“O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance… Their blood they have shed like water all around… and there was no one to bury them. The invaders slew men as if their blood was of no more value than so much water. We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those who are around us.” [1]
“Asaph was an excellent advocate, for he gave a telling description of calamities which were under his own eyes, and in which he sympathized, but we have a mightier Intercessor [Jesus Christ] above, who never ceases to urge our suit before the eternal throne.” [2]
“Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your Name; and deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, for Your name’s sake!” [3]
“Pardon of sin is sought as well as removal of chastisement. Both are asked not as matters of right, but as gifts of grace. This noble plea is the great gun of the battle, the mightiest weapon in the armory of prayer.” [4]
“According to the greatness of Your power preserve those who are appointed to die.” “So, we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, will give You thanks forever; we will show forth Your praise to all generations.” [5]
“Thank You Heavenly Father that You are aware of every evil act against Your people. Thank You Jesus, our Advocate and Intercessor, for praying for our victory. Thank You Holy Spirit for light to shine as stars amidst the darkness. Lord Jesus, thanks to Your presence with us, we shall overcome. We shall stand before You. We shall see Your glory.”

21st Century Jeremiah is a publishing site that is managed and operated by Mark Czanderna for the expressed purpose to provide for you free Bible-based and Christ-exalting resources. My goal is to align myself with the prophetic words of God as carefully and accurately as Jeremiah the prophet did in his day, but include the additional revelations that the Lord Jesus Christ provided for us in the Gospels, the Book of Acts, the Epistles of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation.
