I have been thinking about Baruch the scribe, who wrote out the words of God to Jeremiah the prophet. Many have been experiencing troubled times in the Earth and God may want to encourage some of you, as He did Baruch, that HE HAS’NT FORGOTTEN YOU. (This is a repost of a previous word, hope it helps someone. Amen)

2 ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3 You said, “Woe to me! The Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.” Jeremiah 45

Jeremiah and Baruch the Scribe lived in tumultuous times; Judah had been taken into exile in Babylon. A remnant of Jews had sought Jeremiah as to whether they should go down to live in Egypt, (A type of ‘the World’ for us), which God had forbidden Israel to do. The prophet sought the Lord for them and after ten days God spoke to him to tell the people not to return to Egypt, but once again they were disobedient. THEY WENT DOWN TO EGYPT and Jeremiah went or was taken with them. The Hebrew word ‘Aliyah’ talks about COMING UP to Jerusalem but DOWN TO Egypt - the World System, Take Note!

Baruch felt that his life was very difficult and it had been, he lived through a siege by the Babylonians and saw the land and the people decimated. However, in the midst of all this Baruch seems to have held onto personal ambition, because God scolded him with a personal word from Jeremiah.

4 The Lord said, “This is what the Lord says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the earth. 5 Should you then seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them. … but WHEREVER YOU GO I WILL LET YOU ESCAPE WITH YOUR LIFE.”’ Jeremiah 45

In the midst of God’s severe judgment upon the land of Judah, God warned Baruch not to look for personal gain, but He did bless Baruch by promising to spare his life, wherever he went.

("Baruch" is a Hebrew word meaning "blessed" or "fortunate".

In modern Hebrew, "Baruch Hashem" (בָּרוּךְ הַשֵּׁם) is a common expression meaning "Blessed be G_d," used to express gratitude.)

This world has come through great turmoil and in many places people still suffer because of wickedness, but throughout it all, OUR GOD AND FATHER STILL SEES AND KNOWS OUR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. He promised safekeeping to this scribe who worked with Jeremiah, many others around him would perish, but God gave Baruch HIS LIFE. How important to have God’s hand of protection and guidance on our lives in these troubled days.

May the Lord bless and keep you today. Immanuel, God is with us.

15 NOW THE JORDAN IS IN FLOOD ALL DURING HARVEST. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, 16 THE WATER FROM UPSTREAM STOPPED FLOWING. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam Joshua 3

We have been looking at the Crossover of God’s people into their Inheritance in the Promised Land. Supposedly clever people have tried to give all sorts of reasons and excuses why Israel were able to cross the Red Sea when escaping from Egypt (Such as going inland to shallow parts to cross, yet Pharaoh and his whole army drowned in it) and here again while crossing the Jordan River. We should note several things from these scriptures! Firstly the Jordan was in flood at this time of year, but that was no problem for God. In fact it could only have been God who stopped the flow during flood time, He received all the recognition and glory for this act. THERE IS NO FLOOD OF CIRCUMSTANCES IN YOUR LIFE THAT GOD CANNOT STOP AND BRING YOU ONTO DRY GROUND. HALLELUJAH

It’s also worth noting that Israel crossed over at HARVEST TIME! The manna that had sustained them during forty years in the wilderness would soon stop and they would have to learn to live off the land. God led them so that they would come into their Inheritance during the Harvest season and not be in need. From the very outset God provided for them, how kind is our loving Heavenly Father.

We have said previously that Israel crossed out of Egypt, out of slavery to dark rulers, representing Salvation. Then they crossed into Canaan, the Land of their Inheritance, which God had chosen for them to live and rule for Him. On both occasions God opened the way for His people to cross over.

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus answered, “I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14

We hear voices today saying there are many different ways to God and all roads take us to the same destination, but this is nonsense. There is only one acceptable way to Father God and that is through the Son, as Jesus stated in one of the seven ‘I AM’ statements in John’s Gospel. THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY FOR ISRAEL TO CROSS OUT OF EGYPT AND ONLY ONE WAY TO CROSS OVER INTO THEIR INHERITANCE AND THAT WAS THE WAY GOD MIRACULOUSLY OPENED FOR THEM. All other ways will lead to destruction and loss, such as befell Pharaoh’s army. GOD’S WAY IS THE ONLY SAFE WAY FOR YOU AND I TO TAKE, CHOOSE LIFE.

May the Lord bless and keep you today. Immanuel, God is with us.

15 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: ‘Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, YOU CANNOT BE SAVED.’ ( Oh Really!) 2 THIS BROUGHT PAUL AND BARNABAS INTO SHARP DISPUTE AND DEBATE WITH THEM. Acts 15

Many false cults and strict religious people STILL TRY to tell us something similar today and it’s very dangerous because if we ever accept anything like this we move to a performance based faith. We move from what Christ accomplished on the Cross, to what we can do to satisfy a Holy God, hence Paul and Barnabas argued forcefully against these anonymous individuals.

Derek Prince pointed out that God had spoken the following words to him regarding Christ’s sacrifice; ‘It is Perfectly Perfect and Completely Complete’. CHRIST’S SACRIFICE CAN NEVER BE ADDED TO NOR IMPROVED UPON IN ANY WAY.

2 This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. Acts 2

This debate on early Church doctrine led to a group of believers making the journey from Antioch to Jerusalem to ask for a ruling by the apostles and founding Church leaders regarding this dangerous teaching. It was obvious that the teaching came from Jerusalem, with its roots in Jewish tradition.

5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees (Jesus’ sternest critics) stood up and said, ‘The Gentiles MUST BE CIRCUMCISED AND REQUIRED TO KEEP THE LAW of Moses.’ Acts 5

This confrontation would result in true Freedom for the new Gentile Church from the regulations of Judaism. Peter stood up and reminded those in Jerusalem that God had chosen him and six others to go to the house of Cornelius, where the Holy Spirit first came upon the Gentiles. It’s noteworthy that this happened in a private house and not in any religious setting. God accepted the Gentiles who believed in Christ, it must have been an incredible moment for both Jew and Gentile.

9 He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts BY FAITH. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? Acts 5

The debate concluded when Jesus half brother James addressed the assembly and confirmed the words of the prophet Amos 9:11, 12. He also spoke against adding further restrictions to the Gentile Church, which the Jews had not fully kept.

19 ‘It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21 For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.’ Acts 5

The bottom line in all this is don’t allow the enemy, nor religious people TO STEAL OUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST. We cannot add to, nor improve upon Christ’s great sacrifice for us, the children of God.

May the Lord bless and keep you today. Immanuel, God is with us.
