    1 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remainder of the elders who were carried away captive—to the priests, the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 (This happened after Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem.) 3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying, 4 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who were carried away captive, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace. 8 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. 9 For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the Lord. 10 For thus says the Lord: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

    Overview:

    Over the next few weeks we are going to talk about the building blocks for the basis of temporal life.
    many of us like to talk about whatever completed vision we see. do we understand that it will take a plan.
    its not that we need to have a perfect plan as we move forward, we just need a path for next steps.
    the main focus needs to be the will of God.
    The main thing I need to to explain about this is that God wants to bring maximum Glory out of my life.

    1. we must take a Spiritual inventory.

    Lamentations 3:40 NKJV
    40 Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the Lord;
    Psalm 119:59 NKJV
    59 I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
    Psalm 139:23–24 NKJV
    23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
    Galatians 6:4 NKJV
    4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
    no one but God knows my life better than I do with the exception of God.
    my ability to justify is above all deceitful.
    Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV
    9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
    We have to understand that we justify things that where wrong. why would we do this?
    to bring Glory to the reality of who God is in our lives.
    maybe that will be the thing that He uses to turn hard hearts to himself

    2. We must count the cost.

    Luke 14:28–29 NKJV
    28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it—29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,
    a mistake I see people make is they don’t sit down and take an inventory.
    sit down and write out your goals.
    if I am going to do something I probably should determine what I think and then do some research.
    many people don’t understand the difference between vision and make believe.
    you have to trust that God has has a plan to satisfy your needs and bless you to help meet the needs of others.

    3. Greed is not a money issue it’s a heart issue.

    Luke 12:34 NKJV
    34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
    Matthew 6:19–20 NKJV
    19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
    Ephesians 4:18 NKJV
    18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;
