God Said it, and That's Enough For Me
Jeremiah 1:12 says: "Then said the Lord unto me, You have well seen: for I will hasten my Word to perform it." This reveals to us that when God says something, He is actively watching over it and waiting for someone to believe it and act upon it. God says He will hasten, and He will move quickly to fulfill the Word that He has spoken. God has already determined what He will do on your behalf. He has already seen your needs, your battles, your conflicts and shortcomings, and the things you will have to deal with. He has spoken to you, and He has given you a word. He says this or that about your situation, and then He says, "I will hasten. I will quickly move toward fulfilling that which I have spoken." Remember, God said that He's not a man that He should lie or repent, nor the son of man that He should turn from it. Realize, if God said it, He will make it good. If He spoke it, He will bring it to pass. What does this mean for you? When God speaks something, it's His Word, and it's His Word as if He was speaking from Heaven for the very first time to you personally. He will not turn from it, nor will He fail to bring it to pass. Read the Word, and read it as if God's voice is in there. Don't read it like a book, but read it like God is speaking to you right now.

Living Just Enough For The City
The year is the 6th century B.C. and the Israelites have been carried away to Babylonia. Babylon is a very beautiful, yet brutal city. Their
are three competing thoughts about this move into the city.
The people of Babylon take the Israelites there to strip away their spiritual identity.
The false prophets of Israel; tell the people not to move into the city and keep their spiritual identity.
God through the prophet Jeremiah tell the people to move into the city and keep their spiritual identity. As a matter of fact God tells the Israelites to move in and serve the city out of their unique spiritual identity.
Jeremiah 29:4-7
4 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce.
6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.
(KJV) Jeremiah 29:7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
In the bible "Shalom" means total flourishing in absolutely every dimension: physically, relationally, socially, and spiritually.
one way to think of shalom is in a cloth. In a cloth each tread is woven together to make the cloth prosperous. The treads are woven or lineup in a way that brings beauty and benefit for the cloth.
In the same way, we as the church or woven together or lineup to bring beauty and benefit...Shalom, total flourishing in every dimension: physically, relationally, socially, and spiritually were we are called.
This means we must serve and love those who need help and protection.
Bring God's love, peace, and justice to bear on a broken world.
Create and cultivate culture.
Hold our Christ as the ultimate satisfaction.
This is why we are a city set on a hill! Now, one of the ways we do this is through the spiritual gifts operating in the church.
