Jeremiah 4:1-4 is an old covenant
command that was fulfilled IN Jesus Christ. [Pastor]
Whereas we once were lost
(“uncultivated ground”), NOW (IN Christ) we have been found; and our “fallow
ground” is plowed (or broken up), but, yet unseeded; awaiting a “new heart,”
and a “new spirit.”
[Pastor; Eze 36:26]
As we begin to receive the
engrafted Word, our stoney heart is removed; and the strongholds of rebellion
are torn down, as the Lord grants us repentance to the acknowledging of the Truth;
by the quickening of His Spirit.
[Jas 1:21; 2 Tim 2:25; Jn 17:17b
Thy Word is Truth]
When the Lord, our God, says: “Sow
not among thorns (but) circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the
foreskin of your (stoney) heart ...” He is giving Himself the authority to do
as He has spoken. For His Word shall accomplish that which pleases Him.
[Jer 4:3(b)-4(a); Num 23:19; Isa
55:11]

IT'S TIME TO SEEK THE LORD 'TIL HE
COMES …
AND BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW GROUND …
IT'S TIME TO SEEK THE LORD 'TIL HE
COMES …
AND BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW GROUND!
