Luis Alberto Alves In fact, they are people who have never felt the pain and sadness of living far from the Lord. From the oppression of darkness over life. Of losing freedom and eventually even life itself and falling into the deep pit that exists in hell. They never delved into this text by Jeremiah and analyzed how deep it is. They are unaware of the suffering of the Jewish people in this time away from the Promised Land. Of the persecution suffered in the countries they chose as their temporary homeland. Seeing family members burned in the ovens of the Nazi regime during World War II. If you want to enjoy the promises of God, keep on spinning. Do not swerve either to the right or to the left. Accept being called a straight face and enter Heaven, than to pose as trendy and trendy and burn eternally in hell. The choice is yours my brother and sister. Meditate on the suffering of the Jewish people in these 1878 years away from Jerusalem and make your decision. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor.

Luis Alberto Alves Some think of imitating the bad example of the prodigal son, who left home to see the world and was forced to eat swill given to the pigs, so as not to die of hunger. He bet on the false glow offered by the darkness and broke his face. The devil doesn't feel sorry for anyone. There are evangelicals, in this 21st century, who go so far as to say that God needs to modernize, to join the wave of this rotten world. It needs to revoke commandments and renounce principles to make the Gospel lighter in the eyes of these people. Since they no longer accept to obey Christ. They want the promises, as described by Jeremiah in chapter 29, but without paying any price. All without sacrifice. Immersed in a life full of error and the mud of sin. As if God were silly and forced to accept our wishes. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves Even reading this text, unfortunately millions of evangelicals do not pay attention that they are on the broad path, which leads to sin and hell. They insist on worshiping this dark world, where Satan temporarily reigns, with Christ's permission. Some no longer like to hear the spiritual hymns of the Christian harp. For this type of evangelical hymns are grimaces. They like to hear high-helping worship, devoid of any kind of anointing. Songs with words with no connection to Heaven. They prefer the beauty-coated rubbish offered by the devil and his demons. Many evangelicals are unaware of how painful it is to live far from the Father. Staying in a strange land, unable to enjoy the freedom offered by God. How many Jewish families, in these 1878 years away from Israel, have not wept and lamented. They felt the depth of the pain of not having a home. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves They are unaware that when God allowed the Jewish people to be scattered throughout the world for 1878 years. Suffered a lot. He lived as a stranger in different countries. He felt like returning to the house, but it was occupied by enemies. The longing to see the temple, to dip one's feet in the water of the Jordan River. Walking the streets of Jerusalem. To go up to Mount Sinai as Moses did to get the tablets of the Ten Commandments. How many generations have died longing to return home and not be able to return. The suffering was very great, because it is not easy to be far from our land. When we come across this text, we have the impression that God is bad. Is not true. He corrects those he loves, just as a father does with his children. All this time, the Lord corrected the Jewish people to come to their senses and get back in line, putting aside the worship of strange gods. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves When they preach Jeremiah 29, they distort the context of the Word. Some pseudo pastors even say that God has good plans, even for rebel Christians, who have left the paths of obedience, as if Christ were a fool, someone with no idea of ​​what is wrong or right. The rule is to keep in the church, at any cost, sheep that have turned into goats, people without any commitment to the Lord. In the view of this type of church, peace plans and accepts sin and all kinds of mistakes made by people who left allegiance to the Lord, a long time ago. For fear of persecution from the sinful majority, some evangelical leaders no longer accept to face the customs of the world. The strategy is to accept and remain silent in the face of the absurdities that some churches accept, in the name of money from tithes and offerings. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves At all times, the promises of Jesus Christ will always be good for servants. For those who spend time searching for it without ceasing. Who don't let their guard down for the devil to mess up their lives. As He was with Jeremiah, He continues to be today, because the Lord is no liar. The problem is that the evangelical church of the 21st century decided to join the world, to follow the customs imposed by the darkness, in the search for an increase in membership. No matter where the money comes from, the important thing is that it comes in to feed the coffers and quench the vanity thirst of countless leaders. It is the well-known gospel of results. They do not clash with sin, on the contrary, tolerate it. Churches that don't spend time on prayer, fasting, intercession. Only with parties, as if the Gospel of Jesus Christ were a dance. In pulpits they do not worship the Lord with anointed praises. Luís Alberto Alves is a pastor

