Be Careful How You Choose

Brothers and Sisters we have a huge problem. There are two sides to every story and we are living at the crossroads where choices need to be made. Some say we have to choose the lesser of two evils which is true because both have problems and sins. One is speaking mostly by himself with advice from others while the other is being completely manipulated by others with an agenda that is not of God. We read Revelation and see that there are two parts to the being that is not of God and this is what we are currently fighting. 
Beware the Vile Tongue
God’s Word tells us to watch out for those with vile tongues. We have a group who promise the world and produce nothing but for themselves and their greedy desires while making the other seem like the bad guy. They have been deceptive and use people to make themselves look good.
The Book of Jeremiah takes place at a crossroads event for Judah and the People of Jerusalem. God did not want to punish the people but He left them no choice because they chose the direction that led away from God. Right now we are in a place where Good is evil and evil is good. This has been brewing for decades but came to fruition 12 years ago when God’s Word was challenged in the highest court in the USA which allowed so many biblical and universal laws to be set aside appeasing a nation of people who cared not for God but for their own human desires. Let’s look at a portion of Jeremiah 7: 
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the Lord. 3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place. 4 Do not trust in these deceptive words: ‘This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.’
5 “For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, 6 if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm, 7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.
8 “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. 9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations? 11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord. 12 Go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these things, declares the Lord, and when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and when I called you, you did not answer, 14 therefore I will do to the house that is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast out all your kinsmen, all the offspring of Ephraim.
For those that do not know, worship of Baal included child sacrifice which we call abortion today.
Place Your Trust in God Alone
So many people put their trust in someone who speaks with a slit tongue and has his minions obedient to his every word. He has people who really have no clue endorsing him because they made a deal and are getting rich from lies and falsehoods while being able to continue their unwholesome lives. These people convinced the masses that destruction, murder, and immoralities are okay even of their own selves.  
16 “As for you, do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you. 17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven. And they pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger. 19 Is it I whom they provoke? declares the Lord. Is it not themselves, to their own shame? 20 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, upon man and beast, upon the trees of the field and the fruit of the ground; it will burn and not be quenched.”
God destroyed the earth and gave new birth to it once before with a flood of water. God used fire to get the attention of the Jews. Now He is cleansing the whole earth through pestilence and letting nature cleanse itself. What we have seen so far is only the beginning to catch our attention and change our ways. Our reliance has to be on He who created us. Our worship only to Him. We cannot depend on grace or faith alone but have an active faith of service. We must have a truthful and non backsliding repentance on and in our hearts, otherwise we are doomed. 
21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. 22 For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23 But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’ 24 But they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward. 
God’s Word is Law
God Gave Adam certain rules to live by after the Fall. He added the allowance to eat meat after Noah. God did not command eating the sacrificed animal until He gave the Statutes which coincided with the Moral and Ethical Laws as well as the Feasts. God first required Obedience to His direction to remove them safely from Egypt and they did not get that right. The generation that followed had inclined their ear and obeyed so they were allowed into the Promised Land.
25 From the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day. 26 Yet they did not listen to me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.
How many times do we who share His Word have to speak clearly for people to understand. There are moments where many are given into a bad time in order to be awakened to their duty to God. Some never wake up, some wake up but it would be too late. Society today talks about woke people but who are they? These woke up to an earthly, worldly truth and have forgotten what God desires. They have been put back to sleep under the spell of the world and will wake up in a nightmare because they cannot follow 7 simple rules. 
1. Do not deny God (no idolatry).
2. Do not murder (self explanitory).
3. Do not steal (including lying and cheating).
4. Do not engage in sexual immorality (Every immoral behavior from inscest to extra marital affairs, homosexual relationships and pedophelia).
5. Do not blaspheme (do not use God’s name in vain nor put words in God’s mouth).
6. Do not eat of a live animal (no eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive).
7. Establish courts and legal systems to ensure obedience of these laws.
Follow these and we will live. Return to God through repentance and God will bring peace. Be prepared as the only way to true peace is through battle which many will not survive. 
Brothers and Sisters I care deeply for each of you and do not want to see anyone fall further and be in the absence of God. Love one another Just as God Loves you. Share His Word and give of yourselves (more than just money).
