Jeremiah 33 ~ Praying God's Word


Please read Jeremiah 33.
Meditate on and memorize verse 3.

“Call to Me and I will answer you,
 and I will tell you great and mighty things,
 which you do not know.”

Jeremiah 33 tells about another impossible situation that only God could remedy.  Jerusalem was filled with the corpses of people slain by God at the hand of the Chaldeans (Babylonians) because God, in His anger and wrath, was punishing them for their wickedness (Jeremiah 33:5).  Then God said the impossible would happen:

Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them;
and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth.
  I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel
and will rebuild them as they were at first.
 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me,
 and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me
and by which they have transgressed against Me. 
—Jeremiah 33:6-8

The LORD promised to fulfill the good word He spoke concerning Israel because He is a covenant keeping God.  He has and will restore Israel’s fortunes and have mercy on them (Jeremiah 33:14, 25-26). 

God wants to do the same in your life and in the lives of those you love.  Only God can cleanse and pardon you. Only God can restore and rebuild you.  Only God can bring health and healing to your life and give you an abundance of peace and truth. 

Bring to the LORD the “corpse-filled situations” you are praying over as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).  Pray Jeremiah 33:6-11.

“LORD, bring health and healing to ________ and me.
Reveal to us an abundance of peace and truth.  Restore and rebuild us. 
Cleanse us from all iniquity by which we have sinned against You.
 Pardon all our iniquities by which we have sinned and transgressed against You.
 Let us be to You a name of joy, praise, and glory.
 Let everyone hear of the good You have done for us,
 so they will fear and tremble before You, God. 
In our lives that have become a desolate waste,
 let the voice of joy, the voice of gladness,
 the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride be heard.
 We give thanks You, LORD of hosts, for You are good;
 Your lovingkindess is everlasting.
 Thank You for restoring our fortunes as they were at first.
For Your name’s sake, Jesus~”
