Jeremiah 1: 17-19   The Message Bible

Demolish, and Then Start Over

17 “But you—up on your feet and get dressed for work!
    Stand up and say your piece. Say exactly what I tell you to say.
Don’t pull your punches
    or I’ll pull you out of the lineup.

18-19 “Stand at attention while I prepare you for your work.
    I’m making you as impregnable as a castle,
Immovable as a steel post,
    solid as a concrete block wall.
You’re a one-man defense system
    against this culture,
Against Judah’s kings and princes,
    against the priests and local leaders.
They’ll fight you, but they won’t
    even scratch you.
I’ll back you up every inch of the way.”
    God’s Decree.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word. Thank You. Lord Jesus, we praise You today! Your Royal Titles are “Wonderful,” “Counselor,” “The Mighty God,” “The Everlasting Father,” “The Prince of Peace.”! The Government is upon Your shoulders, Lord and we praise You, we praise You, we praise You. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ we pray, the Name above all Names, Amen, Amen, Amen , Amen and Amen!
