Why are we so afraid?
Jeremiah 1:5-10
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified[a] you;
I [b]ordained you a prophet to the nations.6 Then said I: “Ah,
Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” 7 But the Lord said to me: “Do
not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces,
For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. 9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my
mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold,
I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the
nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”
Abba knew us
before we were still in glory as a spirit.
Then He chose us and sent us down here to the parents we had. It might not have been so good or it might
have been wonderful but never the less however it was He chose us. He ordained us to do what He has called us to
do. Now we need to stay in that
calling. Yes everyone is called to do
something for the Kingdom of God. He
chose us, don’t forget. But then
Jeremiah said he couldn’t speak. Isn’t
that how we are. OH, OH we can’t do it.
For I am just a youth. No matter
how old we are when we get born again we are but just a youth… Jesus is always
saying Matthew
19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the
little children come to Me, and
do not forbid them; for of such
is the kingdom of heaven.”
That is us. When we are born again all we are is a child
before the Lord. We have to grow in the
Spirit just like we did in the flesh. We
are now of the Kingdom of God. Not of
this earth but of the Kingdom. So He sees
us as little spirits or children in heaven again because He sees in the spirit. We don’t have to wait for the taking away of
the church because when we are born again we are home again then. We become the church on earth. When Jesus spoke to the Father He also saw
things in the Spirit. Well that is how
He sees us is in the Spirit as children.
2
Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power
and of love and of a sound mind.
So we don’t have to be
afraid of their faces or even to speak because God will let us know what He
wants us to say. (In the Spirit). He has placed us over the
Nations and the Kingdoms of the earth.
He has given us authority and dominion again. We have received this when we are first born
again.
To root out and pull
down… to command any seed that has
been planted we command it to die in Jesus name.
Matthew
21:19 And seeing a fig
tree by the road, He came to it
and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you
ever again.” Immediately the fig
tree withered away.
To destroy and throw
down… again take dominion over the
enemy and destroy any seed that has been planted from our tongue or any word
that has been spoken over us that is not of faith.
Isaiah
54:17 No weapon formed
against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in
judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.
To build and to plant.” He will give us the word He wants us to
say. We will be like Jesus.
John
12:49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but
the Father who sent Me gave Me a
command, what I should say and what I should speak.
Now God knew us then, He
knows us now. We must learn who we are in Jesus now and
walk in love and not
fear.
We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.Be Blessed
By His Grace
