They had turned their back on God. We turn our back on God when we forsake His word. God told Jeremiah that even if Moses and Samuel stood before Him, with petitions for the people, yet His mind could not be towards them. He commanded Jeremiah to cast the people out of His sight for destruction.<br>That was a condition of Adam in the garden: to be cast out, and he was cast out. But there was one Who was ordained even before the fall of Adam to redeem Adam and his children. He is the only one Who stood before God and turned the mind of God towards the people. He had the remedy. He had the new blood, a different kind of blood. The Blood that changes the mind of the people and the mind of God. He is called the Word of God, Jesus Christ. John the Baptist cried out, "Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world."<br><br>&nbsp;Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 15:1-3 “Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. [2] And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. [3] And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.”<br><br>The sons and daughters of Adam were cast out. Some were appointed to the sword. Some of us were appointed to be torn down by the dog, some for the fowls of heaven to just feast on, and some for the beasts of the earth. But there came one Who intervened. He stood in our place. He is the blood of redemption. &nbsp;He redeemed us from the grip of the enemy, brought us back to God, in our original creation, before the fall of Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 15:4-6 “And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem. [5] For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? [6] Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.”<br><br>We forsake Him when we turn our back on His Word. We turn to Him when we receive His Word and walk according to His Word. Faith in His Word is walking according to His Word. His Word has a name. His Name is Jesus Christ. The same yesterday, today, and forever.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 15:7-11 “And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways. [8] Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. [9] She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD. [10] Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me. [11] The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.”<br><br>As in every case, there is always a remnant: those who stayed with God. There were some who, like Abel, believed, and there were others who, like Cain, did not believe. &nbsp;Faith in His Word is always the dividing line.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 15:12-16 “Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? [13] Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. [14] And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you. [15] O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. [16] Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.”<br><br>Jeremiah received the word of God gladly by faith. He was called by the Name of God. That Name is Jesus Christ. He is the same Name by which every man comes unto God. No other Name.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 15:17-21 “I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. [18] Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? [19] Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. [20] And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. [21] And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.”<br><br>Jeremiah stood as the mouthpiece of God to the people. The Word of God is always the guide, and God will protect His Word. Jeremiah was protected because God was protecting His Word. If the Word of God is in you, God will protect His Word. That means you will be protected. This Word of God is who Jesus Christ is. If one rejects Jesus Christ, they are rejecting the Word of God. They have rejected the protection of God.<br><br>Receive Jesus Christ for your protection. BELIEVE and confess Him as we’ve revealed Him from the first Adam. No other name in heaven or on earth. No other place in heaven or on earth, but in Christ!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The Word of God is what creates, produces, and protects. The prophets were prophesying to the people, but it was only out of their own hearts and minds. It was not a word from God. The Lord tells Jeremiah that what the prophet was telling the people was not from Him.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 14:1-6 “The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth. [2] Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. [3] And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads. [4] Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. [5] Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass. [6] And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.”<br><br>The dearth was everywhere. Animals had nothing to eat. Children couldn't find sustenance. The nobles covered their heads in shame. There was no rain. The land is dry. A picture of the spiritual condition of Israel. Everything that happens in the physical begins in the spiritual.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br>Jeremiah 14:7-12 “O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. [8] O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? [9] Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not. [10] Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. [11] Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. [12] When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.”<br><br>There is only one way for sins to be forgiven, and that is through the new blood. Jesus Christ is the new blood. He is the Word of God. When the Word of God is rejected, Jesus Christ is rejected. The new blood is rejected. God is rejected.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 14:13-15 “Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. [14] Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. [15] Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.”<br><br>The prophets spoke in the name of God, but God said, "I send them not. Neither have I commanded them." The Lord Jesus said, "In that day, they will say, 'Lord, we prophesy in your name,' and He will say, 'I never knew you.”<br><br>Matthew 7:22-23 “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”<br><br>The only way to know Jesus Christ is &nbsp;through death out of the old blood and resurrection in the new blood. He is the Word of God. You become one with the Word of God in resurrection The only way to know the Word of God is to be moved by the blood of the first Adam into His blood, the new blood, to become one with the Word through death, burial, and resurrection.<br><br>Let your faith be confirmed with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Then you are one with the Word. You are one with God. Now you are led by the Spirit of God.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 14:16-22 “And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them. [17] Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow. [18] If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not. [19] Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble! [20] We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. [21] Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. [22] Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.”<br><br>&nbsp;Jeremiah will not stop crying out to the Lord for his people, and that's what we must do: cry out to the Lord for our people. Lord, forgive their sins. Turn your eyes upon them. Let your Spirit draw them to you, Lord, that your grace may abound.<br><br><br>Turn to the Lord, BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we reveal Him from the first Adam. The Grace of God, in Christ!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

God had called His creation ‘good’ , meaning every seed in Adam was perfect. Then Adam, out of unbelief of the Word of God, broke his covenant with God, and he fell. With everyone in him, this fall marred every individual and made them profitable for nothing. This is the condition of Israel. God is trying to get a nation out of the blood of the first Adam through His Word and place them in the blood of the second Adam, but they will not hear. They remain profitable for nothing.<br><br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 13:1-10 “Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. [2] So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins. [3] And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, [4] Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. [5] So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me. [6] And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there. [7] Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing. [8] Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, [9] Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. [10] This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.’<br><br>A man or woman in the blood of the first Adam walks according to the imaginations of the old heart, the old heart of unbelief. They only believe what they can see, what they can touch, what they can feel. They do not believe the unseen God. They do not believe in His Word. Because they do not believe in His word, they do not believe in His Son, because His Word is His Son. Jesus said, "If you have known me, you would have known My Father."<br><br>John 14:7 “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.”<br><br>We know the Father by His word. If they have known God by His Word, they would have known Jesus Christ, the Son of God, because He is the Word of God.<br><br>They do not believe His Word has become flesh and dwelt among us. They do not believe that His Word has manifested as a blood sacrifice: the only blood that came straight from heaven, different from the blood of the first Adam, that the world may escape the first Adam into this new blood called the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 13:11 “For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.”<br><br>God tried to cleave the nation unto Himself by His Word, but they would not hear. It is His Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. It is His Word that manifests as the new blood to deliver the whole world. This is where God was directing Israel, but they would not go. They did not understand. They would take God at His Word.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 13:12-16 “Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? [13] Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness. [14] And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. [15] Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. [16] Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.”<br><br>&nbsp;God does not act without first warning the people. He started with confusion in the form of drunkenness. In their confusion, they dash one against another, and then He causes darkness so that their feet will stumble. Darkness is simply absence of the Light, which is the Word of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 13:17-23 “But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive. [18] Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. [19] The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive. [20] Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? [21] What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail? [22] And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare. [23] Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.”<br><br>You cannot change your condition as long as you remain in the blood of the first Adam. There is nothing a man, woman, boy, or girl can do to better themselves in the blood of the first Adam. Nothing! You remain a leopard. You cannot change your spots.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 13:24-27 “Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. [25] This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. [26] Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. [27] I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?”<br><br>The Lord cannot do anything with the individual who remains in the blood of the first Adam. The individual becomes unprofitable, only as good as to return to dust, and is eternally separated from God.<br><br>Become profitable unto God. Follow the Word of God out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we have revealed Him from the first Adam. Marred in the blood of the first Adam, but redeemed in His blood, in Christ<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

