Jeremiah 23-25
Jeremiah 23
The Righteous Branch
1 (Jer 10:21; 2:8) Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep
of My pasture! says the Lord.
2 (Ex 32:34) Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel against the shepherds
that feed My people: You have scattered My flock and driven them away
and have not visited them. I am about to punish you
for the evil of your deeds, says the Lord.
3 (Jer 32:37; 29:14) I will gather the remnant of My flock
out of all countries wherever I have driven them and bring them again
to their folds, and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 (1Pe 1:5) I will also set up shepherds over them who will feed them;
and they will fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor will they be missing,
says the Lord.
5 (Isa 4:2; 9:7; 11:1-5) The days are coming, says the Lord,
that I will raise up for David a righteous Branch,
and he shall reign as king and deal wisely,
and shall execute justice and righteousness in the earth.
6 (1Co 1:30; Isa 9:6; Jer 33:16) In his days Judah will be saved,
and Israel will dwell safely.
And this is the name by which he will be called:
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 (Jer 16:14-15; Isa 43:18-19) Therefore, surely the days are coming,
says the Lord, when they will no more say, "As the Lord lives
who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,"
8 (Isa 43:5-6; Am 9:14-15) but, "As the Lord lives who brought up
and led the descendants of the house of Israel out of the north country
and from all countries where I had driven them."
Then they will dwell in their own land.
Lying Prophets
9 (Hab 3:16) My heart is broken within me,
because of the prophets;
all my bones shake;
I am like a drunken man,
like a man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord,
and because of His holy words.
10 (Ps 107:34; Jer 9:2) For the land is full of adulterers;
for the land mourns because of the curse.
The pleasant places of the wilderness have dried up.
And their course is evil
and their might is not right.
11 (Jer 6:13; Zep 3:4) For both prophet and priest are profane;
indeed, in My house I have found their wickedness,
says the Lord.
12 (Ps 35:6; Jer 11:23) Therefore their way will be as slippery ways to them;
they shall be driven into the darkness
and fall in it;
for I will bring disaster upon them,
even the year of their punishment,
says the Lord.
13 (Jer 2:8; Isa 9:16) In addition, I have seen folly
in the prophets of Samaria.
They prophesied by Baal
and caused My people Israel to err.
14 (Isa 1:9-10; Jer 29:23) I have seen also among the prophets of Jerusalem
a horrible thing.
They commit adultery and walk in lies.
They also strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one repents from his wickedness.
All of them are as Sodom to Me
and her inhabitants as Gomorrah.
15 (Jer 8:14; 9:15) Therefore thus says the Lord of Hosts concerning the prophets:
"I will feed them with wormwood
and make them drink the water of gall,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
profaneness has gone out into all the land."
16 (Jer 14:14; 27:9-10) Thus says the Lord of Hosts:
Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They lead you into vanity;
they speak a vision of their own heart
and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 (Mic 3:11; Jer 8:11; 13:10) They still say to those who despise Me,
"The Lord has said, 'You will have peace'";
and they say to everyone who walks after the imagination of his own heart,
"No evil will come upon you."
18 (Jer 23:22; 1Co 2:16) For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord
and has perceived and heard His word?
Who has given heed to His word and listened to it?
19 (Jer 25:32; 30:23) Look, a whirlwind of the Lord
has gone forth in fury,
a tempestuous whirlwind.
It will fall tempestuously upon the head of the wicked.
20 (Jer 30:24; Ge 49:1; Zec 1:6) The anger of the Lord will not turn back
until He has executed and performed
the thoughts of His heart.
In the latter days
you will understand it perfectly.
21 (Jer 14:14; 27:15) I have not sent these prophets,
yet they ran.
I have not spoken to them,
yet they prophesied.
22 (Jer 23:18; 25:5) But if they had stood in My counsel
and had caused My people to hear My words,
then they would have turned them from their evil way
and from the evil of their deeds.
23 (Ps 139:1-10) Am I a God who is near,
says the Lord,
and not a God far off?
24 (1Ki 8:27; Job 22:13-14) Can a man hide himself in secret places
so that I do not see him?
says the Lord.
Do I not fill heaven and earth?
says the Lord.
25 (Jer 23:28; 23:32) I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy
lies in My name, saying, "I had a dream, I had a dream!"
26 (1Ti 4:1-2) How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who
prophesy lies? Indeed, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart,
27 (Jdg 3:7; 8:33-34) who plan to cause My people to forget My name
by their dreams, which they tell to their neighbor, as their fathers have
forgotten My name for Baal.
28 (1Co 3:12-13) The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream.
And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat? says the Lord.
29 (Jer 5:14; 20:9) Is not My word like fire, says the Lord,
and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
30 (Dt 18:20; Ps 34:16) See, therefore I am against the prophets,
says the Lord, who steal My words, each from his neighbor.
