“Not Even Moses And Samuel Standing Together Can Turn Me Towards The People”
Reference Jeremiah chapter 15
The sins of Israel were many. They had turned their back on God. We turn our back on God when we forsake His word. God told Jeremiah that even if Moses and Samuel stood before Him, with petitions for the people, yet His mind could not be towards them. He commanded Jeremiah to cast the people out of His sight for destruction.
That was a condition of Adam in the garden: to be cast out, and he was cast out. But there was one Who was ordained even before the fall of Adam to redeem Adam and his children. He is the only one Who stood before God and turned the mind of God towards the people. He had the remedy. He had the new blood, a different kind of blood. The Blood that changes the mind of the people and the mind of God. He is called the Word of God, Jesus Christ. John the Baptist cried out, "Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world."
Let's read.
Jeremiah 15:1-3 “Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. [2] And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. [3] And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.”
The sons and daughters of Adam were cast out. Some were appointed to the sword. Some of us were appointed to be torn down by the dog, some for the fowls of heaven to just feast on, and some for the beasts of the earth. But there came one Who intervened. He stood in our place. He is the blood of redemption. He redeemed us from the grip of the enemy, brought us back to God, in our original creation, before the fall of Adam.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 15:4-6 “And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem. [5] For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? [6] Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.”
We forsake Him when we turn our back on His Word. We turn to Him when we receive His Word and walk according to His Word. Faith in His Word is walking according to His Word. His Word has a name. His Name is Jesus Christ. The same yesterday, today, and forever.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 15:7-11 “And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways. [8] Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. [9] She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD. [10] Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me. [11] The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.”
As in every case, there is always a remnant: those who stayed with God. There were some who, like Abel, believed, and there were others who, like Cain, did not believe. Faith in His Word is always the dividing line.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 15:12-16 “Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? [13] Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. [14] And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you. [15] O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. [16] Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.”
Jeremiah received the word of God gladly by faith. He was called by the Name of God. That Name is Jesus Christ. He is the same Name by which every man comes unto God. No other Name.
We conclude our reading.
Jeremiah 15:17-21 “I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. [18] Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? [19] Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. [20] And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. [21] And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.”
Jeremiah stood as the mouthpiece of God to the people. The Word of God is always the guide, and God will protect His Word. Jeremiah was protected because God was protecting His Word. If the Word of God is in you, God will protect His Word. That means you will be protected. This Word of God is who Jesus Christ is. If one rejects Jesus Christ, they are rejecting the Word of God. They have rejected the protection of God.
Receive Jesus Christ for your protection. BELIEVE and confess Him as we’ve revealed Him from the first Adam. No other name in heaven or on earth. No other place in heaven or on earth, but in Christ!
Reference Jeremiah chapter 15
The sins of Israel were many. They had turned their back on God. We turn our back on God when we forsake His word. God told Jeremiah that even if Moses and Samuel stood before Him, with petitions for the people, yet His mind could not be towards them. He commanded Jeremiah to cast the people out of His sight for destruction.

Jeremiah 15:1-3 “Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. [2] And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.

The sons and daughters of Adam were cast out. Some were appointed to the sword. Some of us were appointed to be torn down by the dog, some for the fowls of heaven to just feast on, and some for the beasts of the earth. But there came one Who intervened. He stood in our place.

[6] Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.”
We forsake Him when we turn our back on His Word. We turn to Him when we receive His Word and walk according to His Word. Faith in His Word is walking according to His Word. His Word has a name. His Name is Jesus Christ. The same yesterday, today, and forever.

Jeremiah received the word of God gladly by faith. He was called by the Name of God. That Name is Jesus Christ. He is the same Name by which every man comes unto God. No other Name.
We conclude our reading.
Jeremiah 15:17-21 “I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. [18] Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? [19] Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

[21] And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.”
Jeremiah stood as the mouthpiece of God to the people. The Word of God is always the guide, and God will protect His Word. Jeremiah was protected because God was protecting His Word. If the Word of God is in you, God will protect His Word. That means you will be protected. This Word of God is who Jesus Christ is. If one rejects Jesus Christ, they are rejecting the Word of God. They have rejected the protection of God.
Receive Jesus Christ for your protection. BELIEVE and confess Him as we’ve revealed Him from the first Adam. No other name in heaven or on earth. No other place in heaven or on earth, but in Christ!
