Jeremiah Chapter 18 Discussion

Sir/Ma'am,

Is there a question in there somewhere? I think Sam Cook took the 100 pounds of clay and made a bullfrog named Jeremiah.

Press song house line on way lord have then only pray song the potter saw a vessel this is not Jeremiah chapter 18 that Sam Cook saying about he took 100 pounds of clay.

Messed up but God, still has his hands on us.

GOD's chosen people above (formed from the dust of the earth) boldly refuse to repent of sins, thereby forfeited there BLESSING from Jehovah / GOD; now the moment has arrived and GOD is about to release HIS WRATH on HIS chosen people. WOW! WOW! WOW! I thank GOD for HIS plan of forgiveness of /from sin.

verse 12 "And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart". WOW! God's desire to bless people / nations with His mercy, peace, patience, healing power, blessing ... never-the-less people / nations desire their idols they create through the lust of the flesh, eye, proud of life.

"At what instant.." The very moment that the LORD has a thought and expresses it by words; if at that very moment the man either responds by acknowledging the truth honestly, and turns FROM his sins and the evil ways of his life; or if he lets his heart's lusts and vanities deceive him so that he now turns FROM his righteousness; SO QUICKLY LIKEWISE WILL THE LORD REPENT of what He was about to do.

In verse 11 God let his people know that they could turn around. They had an opportunity to make a change. We can make a change while we still have time but we must not take God's kindness for weakness.

Fear God because He can do whatever it pleases Him to you when you disobeyed his commandments. As the pot is in the hands of the Potter so we are in God 's hand. It is His mercy that restraints God from dealing with us as He pleases.

For those of us that cannot fully understand, please, could someone put this into plain modern day speak? It 's kinda funny from my point of view I 'm a potter and around our crowd there 's an understanding that you won 't control the clay until you become one with it. Fighting it only frustrates you and destroys the piece you are attempting to make. You need to work with the forces to achieve compliance from your medium clay, it 's funny like that.

I must be mindful to forever be humble, broken and obedient to God and His Word.

We must know Nothing, be Nothing and Humble ourselves to be used of God. No man can strive with His Maker.

Yes, yes, yes, John Wesley. I 'm not a Methodist, but I am in full agreement with you here. As one missionary statesman once said I think it was C. Hudson Taylor, but I 'm not for certain it was he , "The good is ever the Enemy of the best. "

When we device devices against thee prophets and men of God we are asking for destruction because God will hear their prayers.jeremaimh 18:18-22

God want us to confess for our sin and clean ourselves up before we can come to for repent. We all need a clean heart before stand before God.

Our lord wants to reshape us to a good and pleasing useful vessel.

vs 10 a lesson that christians/born again/worship in spirit and truth. God is the potter and He has the power to form and fashion us as he pleases. because of our disobedience: idolatary, iniquity which causes calamity,misery and desolated land.
Marred: empty vessel,unrighteous, unholiness, unsantification and all evil ways. It is difficult for God to straighten out these kind of people
We are in God's hand as clay."He can pluck up and pull down"

This chapter is to the Israelites. verse 10 God is our potter and our lives is in his hands He has the power to form and fashion us as He pleases."He can pluck up and pull down and destroy"
Disobedence:: idolatary and iniquity causes calmaity and misery.
God the potter is more than willing to forgive the iniquity and stubborness and he will not hold back the good things. This is good lessons for Christians /born again or those who worship him in spirit and truth.we should always fear the lord.by living a life that pleasing to Him.

it tells me that God has the power to make us over no matter what our lives use to be like and God wants us to repent from our sins and lets us know we will be judge for disobeying his word