31 (Jer 23:17) See, I am against the prophets, says the Lord, who use
their tongues and say, "The Lord says."
32 (Jer 7:8; La 2:14) See, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,
says the Lord, and recount them and cause My people to err by their lies
and reckless boasting. Yet I sent them not nor commanded them.
Therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says the Lord.
False Prophecy
33 (Mal 1:1; Isa 13:1) When this people or the prophet or a priest asks you,
saying, "What is the oracle of the Lord?" you shall then say to them,
"What oracle? I will forsake you, says the Lord."
34 As for the prophet and the priest and the people who say,
"The oracle of the Lord," I will punish that man and his house.
35 Thus each of you will say to his neighbor and to his brother,
"What has the Lord answered?" and, "What has the Lord spoken?"
36 (2Pe 3:16; 2Ki 19:4) And the oracle of the Lord you shall mention
no more, for every man's word will be his oracle.
For you have perverted the words of the living God,
of the Lord of Hosts our God.
37 Thus you will say to that prophet, "What has the Lord answered you?"
and, "What has the Lord spoken?"
38 But if you say, "The oracle of the Lord"; therefore thus says the Lord:
Because you say this word, "The oracle of the Lord," I have also sent to you,
saying, You shall not say, "The oracle of the Lord."
39 (Jer 23:33; Eze 8:18) Therefore, surely, I, even I, will utterly forget you
and cast you and the city that I gave you and your fathers out of My presence.
40 (Jer 20:11; Eze 5:14-15) And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you
and perpetual shame which shall not be forgotten.
Jeremiah 24
The Good and Bad Figs
1 (Jer 29:2; 2Ch 36:10) The Lord showed me two baskets of figs that were
set before the temple of the Lord after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah,
and the officials of Judah with the carpenters and smiths from Jerusalem
and brought them to Babylon.
2 (Isa 5:4; 5:7) One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that
are first ripe, and the other basket had very rotten figs,
which were so rotten they could not be eaten.
3 (Am 8:2; Zec 4:2) Then the Lord said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?"
And I said, "Figs, the good figs, very good. And the rotten, very rotten,
that are so rotten they cannot be eaten."
4 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 (Na 1:7; Zec 13:9) Thus says the Lord the God of Israel:
Like these good figs, so I will acknowledge those who are carried away captive
of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans
for their good.
6 (Jer 29:10; 42:10) For I will set My eyes upon them for good,
and I will bring them again to this land. And I will build them up
and not pull them down. And I will plant them and not pluck them up.
7 (Jer 30:22; Heb 8:10) I will give them a heart to know Me,
that I am the Lord; and they will be My people, and I will be their God,
for they will return to Me with their whole heart.
8 (Jer 24:2; 43:1-44:1) But as the rotten figs, which cannot be eaten,
they are so rotten, says the Lord, so I will forsake Zedekiah
the king of Judah and his officials, and the rest of Jerusalem
who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.
9 (Jer 15:4; 29:18) And I will make them a horror
and an evil to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a reproach
and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places wherever I shall drive them.
10 (Isa 51:19; Eze 5:12-17) I will send the sword, the famine,
and the pestilence among them until they are consumed from
off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
Jeremiah 25
Seventy Years of Captivity
1 (Jer 36:1; 2Ki 24:1-2) The word that came to Jeremiah concerning
all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah,
king of Judah, that was the first year of NebÂuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
2 (Jer 18:11) which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah
and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3 (Jer 1:2; 11:7) From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon,
king of Judah, even to this day, these 23 years the word of the Lord
has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking,
but you have not listened.
4 (Jer 25:3; 26:5) The Lord has sent to you all His servants the prophets,
rising early and sending them, but you have not listened nor inclined
your ear to hear.
5 (Jer 7:7; Ge 17:8) They said, "Turn now again everyone from his evil way
and from the evil of your deeds, and dwell in the land that the Lord has
given to you and to your fathers forever and ever.
6 (Dt 8:19; 6:14) And do not go after other gods to serve them
and to worship them, and provoke Me not to anger
with the works of your hands; and I will do you no harm."
7 (2Ki 21:15; Dt 32:21) Yet you have not listened to Me, says the Lord,
that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands
to your own harm.
8 Therefore thus says the Lord of Hosts: Because you have not obeyed My words,
9 (Jer 1:15; 18:16) I will send and take all the families of the north,
says the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant,
and will bring them against this land and its inhabitants,
and against all these surrounding nations; I will utterly destroy them,
and make them an astonishment, a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 (Jer 7:34; Eze 26:13) Moreover I will take from them the voice of laughter
and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice
of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the candle.
11 (Da 9:2; 2Ch 36:21-22) This whole land shall be a desolation
and an astonishment, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon
seventy years.
