TOPIC: THE NATION IS WAITING!
SCRIPTURE: JEREMIAH 1:5
INTRODUCTION:
THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS TEXT IS IT DEMONSTRATES FOR US THE POWER OF GOD AND HIS MAGNAMUS AUTHORITY. MANY LOOK AT THE TEXT OF JEREMIAH AND WE CONJECTURE THAT IT IS DEALING WITH JEREMIAH’S CALL, AND THEN EVENTUALLY WITH HIS ACCEPTANCE OF THE SAME. BUT AS MUSCH AS THIS TEXT IS ABOUT JEREMIAH’S CALL IT IS AS WELL DESCRIPTIVE OF THE WAY BY WHICH WE MOVE INTO THAT NEXT LEVEL OR DIMENSION. BECAUSE IN ORDER FOR JEREMIAH TO ENTER INTO THAT REALM DESTINED TO BLESS HIM TO BLESS THE PEOPLE. AND SO THIS TEXT SHOWS THAT THERE IS A PROCESS THAT ONE MUST GO THROUGH BEFORE YOU MOVE INTO THAT NEXT DIMENSION. THEREFORE THE STEPS THAT JEREMIAH HAS TO FACE ARE CONDITIONED AND PREREQUISITE FOR US TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION. THE REASON IS THAT THE NATION IS WAITING ON THESE PEOPLE, THESE LEADERS AND THIS CHURCH TO GET INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION. AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT THIS CHURCH IS IN THE BUSINESS OF NATION CHANGING.
THEREFORE IN THIS TEXT WE FIND THAT A PROCESS MUST TAKE PLACE IN ORDER FOR ONE TO MOVE INTO THAT NEXT DIMENSION. WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT IN THIS HOUR THERE IS NO MORE LEVELS, BUT GOD IS TAKING PEOPLE TO DIMENSIONS. LEVELS ARE SMALL INCREMENTS OF MOVEMENT, BUT DIMENSIONS ARE ENTIRE WORLDS AWAY FROM THAT WHICH YOU ARE USED TO. WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IS THAT GOD IS USING LEVELS TO CATAPOLT US INTO THAT NEXT DIMENSION. AND THIS TEXT JUST REVEALS TO ME THREE SMALL, BUT POWERFUL LEVELS THAT JEREMIAH HAS TO GO THROUGH BEFORE GOD GIVES HIM THE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE A NATION.
A) IMPARTATION
IMPARTATION IS A VERY VITAL LINK TO THE STRENGTHENING OF ONE FOR THE MOVEMENT TO THAT NEXT DIMENSION. YOU CAN NOT GET THROUGH TO THE NEXT DIMENSION UNTIL YOU ALLOW THESE IMPARTATIONS TO TAKE FORM AND SHAPE IN YOUR LIFE. IMPARTATION IS THE STAGE OR LEVEL THAT ONE GAINS POWER TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE SUCCESSFULLY THE CATAPOLT TO THE NEXT DIMENSION. GAINING CORRECT AND POWERFUL IMPARTATION IS CRITICAL FOR NOT JUST THE STRENGTHENING OF ONE BODY, BUT POTENTIALLY FOR THE ENTIRE BODY OF CHRIST. AND SO IMPARTATION NOW HAS TO BE CORNEERSTONE AND FOUNDATIONAL, BECAUSE IT IS ON THE IMPARTATIONS YOU RECEIVE THAT ONE CAN BUILD AND MOVE TO THE NEXT TWO LEVELS THAT ULTIMALTELY LEAD TO THE SHIFTING INTO THAT NEXT DIMENSION OF NATION CHANGING.
B) EXPECTATION
YOU CANNOT RECEIVE DIVINE IMPARTATION FROM GOD AND RECEIVE STRENGTH ENERTNALLY. YOU CANNOT HAVE SEEN THINGS IN YOUR SPRIRT AND NOT DEVELOP SOME LEVEL OF EXPECTATION. THAT IS WHY THIS CITY HAS NOT SEEN A REAL MOVE OF GOD, AND WHY SIGNS AND WONDERS DON’T FOLLOW. IT IS NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LIVING RIGHT IT IS BECAUSE OF THEIR LOW LEVEL OF EXPECTATION. WHEN I THINK OF THE WORD EXPECTATION IT BRINGS ME TO THE ALLEGORIES OF THE CAVES SIMPOZUM 180 WHEN PLATO WRITES IN THE BOOK OF REPUBLIC THAT THERE MEN BORN INTO CAVES AND THE ONLY LIGHT THEY SAW WAS THE SMALL FLICKERS OF FLAME FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAVE. SOMEONE SET THEM FREE AND THEY SAW THE SUN LIGHT AND RESCENDED BACK INTO THE CAVES BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT THEY WERE USED TO. AND UNTIL YOU RAISE YOUR LEVEL OF EXPECTATION GOD IS NOT GOING TO BLESS YOU. SO IF YOUR EXPECTATION IS LOW THEN WHAT YOU RECIEVE FROM GOD IS GOING TO MATCH THE LEVEL OF EXPECTATION. YOU CAN NOT GET REVELATION FROM GOD UNTIL YOU FIRST HAVE EXPECTATION, BECAUSE EXPECTATION GIVES YOU THE ABILITY OR THE CAPACITY. BECAUSE PAULTILIX SAYS THAT REVELATION IS MYSTER OF CONCERN, AND NOBODY GETS ANYTHING FROM GOD UNLESS THEY FIRST HAVE A NEED AND EXPECTATION.
