August 13, 2026, Jeremiah 15:1-9

15 Then the Lord said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my heart would not turn toward this people. Send them out of my sight, and let them go! 2 And when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord:

“‘Those who are for pestilence, to pestilence,
    and those who are for the sword, to the sword;
those who are for famine, to famine,
    and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’

3 I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the Lord: the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. 4 And I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.

5 “Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,
    or who will grieve for you?
Who will turn aside
    to ask about your welfare?
6 You have rejected me, declares the Lord;
    you keep going backward,
so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—
    I am weary of relenting.
7 I have winnowed them with a winnowing fork
    in the gates of the land;
I have bereaved them; I have destroyed my people;
    they did not turn from their ways.
8 I have made their widows more in number
    than the sand of the seas;
I have brought against the mothers of young men
    a destroyer at noonday;
I have made anguish and terror
    fall upon them suddenly.
9 She who bore seven has grown feeble;
    she has fainted away;
her sun went down while it was yet day;
    she has been shamed and disgraced.
And the rest of them I will give to the sword
    before their enemies,
declares the Lord.”

 

There are many mighty prayer warriors in the Word of God.  Moses and Samuel are some of those who spent quality time in prayer.

Who do you know that you would consider a prayer warrior?

How can prayer help you in your everyday life?

There are several areas in our Christian walk that I think we will always have room to grow, and prayer is one of those.  I know personally, it is an area that I want to work on.

July 31 – Exodus 3:1-6 Click on the link to listen to the content of this post:  https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/whengodwhispers/episodes/July-31--Exodus-31-6-e27j3rs Heavenly Father, I am so glad You gave us the Holy Spirit after Christ ascended to heaven.  I don’t know how the Old Testament prophets did it to only have the Holy Spirit temporarily.  I feel so grateful for many reasons, but especially the way You speak, that I live in this day and time.  Help me to always be listening.  I know many times I am so busy trying to do this or that and move forward to the next project that I don’t always stop and listen for what You have for me.  Thank You for being patient with me.  Thank You for continuing to give me whispers. In Jesus’ name. Amen! We see here that Moses is afraid to look at God.  Is it because he fears he will die if he looks at God, or could it be he thinks he isn’t good enough to look at God?  Both are true, but I ...
