If you will, allow me to share what the Lord put on my heart and on my mind today. Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like fire? Saith the Lord, and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? God spoke this word to Jeremiah regarding false prophets who promised his people prosperity even while the people walked in their willful disobedience. God was letting Jeremiah know that his word was able to cause the most hard hearted individuals to become contrite and broken. For the heart is deceitful above all things, who shall know it. But God knows it and he knows all things. As Moses was instructed by God to speak to the rock, yet he disobeyed and struck the rock, we are instructed to speak Gods word in truth and not flattery. Too many are telling people only what they want to hear when God has commanded that we speak his word by rightly dividing it for the appropriate time and season. If our brothers and sisters are in sin and walking after the flesh we must admonish them to repent, for the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. When the word is spoken in truth, it causes the stony hearts to melt in contrition and brokenness. God is near to those who are of a broken and contrite heart. He will not despise. Truly his word is like fire and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces. If people will allow his word to break them, then they can be filled with Gods spirit and out of their belly will flow rivers of living water. Let the pastors and prophets obey the commandment of the Lord and speak to the rocks his word.....for his word will save, deliver and set the captives free. I pray this word encourages and admonishes those that read it. Amen.
