PASSIONATE PURSUIT...

MATTHEW 9:12-13

BUT WHEN JESUS HEARD THAT, HE SAID UNTO THEM, THEY THAT BE WHOLE NEED NOT A PHYSICIAN, BUT THEY THAT ARE SICK.
BUT GO YE AND LEARN WHAT THAT MEANETH, I WILL HAVE MERCY AND NOT SACRIFICE: FOR I AM NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS BUT SINNERS TO REPENTANCE.
JEREMIAH 8:14-22
IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD, IS THERE NO PHYSICIAN THERE? WHY THEN IS NOT THE HEALTH OF THE DAUGHTER OF MY PEOPLE RECOVERED?
WHY DO WE SIT STILL? ASSEMBLE YOURSELVES, AND LET US ENTER INTO THE DEFENCED CITIES, AND LET US BE SILENT THERE: FOR THE LORD OUR GOD HATH PUT US TO SILENCE, AND GIVEN US WATER OF GALL TO DRINK BECAUSE WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST THE LORD.
WE LOOKED FOR PEACE, BUT NO GOOD CAME; AND FOR A TIME OF HEALTH, AND BEHOLD TROUBLE.
WHEN I WOULD COMFORT MYSELF AGAINST SORROW, MY HEART IS FAINT WITHIN ME.
BEHOLD, THE VOICE OF THE CRY OF THE DAUGHTER OF MY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEM THAT DWELL IN A FAR COUNTRY:
IS NOT THE LORD IN ZION? IS NOT THE KING IN HER? WHY HAVE THEY PROVOKED ME TO ANGER WITH THEIR GRAVEN IMAGES AND WITH STRANGE VANITIES?
THE HARVEST IS PAST, THE SUMMER IS ENDED, AND WE ARE NOT SAVED.
FOR THE HURT OF THE DAUGTHER OF MY PEOPLE AM I HURT. I AM BLACK. ASTONISHMENT HAVE TAKEN  HOLD OF ME.

THE WORD SPEAKS VOLUMES FOR HIMSELF. HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO GO THE WAY OF THE WORLD AND NOT SEEK THE FACE OF GOD? HOW DO YOU ACT AS IF YOU HAVE IT ALL COVERED ON YOUR OWN CONTINUING TO ELIMINATE THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD? HOW HAVE YOU GONE TO THE PHYSICIANS OF THE WORLD WHEN JESUS HAS STATED THAT HE IS OUR HEALER? IF WE HAVE HEAVENLY SEATS WITH HIM, SHOULD NOT OUR DELIVERANCE BE FROM ON HIGH? SHOULDN’T OUR HEALINGS BE A SPIRITUAL ONE? WE CANNOT PUT A BAND-AID ON SPIRITUAL JUDGMENT. HAVE YOU SEEN THE WORDS OF THE HOLY PROPHETS MANIFEST BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES? YET, THIS PEOPLE DRAWETH NEAR TO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH, AND HONOURETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME.
