He just restated what God has already told us in His word the Bible. God should not be mocked. We all will reap what we sow. If we sow with view to our fleshly desires we will reap corruption from our fleshly desires. (GALATIANS 6:6-7) God will not shield us from the consequences that result from our poor decision making or wicked conduct. We will likely suffer the consequences. But, like Manasseh, we still can make changes in our conduct to soften the face of YHWH and he will forgive and restore us if possible. (2 CHRONICLES 33:10-13)

Have a Wonderful and Blessed day!!! If you have never called upon Jesus please call upon him today for salvation. He is the only way to heaven, not denomination, not how much we have or don't have. It is not by good works (Although it is important to be loving, and charitable). It is not skin color. It is not who we know here on earth. When we read the following verses it describes the days we are in. Time is going very quickly. The enemy is using so many distractions to keep people from Jesus and to keep believers focusing so much on the hate, fear, destruction, we see daily. As we have seen since the beginning of 2020 we know not what a day will bring. We need to put our trust in Jesus and be in prayer daily for all people. We need to remember too the Lord sees one race the human race, the saved, and the lost, on Jew or Gentile. To hate anyone because of the color of their skin is telling the mighty God, the creator he messed up. Please call upon Jesus today. 2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

When times get tough and we're going through valleys, God doesn't ever forget where He puts us, and He doesn't do it to be cruel, whether it be discipline, to teach a lesson or whatever the case may be, through trials and tough times God enlarges us and our faith is put to the test and our faith grows. If everything was good all the time we wouldn't grow in our faith. He knows, and He's working everything out for the good of those who love Him. That good being transforming us to be more like His son Jesus Christ. His ways are higher, His plans are higher, and His thoughts are higher. So if youre going through a tough time, don't worry, dont lose faith, stand firm in your faith, keep running the race of faith and don't stop praying, God hasn't forgotten about you, He will never leave or forsake you.

Overall a good message. I want to comment on this, though: "You can't believe yourself out of something you behaved yourself into......." Nice, preacher's statement, but I think it's not a very accurate one, because it's underestimating the grace and mercy of God and misrepresenting the role of faith. Indeed, we cannot believe ourselves out of a paper bag, let alone God's action in our lives. However, even if we bring trouble or negative consequences upon ourselves, God (as our loving heavenly father) will rescue us when we call out to Him. Our faith may be weak, and our sins and their consequences great and serious, but His grace and love will overcome them all!

[@RMPereira777]

Yes, that works when it comes to the spirit man. However, not necessarily for the human side of us. We don't always get we what we pray for. Its not name & claim it. Sometimes we get rescued & quickly delivered. Most of the time we have to walk the process out. We, as western culture Christians really have no idea the hardship it truly can be. Christianity is not for the faint of heart.

[@andrewthomas2353]

@@wlknonsonshine Good. I live in Asia and I see people who have very little in the line of material wealth. Believers are not exempt from poverty or suffering, but have a hope of God helping, supporting and supplying their needs. Believers have hope of divine healing, but even if they die, they know they have an awesome, perfect, pain-free home in heaven awaiting them. The prosperity gospel gives people hope- that's good and I think we should have hope and strong faith. But when we limit our hope to this life or the confines of the expectations we set or project, we'll probably be disappointed. I don't think that's good for faith.

He did tell the Israelites that if they do not obey then he will choose a people that are not his own Roman's 9:22-25.There are many more scriptures. Furthermore the Israelites were to live as examples for us to see God's glory. That was an epic fail. But I thank them because now "Grace", God's Grace and mercy is extended to us gentiles.

[@lilchristuten7568]

@Justin Durham Either you don't know or you seem to have forgotten that through Jesus God grafted the gentiles into the nation of Israel [Romans 11]. So that scripture does indeed belong to Christians if you account for it being for the future. Also it matters not at all about whether that message was for the people of Israel or Christians because that doesn't change the facts that God knows the plans he has for us, and that his plans are to prosper us and give us hope for the future, it is us who cause his plans for us not to come to fruition.

I stumbled onto Allen’s channel only recently but watched enough of them that I was feeling pretty confident, when I found this video on such a chronically misused verse, that his exegesis would be spot on, but after a solid drive toward the endzone, looking at the context, I believe he stopped just short and punted back to the 50 yard line. This verse clearly is a promise by God to uphold His covenant with his chosen people that were currently in exile at the time of Jeremiah, and as Allen pointed out was not necessarily fulfilled for the same generation to which it was spoken. Where I believe this video fell short was in implying that the promised blessing (and reason for hope) also applies to us but may only be delayed. The only real application of this verse to Christians today, especially those of us only “grafted” into the family tree through faith in Jesus Christ (note: those branches included in the old covenant still require faith in Jesus to prevent pruning), is to understand one small facet of the character of God, that He alone chooses when and when not to, as well as how to, prosper us. If anything, Jesus promised we would be blessed in this life by being counted worthy to suffer because of Him. That is not to say that Christians will not, or should not, prosper in this life, and there are verses that can be applied from the old and the new testaments to give us hope for our future (most referring to eternal future) and strength for today, but Jeremiah 29:11 is not one of them.

