[My awesome, loving and wonderful Grandchildren, and Annika and Kaleigh, whom I love and pray for every day:“They have turned their back to Me (God) and not their face; though I taught them, TEACHING AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN and receive instruction.” (Jer. 32:33)
God is speaking to Jeremiah about the years and years of Israel’s disobedience and is getting ready to turn them over to 70 years of captivity in Babylon because they would not listen to the Lord…Oh, how important it is for us to LISTEN TO AND OBEY the word of the Lord! if we do not listen to the Lord, the devil (the thief) will try to pull us away…
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I CAME THAT THEY MAY HAVE 1LIFE, and have it 2ABUNDANTLY. “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” (John 10:10-11) 1zóé: the absolute fullness of life, which belongs to God, 2perissos: over and above, much more than could be imagined.
The devil tries to steal our confidence in God, then kill our faith, which will destroy our relationship with the Lord, but Jesus has come that we may have LIFE! A life we live in Him, that is so much better than we could ever imagine. So, we must resist the devil and He will flee from us…
SUBMIT YOURSELVES TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILLFLEE FROM YOU. DRAW NEAR TO GOD, AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU.
Notice: […We must understand that the bible says:] “I CAME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, and have it ABUNDANTLY...”!!!] That’s for you: Stephanie, Ethan, Camden, Olivia, Aidan, Landon, Kinsley, Annika and Kaleigh