There are two ways: the Way of God, which is Jesus Christ, and the way of man, which is the way of Adam. It has always been either the tree of life or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The way of man seems right, but the end thereof is death.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 12:1-2 “Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? [2] Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.”<br><br>Jeremiah is asking the question many people have. They wonder why the wicked prosper. Why doesn't God just take the wicked out and kill them all, judge them all today. Remember, the wicked were not created wicked. The wicked were created perfect as a seed in the first Adam before Adam fell. God sees every seed for who they were before the fall of Adam. That is the seed God is looking at. The fall of Adam has put every individual under the curse of the broken covenant. God has sent His Word to redeem all the seeds that were in Adam before he fell. Some will come out of the blood of Adam according to their faith, and the rest remain in the blood of Adam because of unbelief. The wicked is a man or woman in unbelief. God is patient with the unbeliever because He knows all the unbeliever has to do is believe, and they will come out of wickedness into righteousness. If the individual remains in the blood of the first Adam in unbelief all through their life on this earth, then they will have no excuse at the judgment. This is what Jeremiah could see logically. The unbeliever never prospers.&nbsp;<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 12:3-10 “But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. [4] How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end. [5] If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? [6] For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. [7] I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. [8] Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it. [9] Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. [10] Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.”<br><br>What preserves an individual, a group, or a nation is the Word of God. The Word of God was entrusted to the pastors to teach the people the ways of God, but they taught the people other things other than the Word of God. It is the Word of God that preserves and creates. Nothing else can. No matter what we have been taught, if it's not the Word of God, it is the tree of man; the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 12:11-13 “They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. [12] The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace. [13] They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.”<br><br>When we sow wheat, we expect to reap wheat. When we sow barley, we expect to reap barley, but God can make you sow wheat and reap thorns because it is the Word of God in the wheat that makes it bear wheat. If the Word of God is taken out of the wheat, it bears thorns and thistles.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 12:14-17 “Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. [15] And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. [16] And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. [17] But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.”<br><br>To learn the way of God and swear by His name is to learn of Jesus Christ. He is the Way of God and the Name of God. To be built or destroyed depends on the blood where our spiritual light is placed. We are built by God in the blood of the Second Adam, with a new body, eternal life. We are utterly destroyed by the sword of God in the blood of the First Adam, separated from God. We choose which blood to remain in by our faith.<br><br>Turn on your light of faith and place it in the blood of the second Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Remaining wicked is a choice, just as righteousness is a choice, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<section class="sp-section sp-scheme-0" data-index="1" data-scheme="0"><div class="sp-section-slide"  data-label="Main" ><div class="sp-section-content" ><div class="sp-grid sp-col sp-col-24"><div class="sp-block sp-text-block " data-type="text" data-id="0" style=""><div class="sp-block-content"  style="">“Cursed Be The Man That Obeys Not The Word Of This Covenant.”<br><br>Reference Jeremiah chapter 11<br><br>He is the God of Covenants . This covenant was between God and Abraham, the father of Israel. Abraham had passed on, but God kept His Word. He kept His part of the covenant, a promise to bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey. &nbsp;But Israel would not believe the Word of God. They have gone so far away from the Word of God that they were worshiping idols. Every city had an idol of its own. Just like any covenant, when it's broken, there are consequences. When the first Adam broke his covenant with God, the consequences were thorns, thistles, disease, and ultimately death. When the children of Israel broke their covenant with God, it brought upon them consequences.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 11:1-3 “The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, [2] Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; [3] And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant.”<br><br>There are two sides to a covenant. Keeping the covenant retains the benefits, breaking the covenant trigger the consequence. In a covenant with God, one side is a blessing, and the other side is a curse. Blessed is the man that does the words of the covenant, and cursed is the man that does not do the words of the covenant. Very simple, never changes. Today, blessed is the man that is in the new covenant, the covenant between God and the second Adam. Cursed is the man that remains in the old covenant, the covenant between God and the first Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 11:4-11 “Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: [5] That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD. [6] Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. [7] For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. [8] Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not. [9] And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. [10] They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. [11] Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.”<br><br>The Word of God protects us. When we go contrary to the Word of God, He allows evil to come to us, evil that we cannot escape. They cried out to Him in Egypt. He heard their cry, and for Abraham's sake, He sent them a leader in Moses to come and deliver His people.<br><br>Exodus 2:23-24 “And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. [24] And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.”<br><br>Crying to God is a type of faith. God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is also called Israel, but the children of Israel did not remember their covenant with God. &nbsp;They've went into idolatry. They triggered the other side of the covenant, which is the curse.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 11:12-14 “Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. [13] For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal. [14] Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.”<br><br>As long as an individual remains in the broken covenant of the first Adam, they can cry and pray and fast and go to mountains and chant and cut themselves, and it will not move God. We must come out of the broken covenant of the first Adam into the covenant of the Second Adam. This is where our prayer moves heaven.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 11:15-23 “What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest. [16] The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. [17] For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal. [18] And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings. [19] But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut Him off from the land of the living, that His name may be no more remembered. [20] But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause. [21] Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand: [22] Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine: [23] And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.”<br><br>The child of God, separated from the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam, does not have to fight their battles. God said, "Vengeance is mine." God can fight those who devise things against you more than you can. Just trust Him.<br><br>Vengeance is His. BELIEVE and confess. Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. He is the God of the New Covenant, in Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

