“Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.  Then said I, Ah, LORD God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am only a youth.  But the LORD said to me, Say not, I am only a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Be not afraid of them [their faces], for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD.  Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth.  And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.  See, I have this day appointed you to the oversight of the nations and of the kingdoms to root out and pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant,” Jeremiah 1:5-10.

I Hear The LORD Saying

“Be not afraid of their faces in this season, because before I formed you in the womb, I have ordained you to take the land!

I have called you to have dominion in the earth!  But before you can plant My Kingdom in the earth, you must be removed from your fear of men!  Do not say to me that you are only a child or a woman, or one detested by others!

Do not say, I am divorced, I am single, or I have a handicap.  Do you not know that you are just who I am looking for in this hour?  Yes, you are they who know that I am able to do anything through them and in them!

Those who will go into the Land must first conquer their fear of man!  They also must conquer their insecurities about who they are and see who they are in Me!

I have ordained you to take the Land that I have given you!  I have ordained you to go in first and root out that which was not built on my word and My principals!  Root out that which I have not ordained but have become strongholds of the evil one!

But you must know Me, so that you will know My thoughts because they are not your fleshly, worldly thoughts!  I need a people to go into the Land with My mind and My heart!”

You Must Know My Ways

“I must have a people who know My ways, so that they know what must be rooted up!  I have also called you to pull down the strongholds in your minds first and then pull down the strongholds that those with wrong mindsets have set up in the land!

These are they that call evil good and good evil!  I called you to be full of compassion the kind that is brave and will be angry at sin everyday!  Yes angry enough to root it out and say “NO MORE!”

They will be angry enough to kick the devil out and love others enough, to be brave enough, to make themselves of no reputation and not care what man can do to them and only fear Me in this time and season!

I need a prophet who will prophesy the truth with love that cries out for deliverance of the lost!

I AM calling you to speak truth to Power!

I AM calling you to tear down the mindsets that would murder the innocent!

I AM calling you to speak out and not be afraid!

I AM calling you to TAKE THE KINGDOM BY FORCE!

Arise My people for I created you for such a time as this!”
