Hi! and happy good mid-week to all of us, GUYS. Our "food for the soul" this Wednesday:
THE GOOD NEWS (20 July 2016)
"Then YAHWEH stretched out HIS hand and touched my mouth and said to me, 'Now I have put MY words in your mouth. See! Today I gave you authority over nations and over kingdoms to uproot and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant'." - Jeremiah 1:9-10
(I gave you authority over the nations; to uproot and to pull down. From now on, Jeremiah will carry YAHWEH's creative word. In the first years, this word seems rather destructive. Jeremiah knows that when he pronounces a condemnation, he expresses GOD's judgment which will shortly take place.
Jeremiah's mission: "To uproot and to pull down; to build and to plant" will be the mission of any worker in the LORD's vineyard. There can be no compromise between a semblance of Christian life and authentic faith; the genuine apostle must destroy in order to build.)
