*...Falsely Proclaimed ...*

Back when Jeremiah was the prophet of God for Israel, during the reign of the foreign king Nebuchadnezzar, many so called prophets raised themselves to public knowledge and declared to have words of God. The people, being weakened in spirit due to their own voluntary worship of idles and false gods, found the message easier to accept than the message of Jeremiah, who had actually been sent by the true I Am.

No man can tell for certain if another is sent by God, unless He who sent him reveals the knowledge to the one who questions. Even Jeremiah heard the words of a self claimed prophet and rejoiced as recorded in verses 6-9 of Jeremiah ch28 which says, ...

"Amen! May the LORD do so; may the LORD make the words that you have prophesied come true, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the LORD, and all the exiles. Yet hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all these people. The prophets who proceeded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet."

Paul encouraged the churh in Thessalonica hundreds of years later from the time of Jeremiah and the problem with false prophecies. However, the same problem was among the members of the church. Paul's words reflect Jeremiah's in tone and emotion. Paul states in verses 19-21 of his first letter to the Thessalonians, ...

"Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good."

By testing, Paul is not talking about what Jesus said to satan when He said, Do not test the LORD your God. But rather, to test in the form of searching for an answer.

Jeremiah shares with Jerusalem, via letter, words of true encouragement which were given to him by God, ch29 verses 11-13...

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, and to give a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come pray to me, and I will hear you.
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."

The peace for which the previous self proclaimed prophet was not mention, for such was never intended to be given. In fact, this message tells us instead to hope and to seek Him. If peace was a promise then what need would there be to hope?

Going back to the story of the self proclaimed prophet, after Jeremiah had spoken his words thatt we read in verses 6-9 in ch28, the LORD speaks to him and reveals the truth of the one who proclaimed peace. In vs15-16, Jeremiah says...

"Listen, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, and you have made this people trust a lie. Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Behold, I will remove you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have uttered rebellion against the LORD.' "

In the next verse, it states the death of Hananiah.

In the recent month of my own life, I have been around people who believe teachings of a prophet. This prophet's name cannot be found in the Bible, but he wrote his own book which he claims is just as Holy. His followers believe in Salvation in the same respect as I, but believe in achieving said salvation through a similar format as you would find on a checklist. First and for most, and because of which I have listened to there words in accordance to the teaching of Mark 9:40 and repeated in Luke 9:50, they believe that you must claim Jesus as your savior. However, the next acceptance they would ask you to make is that of claiming the prophet in whom they trust was in fact a prophet because from then they like you to read the book he has written and completely believe it as you would the Bible.

Through all this, the words God gives us in ch29 of Jeremiah that say, "you will seek me and find me, when you seek me and find me with all your heart" is still a comfort comparable to none. His Son again reminds the people that if we seek then we shall find when He was among them, and thanks to the writers of ttheir time, we today also know of this comfort.

The purpose of this post is to spread awareness in the name of Jesus Christ, and through His teaching for which He died to fulfill. Remember when He said to Love your enemies as yourself.
We should not condemn, for it is not what we are meant to do. We were meant to love, and by Love we are saved. Thus, even when we feel as if something is terribly wrong, and something should be done, that something should be known to you as prayer. Seek Him with your whole heart and He will deliver you.

*...Hank of The Sinking Pit...*

Is it too much to ask for a peace of mind? As in the piece missing from mine. But I guess that's why I share my pain through telling a story of someone else......Once upon a time

There was a man named Hank. Hank spent the last 5yrs of his life in secret relationships, as in whoever the girl was he was seeing, she wasn't keen on letting everyone know that she was interested in Hank. This wasn't Hank's favorite feeling, to say the least.
In fact, it made him feel worse than yesterday's trash.
But helplessly, Hank was hopelessly attracted to attention and admiration of attractive young women....who can blame him?
So time and time again, despite the feeling he would get that would make him want to vomit up whatever it was he ate for dinner the previous night, he fell over and over again for tempting little vixens.

One girl he met promised him forever happiness ...he felt at peace.
Then she got bored and met someone new....
Another promised good times.... as long as he didn't come between her and her boyfriend..Hank had no part in that
Another girl want Hank so bad, and made him think she really did like him more than anyone else....but what she forgot to mention was she only wanted the touch of a man, and she got it, and then got it from 2 other men .......Hank felt like a used condem
One girl was shrouded in mystery, how they met, who she was, and especially what she wanted...Hank fell hard for Mystery ...but then the solution to the mystery eluded him and he was back to square one....
Over and over things happened this way. Hank began to develop an untrusting frame of mind even though it was against his overly trusting heart. He probably sttarted to think that if a girl really thought he was actually worth getting to know, then she'd be willing to do the work tto undo what he had been through...sure its a little unfair, but he figured it was unfair to be treated the way he had been by all the rest previously
And again, who could blame him

Soo, we leave Hank in a pit of his own making. A pit sunk deep by his growing paranoia of untrustfulness. Will Hank ever feel the confidence to climb out of this depression? Will someone come along and feel he may just be worth dropping a rope down to save? Who can be for certain...
Until a truth develops however, He shall remain...Hank of the Sinking Pit

Im a heap of troubled trash, I swore I said that before....i've honestly been working day and night looking for what it is im searching for...if I find it maybe I can reassure myself of some self confidence, but if I don't the garbage wont be enough to hide the scent of doubt

All these words choke up around my tongue and clog my throat. My stomach aches as if it has been neglected for days going on weeks.....my knees are weak, my fingers shake with a cold shiver... I turn off all the lights and huddle in the corner of my now dark room, curled up in a bundle of blankets searching for warmth where my body cannot attain it itself. My heart used to be a furnace fueled by happy lively thoughts that radiated comfort through and around my chest...but now...now there's something missing...where's the fuel gone to?

You say its ok, you say don't worry
This is just my shoulder face
Wearing it out on my sleeves leaves my heart open to thieves
But its my chance to take, its my chance to take

Can we talk it over? Can you not play dead? I swear this mirror is so mundane, why can't I look myself face to face, who do I think I am? Who do I expectt to change?

You say its ok, you say don't worry
This is just my shoulder face
Wearing it out on my sleeve leaves my heart open to thieves
But its my chance to take, its my chance tto take

And just to be honest, you've always played victim to my fondest attention, and may i mention, I've tasted the tension, danced on the fences, and swindled intentions ...ur the victim of my wishes