They were idol worshippers. Today, the heathen is the individual who believes in horoscopes, energy, psychics, and sorcery. The heathen is the individual who remains in the blood of the first Adam through unbelief.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 10:1-2 ‘Hear ye the word 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.’<br><br>The unbeliever or heathen dwells in the cursed blood of the first Adam. They have not entered the blessed blood of the second Adam. The heathen believes in the signs of heaven instead of the One Who created heaven. The heathen believes what they can see, hear, touch, and feel, instead of the unseen, the untouched, the unfelt, Living God. True faith is the evidence of things not seen, not felt, not heard.The heathen without knowledge is an unbeliever. He or she is not even aware of their unbelief. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen yet believe."<br><br>John 20:29 “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”<br><br>&nbsp;These signs shall follow those who believe. The signs of God do not come before we believe but after we believe. Signs do not lead faith but follows faith. Signs leads unbelief.<br><br>John 11:41-42 "Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. [42] And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 10:3-10 “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 silver and with 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. [6] Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. [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. [8] But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. [9] Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men. [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.”<br><br>The heathen built their own gods with stones, wood, silver, and gold, and worshiped them, but the true God lives from everlasting to everlasting. The heathen or unbeliever has no concept of this true Living God. They worship the sun god, the moon god, Buddha, or some kind of animal. In some nations, all animals are gods, and they are worshipped.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 10:11-16 “Thus shall ye say unto 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 lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. [14] Every man is brutish 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. [16] The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.”<br><br>The Lord of Hosts is His name. He has placed His name in His Word, His Word that became flesh and dwelt among men. His Name in His Word is called Jesus Christ.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 10:17-25 “Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. [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 a grief, and I must bear it. [20] My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. [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. [22] Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons. [23] O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. [24] O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. [25] Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.”<br><br>The pastors and the teachers have become brutish. They have not sought the Lord. They were preaching out of their own minds. Today, God has revealed His Word to go forth to all nations. The revelation of blood: the blood of the first Adam versus the blood of the second Adam. Teachers teach it, pastors preach it. That is the Word of God.<br><br>Place your faith in the Creator and not the creation. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the Creator, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. The Lord of Hosts is His Name, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Religion offers a leader, a teacher, a priest, a rabbi, an imam. a guru. Religion doesn't offer us the new blood &nbsp;Religion doesn't tell us that we need to be circumcised of the heart. Religion doesn't tell us that we must escape the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. Religion has kept the world from knowing God.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 9:1-3 "Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! [2] Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. [3] And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD."<br><br>Evil is to remain in the blood of the first Adam. Man in the blood of the first Adam will proceed from evil to evil. Doesn't get better, gets worse and worse One will never know God in the blood of the first Adam. Jesus said, "Unless you're born again, you cannot even see the kingdom of God." Unless you've been drawn out of the blood of the first Adam into His blood, you can never know God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 9:4-6 "Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. [5] And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. [6] Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD."<br><br>Living in deceit is to be living in the blood of the first Adam. The habitation is deceit. The cancer is unbelief. The result is no knowledge of the Lord.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 9:7-13 "Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? [8] Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. [9] Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? [10] For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone. [11] And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. [12] Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through? [13] And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;"<br><br>The law of God has been the same from the very beginning. In the Garden of Eden, He was the tree of life, the Word of God. He walked on earth as the second Adam, the new blood: Jesus Christ. Today, He is on earth in the Person of the Holy Spirit. Same Word of God. Yesterday, today, and forever.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 9:14-20 "But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: [15] Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. [16] I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them. [17] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: [18] And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters. [19] For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out. [20] Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation."<br><br>Let our ears receive the Word of His mouth, not our physical ears, but our spiritual ears, which is our faith. Our spiritual eyes is our faith. Our spiritual hands, it's our faith. Our spiritual taste is our faith. Taste and see that the Lord is good. This is how we come to God. Without faith, it's impossible to come to God, and our faith must be placed in the blood of the second Adam. This is how we meet God. This is how we unite back with God.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 9:21-26 "For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets. [22] Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them. [23] Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: [24] But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. [25] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; [26] Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart."<br><br>There is only one thing to glory in, and that is the finished work of the Second Adam, which gives man the opportunity to die out of the First Adam and resurrect in the blood of the Second Adam. This is the glory. This is the power. This is our union with God.<br><br>Enter into His glory by faith in His death and resurrection. Recognized by faith that you died and resurrected with Him. BELIEVE and confess Him as we have revealed Him from the first Adam. Glory in your death and resurrection with Him, in Christ!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

[5] Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. [6] I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. [7] Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD."<br><br>Men and women remain in the blood of the first Adam because they ignore the conscience of God in them. The conscience of God in any man or woman points to the fact that there is something wrong. Today, we've discovered that something is the blood, the blood of the first Adam. There's a new blood for man to exit the old blood of Adam. Yet men and women continue to ignore their conscience and remain in the evil family of the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 8:8-11 "How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. [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 dealeth falsely. [11] For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."<br><br>There is no peace in the blood of the first Adam. They say, "Peace, peace," where there is no peace. There's only one place of peace, and that is in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 8:12-15 "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 leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them. [14] Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced 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!"<br><br>A time of health cannot be found in the blood of the first Adam. Health is only in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 8:16-20 "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 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 Zion? 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."<br><br>Many have heard the gospel, but yet remain unconverted. They refuse to come out of the blood of the first Adam. The word is going forward: God always sends a warning before He acts. Noah went out warning the people, but they refused to hear. Jeremiah warns the people. They refuse to hear. We are warning the world today. The question is, will they hear? The blood of the first Adam is an evil family. It's death. It’s damnation.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 8:21-22 "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?"<br><br>Yes, there is a Balm in Gilead. He's on earth today in the Person of the Holy Spirit. Men and women have just chosen to reject Him.<br><br>Come out of the blood of the first Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. There is a balm in Gilead, in Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Going to church or temple doesn't mean you're worshiping the Lord. Worshiping the Lord is a way. The Word of God comes to them to amend their ways. That Way we know today is Jesus Christ. He is the Way out of the blood of Adam into the blood of God. He is the Word of God. We forsake the word of God to our hurt.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 7:1-4 "The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, [2] Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. [3] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. [4] Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these."<br><br>- I'm a Catholic. It's a lying word.<br>- I'm a Baptist. It's a lying word.<br>-I'm a Lutheran. It's a lying word.<br>- I'm a Jehovah's Witness. It's a lying word.<br>- I'm an Anglican. It's a lying word.<br>- I'm a Methodist. It's a lying word.<br>- I'm a Pentecostal. It's a lying word. -I'm of this religion" is a lying word. -I'm of this denomination. It's a lying word.<br><br>We must be of Christ!<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 7:5-8 "For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; [6] If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: [7] Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. [8] Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit."<br><br>Lying words cannot profit. No church denomination or group can save you. You are only saved out of the blood of Adam into the blood of Jesus Christ through a death and a resurrection, by your faith. He is the Way.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 7:9-15 "Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; [10] And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? [11] Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. [12] But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. [13] And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; [14] Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. [15] And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim."<br><br>In the Garden of Eden, He cast out the whole seed of the first Adam. He &nbsp;grafted the believer, the individual who has amended their way by faith in the Word, &nbsp;as a seed in Christ.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 7:16-23 "Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. [17] Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? [18] The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. [19] Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? [20] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. [21] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. [22] For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: [23] But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you."<br><br>He is not looking for your offerings and sacrifices. He is looking for you to be obedient to His Word. Jesus Christ is His Word. Jesus Christ is His Way.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 7:24-34 "But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. [25] Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: [26] Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. [27] Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. [28] But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. [29] Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath. [30] For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it. [31] And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. [32] Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place. [33] And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away. [34] Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate."<br><br>They walk in their imaginations and the evil counsel of their heart. Any heart that remains in the blood of the first Adam is simply evil. God will destroy by His wrath. The Way out is the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>Go the way of God: BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the Second Adam, as we have revealed Him from the First Adam. There is a way, and that is, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

