— “RUN, that ye may obtain” (1 Corinthians 9:24) – Learning to run the right way lest we waste our lives and be found wanting in the end. 

Why did the LORD ask this following question to His servant Jeremiah when Jeremiah had complained about the small afflictions he was suffering at the hands of rebellious people who claimed to be God’s people? – “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?” (Jeremiah 12:5) In this podcast we are going to explore the answer to this question and how this applies to us.

It seems the LORD was saying to His servant, prophet Jeremiah: “In order for me to raise you upward to new heights in my will and work, you must first die downward and change, ammend your attitude.”

Like David, during a time of distress, Jeremiah sought the LORD by getting in His Word and was greatly refreshed and reestablished.

“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.” Jeremiah 15:16

The answer to so many if not most of our problems in this life are solved and/or in the least soothed as we get lost in God’s Word. Personally I like to call the words of God on record in the Bible, His healing oil or the healing oil of Heaven!

No individual will be used of God further than he has allowed the Great Potter to mold and prepare him through a daily walk – the daily cross Jesus commanded (Luke 9:23-24). Greater battles lie just ahead and it’s only those true disciples who prepare themselves now – beginning today – who will be “prepared unto every good work” ahead (2 Timothy 2:21).

“IF (conditional) a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21

Are you submitted to the LORD today? If so, He is making you to be “a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.”

Are you being “prepared” of the LORD today?

For the moment, we live “in the land of peace” and yet great judgments and trials are coming on this sinful land. Those who are “at ease in Zion,” refusing to truly lay down their lives, will be destroyed in the season that lies ahead. Read Amos 6 and Revelation 3:14-21.

“And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Joshua 3:5

It’s only as we “sanctify” ourselves today that “to morrow the LORD will do wonders” in and through our lives.

Prayerfully read Ephesians 4 for all it’s worth to learn of the LORD’s plan to mature His blessed body.

FEEDBACK:

“Love Footmen and Horses brother!  Good news!  Love in Christ.” Dar

“A really interesting thing happened this a.m.. I had opened my tablet to go to a certain site, and as I was navigating to it “Footmen and Horses” popped up on the screen from the sgys site!! So, of course I had to read it. What a blessing! God is good. May the Lord bless you today in extra special and meaningful ways today. ?” Debbie Lord

Abiding Under the Shadow of the Almighty [podcast]


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:  Jeremiah 15:15-16

Dwelling “in the secret place of the most High”

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2  I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Psalms 91:1-2

“In the secret place of the Most High – Spoken probably in reference to the Holy of holies. He who enters legitimately there shall be covered with the cloud of God’s glory – the protection of the all-sufficient God. This was the privilege of the high priest only, under the law: but under the new covenant all believers in Christ have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus; and those who thus enter are safe from every evil.” Adam Clarke

“[Psalms] 91:1, 2 Jesus is the One who in a preeminent way dwelt in the secret place of the Most High, and abode under the shadow of the Almighty. There never was a life like His. He lived in absolute, unbroken fellowship with God, His Father. He never acted in self-will but did only those things that the Father directed. Though He was perfect God, He was also perfect Man, and He lived His life on earth in utter and complete dependence on God. Without equivocation He could look up and say, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

Attend to My Words [podcast]


IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.

“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130

ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.

The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8 

“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23

“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.” Jeremiah 15:16

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine
