Jeremiah 22:1-24:10

What God said to me – There is so much noise in the world . . . so many messages being given, but they are not from Me.  Most people don’t want to hear from Me because the life I call them to is demanding. I require commitment.  I require holiness.  Will you take the time to stand in My council and listen to My word?  I have much to say . . . will you listen?  Will you spend time with Me and let Me teach you?  Effective ministry comes from spending time with Me, learning from Me and following My direction.  The best laid plans are of no avail if “I AM” not in them.  Don’t start with a plan, start with Me and let Me instruct you and direct you.

Jeremiah 18:1-21:14

What God said to me – “I AM” holy and righteous.  I cannot and will not abide with sin and unrighteousness.  I must judge it because of who “I AM”.  I will always judge sin whether it is in the lives of My people or in the world, but if you repent, I will forgive.  As soon as I convict you of sin, you must repent.  Don’t let it go on because it will affect our relationship together.  Repent immediately and our fellowship is restored immediately.  Let it go on and I will have to discipline you to bring you to repentance.  You are Mine and I can not let you go your own way.  My commitment to you is eternal.  “I AM” yours and you are Mine.

Jeremiah 10:1-17:27

What God said to me – Many people claim to know Me.  They say the right things.  They speak so eloquently about Me and yet “I AM” not in their hearts.  Their service is only words.  There is no other evidence that they truly know Me for they don’t live for Me.  Don’t you be like that.  Live for Me.  Live with Me.  Let Me live through you, I know it’s not easy.  Many times, you sit alone because you live for Me, but know this – you are never really alone for “I AM” with you.  Turn to me when you feel alone for “I AM” your friend and “I AM” always eager to fellowship with you.  Don’t become disheartened and give up.  Keep on living for Me.  Your witness and influence are being felt even though you don’t realize it.  Trust me.  “I AM” working through you.