It doesn't matter what the individual has or doesn't have, where they live, or what stage of life they are in. If the person is still living in the blood of the first Adam, they have no peace. They may greet each other with the word "shalom" or "salam," but inwardly there is no peace. They may sign peace treaties and design documents of peace among nations, but as long as the individual is in the blood of the first Adam, there is no peace. Because peace can only be found in the blood of the Second Adam, hence He is the Prince of Peace.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 6:1-8 "O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth–haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction. [2] I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. [3] The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place. [4] Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out. [5] Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces. [6] For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her. [7] As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds. [8] Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited."<br><br>Whether in Jerusalem or Lesotho, where the Word of God is rejected, the individual is rejected. If it's a nation, the nation is rejected. Jerusalem rejected the Word of God. Israel has gone awhoring after other gods. They remained in the blood of the first Adam. God was pointing them to the ultimate second Adam, but they would not go His way. They would not go according to His Word, so they brought on themselves destruction. The absence of the Word of God is destruction. The Word of God is peace. Jesus Christ is this Word of God<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 6:9-10 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets. [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."<br><br>A man or woman in the blood of the first Adam has an uncircumcised ear. It is a type of unbelief. They hear the Word, but they just don't believe it. The Word of God to them is a reproach. Jesus Christ is a reproach to the unbeliever.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 6:11-14 "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."<br><br>Peace was in the womb of Mary. Peace grew in the womb and was birthed out. He walked on earth.Isaiah introduced Him many years before His birth as the Prince of Peace.<br><br>Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."<br><br>There is no peace outside the blood of Prince of Peace.<br><br>We continue our reading<br><br>Jeremiah 6:15-20 "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."<br><br>He is not looking for our sacrifice, our gift, our talent. He's looking for us to die out of the first Adam and resurrect in the second Adam through faith in His finished work on the cross.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 6:21-30 "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."<br><br>We reject the Word of God to our own destruction. The Word of God is life. Without the Word of God, there is no life. It's death.<br><br>Choose life. BELIEVE and confess Christ. The blood of God, as we reveal Him from the first Adam. There is peace only ,in Christ.!<br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

God cannot do anything for the unbeliever. He has done it all on the cross. No one can force the horse to drink. The finished work of the cross is the fountain of life. If any man thirsts, he can come to this fountain and drink to his satisfaction.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 5:1 "Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it."<br><br>God is looking for anyone who would believe Him. At the time of Noah, it was just one man and his family. The whole world lived in unbelief.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 5:2-10 "And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. [3] O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return. [4] Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God. [5] I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds. [6] Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased. [7] How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. [8] They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. [9] Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? [10] Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD'S."<br><br>Sin has to be destroyed, and in the process, the individual is also destroyed. The nation of Israel forsook the word of God to their own destruction. The Word of God is what created man. The Word protects man, and the Word provides for man. The Word of God is a Person in the Name of Jesus Christ The Word of God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 5:11-14 "For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. [12] They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: [13] And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. [14] Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them."<br><br>The Word of God in the mouth of Jesus Christ brought healing, salvation, and relief to the believer, and torment to the unbeliever. It is the same today. He said, "Go ye into all nations.". As the Father sent me, so I send you. He brought the word of the Father. Same Word must go out to all the nations, and will bring the same results.<br><br>&nbsp;We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 5:15-21 "Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. [16] Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. [17] And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. [18] Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you. [19] And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. [20] Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, [21] Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:"<br><br>The unbeliever has eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot hear because you can only see and hear God, not through your five senses, but through your sixth sense of faith. If you throw away that faith, you simply have eyes and ears that are useless. That's the state of the unbeliever.&nbsp;<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 5:22 "Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?"<br><br>The same God who made the sea come to the seashore and not any further, the same God Who said, "Let there be light," the same God Who created you. How can you not believe Hm? How can you not fear Him?<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 5:23-25 "But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. [24] Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. [25] Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you."<br><br>Unless you remain in the blood of the first Adam. In this position, all your spiritual senses are dull. Your iniquities and your sins have withheld good things of God from you.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 5:26-31 "For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. [27] As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. [28] They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. [29] Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? [30] A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; [31] The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?"<br><br>The prophets were prophesying falsely, and the priests did not point them to the Word of God. Today, in our world, our prophets are prophesying falsely, and our preachers are preaching fables. This causes God to withhold good things from the people.<br><br>Turn to the Word of God. Jesus Christ is the Word of God. BELIEVE and confess Him as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. The same Word of God yesterday, today, and forever, in Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