12 (Isa 13:19; Jer 29:10) It shall come to pass when seventy years
are finished that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation,
says the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans,
and will make it perpetual desolations.
13 (Jer 1:5; 1:10) I will bring upon that land all My words
which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book,
which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 (Jer 51:6; 27:7; 50:9) For many nations and great kings will make
slaves of them, even them. And I will recompense them according
to their deeds and according to the works of their hands.
The Cup of God's Wrath
15 (Ps 75:8; Isa 51:17) For thus says the Lord God of Israel to me:
Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand and cause all the nations
to whom I send you to drink it.
16 (Na 3:11; Jer 51:7) They will drink, and totter, and be mad,
because of the sword that I will send among them.
17 (Jer 1:10; 25:28) Then I took the cup from the hand of the Lord
and made all the nations, to whom the Lord had sent me, drink:
18 (Ps 60:3; Jer 24:9) Jerusalem and thecities of Judah and the kings
and the officials, to make them a desolation, an astonishment,
a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
19 (Jer 46:2; 46:13-26) Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants,
and his officials, and all his people;
20 (Job 1:1; Isa 20:1) and all the foreign people, and all the kings
of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines
(even Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod);
21 (Jer 48:1-49:22; Ps 137:7)Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
22 (Jer 47:4) and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon,
and the kings of the coastlands which are beyond the sea;
23 (Jer 9:26; 49:8) Dedan, and Tema, and Buz,
and all who cut the corners of their hair;
24 (2Ch 9:14; Jer 25:20) and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings
of the foreign people who dwell in the desert;
25 (Ge 10:22; Isa 11:11) and all the kings of Zimri,
and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26 (Jer 51:41; 25:9) and all the kings of the north, far and near,
one with another; and all the kingdoms of the earth
which are upon the face of the earth,
and the king of Sheshak shall drink after them.
27 (Jer 25:16; Hab 2:16) Therefore you shall say to them,
Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:
Drink and be drunk and spew and fall and rise no more because
of the sword which I will send among you.
28 (Job 34:33) It will be, if they refuse to take the cup
from your hand to drink, then you will say to them:
Thus says the Lord of Hosts: You shall certainly drink!
29 (Pr 11:31; Eze 38:21) For I am starting to bring calamity
on the city which is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished?
You shall not be unpunished. For I will call for a sword upon
all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of Hosts.
30 (Joel 3:16; Am 1:2) Therefore prophesy against them all these words,
and say to them:
The Lord will roar from on high,
and utter His voice from His holy habitation;
He will mightily roar against His fold.
He will give a shout, as those who tread the grapes,
against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 (Hos 4:1; Joel 3:2) A noise shall come even
to the remote parts of the earth,
for the Lord has a controversy with the nations;
He shall enter into judgment with all flesh.
He shall give those who are wicked to the sword,
says the Lord.
32 (Jer 23:19; Isa 34:2) Thus says the Lord of Hosts:
See, disaster shall go forth
from nation to nation,
and a great whirlwind shall be raised up
from the remote parts of the earth.
33 (Isa 66:16; Ps 79:3) The slain of the Lord on that day will be
from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth.
They will not be lamented or gathered or buried.
They will be as dung on the ground.
34 (Jer 6:26) Howl, you shepherds, and cry;
and wallow in the ashes, you leaders of the flock.
For the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished;
and you will fall like a choice vessel.
35 (Job 11:20; Am 2:14) The shepherds will have no way to flee,
nor the leaders of the flock to escape.
36 (Jer 4:8) A voice of the cry of the shepherds
and a howling of the leaders of the flock shall be heard,
for the Lord has devastated their pasture.
37 (Isa 27:10-11) The peaceable habitations are cut down
because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 (Jer 4:7; 5:6) He has left His lair as the lion;
for their land is desolate
because of the fierceness of the oppressor
and because of His fierce anger.

Psalm 85
Psalms 85
For the Music Director. A Psalm of the songs of Korah.
1 Lord, You have been favorable to Your land;
You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people;
You have covered all their sin. Selah
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) You have withdrawn all Your wrath;
You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Restore us, O God of our salvation,
and put away Your indignation towardus.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Will You be angry with us forever?
Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Will You not revive us again,
that Your people may rejoice in You?
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Show us Your mercy, O Lord,
and grant us Your deliverance.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will hear what God the Lord will speak,
for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints,
but let them not turn again to folly.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Surely His salvation is near to them who fear Him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Mercy and truth have met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Truth springs from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12 Yes, the Lord gives that which is good,
and our land shall yield its increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before Him
and prepare a way for His footsteps.
"Come at once. We have struck a berg." Those were the first words
Harold Cottam, the wireless operator on the RMS Carpathia,
received from the sinking RMS Titanic at 12:25 a.m. on April 15, 1912.
