Hear, Speak, Do – Part 4 – The Hypocrites Prayer

As we come to the end of our series in Jeremiah we look at the end of his life and ministry. The city of Jerusalem has been destroyed, the temple of Solomon has been desecrated, and the Govenor of the territory assigned by Babylon has been assassinated and the small remnant of Jews still alive decide to flee to Egypt for protection and comfort. On the way, the people ask Jeremiah to seek the Lord on their behalf to determine if this is the right course of action or not. However, their prayer was a hypocrites prayer – then never really intended to hear or do what the Lord wanted. Even though God’s Word clearly told them to stay in Jerusalem they rebelled once again to move to Egypt. This sermon helps us know what some very important questions we need to ask ourselves to know whether what we are doing or about to do is from God or not. Then we have to have the courage and the faith to do it!

In the days of Jeremiah the prophet, the nation of Judah was in rebellion from God and turning to their own way and to the ways of other gods from other nations. God called Jeremiah to speak a message to His people to offer them an opportunity to return to His grace and provision. Jeremiah had to learn to Hear, Speak and Do as the Lord called him and led him on an amazing journey. Today, we find ourselves in the same kind of situation in our community and country. The world needs people like Jeremiah to bring the message of God to the people God loves. In this series we will focus our attention on how to hear from God, how to speak for God, and how to know what God wants us to do as we stand firm against the tide of world collapse.