It's the circumcision of the heart. The old flesh of the first Adam is cut off, and the individual is placed in the new blood of the Second Adam. The circumcision is a death and resurrection: a death to the old heart of the first Adam, and a resurrection with the new heart of the Second Adam.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 4:1-4 "If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. [2] And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. [3] For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. [4] Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings."<br><br>In confirmation of his faith, the Lord gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, an everlasting covenant.<br><br>Genesis 17:13 "He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant."<br><br>It was a covenant in the flesh through physical circumcision. It was a shadow of the covenant in the spirit. Through the spiritual circumcision done by the Holy Spirit, when we are moved from the blood of the first Adam to the blood of the second Adam The Holy Spirit circumcises our heart, making us one with God. The old Adamic nature is removed. We now inherit a divine nature through our union with the new blood. This is an everlasting covenant.<br><br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 4:5-13 "Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities. [6] Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. [7] The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. [8] For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us. [9] And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder. [10] Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul. [11] At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse, [12] Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them. [13] Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled."<br><br>In uncircumcision of the heart, the Lord allowed Babylon to trample over Israel and brought them into captivity. Today, if we remain in unbelief and do not cross over from the first blood to the second blood, the Lord allows our enemy to take over us spiritually, mentally, and physically.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 4:14-22 "O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? [15] For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. [16] Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. [17] As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD. [18] Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart. [19] My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. [20] Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. [21] How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? [22] For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."<br><br>The sin nature produces evil. It makes us wise to do evil. It's the divine nature that produces good. Without the divine nature, the individual can do no good. Even their good is corrupted.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 4:23-28 "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. [24] I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. [25] I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. [26] I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. [27] For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. [28] For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it."<br><br>Because He has said it, the Word of God is everlasting. He purposed the universe by his Word. You and I, included in that universe, were purposed in His thoughts even before the foundation of the world.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 4:29-31 "The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. [30] And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life. [31] For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers."<br><br>If we forsake His word in unbelief, He forsakes us. The weary of the world is because we have forsaken the Word of God. Jesus Christ is the Word of God, and we receive this Word through a death and resurrection with Him.<br><br>Die and resurrect with Him. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the Word of God, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. Be circumcised, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Like the world today, many are traveling to mountains and high places, looking for the answer to a broken life. Salvation only comes through blood because the problem is blood. God is calling everybody to the blood. The whole world must come to the blood.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 3:1-3 "They say, If a man put away His wife, and she go from Him, and become another man's, shall He return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD. [2] Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness. [3] Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed."<br><br>He causes the rain and can also hold the rain. He showers His blessings upon those who have heeded the call to come out of Adam's blood into His blood. He withholds the rains from those who remain in the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 3:4-6 "Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth? [5] Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest. [6] The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot."<br><br>Like many today, Israel was looking for help from the wrong places. Nothing will take a man or woman out of the blood of Adam. When we recognize that, then we can run to the solution.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 3:7-13 "And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. [8] And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. [9] And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. [10] And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. [11] And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. [12] Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. [13] Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.."<br><br>If we come to Him in repentance, acknowledging our original inheritance from Adam, He will receive us, and remove us from the first blood into the second blood.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 3:14-15 "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: [15] And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding."<br><br>The true pastor today is the one who's feeding the people knowledge and understanding. This knowledge and understanding is the Person of the Holy Spirit. The true pastor points the people to follow after the Holy Spirit. God, the Holy Spirit is on earth today, leading His church.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 3:16-19 "And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more. [17] At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. [18] In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. [19] But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me."<br><br>We are born children of the first Adam. The only way we become His children is through the blood of the second Adam. The blood of the second Adam is what will bring Israel and Judah together. The blood of the second Adam is what will bring the whole world together. For the whole world is in the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 3:20-25 "Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD. [21] A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. [22] Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God. [23] Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel. [24] For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. [25] We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God."<br><br>Man cannot walk in the ways of God until he has been moved out of the blood of the first Adam. The corruption of the first blood cannot be overcome by any effort. The only solution is to escape the first blood. Man cannot see in the first blood. We receive our sight only in the second blood.<br><br>Receive your sight. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second blood, as we reveal Him from the first blood. Salvation is only, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

[3] Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD."<br><br>The call to Israel was to be holiness unto the Lord. They were to follow the faith of righteous Abraham. Abraham knew Jesus Christ, but Israel didn't.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 2:4-7 "Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel: [5] Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? [6] Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? [7] And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination."<br><br>God's heritage is His Word. When we move away from His Word, we move away from Him. This is the Word that became flesh and dwelled among us.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 2:8 "The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit."<br><br>They knew Him not. We can only know Him by His Word.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 2:9-13 "Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead. [10] For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. [11] Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. [12] Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. [13] For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water."<br><br>Faith in anything other than the blood of the Second Adam, becoming one with Him through death and resurrection, is a broken cistern. We forsake the fountain of living water, remain in the blood of the first Adam, if we continue in unbelief.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 2:14-21 "Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled? [15] The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant. [16] Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head. [17] Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way? [18] And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river? [19] Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts. [20] For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. [21] Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?"<br><br>God planted Israel in Christ, but they did not want Him. They rejected Him. Israel then grew up a strange vine. When the Word of God is rejected, we become strange vines to God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 2:22-28 "For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD. [23] How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways; [24] A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her. [25] Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go. [26] As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, [27] Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. [28] But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah."<br><br>There is only one Savior because the problem is blood. Man must be saved out of the old blood into the new blood. Man must be saved from the contaminated, corrupted blood into the perfect blood. There is only one with that perfect blood, and that is Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 2:29-37 "Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD. [30] In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. [31] O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? [32] Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. [33] Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways. [34] Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these. [35] Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned. [36] Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria. [37] Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them."<br><br>When we forsake the Fountain of Living water, He rejects us because there is no life in the blood of the first Adam. Life is only in the blood of the second Adam. He is the Fountain of Living water.<br><br>Come to the Fountain . BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the Living Water, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. The water is flowing as we speak, in Christ!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

