4-13-08 Jeremiah 1:18 The Lord Has Made You As A Fortified City
Jeremiah 1:18 (NAS)
Now behold, I have made you today as a fortified city, and as a pillar of iron and as walls of bronze against the whole land, to the kings of Judah, to its princes, to its priests and to the people of the land.
Jeremiah 1:18 (NLT)
For see, today I have made you immune to their attacks. You are strong like a fortified city that cannot be captured, like an iron pillar or a bronze wall. None of the kings, officials, priests, or people of Judah will be able to stand against you.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A day came when Adonai supernaturally changed you. Instead of being the "so-called ninety pound weakling", the Lord made you into a conqueror and a warrior. He made you strong and in Him, you became like a fortified castle that has the best defenses. You were repaired and rebuilt; the Lord God made your foundation sure again. You became a well guarded city that is under God's constant watchful care.
Before you were always defensive, trying to protect yourself from hurt; however, now Adonai has framed you into an offensive weapon for His Kingdom. As an iron axe head, He uses you to cut off the enemy's works in your own life and in the lives of others. God sets you up as an iron pillar; when the enemy's onslaughts come, you will stand. As you abide and dwell continually with the Lord God Almighty, you are established and endure. Your walls which are constructed from copper, give you protection, for you are joined to the Lord.
Even if kings and those who have dominion and rulership come against you, you do not need to fear. Or if religious leaders accuse you falsely, continue to stand firm, for the Lord has ordained your path. All of the peoples of the land may oppose you; however, you will remain. The Lord has raised you up and you will serve Him in the place that He sets you!
