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.

2 Corinthians 5:8

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
