Do not say I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak Jeremiah 1:4-9

You have to read the whole passage I have given above to fully understand the expository of the whole verse. I have just taken a piece to grab your attention. Jeremiah was called and ordained by God (Psalm 139) way before he was born. The hand of God was laid upon his life. He was called to become the mouth piece of The Most High God. Jeremiah would be sent where to go and told exactly what to say. There are those amongst you who have been called by God to the ministry. It was ordained by our Father way before you even thought of Him. Then came that great and wonderful day when you found your self on Holy ground, under the conviction of sin, being cleansed by God. God's plan was in action. Like Moses, Isaiah, Elisha and Paul of Tarsus. You were called for a time like this. He lifted you out of the miry clay, Like Isiah 6:6-7 Then one of the seraph flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it He touched my mouth and said "See this has touched your lips, your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for". Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? and who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" verse 9 says that God told him, "Go and tell this people...." You were ready and willing but you allowed Satan to steal from you the very purpose you were born. Dear friend there are all sorts of excuses even Jeremiah had one, "Behold I cannot speak I am a child" Lord I cannot do as you want me to, the path is too difficult to follow. You say now I am not worthy, everyone knows about the sins I have committed. Dear friends when the cleansing fire of God takes hold of you and God's anointing and the fulfillment of His plans come into being, no excuse will stand. Not because you are too young or too old and past your sell by date not even if someone tells you women may not preach, no dear friend absolutely nothing. You have been saved for a time like this. Stop making excuses and get on with the Father's business. Lay off the sin which binds you and causes you not to minister for God. Bring every thought into submission of Christ and His Word and overcome. Allowing God to bring you to the place on Holy Ground. The presence of God. When last did you experience His presence. I know that I know that I know that I have been called by God to fulfill a place in HIS story. I know that I know God has anointed me to preach. If I could not I would burst within me. You had the fire, God's people disappointed you and you blamed God. I plead with you, return to your first LOVE. Even if no one reads this and no one responds, I have being obedient to my Father. What about you?