They were all in the original seed<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Jeremiah 1:1-5 "The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: [2] To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month. [4] Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, [5] Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."<br><br>God formed Jeremiah by His word. Jeremiah needed to be sanctified because Adam had brought every seed down with him. Jesus Christ did not need to be sanctified. He is the Seed that never fell to sin. Jeremiah was ordained a prophet unto the nations. Jesus Christ was ordained the Prophet unto the world. They both brought one thing to the world, and that is the Word of God. Today, in Christ, if you have received the word of God for your nation, you are ordained a prophet unto your nations. He formed you and ordained you for this purpose even before you were in your mother's womb.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 1:6-9 "Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. [7] But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. [8] Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. [9] Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth."<br><br>He has put His word in your mouth, the revelation of the blood. Take it to your nations.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 1:10 "See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."<br><br>This word of God, the revelation of blood, is what's going to pull down, destroy, throw down religion, build and plant nations. the revelation of blood will unite all denominations, all religions, and the whole world to come out of the first blood and enter the second blood.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Jeremiah 1:11-18 "Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. [12] Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. [13] And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north. [14] Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. [15] For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah. [16] And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands. [17] Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. [18] For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land."<br><br>His word in you makes you a defense city against wickedness and ungodliness. His word in you makes you a pillar of righteousness.<br><br>We conclude our reading<br><br>Jeremiah 1:19 "And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee."<br><br>There will be a fight between darkness and righteousness, but take heart, for you shall prevail against them, for the Lord is with you.<br><br>Go forward with His word. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ the second Adam, as we reveal Him from the first Adam. He formed you, ordained you even before you were in your mother's womb, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Here is Jesus right before His crucifixion.<br><br>John 13:31-32 "Therefore, when He was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. [32] If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him."<br><br>This glory of the work of the cross allowed the whole world to come and die with Him on the cross so that we may resurrect with Him. This is the opportunity for the whole world to die out of the blood of the first Adam and resurrect in the blood of the Second Adam.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 66:1-2 "Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? [2] For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word."<br><br>There is one thing that unites God and man, and that is the Word of God. Jesus Christ is this Word of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 66:3-4 "He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. [4] I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not."<br><br>Fear and delusions are consistent with unbelief of the Word of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 66:5-12 "Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. [6] A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies. [7] Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. [8] Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. [9] Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. [10] Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: [11] That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. [12] For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees."<br><br>Peace to Jerusalem will be like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles, which is the salvation of the Gentiles, will be abundant. The Jew and the Gentile will all find the solution as they unite in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 66:13-22 "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. [14] And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies. [15] For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. [16] For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. [17] They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD. [18] For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. [19] And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. [20] And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. [21] And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. [22] For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain."<br><br>He ordained the seed of Israel in His covenant with Abraham. The seed is Jesus Christ. The Seed and the name will never change.<br><br>We can conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 66:23-24 "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. [24] And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh."<br><br>There is a hell where the carcasses of men that have transgressed against God, the worms shall never die. Neither shall the fire be quenched. Our only escape is the blood of the second, Adam.<br><br>Find yourself in His blood. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we reveal Him from the first Adam. He's already paid the price for you to enter the glory of God, in Christ!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

God, through the prophet Isaiah, tells us what to look forward to after we have completely left the blood body of Adam for our glorified new bodies. It will be a new earth, a new Jerusalem. Jesus Christ will be living right here among us, answering all our questions immediately. We don't have to pray and wait for answers. It will be immediate, communicating directly in every affair.<br><br>What a time that will be!<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 65:1-2 "I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. [2] I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts."<br><br>God spread His hands to Israel, but they rebelled against Him. They will not come to Him to be saved. He spread His hands to the world when He hung on a cross, and the world at large will not come to Him for salvation. They are rather living after their own thoughts.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 65:3-5 "A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; [4] Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; [5] Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day."<br><br>The Pharisee thinks he is holier than Jesus Christ. The unbelieving Jew thinks he is holier than the child of God in Christ. Holiness is a person. His name is Jesus Christ. If He is not in us, our self proclaimed holiness is simply a smoke or irritation in the nose of God.<br><br>we continue our reading<br><br>Isaiah 65:6-8 "Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, [7] Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom. [8] Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all."<br><br>God will not destroy them all. The unbeliever will be destroyed, but the believer will be kept.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 65:9 "And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there."<br><br>He is the new Seed, the Seed of Jacob. The Seed from the tribe of Judah, Who will replace the old blood seed, the old Adam.<br><br>we continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 65:10-15 "And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. [11] But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. [12] Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not. [13] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: [14] Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. [15] And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:"<br><br>His servants are those who have been removed, uprooted from the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 65:16-17 "That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. [17] For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."<br><br>In the new heavens and the new earth, in our resurrected, glorified bodies, the former earth and problems will not come to mind. We will totally be separated from the problems of the first Adam. We will be complete in the blessings of the Second Adam. Praise God!!<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 65:18-25 "But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. [19] And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. [20] There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. [21] And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. [22] They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. [23] They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. [24] And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. [25] The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."<br><br><br>we shall build homes and live in those homes forever. There will be no more death for the believer. Before you even say a prayer, Jesus Christ will be there to answer. While you are yet speaking, He will hear you and present you immediately with an answer. &nbsp;Bringing us back exactly into the Garden just as He first prepared for Adam before he fell.<br><br>What a time that will be! BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the new blood seed, as we reveal Him from the old blood seed. A new heaven and a new earth, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

By faith, I am saved in Christ. By faith, I have become one with God in Christ.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 64:1-4 "Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, [2] As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! [3] When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. [4] For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him."<br><br>Unbelief has always been the problem from the very beginning. That's how Adam started, and it's been the nature of man. Faith beyond the five senses is the solution.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 64:5-6 "Thou meetest Him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved. [6] But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."<br><br><br>Adam placed every seed in him in the garden into sin. &nbsp;Every seed became corrupted from that day.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 64:7 "And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities."<br><br>Everyone is born in unbelief. Everyone is born bent to unbelief, doubt, and sin. It is an inherited nature from the first Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 64:8 "But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."<br><br>He is the Potter, and we are the clay. Our Heavenly Father. formed us not in our mother's womb, but before the fall of Adam. We have been formed as bloodseeds in Adam.<br><br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 64:9-12 "Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. [10] Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. [11] Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. [12] Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?"<br><br>Desolation and wilderness experience are the results of unbelief. Faith restores all the broken pieces.<br><br>Turn on your light of faith. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we have revealed Him from the first Adam. Eyes have not seen, nor ears perceived, what God has in store for those, in Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

