Transcripts
you've been asking God is this person
the one over and over and over again and
today God is going to give you an answer
from his word we are going to turn to
Jeremiah 37 and we're going to start at
verse
16 and to give you a little context
Jeremiah was a prophet who came to the
king of Israel and he told him in a
scroll he wrote it in a scroll three
times that the king of Babylon was going
to come and burn the city with fire and
and take him captive
but King zedekiah did not want to hear
it and so he burned each scroll three
times in the fire finally he didn't want
to hear Jeremiah's words anymore and he
put him in the dungeon and actually what
the word of God says is he went into the
Meyer in the dungeon he sunk into Meer
which is dirt and it could have been
feces but he was there for
days and King
zedekiah ended up going to see Jeremiah
secretly to see if he would get a word
from the Lord that was different from
the word that he had given him three
times
already when Jeremiah was entered into
the dungeon verse 16 and into the cabins
and Jeremiah had remained there many
days then zedekiah the king sent and
took him
out the king asked him
secretly is there any word from the Lord
and I'm going to stop right there he
knew that Jeremiah Was was a true
prophet of the
Lord he knew that he really heard from
God and Jeremiah said there is for said
he you shall be delivered into the hand
of the king of Babylon he's like the
same message is the same message this is
it moreover Jeremiah said unto King
zedekiah what have I offended you or
against your servants or against this
people that you have put me in
prison sometimes it's not that somebody
doesn't like you it's that it's not that
somebody's rejecting you it's that they
rejecting the Holy Spirit within you and
they're mistreating you because you
convict them what you say is true and it
rings true and they've been in darkness
walking in darkness so long that your
light that is the holy spirit in you he
says you're the light of the
world when you walk into a room where
somebody's been in there for so long and
it's dark you are irritating to their
eyes it's like too much light they don't
want to hear the conviction of the Holy
Spirit and your presence convicts
them so don't take it personal but he
then says here in verse 19 where are now
your prophets which prophesied unto you
saying the king of Babylon shall not
come against you nor against this land
King zedekiah was listening to all these
other prophets that were false prophets
that came to tickle his ears the Bible
says that in the latter days in the last
days many will go to to uh false
teachers to hear encouraging words all
the time words that tickle the ears to
hear what they want to hear and you have
been going from friend to friend to
friend uh neighbor family member asking
them hey is this what do you think about
this person telling them the story
leaving out certain parts telling them
only the good of this
person and you know they're giving you
good word they're like oh peace peace
you know like like a false prophet peace
peace everything's going to be be great
yeah I and I support you and you stick
with them but the friends that have told
you and the family members that have
told you over and over and over again
hey this person is not the right person
for you they're they're not emotionally
invested like you are they are outside
the box they are able to see clearly
what's going on
here and God often just like he used
prophets in the Old Testament he is
using people in your life right now to
warn you time and time again and
you have want you have sought you two
prophets Kingdom spouse prophets
Okay and like I said I'm not saying
every single Prophet on YouTube is not
credible there are credible prophets but
prophets true prophets of the Lord will
point you to Christ uh they won't have
you fixated or obsessed with Kingdom
spouse they will uh you know tell you
what you need to hear not just what you
want to hear
and ultimately you need to bring every
prophetic word before the Lord
but you've been going to Kingdom spouse
prophets on YouTube you've been going to
those friends that do are okay with you
know this relationship and you've
shunned your family and your friends
that have told you the truth that you
don't want to hear like zedekiah you put
them
in the dungeon you don't want to hear
them and what happened to King zedekiah
okay he ended up getting caught by the
king of Babylon and getting his eyes
gged
out what was happening there is it was a
physical manifestation of what was
happening in the spiritual he was
choosing to be
Blind and Physically he became
blind you are choosing to be blind and
I'm going to go into that a little bit
more but in verse
14 of chapter 1 38 Jeremiah 38:14 it
says then zedekiah the king sent and
took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into
the third entry that is in the house of
the Lord and the King said unto Jeremiah
I will ask you a thing hide nothing from
me so he's coming a second time secretly
to Jeremiah to ask for a different
word then Jeremiah said unto zedekiah if
I declare it to you will you not surely
put me to death and if I give you advice
will you not listen to me he's saying
why are you even coming to me for
advice you're not going to
listen you've been coming to God asking
for a different
word trying to force God or manipulate
God to tell you this person is a one and
they're not because you love them
because you have this chemistry with
them because of all these different
things and the fact is is
that that's not what you know you should
determine whether this person is for you
or
not
so
today I'm going to just open your eyes
if this person is saying all the right
things but not doing all the right
things the Bible says that the simple
believe every word but a prudent man
looks to his
ways what does that mean you don't
believe every single word that comes out
of somebody's mouth what happened to Eve
she lent her the the first mistake that
Eve made in the Garden of Eden was she
lent her ear to the devil she listened
to that persuasive serpent she shouldn't
have even
listened and this person has persuaded
