Jeremiah 17 ... Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
I am shocked over and over when people mention "these hard times" ... Often they say such things. One day I received phone call from a worldly institution asking for a monthly pledge. The fund raiser (who was a paid fund raiser) really tried to pressure me into making a monthly pledge for crippled children (a seemingly good work). It was obvious she was reading from a pre-written speach. The pressure was enormous. One thing she said is, "In these hard times, I know it is difficult to give but ..."
I really marveled at these words she used. (I did not give her money)
We have missed "these hard times" ... God has led us in a way during the years where we completely missed the financial difficulties many others are facing.
But we have not been trying to get money nor have we been trying to "do more for God" as some ministers say they are trying. We just try to do that which God shows us to do. And no more!
And when we do that, we find HIS yoke is easy and HIS burden is light, just as the scriptures tell us. Mt. 11
Concerning cursing yourself ... Jeremiah 17 ... Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
There are people who read the exhortations we write and cannot see when good cometh. They are following another spirit and become hardened to the real exhortation from the Spirit of God.
We also see there is a time God will send a strong delusion so they will believe a lie so all will be damned who had pleasure in unrighteousness ...
II Thess. 2 ... And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
The messages we write from the Spirit of God are comfort and instruction to those who are of God ... but these same messages are condemnation to those who say they are Christian but pursue their own thinking and reject the truth of the exhortation.
Heb. 11 ... Noah condemned man ... because Noah believed God and did what God told him to do.
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Heb. 11:7
Jesus said ... Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Jn. 8
So the word of God blesses those who follow the word of God ... and the same word condemns those who do not follow the word.
