Finding Our Purpose From Jeremiah #32~ Two Types of People

Jeremiah 24:6 For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

Jeremiah 24:8 And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:9 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.

As a Prophet I am so enjoying this book of Jeremiah.  It has helped me to understand myself more and it explains that what I see has to do with what God wants to say.  You may think this weird but it also lets me know I am not weird.  I see then I say.  Jeremiah was the same. So Jeremiah encourages me in my gift.  If you operate in the prophetic I pray this series has done the same for you.  Let me know in a Facebook private message or a reply to this Blog how this series has helped you.

​This short chapter helps us to understand that though God’s people share with others in the same calamity, it is not the same to them that it is to others, but is designed for their good and shall issue in their good. To the good the prophecy is a correcting rod in the hand of a tender Father, while to bad it is an avenging sword in the hand of a righteous Judge. 

True to the character of the Word of God it has two sides like the Sword it is referred to.
