Pearls & Pigs

Matthew 7:6 NLT
  “Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you."

🕊📖🦪📖🕊
Proverbs 9:7-8 NLT
⁷ Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return. Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt. 
⁸ So don’t bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you.

Proverbs 23:9 NLT
Don’t waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice.

Acts 13:45
Acts of the Apostles 13:44-49, 52 NLT
⁴⁴ The following week almost the entire city turned out to hear them preach the word of the Lord. 
⁴⁵ But when some of the Jews saw the crowds, they were jealous; so they slandered Paul and argued against whatever he said. 
⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and declared, “It was necessary that we first preach the word of God to you Jews. But since you have rejected it and judged yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we will offer it to the Gentiles. 
⁴⁷ For the Lord gave us this command when he said, ‘I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.’” 
⁴⁸ When the Gentiles heard this, they were very glad and thanked the Lord for his message; and all who were chosen for eternal life became believers. 
⁴⁹ So the Lord’s message spread throughout that region.
⁵² And the believers were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

God's Love for Jerusalem

Jerusalem—an Unfaithful Wife

♡🩷♡
Ezekiel 16:60-63 NLT
60 Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were young, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Then you will remember with shame all the evil you have done. I will make your sisters, Samaria and Sodom, to be your daughters, even though they are not part of our covenant.
62 And I will reaffirm my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the Lord.
63 You will remember your sins and cover your mouth in silent shame when I forgive you of all that you have done. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

New Covenant Prophesied

Jeremiah 31:31-37 NLT
31 “The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.
32 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord.

33 “But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says the Lord. “I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already,” says the Lord. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”

35 It is the Lord who provides the sun to light the day
    and the moon and stars to light the night,
    and who stirs the sea into roaring waves.
His name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
    and this is what he says:
36 “I am as likely to reject my people Israel
    as I am to abolish the laws of nature!”

37 This is what the Lord says:
“Just as the heavens cannot be measured
    and the foundations of the earth cannot be explored,
so I will not consider casting them away
    for the evil they have done.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

"Commentaries on Ezekiel 16:61, found on StudyLight.org and other sites, explain that this verse signifies God establishing a new, everlasting covenant with Israel, extending beyond the old covenant to include Gentiles who will become "daughters" in the new covenant community, receiving their spiritual inheritance from Israel. The "elder and younger sisters" refer to the Gentiles, who will be incorporated into the Church under the New Covenant.

Key Points from the Commentaries

⦁    The Everlasting Covenant:
    Verse 61 introduces God's promise to establish an everlasting covenant, which commentators link to the New Covenant prophesied in Jeremiah 31:31-35.

⦁    "Thy Sisters":
The "elder and younger" sisters are interpreted as the Gentiles—those who lived before the Jewish nation was called and those who came after.

⦁    Inclusion of Gentiles:
These Gentiles will be brought into the Church and receive the privileges and ordinances of God's covenant, participating in the new spiritual community alongside converted Israelites.

⦁    A New Spiritual Family:
The "giving them unto thee for daughters" signifies that the Gentiles, once brought into the Church by God's grace, will be incorporated into the covenant people and obey the word of God.

⦁    Shame and Repentance:
The context of the verse suggests that when God shows covenant grace and brings these "sisters" into the fellowship, Jerusalem will then remember her past ways, be ashamed, and acknowledge her great sinfulness.

In essence, the commentaries highlight that Ezekiel 16:61 is a crucial prophecy about the inclusion of the Gentiles into the people of God through a new covenant in the blood of Jesus Christ, our Messiah, forming a universal community of faith."

False Pretribulation Rapture Date-Setting

The 23rd and 24th came and went and the world is laughing at Christians, yet someone has again set a new date! 
The pre-tribulation rapture did not happen even though someone claimed the Lord told them the tribulation is going to start and then the false prophet added the dates. So many claimed they had dreams and the Lord confirming everything and most of them were running with the date narrative. How can so many Christians be deceived?
Jesus will never ever lie about His own words when He said that no one knows the day of His return only the Father and only the Father has the authority to set those dates and times.  Jesus said it is not for us to know.  
Yet everyone ran with all these false prophets and their visions and dreams and words from the Lord Himself and yes, I call them false prophets.  To claim Jesus said something when He did not, is to lie in His name.  Where is the fear of the Lord in that?