[@remycallie]

@@lorinzechiel8465 Exactly. In terms of this world, the only thing Jesus promises for sure is that we will know suffering. One of the best biographies of Martin Luther King Jr.is entitled "Bearing the Cross." We don't believe that Jesus will remove all our burdens, but that he will bear them with us and give us the strength to "endure to the end." I'm always amazed when someone says they lost their faith because of some terrible tragedy that happened in their family. Did they actually believe that tragedies and suffering don't happen to Christians? You can't go around the cross to Jesus, you can only go through the cross.

[@dinichhangte8163]

I read this verse last night, and it struck a chord in my heart and its in my head all day and I watched this video tonight and it is really what I need. In my life I have many blessings from God,blessings I feel I don't deserve ... But at the same time the future plans I made for myself and my family have scattered and I have not completely come to terms with them ,I didn't understand why this misfortune comes to me (yet I still feel blessed at the same time). SO THIS VERSE AND THIS VIDEO MAKES ALOT OF SENSE TO ME.. Thank you

I just say..."Lord I give this burden to you".....because only our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ knows what plans God has for us. I never take it for granted that when I pray, my problems will be taken care of right now. I believe that God is trying to teach me something or there's a reason why he doesn't answer a prayer right away or sometimes he doesn't answer at all. I learned that unanswered prayers always benefit me and my family in the long run.

[@meganmanichia4250]

Thank you, I love how you always bring the Word into context as to the time it was written! This has been one of my favorite scriptures for sometime. I had the application correct, and now I have a more clear vision of what the Prophet Jeremiah was saying throughout the book leading up to the passage. May God continue to bless you and your ministry!

[@brieflyflesh4917]

WOWWW this is amazing. So I was on Instagram today recently and I saw in someone’s bio they quoted “Jeremiah 29:11 “ so it’s really amazing that the first scripture you speak on today was exactly that. Praise God!

[@stephanietherese]

I see this scripture as... he has plans to prosper people when they are able to actually listen to the LORD again. Yes... sometimes we have to carry our cross too, we may suffer even when we are following him... so it's not all bells and whistles when we are back on the covenant path... however, the Holy Spirit will comfort us in our sorrows so that we will be able to bare our suffering. And if we are truly aligned with God... the things that would usually hurt us don't anymore, because we know what is really important - not worldly things - suffering often comes when we place our minds on wordly things... And we have our minds on the living water. It's all about faith. He's just asking us to have faith in him, and jump all in with him, and make him our foundation. Then when the winds blow, we will not be shaken. But there is a time of suffering after sin, yes.

And now I can say that I understand correctly the message that he gave me yesterday. Thank you, this is the first time that I saw your channel.

[@tiffanyjames9857]

Hello, Allen! Thanks for the great videos. I agree with you to a certain extent but God also bail us out and rescue us too. I’ve made some very poor choices in my life that I’m not proud of. God have rescue me out of situations I put myself in. He didn’t have to but he did because the love he have for his children. This is one of my favorite quotes. “When GOD gives you a New Beginning, don’t repeat the old mistakes”.

Love this! Thank you for speaking such truth straight from the word of God!

[@leedatsit1799]

I recall a preacher who once said that God could teach us in different ways. The one he said he never wanted was where God taught him through suffering. He said that whenever he began to suffer he would pray, "Lord, if there is something You want me to learn, help me learn it fast, so I don't have to suffer long." I think that's a great prayer. But there are other reasons we suffer. Sometimes it's for the sake of the gospel, sometimes it is because of the sins of others, because evil exists in the hearts of man. Jesus promised (and most don't seem to realize it is a promise) that while in this world we WILL have tribulation (trouble). Often we repent and do everything we can to escape a place of suffering, but there is one thing I have learned in over 40 years as a believer, and never heard anyone talk about. God the greatest Psychologist knows the exact best psychological moment to do something for us, as well as the exact best thing to do. And often He is simply waiting for us to come to the place where His actions will be best received and taken into our hearts before moving for us, even as we think we are "waiting on Him". No one ever "waited on God": He is so far beyond us this is an impossibility. The reality is, that He and we are both waiting for the moment when we can be psychologically right to receive what He has for us. The difference being that God knows this, and we usually don't. So, in addition to the great prayer for God to help us learn anything we need to learn fast, I think another great prayer is for us to ask God to help us get where we need to be so He can bless and deliver us, if possible. Because another catch to this is, that God sometimes uses our suffering to bless and change the lives of others who may be watching. So perhaps a third great prayer might be, "Lord, help those You might be using my suffering to bless to learn what they need to know soon, for I know Your word says You do not wilfully afflict the children of men." Just some observations of an old timer in Jesus, hope they may bless someone.