His name is from Everlasting. His name is the Redeemer of the world. His name is Jesus Christ.<br><br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 63:1 "Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save."<br><br>He is the only one Who is mighty to save. He redeemed us through His death on the cross, and He will come back to get His bride in fury and vengeance.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 63:2-4 "Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? [3] I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. [4] For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come."<br><br>He is coming for His bride, the redeemed of the Lord, and nothing will stand in His way.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 63:5-7 "And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. [6] And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth. [7] I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses."<br><br>Israel, at this time, will turn to God, like the brothers of Joseph came to Joseph. Israel will come to Jesus Christ, their Joseph. They will meet the goodness, love, mercies, and kindness of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 63:8-10 "For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. [9] In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. [10] But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them."<br><br><br>Through His covenant with Abraham, He raised Israel, the seed of Abraham, but they did not keep the faith of Abraham. They rebelled against Him, So He became their enemy. Now, they come to Him as their Savior through Christ.<br><br>&nbsp;We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 63:11 "Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?"<br><br>He remembered his covenant with Abraham and his seed. Today, He remembers His covenant with Jesus Christ and His seed, those who have been Redeemed by His blood.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 63:12-16 "That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? [13] That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? [14] As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. [15] Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained? [16] Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting."<br><br>The Abrahamic covenant alone could not redeem any man. The Ten Commandments cannot redeem any man. Redemption only comes through the new covenant, the blood of the second Adam. For the problem is the blood of the first Adam, and the solution can only be in the blood of the Second Adam.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 63:17-19 "O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. [18] The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. [19] We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name."<br><br>Israel shall be on her last legs and will cry out to God. God will reveal Himself to them as the Savior, the Redeemer, the Second Adam, to draw them out of the old blood into the new blood.<br><br>He is the redeemer of the world. He is not redeeming those in Adam after the fall. He is redeeming those who were in Adam before the fall. Before the fall of Adam, everybody on Earth was in Adam as a blood seed, a perfect seed. This is whom God is redeeming.<br><br>Come out of the blood of the first Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. He knew you from everlasting, in Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

They will receive the revelation of the blood of Jesus as the solution to the problem of the world. The same revelation we have today.<br>&nbsp;I believe the revelation of the blood will bring the whole world together. People will recognize the world is not divided along color lines, religious lines, financial lines, or coastal lines, but along bloodline. The world will discover that we are not divided along the lines of Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, or Confucian, but simply along a bloodline.<br>Jerusalem will exit the old bloodline for the new bloodline.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 62:1 "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth."<br><br>Salvation simply means to be moved from the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 62:2 "And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name."<br><br>When a man or woman is moved from the blood of the first Adam to the blood of the second Adam, they receive a new name. Their name is now written in the Lamb's book of life. You can call it the book of the new blood. They've gone from being forsaken to a delight of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 62:3-5 "Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. [4] Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi–bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. [5] For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee."<br><br>Through salvation, when we are moved from the old Adam's blood to the new Adam's blood, we become the bride of Christ, the bride of God in Christ. Just as Eve, the wife of Adam, came from his side, the believer has come out of the side of Christ when he hung on the cross. The believer has died and been resurrected with Christ. The believer is now the bride of Christ.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 62:6-11 "I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, [7] And give him no rest, till He establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. [8] The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: [9] But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness. [10] Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. [11] Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with Him, and His work before Him."<br><br><br>Salvation comes for the world. I have reiterated that every man and woman has blood. That means every man and woman is in the old blood of the first Adam. They just need to be moved out of the old blood into the new blood of the second Adam. Salvation is now accessible to the world simply through the revelation of blood.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 62:12 "And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken."<br><br>When an individual is moved out of the blood of the old Adam to the blood of the new Adam, they are called a holy person, a redeemed of the Lord, sought out and not forsaken.<br><br>Let your faith move you out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. BELIEVE and convert Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. Salvation is coming to the world, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The Word of God is Spirit, and the Word is life. Jesus Christ is this Word of God.<br><br>The spirit of God is upon the Word of God.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 61:1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound."<br><br>The Spirit in the Word of God is who binds up the brokenhearted, liberates the captives, and delivers all men from the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>The Word of God comes with the Spirit of God and can only be received by faith.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 61:2-4 "To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; [3] To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. [4] And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.l<br><br>The Spirit of God in the word of God is always transformational. It uproots the individual from the seed of the first Adam and plants them in the seed of the second Adam to be trees bearing fruit of righteousness.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 61:5-6 "And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. [6] But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves."<br><br>The minister of God is the individual indwelt by the Word and Spirit of God. The glory of the minister of God is to see men and women connected to God.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 61:7-11 "For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. [8] For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. [9] And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. [10] I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. [11] For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations."<br><br>The Lord causes the righteousness and praise to spring forth by the Spirit in His word. The Word of God, indwelt by the Spirit of God, is who Jesus Christ is. There have been many leaders and proclaimers. You have Confucius, the great Chinese leader. You have Buddha. You have Muhammad. There were great leaders, teachers, and philosophers, but they are all dead and buried in their graves. There is only one who said, "I have power over death. I will lay down my life and pick it up," and He laid down his life and picked it up in resurrection because iHe was the Word of God, indwelled &nbsp;by the Spirit of God. So shall you lay down your life and pick it back up if you are indwelled by the Spirit of God in the Word of God. This is why a man can say, "Oh, death, where is thy sting? Oh, grave, where is thy victory?" For God gave us the victory through Jesus Christ, the Word, indwelled by the Spirit of God.<br><br>Let the Spirit, by the Word, come and abide in you. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the Word of God, indwelt by the Spirit of God, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Become a tree of righteousness, in Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

[2] For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. [3] And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."<br><br><br>Israel at this time would have received the Savior, the Lord of glory, the King of kings, the second Adam. Like anyone who receives Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, Israel will become a light to the world.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 60:4-9 "Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. [5] Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. [6] The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. [7] All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. [8] Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? [9] Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee."<br><br>Israel will not have to go look for things, but the Lord will bring it to them. When we become one with Christ, the Second Adam, by exiting the blood of the First Adam, we don't go look for things. We wait, and the Lord brings to us. We attract the things of the Lord with our light, which is the Word of God in a man or woman.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 60:10 "And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee."<br><br>The Lord chastised Israel when they went astray in unbelief, like a loving father chastises his son. He pours His love onto Israel when they have turned the right way. The right way is the way of faith in the blood of the slain Lamb of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 60:11-17 "Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. [12] For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. [13] The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. [14] The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. [15] Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. [16] Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. [17] For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness."<br><br>What a mighty God we serve! He will do the same for you if you will trust Him&nbsp;today. He will make your brass gold, and your stones, iron.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 60:18 "Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise."<br><br>Heirs of salvation, purchased of God Salvation is when we exit the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. The result is praise .<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 60:19-22 "The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. [20] Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. [21] Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. [22] A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time."<br><br>Created lights will no longer be needed because the Light of the world will be present. The Lord will take your little to become a nation.<br><br><br>Rest in your light. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, as we reveal Him from the first Adam. Eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, what God has in store for those that love Him, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

