The Prophet

Jeremiah was to be a Prophet
God changed his life from being a priest
God called him during a most evil time in Judah
Jeremiah was a youth we will find out
he is not a good speaker, does not know what to say
But God has some pretty special things to say to Jeremiah
and to us
Read Jeremiah 1 1-10.
Pray

I formed You

V 4-5
God forms us all individually
he gives us the genetic makeup to be what He wants
he gives us the disposition He needs to accomplish our mission
Psalm 139:13–16 LEB
Indeed you created my inward parts; you wove me in my mother’s womb. I praise you, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was created secretly, and intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my embryo, and in your book they all were written— days fashioned for me when there was not one of them.
Jeremiah was formed to be the courageous, trusting in God, weeping Prophet that God wanted
God gave him the schooling, experiences, temperament, and all those other things to be The Jeremiah that He needs
The same for us His children. He made us exactly who we are,
for the purpose that he called us for

I Knew You

V 5
I chose you, The Elect , I have a special relationship with you
you I love more than others round you
Because of my grace I selected you to be mine
this same word Knew is used as chosen
Amos 3:2 (LEB)
“You only have I chosen of all the clans of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
this same word Knew is used as intercourse
Genesis 4:1 (LEB)
Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain. And she said, “I have given birth to a man with the help of Yahweh.”
With this thought process lets look at these verses
Ephesians 1:4–5 LEB
just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love, having predestined us to adoption through Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will,
Romans 8:29 (LEB)
because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be the firstborn among many brothers.

I Set You Apart

V 5
From the womb you have a job
God has said this about others, Isaiah
Isaiah 49:1 LEB
Listen to me, coastlands, and listen attentively, peoples from far away! Yahweh called me from the womb; from the body of my mother he made my name known.
Paul, Imagine Saul the original persecutor of the Church
Galatians 1:15 LEB
But when the one who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace was pleased
John the Baptist Luke 1 15-17, 39-42.
Samson Judges 13 3-6
Judges 13:3–6 LEB
And an angel of Yahweh appeared to the woman, and he said to her, “Behold, you are infertile and have not borne children, but you will conceive and bear a son. So then, be careful and do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, because you will conceive and bear a son. No razor will touch his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from birth. And it is he who will begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.” And the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very awesome. I did not ask him from where he came, and he did not tell me his name.
I Gave You A Job
V 5
I Appointed you a prophet to the nations
I have given you a purpose
This is what you have been built for
I have gifted you
this is the way you glorify me
This is how I planned out your life
this is the responsibility I have given you
Equipped you for
you can do this Because...
V 6
I don’t think you noticed God but...
Excuses start. the really good reasons why I cant do what you want me to do
Lord you have the wrong person,
Moses had that same excuse, me too
we all have an excuse not to do the Job God has prepared for us to do

But God

V 7
God will send you to the right place
put words into your mouth
V 8
Don’t be afraid
Jesus to Paul in a vision
Acts 18:9–11 LEB
And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent, because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because many people are mine in this city.” So he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
V 9 - 10
God prepared Jeremiah to accomplish His life mission
God started assembling him from before he was born
gave him all the right tools, Physically, and mentally
gave him the temperament and life lessons to accomplish the task
Last week we saw the Faithfulness
now we see the abilities and makeup given by God
God has given to us the abilities and makeup to be faithful to the end
