Blessed Afternoon and welcome back to Telling Time with Scripture! Here’s my submission for today:
2 Samuel 3:36 ~ And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
Amen & Amen! This gives me a brief reminder of whatever our leaders who God has chosen to carry out His work on the earth, we must be pleased by it. If we are not pleased with their works, that means they are not good leaders and they need to repent of their sins and come to Jesus. We see back then and even now there seemed to be more evil leaders than good one’s. But to be honest who does good? As David stated in one of his songs, there’s none that doeth good, no not one. That’s why God had to send Jesus to die for our sins. None of us were born righteous. All of us have sinned and come short of God’s glory. It’s only in Him and by His Spirit we now live righteous lives that pleases Him. We ought to please Him as He pleases us all the time with His wondrous works in heaven and the earth and in our lives for His name’s sake. He truly loves us and wants us to live and not die. ❤ 🙂
Now it’s your time to Tell Time with Scripture! *Make sure the scripture you turn to corresponds with the exact time on your clock! Be blessed! Byes!
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.
16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy ; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them? 10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one that dealeth falsely. 11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. 13 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leave shall fade; and the things I have given them shall pass away from them. 14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defences cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD. 15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! 16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it, the city, and those that dwell therein. 17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD. 18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is in faint in me. 19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zíon? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? 20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. 21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. 22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul; be not cut off in her inquiry; for this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence . 7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed, 9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgement reacheth unto heaven, and lifted up even for the skies.
25-29 ~>
25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain. 26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD. 27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and horses to come up as the rough caterpillars. 28 Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion. 29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
45 – 50 ~>
45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD. 46 And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. 47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgement upon the graven images if Babylon: and her whole land confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. 48 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD. 49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of the earth. 50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
52-53
52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgement upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan. 53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength , yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.
58 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
On this morning while my family and I were getting ready for service; as I usually gazed at His creation and chat with Him, He painted a rainbow across the sky into the mountains reminding me that He is the God of promise. He keeps His promises forever. His word came upon me from {Genesis 9: 11-16} where He promised not to destroy the earth with water again & His everlasting covenaAs that was reestablished between Him, the earth and of course mankind. I started praising Him but then He spoke again saying that He’s speaking to the nation (Trinidad) but they are not taking heed of His voice. I am God. I keep my promises.
I started mourning and felt very grieved in my heart because it is the truth as I looked on at the other one that was forming to the left of the first one but it formed very slightly and disappeared.
I began praying for the nation immediately and for all other nations, as I said out loud in the room before my mom & older sister “Oh, earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord!” {Jeremiah 22:29} As I gave them the message what the Lord delivered to us that morning through His rainbow. ❤ …
The Holy Lamb of God is calling all nations to repentance. They belong to Him. We belong to Him. And there’s nothing we can do to change that fact for His words are eternal and unchangeable.
May we turn back now to the true and living God Jesus Christ before it’s too late in Jesus name. Amen.
1 Hear ye the word of which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 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. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with sliver and gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go, Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
Jeremiah 10:7
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
Jeremiah 10: 10-15
10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 11 Thus shall ye say to them, the gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightenings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. 14 Every brutish man in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Jeremiah 10: 18-19
18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them that they may find it so. 19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is grief, and I must bear it.
Jeremiah 10:21
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
Jeremiah 10:24
O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
• NOW IS THE TIME TO GET IT RIGHT, DON’T GET LEFT BEHIND. •
She was once planted by the rivers of waters. She was happy, beautiful, joyous, contented and holy. She enjoyed His company all the time whenever they met face before feet. He sang over her with joy and love as she returned His songs back to Him. Now that’s what you call couple goals.
One day while she wondered around in the garden, a fox came and sweet talked her into doing a deed that was against her Spouse. She felt His correction in her heart but what the fox said sounded so good and she couldn’t resist his charms. So she took the chance and SNAP! He caught her into his trap, as His presence dismiss her heart. She dined, wined and fornicated in his pleasures that only increased the wound she had received from his deceit.
Her source of joy, content, happiness and love wasn’t felt again. She laid naked on the thorns of shame and despair awaiting for repair, but it couldn’t be found here. In the grave of sin, sorrow and darkness. She looms, weeps and mourns in the glooms. She’s dying. Her false comforters has left her. She must return to the One who will make her One with Him again through His Son. With the little breathe of life left she cries out to Him from the belly of brokenness.
He reaches down and takes her out of the burnt ashes, washing her in His blood and covering her nakedness in His royal robe of righteousness. “I remember your sins no more. Come, my bride! See, I have prepared a place for you!” In this she rejoices and can commune with Love and Mercy again and again! Forever and ever. Amen! ❤
This just flowed from the Holy Spirit of God Himself. All glory to God forever and always! Amen & Amen! I love when He shows up and shows off in my writing for His glory! I love you Lord! ❤
