THE POTTER JER. 18:1-12

INTRODUCTION

JEREMIAH TEACHES US THAT GOD IS THE POTTER AND WE ARE THE CLAY AND THAT WHEN WE ARE CRACKED, HE DOESN’T GIVE UP.

HE CONTINUES TO REMAKE US.

HE DOESN’T THROW US AWAY WHEN HE KNOWS THAT WE ARE BROKEN

HE COULD HAVE THROWN IT AWAY BUT HE STUCK WITH IT

I LOVE PEOPLE THAT STICK WITH ME ANYWAY, REGARDLESS OF WHERE I’M WEAK, BROKEN

GOD WILL TOUCH PEOPLE THAT DON’T TURN OUT RIGHT

IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD, WE ARE ALL CRACKED SOMEWHERE IN SOMEWAY

THE SAME HAND THAT LIFTS YOU, REFORMS YOU

THIS IS NOT A LICENSE TO SIN

BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVE A PASSPORT TO HELL

YOU COME TO CHURCH BUT DON’T WANT TO CHANGE

YOU JUST WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED

YOU DON’T WANT THE WORD TO CHANGE YOU, YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE WORD

GOD WILL NOT LIFT SOME GRACE AS LONG AS YOU ARE MAKING PROGRESS, BUT ONCE YOU THINK YOUR DISFUNTION IS THE DESTINATION, THEN YOU HAVE PROBLEMS.

YOU HAVE DESIGNED YOUR THEOLOGY AROUND YOUR PROBLEMS

HAVE YOU DESIGNED YOUR THEOLOGY AROUND SOMETHING THAT GOD WANTS TO FIX?

GOD WILL ACCEPT YOU AS LONG AS YOU ARE CHANGING

BECAUSE, WE ARE NOT IN THE AGE OF CHANGE BUT ACCEPTANCE

ACCEPT ME THE WAY THAT I AM

THE VESSEL THAT WAS MARRED, GOD MADE IT AGAIN ANOTHER

YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE IN AN AREA THAT YOU HAVE ACCEPTED

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ANGRY, WHEN YOU SAY THAT’S HOW I AM, I AM SKINNY BUT THAT’S HOW I AM

BUT, I GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY MORNING BECAUSE I WANT TO BE BETTER

IF THERE IS A CHANCE I CAN CHANGE, CHALLENGE ME

GOD IS NOT TRYING TO PLEASE YOU

GOD IS TRYING TO GET YOU TO PLEASE HIM

WE WANT TO BRING GOD DOWN TO OUR REACH

PEOPLE WANT EVERYTHING TO FIT THEM

GOD TOOK THE CLAY AND NEVER DROPPED IT, NEVER LET GO, NEVER CAST IT DOWN, NEVER REJECTED IT

HE KEPT WORKING ON IT

GOD IS WORKING ON YOU THROUGH ALL OF YOUR PAIN, TEARS, DISAPPOINTMENT

GOD WILL WORK ON YOU UNTIL YOU STOP TRUSTING IN FLESH OR IN MAN

GOD’S FINGERS ARE IN YOUR FAILURES

EVERYONE WHO ABUSED ME, MISTREATED ME, LEFT ME

I SAW GOD’S FINGERS

AND I HAD TO FORGIVE

AND REALIZED THAT GOD USED MY ENEMIES MORE THAN MY FRIENDS AND I HAD TO LET THEM GO.

MUCH OF THE THINGS THAT GOD HAS DONE HAS DISRUPTED YOU, DISTURBED YOU, AND TOOK YOU OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

NEXT TIME YOUR HEART IS BROKEN, SING “TO GOD BE THE GLORY”

ALL OF THE BODY IS REPRESENTED IN THE HAND

BY DOING REFLEXOLOGY ON THE HAND, WE CAN TOUCH EVERYTHING IN THE BODY

WHEN I LAY HANDS ON YOU EVERYTHING IN ME IS IN THAT HAND

EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE IS IN THAT HAND

WHEN JESUS LAYS HIS HAND ON YOU, EVERYTHING THAT IS IN HIM ENTERS YOU

IN BIBLE DAYS, THE FATHER’S LAID HANDS ON HIS SONS

AND THE SONS RECEIVED EVERYTHING THAT THE FATHER HAS IS TRANSFERRED TO THE SONS.
