Advancing Encouragement By:

Jeremiah: 1:9: Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10: See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

The idea about this text is to combat the wickedness in the land. Where you are today there is wickedness all around you from Japan to Argentina, from Saudi Arabia to Africa, from Spain to America, and Canada to Venezuela. Jeremiah had a serious condition of evil in the land and God was about to intervene to punish the people of God. Jeremiah was called to be a prophet at an early age and the young prophet planted his life in Jerusalem. Jeremiah is one of the greatest figures in the whole range of Biblical history. No other prophet of Judah or Israel was placed in his position. He stands alone in circumstances of the most desperate and heart-breaking nature, yet faithfully and fearlessly he declares the word of the Lord-the crushing judgment which is to fall upon the nation and her people. God had to touch the mouth of Jeremiah to bring about the power he would need to preach the judgment upon the nation. The things you speak my friend that comes to pass are already ordained by God you just spoke it into existence by the power of God not even knowing what you are doing. Your mouth is a powerful tool that can be used to tear down or to build up. God had already planned for the fall of Jerusalem and Israel However, these great men of God His prophets spoke these things into existence by His power. What God has for His people is for His people it is that He raises up His mighty men and women of valor to speak on His behalf so that His will comes to pass according to what was already ordained to happen. There are some things right now that are ordained to happen where you are either in your personal life or in your whole region that can be tragic or up building and prosperous. The idea is God has a plan for you my friend to do something great and mighty where you are as a believer and a mighty child of God. Jeremiah is just a school master in how to prepare to conquer your enemies through the guidance, protection, power and might of our Lord and Savior in your life. All you have to do is let Him touch your mouth to speak things into existence that will 1. Destroy your enemy and 2. Bring deliverance in your life and others around you. Remember Jeremiah was not only speaking judgment on the land but warnings for Gods elect His remnant that was to be reserved and preserved for the glory of His Kingdom in the latter days and years to come… God can touch your mouth right now if not already so that you can bring change into your life and even in your region. What is it that you want to see changed that has been revealed to you by God where you are right now for your life and for your entire region? God can set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant by just speaking it into existence what was already ordain to happen, you are just an instrument to be used by God! Today my friend let God use you to His glory to speak the things he has for you and for your Region into existence by the power of God in Jesus name…
