in good order than to wait until they have grown so long that all the garden seems to be growing is weeds. Then it seems insurmountable to clear it, whereas before it was easy and light.
By your love walk, I mean essentially, are you walking in love in both your outward actions and your inward thoughts? Or are you mad and resentful of others most of the time? Especially those who have imposed themselves on you for your care. But also others at your workplace or any place. You find yourself with people everywhere you go and some of them can be quite difficult to please or get along with, and others just are flat out nasty, but others have really done nothing wrong except encroach on your time or schedule. Sometimes the frustration you take out on others is really with yourself. Do not give up on people and get ugly about them. You have to watch this kind of thing for people were always My Son’s priority. No matter what He had headed off to do, if a person in need came for help, He stopped and helped them. Think of the blind Bartimaeus on the road to Jericho, everyone was telling him to be quiet and not bother Jesus, but the minute Jesus heard his cry He called him over to Himself. And He listened to him with respect and He healed him according to his faith. My Son hears the cry of faith. In fact, He looks for it. Remember what He said, “When the Son of Man returns, will he find any faith on the earth?” And He often commented on the level of faith people had, from no faith, to little faith, all the way to great faith. But remember this, faith only works by love. You cannot operate in faith and hatred, fear, bitterness, and low self esteem at the same time. Faith requires love, peace and joy. Faith supplies peace and joy but it is enabled by love. Faith in the love I have for you. Faith that all My promises are “yes” to you in Jesus. Faith that I have already given you what you are seeking, you only need draw it out of the spiritual realm to the natural one. And you do that by your words. By your words you are acquitted and by your words you are condemned. And that is the next thing on My list of three to watch over carefully in your life, and that is your words. The words of your mouth frame your world.
So, what are you saying? Are you agreeing with Me or are you speaking stout against Me? Are you agreeing that you have healing as My gift to you in My Son or are you saying it does not work and you are not healed? You may have pain in your body right now, but you have healing in you, the healing power is in My Spirit and in My Word, and you can put it to use and have the promise it gives manifest in you if you will activate it by faith. If you will believe it, receive it and apply it you will see it manifest. But you can only have faith for what you see in My Word, but that is everything good and every perfect gift.
Words. They matter. You know they do. You remember the mean things people have said to you. You remember the things spoken over you. And your words are what put you into covenant with another if you are married. It was all activated by your words. And it is the same today. I created everything by speaking and so do you. You may think what you are saying really does not matter and does not determine things in your life, but it does. Death and life are in the power of your tongue. So speak the things that you want to see manifest. Be like Me and speak the end from the beginning. A future and a hope. You will find this gives you joy as you walk into the dream you have spoken. I do not want broken lives and lost dreams. I want to make you whole in My Son and give you dreams and visions by My Spirit to build My Kingdom on earth. And I want you to speak them out, plan them, and watch them come to pass as you walk with Me in love and watch your words. Make sure they match Mine because My Words have eternal life in them. Be so careful about this.
Be so careful to guard your heart. Be careful to keep yourself pure in My love. Do not swallow the devil’s bait and get pulled off your path—off the Highway of Holiness where he cannot walk. Isaiah 35:8-11. Keep a solid front with your brothers and sisters in Christ. Do not take offense. Keep salt in your heart.
And the third thing was prioritize and organize. I cannot emphasis enough how important it is to keep clutter out of your life. Keep focused. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who is My Word, the author and finisher of your faith. I am not a God of confusion, but of order. I made the universe and everything in it in a very orderly fashion and I keep it in order even now. I told different kings of Israel and Judah to get their houses in order. Usually I meant for them to stop serving unknown gods, that will get you into confusion and clutter because you cannot serve two masters.
I told Jeremiah that the people of Israel had committed two evils that had caused them to get out of the glory in which they had walked and had made them prey to their enemies. First, they had forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and second, they had hewn for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that held no water. Jeremiah 2:13. And I asked, “What injustice did your fathers find in Me that they went far from Me and walked after emptiness and became empt?” Jeremiah 2:4-5.
Turn your house into a house of praise—My dwelling place. Fill your house with My glory and make it a house of God and a gate of Heaven. Let everyone who enters and everyone who dwells there feel an atmosphere of light and love in your place of abode. A sanctuary, a tabernacle of praise. Raise up again the fallen sukkot of David and enthrone Me on your praises. You will find that praise will heal, strengthen, and raise you up for when you sing with Me your joy becomes full, and My joy is your strength and in My light you see light.
It is time for you to stop being lazy about it and put diligence in with your faith. You don’t win a game by sitting on the sidelines. Selah. Stop sitting around in your home gossiping or bringing up bad memories with your family. Put up the banner of love and start the praises. There was a reason I told the Israelites to write My Words on the doorposts of their homes and to speak them when they rose in the morning, as they went along the way, as they relaxed in their homes, and when they lay down at night. And I told them to speak of them constantly to their children. If you have been wondering why there is so much stress, division, ill will, and rebellion in your home, take another look at what is going on. When the praise goes up, then the walls come down. Just ask Joshua.
I love you. It is time for you to stop where you are and make all things new in Me. Three things. Remember what they are, for those three things are the three witnesses that establish your life before Me and before men.
If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in reverence and holiness during the time of your stay on earth; knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. 1 Peter 1:17-19.