Ecclesiastes 5:3, 7 NLT
3 Too much activity gives you restless dreams; too many words make you a fool.
7 Talk is cheap, like daydreams and other useless activities. Fear God instead.

Acts of the Apostles 1:6-7 NLT
So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”
He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know.

Matthew 24:36, 44 NLT
³⁶  “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.
⁴⁴ You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.

Titus 1:2 NLT
"...God—who does not lie—..."

Hebrews 6:18 NLT
"...it is impossible for God to lie..."

Romans 3:4 NLT
Of course not! Even if everyone else is a liar, God is true. As the Scriptures say about him, “You will be proved right in what you say, and you will win your case in court.”

Jeremiah 23:16 NLT
This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says to his people:
“Do not listen to these prophets when they prophesy to you,
    filling you with futile hopes.
They are making up everything they say.
    They do not speak for the Lord!

Matthew 24:24-25 (Jesus)
24 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. 
25 See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.

Romans 16:17
And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them.

Luke 19:13 NLT 
Before he left, he called together ten of his servants and divided among them ten pounds of silver, saying, ‘Invest this for me while I am gone.’ ['Occupy till I come.']

Let us be about God our Father's business as Jesus was about His Father's business.  Do the work of serving others, bearing one another's burdens.
Eyes not on a calendar but eyes fixed on Jesus.

Oppression & Deceit 
& Inner Peace

Psalm 55:1-11;17-19,21 NKJV
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God,
And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
2 Attend to me, and hear me;
I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,
3 Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the oppression of the wicked;
For they bring down trouble upon me,
And in wrath they hate me.

4 My heart is severely pained within me,
And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me,
And horror has overwhelmed me.
6 So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.
7 Indeed, I would wander far off,
And remain in the wilderness. Selah
8 I would hasten my escape
From the windy storm and tempest.”

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues,
For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it on its walls;
Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.
11 Destruction is in its midst;
Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.

17 Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.
19 God will hear, and afflict them,
Even He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
Therefore they do not fear God.

21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But war was in his heart;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.

Psalm 107:29 NKJV

Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

John 14:27 NKJV
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Prophecy:
The Lord's Promise of His Spirit

Joel 2:28-32 NLT
[28]  “Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. 
[29] In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike. 
[30] And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth— blood and fire and columns of smoke. 
[31] The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the Lord arrives. 
[32] But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape, just as the Lord has said. These will be among the survivors whom the Lord has called.

Prophecy Fulfilled
The Holy Spirit Poured Out

Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4, 16-21 NLT
[1] On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 
[2] Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 
[3] Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 
[4] And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
[16] No, what you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel: [
17] ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. 
[18] In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike— and they will prophesy. 
[19] And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below— blood and fire and clouds of smoke. 
[20] The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives. 
[21] But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

A Cloud

I See A Cloud

1 Kings 18:1-2; 41-46 NLT
1 Later on, in the third year of the drought, the Lord said to Elijah, “Go and present yourself to King Ahab. Tell him that I will soon send rain!” 

2 So Elijah went to appear before Ahab.

Meanwhile, the famine had become very severe in Samaria.

41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!”

42 So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees.

43 Then he said to his servant, “Go and look out toward the sea.”

The servant went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, “I didn’t see anything.”

Seven times Elijah told him to go and look. 

44 Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.”

Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the rain will stop you!’”

45 And soon the sky was black with clouds. A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm, and Ahab left quickly for Jezreel. 

46 Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.

Isaiah 60:22 NLT
"...At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

Dear ones, countless times the Lord has answered the prayers of His children. It may take years, but we continue to pray with unwavering faith and peace in our hearts, knowing that our God is both merciful and good. He tests our faith and allows everything to unfold in His perfect timing, just as we witnessed in Cape Town during the drought of 2017. So, do not fear when life feels overwhelming. Do not let your faith waver. Your Keeper and Provider is always vigilant. Persist in seeking His mercy, assistance, and provision for all your challenges. Remember, God is your Abba Father, and He truly cares for His children.

Listen to the song at the link below. Do you see a cloud?😊  
"I see a cloud. I know God is working things out for my good. I see it now. God does His best miracles when it shouldn't make any sense and I lift up my eyes again and I see a cloud!" 
When the floodgates of heaven opens, God's blessing is poured out. There will not be enough room to contain it!😊🙌🩷
