We are walking in today: God Is Looking For The One.
Jeremiah
5:1 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. 2) And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely. 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. In this verse, as in
those which follow, God shews that He was not
too rigid or too severe in denouncing utter ruin on His people, because
their wickedness was wholly incurable, and no other mode of treating
them could be found. We, indeed, know that it is often testified in
Scripture, that God is patient and waits until sinners repent. Since
then God everywhere extols His kindness, and promises to be merciful
even to the worst if they repent, and since He of His own accord
anticipates sinners, it may appear strange that He rises with so much
severity against His own church. But we know how refractory, the
ungodly are and hence they hesitate not to dispraise with God. How they
willfully accuse Him, as though He treated then with cruelty, it is
then that for this season, that God now shows that He was not, as it
were, at liberty to forgive the people; Even if I would, "He says, "I
could not". He speaks, indeed, after the manner of men; but in this
way,
as I have said, He shows that He tried all that He could, before He had
recourse to extreme severity, but that there was no remedy, on
account of the desperate wickedness of the people. And this is what the
words fully express. Go round, He says, through the streets of
Jerusalem, and see, I pray, and know; inquire through all the
cross-ways. Jeremiah, might have said in one sentence, "If one man be
found in the
city, I am ready to forgive: but God here permits the whole world to
inquire diligently and carefully what was the state of the holy city,
which ever gloried in that title. But He now, as also in the next
verse,
speaks of Jerusalem. He had spoken also of the neighboring cities; but
as the holiness of the whole land seemed then to have it's seat and
habitation at Jerusalem, God addresses that city, which as yet
retained some appearance of sanctity, and excelled other cities. He
then--say, inquire, see, know, look, whether there is a man etc. He
allows
here all men to form a judgement, as though He had said, let
all be present, since the Jews seek to create ill-will towards Me, and
complain of too much rigor, as though I treated them inhumanly; let all
who wish come as judges, let them inquire, ask, make a thorough search;
and when it shall be found out that there is not in it even one just
man, what else can be done, but that the city must be destroyed? For
what can be done to the abandoned and irreclaimable, except I execute My
judgement on them? We now understand the prophet objective, for he
intended here to shut the mouths of the Jews, and to expose their
slander. That they might not clamor against God or blame His
judgement--as though it exceeded the limits of moderation. And He shows
off so that God was disposed to pardon, that was yet no place for
pardon. Since there was not one man, in Jerusalem who had any regard of
God or uprightness. God is looking for one!!!!!!!!!
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: 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. He is looking for one!
Welcome to the overflow...
The word 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Amen, amen. He is looking for one! Hallelujah God! Thank You for showing up with Your presence. This is personal. If we don't repent what can God do?! He is still giving us time to repent. It is getting late in the evening, the sun in going down. Thank You God! Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you! Walk in this word today! Thank You Lord! He said that His ways are not our ways, nor are our thoughts like His thoughts. His thoughts are higher than the heavens. Thank You Jesus! There is still time to repent! We have gotta repent! It is a matter of life and death! He is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle, and we are the church! Hallelujah God! Stop getting caught up with what is going on in your life. The enemy wants to disguise your season. Get your mind back on God. No more worries about finances. We are to have no gods before Him! Be careful who you are making your god. Turn it all over to Him! Only Jesus is to sit on the throne of our hearts. Thank You God. He is looking for one. Let he who has ears to hear, let him hear! That alarm that is sounding off is in the supernatural. God is looking for the one. He is sending us a warning. If we don't warn them then their blood is on our hands. He is looking for the one! Thank you God! The truth will make you free! We once were blind but now we see! Thank You Jesus! Now we can see, because we have walked through so many scriptures! No more watered down messages. We shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. By the word of God, yolks are being broken. We must be suited up in the whole armor of God. To pray without ceasing. We want more of God and less of us. Hallelujah God! He is looking for one! Read the whole chapter of Jeremiah 5, He is looking for the one who will pray and not give up, so that He can pardon us! Keep getting up, fiveamprayer--He is looking for you! Don't be weary in well doing! Seek Him first, give Him your first fruits! Hallelujah God! Sound the alarm, He is looking for one! Come out from among them! You know the truth, come out! Jesus was not in walls, only. Come out from among them! Thank You God! Walk in this word today! Every Wednesday there will be seven people praying one the line. This day will be known on fiveamprayer as ..if My people who are called by My name.. from 2 Chronicles 7:14. Get ready for a mighty move of God! We must pray together in unity, where there is commanded blessings! Get ready for God to pour out blessings that there will not be room enough to receive! Thank You God! Have a great day!
