HOSEA 14:5, 8-9 (2025)

HOSEA 14:5, 8-9

I will heal their disloyalty
and love them with all my heart,
for my anger has turned from them. 6 I shall be like dew to Israel,
like the lily will he blossom.
Like a cedar, he will send down his roots;

They will dwell in my shade again,
they will flourish like the grain,
they will blossom like a vine,
and their fame will be like Lebanon wine.

What would Ephraim do with idols,
when it is I who hear and make him prosper?
I am like an ever-green cypress tree;
all your fruitfulness comes from me.

---- mine,

All that I have said to you repeatedly, day after day, I will do. Have faith and confidence in My Word. I do not desire the death of the sinner, for I came to give life and give it in abundance. There is no prayer, no sigh, no sorrow, no wound, no illness so grave that I cannot touch and heal by the power of My Word. Do not be afraid, ---- my own, it pleases My Father to give the Kingdom to all who believe in Me, hope in Me, and trust Me. Those you pray for, plead before My throne, cry to Me incessantly for their restoration, healing, and return, I have heard. Believe Me when I say to you, at a time of My choosing, at the appointed hour, their hearts will be filled with My Holy Spirit and filled with compunction and sorrow for their rejection of Me, they will know that apart from Me, life is meaningless. They will return with joy, contrition, and true repentance, and I will give them healing, I will forgive, I will restore in full measure and more all that they turned their backs from during the time of their wandering. They will put down roots deep into Me and they will bear fruit, good fruit in abundance, and you will rejoice and be glad and your joy no one will steal from you. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, I have overcome the world.
