Jeremiah 23 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Jeremiah 23.  It describes your world.

Meditate on verse 28b.

 

Let him who has My Word speak My Word in truth.

 

God addressed preachers, prophets, teachers, and anyone who declared, “I have a word from the LORD.”  God is against those who prophesy false dreams and declare lies in His name (vs. 31-32).  He warned people not to claim revelation from the LORD that is actually born from “the deception of their own heart” (v. 26).

Do not be deceived!  Everything you read and hear must be filtered through the truth of the Bible.  If someone declares they have a word from the LORD, it must not contradict the LORD’s Word; if it does, that person has “perverted the Words of the living God” (v. 36).

As you continue to read and study the Bible, you will be able to discern truth from lies.  Ask God to give you His Biblical worldview.

Pray Jeremiah 23:22 and 28 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, let ________ and me announce

Your Words to Your people.

Use Your Words to turn us back from our

evil way and from the evil of our deeds.

We have Your Word; let us

 speak Your Word in truth.

In Your name, Jesus~”
