Nov 19 | I'm Calling You

Jeremiah 1:5-10
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

6 “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”

7 But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.

9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”

Jeremiah 4:1-3
“If you, Israel, will return,
then return to me,”
declares the Lord.
“If you put your detestable idols out of my sight
and no longer go astray,
2 and if in a truthful, just and righteous way
you swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’
then the nations will invoke blessings by him
and in him they will boast.”

3 This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem:

“Break up your unplowed ground
and do not sow among thorns.

for? Begin to ask the LordGod, what am I called for?
Hallelujah. See, so often welive in the carnal. We live in

(08:22):
a realm where we see too muchand it cancels out the revelation of God.
We see the limit, we seethe words, we see the brokenness,
we see the patterns. But Godis saying, I knew you.

(08:48):
God is saying, I'm calling you. I know that you see that maybe
the house is not in order,and you've been told no ten and eleven
and maybe twenty times, and maybeyou're waiting for something you think is past
your time. But God said,hold on, I knew you before the

(09:15):
world, before this relationship, beforethe brokenness, before the trauma. I
knew you, and I am callingyou. So the Lord says to you
today in chapter four of Jeremiah.In verse one, it says, if

(09:37):
you is raelle you listener affirmation radiowill return to me, declares the Lord.
And if you put your detestable idolsout of my sight and no longer
go astray, and in a truthful, just and and righteous way you swear

(10:01):
as surely as the Lord lives,then the nations will invoke blessings by him.
You will be blessed, says theLord. I want you to begin
declaring, no more turning away.Begin to declare that right now, no

(10:26):
more turning away, allelujah. Nomore turning away, no more righteous things
in the world, no more seeingyour way in the world. Open your

God knows me. God knows me. God. I am returning to you.

(11:16):
I am returning to you. Andthe word of the Lord says in
verse three, break up your unploudground and do not so among the lords.

(11:39):
And this is actually the Lord actuallybegin to speak to me to sing
songs in twenty twenty and I beginto write songs. And one of the
songs he prompted me to write withoutme even really knowing. The meaning was

(12:01):
break up the follow ground. Thiswas about two months ago, and I'm
sorry, y'all. I have anew kitten. So if you hear noise
in the background, that is mynew kitten. Do you believe? Praise
God? But the Lord says it'stime to break up the areas that you
don't even want to touch. Godis saying it's time to no longer try

(12:28):
to sew, try to try thingsthat he's no longer in. He's saying,
the area that I spoke to you, the dream that you used to
have, the idea that you oncehad that I gave you. Break it

(12:48):
up, don't leave it stagnant,go till that ground. That is what
the Lord is saying. Not soamong the thorns. Break up the unplowed
ground. Somebody say I am breakingup. Somebody say I am breaking up

(13:16):
the unplowed fallow ground. This isthe land the Lord spoke to you.
This is the dream that you thoughtwas dead. This is the healing that
you thought would not take place.This is the miracle that you're waiting for
that you put aside. The Lordsays, break it up, begin to

(13:39):
believe me again. Begin to seekme again because I am calling you.
Hallelujah, We thank you Lord,we praise your name. On the next
episode, I'm gonna try to havethat song for you all. I'll probably
play it at the end. AndI am so grateful that God is leading

(14:07):
us to a place that he isprepared within us. And guess why,
Guess why He's leading us this waybecause there is a remnant. There is
a remnant on the inside of us, and the world is trying to take
over. But God says, Iam raising up a people, and we

(14:31):
declare and decree. It will beme, declare it, it will be
me. Thank you Lord. Weworship you. We worship you Lord.
We are ship you Lord.
