Prophets

It is the job of the prophet to do what? Prophesize of course. In prophesizing they are foretelling a future, giving warnings, for what other reason is there for prophecy except to forewarn? They forewarn of something to come, something that will happen and sometimes they do so with the intent on hoping to change a course of action. By revealing the outcome if a certain course is kept they are also saying if another course is taken then the outcome may be different.

Prophets are messengers of God and some prophets foretold the future events many thousands of years ago and what they've spoken of had yet to come to pass while others have spoken and all they've said has come to pass.

Jesus even said this-

Luke {24:27} And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Luke {24:44} And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me.

John {6:43} Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
{6:44} No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
{6:45} It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.


His disciples said this-

John {1:45} Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

**
Do you see? Jesus was prophesized about and He even talked to His disciples about it, showing them in the scriptures all about the prophecy of Himself being realized.

Prophecy is important make no mistake about that, were even warned against false prophets.

Matthew {7:15} Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

1 John {4:1} Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Peter {2:1} But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Where there is false there is true.

The reason I'm mentioning all this about prophets is because Jeremiah was a prophet of God and in talking about the truth here's a few verses on what he had to say- it's all prophetic and so true. God's chosen people the Israelites were given so many chances to become truly right with God and over and over they went their own way. As people today, God's spiritual Israelites we too are in danger of going our own way. We can only truly be God's people, God's chosen if we love Him and do as He says to do, it's out of that love we live and living in that love by the mercy of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is so important.


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.
{5:2} And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
{5:3} 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.

Truth seekers.

God's eyes are upon the truth.

Are you a truth seeker?

We need to be truth seekers all of us. For God's eyes are upon the truth. God gives us the truth and we have to choose to walk in that truth. If we choose not to walk in that truth we are accountable for our actions. Is it easy to walk in the truth? No. Narrow is the way. It's a way that only a few will find in the grand scheme of thing and why is it so narrow and why will only a few find this path if Jesus' love is so amazing and so wonderful? If He is all forgiving and all loving then how will it be possible that only a few find the path to Him? It's because that path is a way of life not just an hour in the morning, not just an afternoon on a church bench, not just a couple hours in Bible study. The truth is a way of life. Jesus is that way. Does this mean that we all need to be monks in a matter of speaking? I say yes, but spiritual monks. Our day to day life no matter what we are doing has to be done in Christ, with Christ. We have to walk with him every moment of the day not set Him aside while we get on with life and pick Him up again at our convenience.

The truth.

Jesus is the truth. Living a life for Him, with Him is the truth.

We can't fool ourselves like God's chosen people of old did over and over and over, thinking that we can walk our own paths without God and expect to be His. We can't refuse to receive correction... we can't, not and expect to live with Him one day.

We have to seek the truth and when we find it, walk in it by the grace and mercy of Jesus.

The Third Epistle of John

3 John

{1:1} The elder unto the well beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
{1:2} Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
{1:3} For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
{1:4} I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Amen
