Jeremiah 10 because WE ARE ONE!

Jeremiah 11 5-9

…4which I commanded your forefathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, 'Listen to My voice, and do according to all which I command you; so you shall be My people, and I will be your God,' 5in order to confirm the oathwhich I swore to your forefathers, to give them a landflowing with milk and honey, as it is this day."'" Then I said, "Amen, O LORD." 6And the LORD said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, 'Hear the words of this covenant and do them.…

Listen to My Voice. 

Now we know God speaks to us, and we all know there are many, many voices that constantly fight for our attention. Be still the mind and listen to the whispers of our Soul. 

Do according to all which I command you. 

We have conviction of the mind, body and soul that longs to direct our path in life, but we are swayed and misdirected by the trust we place in everything but our inner knowledge. This is the root of the inner conflict that forms our daily struggle, we are struggling with ourselves. For we wrestle not against flesh or blood....the quiet unyielding anger, George Bush spoke about in the poetic speech written for him. 

So you shall be My people:

This struck me and has refused to leave, it burns brightly in my Soul and lives as my mind, body and soul struggle for alignment. 

If we all listen to the voice of God, do what God commands, WE ARE all His people. 

Therefore WE ARE ONE united by love, sacrifice, tears, pain and sorrow, happiness will be a fruit of the spirit, joy will be birthed and peace will dwell in our Souls. Can we hold to God's commands? This is our weakness which the world is exploiting, our morals, our values, our sense of identity and the knowledge of right and wrong, opposed, corrupted.  This is sin which separates us from God. Knowing right from wrong and doing it although we know, this is SIN.

Strictness implies a set standard, there is no exception, this is the level at which I expect you to behave and if you don't comply, you are fired. The Military commands respect, The President, The Queen, our government, our leaders command respect, there is a set behavior pattern that must be set and followed and this is how it is, there is no compromise. The Commandments were explicit. Thou shalt not kill. This was non negotiable. Now we making movies and a fortune is made from sin. The penalty or wages of sin is death. What do Satanists chant? Death = Death. Walking Zombies. The dead are walking around us, stealing, killing and misleading us into death beside them and we going willingly. Thou shalt not steal is buried while we are reminded by our leaders that we are alcoholics and home wreckers as they gather their riches and we sow faithfully into death that will eventually claim us as well. For where there is no love there is death. Love brings life, feeds the garden of our souls, nourishes us and sustains us and gives me courage to carry on. 

Jeremiah 11: 6

Study Bible

The Broken Covenant
…5in order to confirm the oath which I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day."'" Then I said, "Amen, O LORD." 6And the LORD said to me, "Proclaim all thesewords in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenantand do them. 7'For I solemnly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up from the land of Egypt, even to this day, warning persistently, saying, "Listen to My voice."…

The Lord said to me: Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear the words of the covenant and do them! 

I solemnly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up from the land of Egypt. 

even to this day, warning persistently, saying: Listen to my voice....

We all know this story, how we as parents, how our parents, friends, family have warned us repeatedly, please don't do that, pointed out possible consequences and when we face those consequences we throw ourselves huge pity parties, wailing in our misery and blaming everyone, there are not many who can take ownership of their respective mistakes. 

The Bible clearly tells us in the last days, there will be cussing and cursing, and wow, we all cussing and cursing and I cannot shake the habit. 

   The anger that grips my mind, body and Soul, anger that is not quiet but grows within as we watch the headlines, watch life unfolding from the sidelines, we all economic slaves. Hopeless is what life seems, so the anger sizzles and simmers within all of us. Only anger leads to self destruction. 

This is the reason that God says Vengeance is mine. We don't get mad and we don't get even and we do not engage in revenge. Our Souls are so precious, so gentle and so fragile, in order to stay connected to the God of Creation and Love, we need to feed on love daily. This is where I made my mistake, I stopped feeding my Soul and my mind ran blank, there was no energy and no recovery, and panic attacks set in, this is what happens when we shut out the power of God. 

We become powerless. Nothing but the word of God is required in our lives, our stresses and strains, our fears and our sorrows, our problems and our enemies belong to God. We have to let it all go and let God do what is required.