They have rejected the word of God. It is not because God has not sent His word, but because they have rejected the word.<br><br>Isaiah records.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 59:1-2 "Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: [2] But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."<br><br>The sinner simply refuses to hear that God has made a way for him to come out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 59:3-8 "For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. [4] None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. [5] They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. [6] Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. [7] Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. [8] The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace."<br><br>Sin is a result of remaining in the blood of the first Adam. There is no peace. Blinded by Satan, evil continually is the result.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 59:9-15 "Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. [10] We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. [11] We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. [12] For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; [13] In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. [14] And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. [15] Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment."<br><br>The few who turn to the Lord and exit the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam are hated by the world. The Lord Jesus Christ says they shall hate you for my sake. They hated him because righteousness exposes sin, and sin exposed brings guilt and shame.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 59:16 "And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him."<br><br>His arm brought Salvation, Who is Jesus Christ, His Word, the new blood of God, the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 59:17-20 "For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. [18] According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. [19] So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. [20] And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD."<br><br>The Savior comes to those who turn their light of faith out of the blood of Adam and place it in His blood. For those who refuse to turn on to their light of faith, does He repay according to their deeds.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 59:21 "As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever."<br><br>His Word is what sets the believer apart from the unbeliever. His word is called Jesus Christ. His word in the believer makes them seeds of God, seeds of the word of God, seeds of Christ. Heirs of God, co-heirs of Christ.<br><br>Let His Word remove you from the blood of the first Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the Word of God, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. Salvation has come. Salvation is here in, Christ!<br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The creation of the universe began with God as his thought. Before any man or woman was formed in their mother's womb, they were in the thoughts of God. The thought was expressed as a word, and he placed that word in Adam, the first seed. When Adam fell out of fellowship with God, the plan was already in place for the redemption of the fallen seeds of Adam. The plan of God from the very beginning was to have children in Christ through adoption.<br><br>Galatians 4:4-5 "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, [5] To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons."<br><br>God spoke this plan even in the Garden of Eden.<br><br>Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."<br><br>He called the second Adam the seed of the woman because He is the only one not born out of the seed of the man, the man being the first Adam.<br><br>When the mouth of God speaks, it is considered done.<br><br>Isaiah writes.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 58:1-5 "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. [2] Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. [3] Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. [4] Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. [5] Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?"<br><br>God did not recommend fasting for men to just afflict themselves and continue in their wickedness, but fasting was for men to die to all their efforts and all their senses so that God can move through them to others. They were angry at Jesus Christ when he healed on the Sabbath because they never understood the Sabbath.<br><br>Luke 6:6-9 &nbsp;"And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. [7] And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. [8] But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And He arose and stood forth. [9] Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?"<br><br>The Sabbath was to be a channel for God to flow through His people to others. That was exactly what Jesus Christ was doing on the Sabbath. They misunderstood the Sabbath. Therefore, they misunderstood the Lord of the Sabbath.<br><br>Luke 6:5 "And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."<br><br>Today, we understand that we do not fast to get close to God, but we fast so God can flow through us to others. We do not fast for ourselves, but we fast for others.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 58:6-10 "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? [7] Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? [8] Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. [9] Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; [10] And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:"<br><br>If we fast for others, then will our light shine bright, lifting up the ones who are down, loving those who have not yet tasted the love of God. Fasting is to make us representatives of God to other men and women.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 58:11-14 "And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. [12] And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. [13] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: [14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."<br><br>If we do not make the fasting about ourselves but for others, then the Lord promises to cause us to ride high. He will cause us to ride upon the high places of the earth and take territories for Him. His word, once spoken, shall never return to him void.<br><br>Be a channel through which God can flow. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. You were in his thoughts even before you were a seed in Adam in the garden of Eden, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

He believed the word of his wife, which was the word of the serpent. Every seed of Adam is a seed of adultery, a seed of falsehood. Satan is the head of the seed of Afam. When Adam fell, he lost his position as the head of that seed to Satan. Satan became the ruler of the earth. He had authority over the blood body of every seed. Through unbelief or spiritual darkness, every seed of Adam is led by Satan.<br><br>The believer is a seed of God. Through faith, they have died and risen with Christ to be seeds or children of God. They are the children of righteousness. They are different from the seeds of falsehood.<br><br>Isaiah describes the two.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 57:1-2 "The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. [2] He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness."<br><br>The righteous is a man or woman whose life is hidden in Christ. They are safe from the evil to come. The unbeliever doesn't see things this way. The unbeliever doesn't see the coming evil days, is blind to it. The unbeliever is blinded by unbelief.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br>Isaiah 57:3 "But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore."<br><br>God calls all to draw out of the seed of the first Adam, unto Him through death and resurrection with the second Adam.<br><br>Colossians 3:1-3 "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. [3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."<br><br>The only way out of the seed of the first Adam is through death and resurrection with Christ. This is how our new life become hidden with Christ in God.<br><br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 57:4-11 "Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, [5] Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks? [6] Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these? [7] Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice. [8] Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it. [9] And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell. [10] Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved. [11] And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?"<br><br>That's the diagnosis of everyone in the seed of the first Adam. Enflaming themselves with idols, going to the psychic, going to the witch doctor, with no knowledge of God.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 57:12-18 "I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee. [13] When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain; [14] And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people. [15] For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. [16] For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. [17] For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. [18] I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners."<br><br>God will not be contend with the unbeliever. If the unbeliever turns on their light of faith and believes the one that God has sent, then God will restore him and heal him. He will become a seed of God.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 57:19-21 "I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him. [20] But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. [21] There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked."<br><br>That wicked is the man who remains in the blood of the first Adam. There is no peace for him, says the Lord. They are like the troubled sea which cannot rest.<br><br>Become a seed of God. Believe and confess Jesus Christ, the blood seed of God, as we reveal Him from the first Adam, the fallen seed of God. It is through death and resurrection, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>