you so much told you all the right
things the devil can say all the right
things the devil can tell you what you
want to hear but he's still the
devil the Devil Comes as an angel of
Light and he and it says in his word
that his servants masquerade themselves
as as Servants of righteousness
Ministers of
righteousness and you think that this
person is just an
angel and you give them the benefit of
the doubt time and time again when they
show you who you are you got to believe
them you can't just believe their
words empty
promises God and and and this is this is
an issue of your selfworth at the end of
the day because you don't believe that
you'll ever find anybody that loves you
or is attracted to you or whatever to
the degree that this person is and let
me tell you you're
wrong you're wrong because God has
somebody for you if you will walk in his
will now some people are called to
singleness yes Paul was given the gift
of singleness
absolutely
but uh most people have the gift of
marriage okay because God said it's not
good for men to be alone but also he
said it's better to marry than to
burn and most of us deal with lust so
yeah it's the Bible says it's good for
every man to have a wife and a wife to
have every woman or every yeah every
woman to have a husband and every man to
have a
wife because of fornication because of
sexual
immorality so God has somebody for you
but you got to walk in his will you got
to prepare yourself to be that cuz only
a godly man is going to attract a Godly
woman only a Godly woman is going to
attract a godly man you can't just be
sitting here thinking oh yeah you no and
and and God when are you going to bring
this person but you're not even working
on it yourself like God is you know an
Aaron boy and he's just going to bring
you you know like Amazon he's going to
drop her in your lap oh yeah your your
your shipment came in
no are you
ready to be a spouse because being a
spouse is dying to
yourself more than anything else you got
to die to yourself oh my goodness it
prunes you you want to be
pruned get
married because everything you do
affects that person that person is going
to tell you and they're not going to be
shy about it and you're going to have
you're forced to deal with your flaws
you're not just waking up by yourself
and oh just chilling
no God has been telling you and showing
you and you know in your spirit that
this is wrong and you need to choose
today who Do You Love More Jes Jesus or
this
person are you more concerned with where
your soul is going are you more
concerned with your relationship with
Christ or their
feelings at the end of the day they
don't need you oh my gosh but I'm going
to hurt them
I'm God can take care of them pray for
them that is a huge help that's more
than you could ever do don't have a
savior's complex they don't need you
they need Jesus
your obedience brings blessing you want
the blessing of God but you're not
willing to be obedient you keep asking
God God is this person the one and God
is like you don't even want to hear my
answer when zedekiah came to Jeremiah
Jeremiah's like you don't even want to
hear my
answer you don't even want to hear God's
answer and at some
point God is just going to let you have
your way because when I because he's
he's going to let you fall he's not a
helicopter
parent you know it's like this a child
says oh you know I they're not ready to
ride a bike but they say Mom Dad I'm
going to ride my bike the father says
don't you got to put on your helmet and
your your knee pads no I'm going to look
stupid I'm not going out there I'm not
doing that okay go
ahead go
ahead he goes he falls he comes back
scrape knees crying and a good father
sits down and he puts some frozen meat
and he says now we know why we don't do
that and that's God the Father sometimes
he's not punishing you it's your sin the
natural consequences of your sin
punishing you and you will suffer you
God will allow this person he will not
cause but he will allow this person to
hurt you so
much that it will force you out of that
relationship he doesn't want that but he
loves you too
much to let
you be
deceived and God cares more about your
soul than your feelings
so today choose not to be blind like
zedekiah and choose God's way not your
way because if you do it your way look
zedekiah the reason why he did not want
to surrender to the king of Babylon
which was the instruction of Jeremiah
from the Lord surrender to the king of
Babylon and you know the city won't be
destroyed and
everything he didn't want to do it you
know why because of his ego because he
was his own God because he thought he
knew better oh I'm going to fight to the
death I I'll
win God's saying this is this
relationship is not going to work out
you know
it and there Jesus is coming okay we
have too much to do and the devil is
distracting you because your mind is
always set on a person hello that's
idolization perod Point
Blank don't waste any more time God has
something better for you you God has
blessings for you but Disobedience
brings cursing it will read the
Bible it's that's that's God right there
and when somebody is lacking spiritual
discernment to the point where they're
saying you know oh you know it's okay
that we're fornicating it's okay it's
not a big deal because we love each
other
whoa where's the Holy
Spirit where's the conviction of the
Holy Spirit I'm worried at this point of
your spiritual State you're not
spiritually mature where you need to be
I'm sorry we got to
we
no so today choose God over man because
he he will never disappoint but man will
disappoint an idol will always
disappoint you they will not save you in
the day of trouble but God the Father
when you put him on the altar of your
heart he will not fail you he will when
you need him you call on him he doesn't
Slumber or sleep he will love you he
will not he will not break your heart he
will bless you but you got to surrender
you got to be willing to obey him and
stop seeking false prophets and tick
tickling of the ears and just see that
God has placed people in your life to
speak truth into your life start
listening and avoid the consequences
that come from doing it your way
