October 18 - Daily Message - Jeremiah 29:11

I believe this is a message to us from God, written from His perspective – Sherri 

Jeremiah 29:11 ESV “Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave command concerning Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, saying,”
 
This verse highlights 2 really important matters in the Kingdom:

1. As King – I command
2. As King – I take care of my people, in this case My very important prophet.

I give this example through king Nebuchadnezzar but each king I appoint is intended to represent Me. Some do it better than others, some do it very poorly because they do not pay any attention to Me and believe that when I put them in their position, they get to do whatever they want and they forget that I am their King.
 
Do not make this mistake in your life.
 
I am a loving and incredibly supportive God who gave you free will on purpose, because I want you to make a choice to know Me, to follow Me, and to obey Me but it does not change the fact that I am the God in the Bible that I speak of in Job 38-41. Please know that I want you to approach My throne with confidence (Hebrews 4:16)– you are My children, and I want you to come to Me with everything. Balance this with real knowledge and understanding of the power that I Am and know that
 
Proverbs 9:10 ESV “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”
 
As King, I give commands. You are the “captain of the guard” as is mentioned in this verse. I want to be able to give you commands and I want you to follow through on them knowing that I have power to enforce my authority. I don’t use this the way a king on earth does. I am much more loving, and I have given you the completeness of your free will, however, when you do as you are asked it goes well for you and for the Kingdom.
 
Recognize that, at the same time, I am giving commands to other people regarding you. I gave commands regarding Jeremiah here through Nebuchadnezzar. If you read in the next verse, you will see that I am remedying the incredibly disrespectful way they treated Jeremiah, and he is being raised to the level of respect he deserved. I say (through Nebuchadnezzar)
 
Jeremiah 39:12 ESV “Take him, look after him well, and do not let any harm come to him; do for him whatever he says.”
 
If they had listened to Jeremiah in the first place they could have avoided so much pain and suffering and they would not have added to their list of sins that they mistreated My chosen prophet.
 
Do this in your life, please! I am right here, letting you know which way to go and what is to come (Isaiah 30:21, Isaiah 42:9). Listening to, and following Me, is not as hard as people think it is. I am here to guide and help every step of the way. But remember My underlying goals may be different from yours and that may make it more difficult to hear. Align your goals with Mine and it becomes more simple.
 
My goal, to bring My children home to Me for all eternity.
 
Your goals often have more to do with the details of life, wanting to be safe, comfortable and cared for. These are all important! But they come from following Me, loving Me, and knowing Me and I take care of them along the way.
 
When you want guidance on the specifics of a job, a calling, a relationship, etc. start by switching your perspective, which is naturally from earth to heaven and needs to be from heaven to earth. This paradigm shift will help the decision become more clear.
 
In all things though, the most important thing you can do is to love Me with all your heart, soul, mind and strength (Mark 12:30). Everything else will flow from there! I promise!