The Carpathia would be the first ship to the disaster scene, saving 706 lives.
In the US Senate hearings days later, the Carpathia's captain Arthur Rostron
testified, "The whole thing was absolutely providential. . . . The wireless
operator was in his cabin at the time, not on official business at all,
but just simply listening as he was undressing. . . .
In ten minutes maybe he would have been in bed,
and we would not have heard the message."
Listening matters-especially listening to God. The writers of Psalm 85,
the sons of Korah, urged attentive obedience when they wrote,
“I will hear what God the Lord will speak,
for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints,
but let them not turn again to folly.
Surely His salvation is near to them who fear Him,
that glory may dwell in our land.†(vv. 8–9).
Their admonition is especially poignant because their ancestor Korah
had rebelled against God
and had perished in the wilderness (Numbers 16:1–35).
The night the Titanic sank, another ship was much closer,
but its wireless operator had gone to bed. Had he heard the distress signal,
perhaps more lives would have been saved. When we listen to God
by obeying His teaching, He'll help us navigate
even life's most troubled waters.

3) From The Billy Graham Evangelical Ministry Association
Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools
Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 5 - God Loved, So He Gave
John 3:16-17
16 (Ro 5:8; 1Jn 4:9–10; Jn 1:18) "For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
17 (1Jn 4:14; Lk 19:10) For God did not send His Son into
the world to condemn the world, but that the world
through Him might be saved."
Often called "the gospel in a nutshell", John 3:16 is so familiar,
even the unchurched, that it has all but lost its impact for us.
WE cite it by rote, as if it had no more meaning than a SSN (SIN),
and think that we understand the truth becuase we know the words.
Why did God send Jesus, his only Son, into the world to die?
Because he loved the people he created. God had no reason,
humanly speaking, to love mankind. Throughout history, from
the Garden of Eden forward, people had deliberately turned
against God and tried his patience. Even the nation God chose
for himself, Israel rebelled againt the Lord and turned to other gods.
And we, as individuals, have rebelled against him too. WE have tried
to control our own lives; we have denied his reality; or
acknowledged his existence and then systematically ignored him.
We have become our own gods.
Yet Christ, in love, took upon himself the rejection, the humiliation,
the pain we were responsible for. We deserved to be condemned to die,
but he died for us instead. "God did not send his Son into the world
to condemn the world," John 3:17 says, "but to save the world through him."
Often, even after we have committed our lives to Christ, we mistakenly
suppose that God's primary purpose is to condemn us - to catch us in sin
and punish us. But God says that his purpose is to love us and to save us
from sin and ourselves. He loved, and so he gave; he still loves us,
and he still continues to give.
Application
a) What sin in my life put Jesus on the cross?
b) How do I know that my sins has been forgiven?
c) How can these verses help me when I face condemnation and guilt?
4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland
Deut 8:18
18 But you must remember the Lord your God,
for it is He who gives you the ability to get wealth,
so that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers,
as it is today.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are lonely
PSALMS 25:15-21
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
for He will lead my feet from the net.
16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me,
for I am isolated and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.
18 Look on my pain and misery,
and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many,
and they hate me with violent hatred.
20 Watch over my life, and deliver me!
Let me not suffer shame,
for I seek refuge in You.
21 Truth and integrity will preserve me
while I wait for You.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
New Brunswick
Total population 753900
Muslim population (est.) 4543
Moncton, followed by Fredericton and Saint John, each have a growing Muslim
population in New Brunswick, In 2007, the buliding that was formerly a Baptist
chruch was converted into Moncton's 1st mosque. The University of Moncton
also has a Muslim studentt association hosting prayer services, fellowship
getherings, and outreaches on campus.
Fredericton also has one mosque and a Muslim student assoication serving the
campusus of the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University.
Fredericton's MUslim population consists in 2014 of about 50 families,
and between 300 to 400 university students.
Saint John is home to the 1st Muslim Association for the province,
which also helped foster the Islamic asociations of Fredericton and Moncton.
a 'musalla', or prayer location that is not officially structured as a mosque,
has been established in the Uptown area with the intention of seeing it grow
into a 2nd official place of Muslim worship. Demand for this new location has
been primarily for university students moving into the area.
Pray for Muslims and New Brunswick
- that the eyes of pastors, believers and entire congregations will be opened
to see this growing body of Muslims, and their hearts will be opened
to sharing God's love in JEsus Christ with them
- that intentional ministries to Muslims will grow and flourish in these
areas of concentration
- that cooperative CNNMM Networks will form to really, encourage,
and equip believers to lovingly reach Muslims in this province.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"

Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'

house."
Ideas for prayer

Christ among Muslim people -

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
