Blessings to all this day!  Dreary foggy day again here in Texas hope it is bright and sunny where you are.  Today's Bible message comes to us once again from Jeremiah, but first I would like to talk briefly on a few things.  These topics came to me while sitting in church today. 
Firstly, "Give and you shall receive"  This is one of the many things in the Bible that was possibly reworded from its original intent.  It is easily misinterpreted and misused.  Give something so that you can get something in return.  Or if there is something you want then well just give something so that you can get what you wanted.  This is prostitution basically when you think about it.  Having come from Las Vegas where this saying is the mantra of the populous.  Think hard on what is being said on the surface of this saying...it is the opposite of who GOD is. 
GOD gave to each of us everything already, upfront, in the beginning and continues to do so.  Oh and He gave/gives it all unconditionally without and expectation of a return, and trust me mankind has not given back very much. He gave His Son to us as a sacrifice.   All He would like is for us to believe in Him, love Him, praise Him, thank Him.  He needs nothing from us for He made everything.  Certainly does not need anything we made.  So again this ties into what He said about letting Him transform the way you think.  Like forgiveness, which He gave us before our sin so too He gave all, we received all so now give back to Him of your own FREE will. 
Secondly, I had mentioned before that the Christ has been here more than once.  We are given this evidence in the Bible in John 1:30...where John the Baptist says, "This is He of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, for He WAS before me'."   This can be taken two ways, knowing that in the physical world He came after John in birth.  Like everything in the Bible and with GOD you have to not think in physical but in spiritual for GOD IS SPIRIT!  One...He whose spirit, soul, essence was created before mankind's.  Two, He whose spirit, soul, essence came before that of John's.


From Jeremiah 32-34.....

Be given into the hands of....the Lord
Baal...provoked Me....would not listen....in the house that bears My name
Molek...a detestable thing...the GOD of Israel...was saying...in furious anger...that all will not go well for them
With all My heart....once more...fields will be bought...of the hill country...declares the Lord....
I will...tell you...get from this city.....I will cleanse them....I will bring...all nations on earth...to a desolate waste...
The voices of the bride (Earth)....in all its towns...shepherd's...flocks...I will fulfill the good promise....by which....a man ...on the throne...presented a sacrifice....
This is what the Lord says....day and night...can be broken...as the stars....as the sand...came to be
The Lord has rejected and established....kingdoms..
You will see...in His hands...with your own eyes...face to face....
The Lord's promise to you....before you...told all this...came....into covenant...and set them free.
Then the Word...I said....bears My name...you obeyed Me...you...set free....slaves again...
Therefore...the Lord says....those ...people....I will deliver...who walked between (the mists)....


The future is a ghost, unclear, intangible.  It is His domain.  Seek it and you will easily head down the wrong path.  The past is solid, printed on paper like words, unchangeable.  Leave it behind.  The present is ongoing, always changing, focus on it.  He is guiding you into the future for He knows the way.  When you feel you are heading wrong way cry out, "Help me Jesus!", and He is there.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!".....Matthew 14:29-30
Peter took his focus off of Jesus, he focused on he physical not the spirit and he began to sink to wallow in his physical reality. 

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.........Hebrews 12:2

GOD BLESS!  PRAISE JESUS CHRIST!  GOD IS AWESOME!