Luis Alberto Alves In 1 Thessalonians 5:22 it is written: "Flee from everything that has the appearance of evil". The Christian, to avoid playing Satan's game, cannot make the mistake of paying to see. It's something bad and that can harm his entry into Heaven, it should be avoided. In Ephesians 4:28 it is written, “Let him who was stealing steal no more, but let him work, working with his hands what is good, so that he may have something to share with those in need.” In 2 Corinthians 6 14-15 it says “Do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what do justice and wickedness have in common? What communion can light have with darkness? What harmony between Christ and Belial? What is in common between the believer and the unbeliever? In Matthew 6-24 it is written “No one can serve two masters; for he will either hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

But greed and lack of intimacy with the Lord, leads many Christians to fall into Satan's lie, to bet on temporary happiness in this world, exchanging eternity for a plate of lentils. Sadly, few evangelicals seek to spend time with God. They prefer the speed offered by darkness, setting aside the eternal promises of Jesus.

Luis Alberto Alves In this chapter 29, verse 11 he says “that God has a plan to prosper you and not harm you, a plan to give you hope and a future”. In this case, the Christian's future in Jesus is described in Revelation 21-4: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there will be no more death, sadness, crying, pain, for the old order has passed away". It is the prize for every Christian who persevered in the faith without turning to the right or left, was not seduced by the world, but continued to love Jesus Christ, following his commandments. In Hebrews 11-1 it is also written that “faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the evidence of the things we do not see”. But the prosperity and good plans of Jesus Christ demand that the Christian live a righteous life, as written in Hosea 14-9 “who is wise, that he may understand these things? Prudent, so that you know? For the ways of the Lord are right, and the righteous will walk in them, but the transgressors will fall into them. In Deuteronomy 28-12 it is written “The Lord will open heaven, the storehouse of his treasure....You will lend to many nations and borrow from none. But for this to be a reality, it is necessary to follow what is written in Deuteronomy 28-1 “If you faithfully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commandments.

Luis Alberto Alves Jeremiah prophesied 1878 years in advance that Israel would become a State, three years after the end of World War II in 1948. He also prophesied the episode in which Jerusalem would be sacked and destroyed by troops commanded by the Roman general Titus in the year 70 AD, including with the destruction of Solomon's temple, where today only the wailing wall remains. In this invasion, the number of dead Jews, according to the Jewish historian Flavius ​​Josephus, covered the streets of the city with blood, even lacking wood for the Romans to crucify the Jews who faced the Roman troops. Before Jesus Christ died, in Luke 21-6, He would say, "From what you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another, they will all be thrown down." Jeremiah made this prediction 414 years earlier, confirming what Jesus was going to say about the tragedy that would befall Jerusalem. It is in this context, described here in this chapter 29, that Jeremiah writes this letter and sends from Jerusalem to the leaders, who still remained among the exiles, to the priests, to the prophets and to all the people that Nebuchadnezzar would take captive to Babylon and there they would stay 70 years old.

Jeremiah preached the word for over 40 years; he endured imprisonment, torture, threats, affronts, and beatings for the love of God. He began his ministry at age 20, during the reign of King Josiah, with whom he was a friend. King Jehoiakim destroyed his prophecies. King Zedekiah allowed his arrest. In Hebrew, his name means "God exalts".

After King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem in 586 BC, he was freed, gaining the right to stay in Jerusalem or go to Babylon. It is in this wave that Nebuchadnezzar takes Ezekiel, Daniel, Hananiah, Misael and Azariah who would be known in Babylon as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

All still young. Jeremiah was a descendant of Abiator, who had been a priest in the days of King Solomon. God prevented Jeremiah from marrying or raising children, as the yoke against the people of Judah was imminent and would destroy their entire second generation. While still in Jerusalem, he was kidnapped and taken to Egypt, where he stayed for a few years and then died by stoning.
