The people of Israel often lost sight of the God who brought them out of captivity and slavery in Judah. If it happened to them, let us me cautious that we ourselves do not fall into the temptations of idolatry. Accord within yourself, to not go to other gods (whiich are evil spirits), because you have a Heavenly Father who is able to provide for all of your needs, give you joy, and give you peace. Today we look at a case study in Jeremiah 44 looking into the application of God's word on his own people.

I really should have known this!

I really should have known about the Holy Spirit's formal job description as found in John 16:7-13. This is the type of passage that I probably have glossed over in the past but today as I read the Jesus' words about the Holy Spirit I was shocked. The Holy Spirit's whole job is to basically breath life into the Gospel, the Good News we are called to share! How did I not understand this? Well, I'm sharing what the Lord revealed to me today. <a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/john/16-7.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">7&nbsp;</a>But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.<a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/john/16-8.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">8&nbsp;</a>When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:<a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/john/16-9.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">9&nbsp;</a>about sin, because people do not believe in me;<a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/john/16-10.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">10&nbsp;</a>about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;<a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/john/16-11.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">11&nbsp;</a>and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.<a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/john/16-12.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">12&nbsp;</a>“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.<a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/john/16-13.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">13&nbsp;</a>But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. Message me at closertoyoulord@proton.me

Idolatry is the worship of false gods. And there are many types of false gods but they have no authority in the presence of the King of kings and Lord of lords. Here, we examine a case study of a false god who couldn't show his face when the Lord God came on the scene. The Heavenly Father wants to come into your heart, but he will not abide in alters to false Gods wheather they be idols, doctines of evil, worship and excursians into the supernatural realms and more. Let all false idols go, God wants to restore you, accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
