What Say i?

What say i? Are you saying what God wants you to say? Or are you say what you want to say? Is He filling your mouth with His words? Or are you allowing your flesh to dictate what comes out of your mouth? Did He not set you up to speak His Word before He even formed you?

Let’s go to:

Jeremiah 1:4-11 and hear what the Lord is speaking to our spirits even this day.

“4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

God has ordained YOU! He has ordained YOU as a minister of His Word. Prophet, Apostle, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.  It doesn’t matter if you have a title now. God called you YOUR name before you were created.

I can see Him now and He’s calling PROPHET. And then He picks a womb to place His prophet in.

Before you were even conceived God called you YOUR name.  And YOUR name is Prophet, Apostle, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher, Deacon, Elder. 

And this calling puts us not above man but it creates in us a servants heart. We become servants of man. We become responsible for helping them reach the place of walking in the spirit and not in the flesh. For helping them to become their name. Prophet, Apostle, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher, Deacon, Elder.

There is always a responsibility that goes with your name.

verse

“6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.”

When we walked in the world we couldn’t wait to reach the age of maturity. This should be even more so in the spirit. For as we once desired the milk of the Word – (1 Peter 2:2) we now desire the meat of the Word. For your word says in John 6:27,

“Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.”

It is this meat that we now desire Lord. This seal of the Lord.

Your career has become YOUR NAME and God has to teach YOU to walk in these careers, in YOUR NAME. And He now feeds us the meat of His Word because of the anointing in YOUR NAME. And He doesn’t just feed us, but He seals it!

What does this mean? “He seals it.” He’s not talking about closing it up, not talking about closing it up in you, because if He were to do that than you would you never be able to speak it.

He’s talking about placing His holy seal upon His words.

Remember in the days of Kings and Queens and royal courts. Whenever the King made a proclamation to go out to the people he would place his seal on it. It was his stamp of approval. Proof that he wrote this and that he agrees with what was written.

Check this out:

I googled the word seal because I was interested in what the world has to say about it and this is one of the definitions that I found. Pay close attention now.

“SEAL,

a device or substance that is used to join two things together so as to prevent them from coming apart or to prevent anything from passing between them.”

God’s seal unites His word with you and it not only unites but it prevents anything from coming between you and His word.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

God has placed His seal of approval on the words that He has placed in you. He is saying that He agrees with those words so hold tight to that seal and do not allow compromises to separate (unstick) you from it.

Continuing with Jeremiah,

Verse

“7 But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

Now this is where we sometimes get into trouble. The Word says, “whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak”.

Not what we want to speak, not what I say, but what God wants us to speak.

Do not allow your flesh to dictate what comes out of your mouth. Flesh will abuse and exploit power, but the spirit, the spirit will respect that power and use it to encourage and uplift both sinners and saints.

God is commanding us. His Word is commanding us to speak what He commands us to speak.

What does this really mean? It means that we cannot compromise the Word with our flesh. To compromise is to pollute what God has said.

Go in your Bible to:

Ezra 2:59-62, 

“59 And these were they which went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:

They could not prove that they were the descendants of Israel. 

Verse 

“60 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two.

61 And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name:

62 These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy,”

Those that had proof of their bloodlines. They could not prove their bloodline because they had begun to intermarry with the people of the lands that they inhabited. The Children of Israel had made compromises that affected their offspring generations later.

 “but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.

They were fearful that God would not place His seal on them and so they would not allow them to serve.

verse

63 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim.”

They were banished from the priesthood because of a compromise generations ago. They had to wait for a true priest from the rightful bloodline to come. From an unpolluted bloodline. From an uncompromised bloodline.

Can you see where I am going with this word?

Do not compromise the word that God has placed in your mouth. Personally if you receive what the Lord has told me to say, I consider it a blessing. However for those that will not receive the word it brings me grief and sorrow, but I will not and cannot compromise.

We are about our Father’s business and not the business of man.

Let’s go back to Jeremiah.

verse

“8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.”

We go forth in the boldness of the Lord just as Peter and John did in Acts 4:13. It was the boldness, the boldness that turned the people to listen to what they perceived to be uneducated men. It is the boldness that says we have been in the presence of Jesus. The boldness. And we need this boldness because it helps the unbeliever.

Did you see that? Hallelujah! God has already set them up to receive what you must say. He made them respect the boldness. He made them believe the boldness.

Hallelujah! Thank you Lord!

verse

“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.”

Reach up and place your hand on your mouths right now. God is placing His Words in your mouth even now. Hallelujah! He wants to tell you what to say because His words have purpose.

Repeat after me:

I will say, what God tells me to say, and I will make no compromises. I will not, compromise His words. I will say it, the way, God tells me, to say it. And, I will not, change, nor add, to His word.

Amen

Know this now… the words of the flesh will harm men. But the words of God will strengthen, uplift and empower men. It is only the words of God that He will place His seal upon.

He will never bless what comes from your flesh. He blesses only the words that He has told you to speak.
   

verse

“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 Word has a purpose. The Word has a purpose. It has a purpose and that purpose can root out or it can dig up.  It can pull down or it can lift up. It can destroy or it can build.

The Word has a definite purpose and that purpose only comes when we say what God has told us to say.

Verse

“11 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou?”

What seeth thou? It is the Word combined with our faith and Holy Spirit that allows us to see into the spirit realm. To see that thing before it even gets here. It’s called vision.

Do you have God’s vision? What seeth thou?

The words that He has placed in your mouth is not just for the world, but it for you too. It takes us to a place of vision. Of seeing what the Lord has already declared. What He has already spoken and what He has command us to speak.

So I ask you, are you saying, “what say I”?  Or are you saying”, “what saidth the Lord”?

And so I end this short but powerful message today asking you,

“What seest thou?”