C) MANIFEATATION
AND SO LASTLY IN ORDER TO GET TO THAT NEXT DIMENSION ONE MUST HAVE SOME LEVEL OF MANIFESTATION. THEREFORE IMPARTATION BRINGS EXPECTATION AND THEN EXPECTATION BRINGS ABOUT MANIFESTATION. YOU TALK ABOUT BEING BLESSED ALL YOU WANT, BUT UNTIL PEOPLE SEE A MANIFESTATION IN YOUR LIFE PEOPLE WILL NOT LISTEN TO TALK LONG. WE ARE PREACHERS IN A GENERATION THAT IS MOVED BY WHAT THEY SEE. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT BLESSINGS OF LIFE ALL YOU WANT, BUT WE NEED TO SEE SOME MANIFESTATION.
THE THREE INITMATE DECREES!
I KNEW THEE!
THERE ARE NOW THREE INITIMATE DECREES THAT AWAIT JEREMIAH. JEREMIAH HER IN THIS TEXT GETS A RESPONSE I’M SURE TO HIS CONTINUOS DOUBT OF THE CALL OF GOD FOR HIS LIFE. SO GOD NOW GETS INTIMATE WITH JEREMIAH. HE SAYS JEREMIAH I KNEW THEE. THE WORD KNEW IN THE HEBREW IS THE WORD YADA WHICH DENOTES OBSERVATION OF OR IN ESSENCE TO DISCOVER. SO GOD SAYS TO JEREMIAH THAT I HAVE WATCHED YOU, AND I’M THE ONE WHO DISCOVERED YOU. AND YOU MUST UNDERSTAND BEFORE GOD EVEN CHOOSES YOU HE MUST OBSERVE AND KNOW YOU. THAT’S WHY OUT OF ALL THE PEOEPLE IN AMERICA, ALL THE PEOPLE IN LAURINBURG, ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS STATE GOD PICKED YOU BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. HE KNOWS WHAT YOU WILL DO IN A TOUGH SITUATION AND HE CAN TRUST YOU. THE MERE FACT THEN JEREMIAH IS KNOWN BY GOD IS SYMBOLIC THAT HE HAS PLACED HIMSELF IN THE PRESCENCE OF GOD. AND THAT’S WHY GOD DOES NOT USE EVERBODY BECAUSE EVERYBODY DOES NOT WANT TO GET THEMSELEVES INTO HIS PRESCENCEOF GOD.
I SANCTIFIED THEE!
THEN SECONDLY GOD SAYS THAT AFTER HE KNOW YOU HE THEN SANCTIFIES YOU. THE WORD SANCTIFY IN THE HEBREW IS TRANSLATED INTO THE WORD QADESH AND SO THE ETOMOLOGICAL ROOT THEN IS TO CLEAN OR TO DEDICATE. SO THEN TO BE SANCTIFIED IS A WORD OF APPOINTMENT.
- THEN THIS WORD IN THE HEBREW MEANS TO SET APART. AND WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN SET APART YOU CANNOT FIT JUST ANYWHERE. THE WORD SANCTIFY THEN DENOTES THAT ONE IS A SERVANT OF GODS NOT BY CHOICE, BUT THAT ONE IS A SERVANT BY CHOOSING. AND THAT’S WHY YOU DON’T FIT IN IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT JUST BEEN CALLED, BUT YOU HAVE BEEN CHOOSEN. AND THAT’S WHY YOU DON’T FIT IN WITH OTHER CHURCHES BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN FOR A WORK. AND WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN PEOPLE JUST DON’T UNDERSRTAND YOU, BUT I DON’T ACT LIKE THIS BECAUSE I’M EROGANT BUT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN SET APART. THE FACT THAT ONE HAS BEEN SANCTIFIED GIVES ONE THE ABILITY TO INSPECT FRUIT. AND SO I’M NOT JUDGING I’M JUST FRUIT INSPECTING. BECAUSE I CAN’T HANG WITH EVERYBODY BECAUSE I’M SANCTIFIED.
I ORDAINED THEE!
NOW THE FIRST TWO PHASES OF THIS TEXT ARE ENTERNAL FUNCTIONS THAT INTURN ENABLE US TO REACH THIS NEXT POINT OF PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION. GOD TELLS JEREMIAH I ORDAINED THEE. THE WORD ORDAINED IN THE HEBREW MEANS TO APPLY, AND SO THE ETOMOLOGICAL ROOT THEN IS CHANGE. AND SO IT AS WELL MEANS TO LET OUT OR TO PULL.
