Jeremiah 1:5-10
vs. 5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations." vs. 6 Then I said, "Alas, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak. Because I am a youth. vs. 7 But the Lord said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a youth.' Because everywhere I send you, you shall go. And all that I command you, you shall speak." vs. 8 " Do not be afraid of them. For I am with you," declares the Lord. vs. 9 Then the Lord stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth." vs10 "See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms. To pluck up and to break down. To destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
Many times God calls those of us who are not eloquent of speech, not qualified by the world's standards, or even by our own! But nonetheless, you are called. He will provide everything that you need to accomplish that which He has ordained and purposed for your life. The calling of a prophet is both to break down and to build, and in that order. God may use one prophet to break, another to build. One sows, one waters, another reaps what he did not sow. God wants to mold us His way. He is the potter, we are the clay. (Jeremiah 18)
In Exodus 4:11, (God told Moses, He would teach him what he is to say!) The Lord who calls you will teach you, through various ways. Study His word, spend time in His presence. Listen carefully to what He is saying to you.
Jeremiah 29:11- "For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope." Sometimes the Lord will remove things from us as we go through the "fire," in order to give us our God ordained destiny!
Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for the good to those who love God, and to those who are called according to His purpose.

Do not be deceived, I will not be mocked, I will not be mocked, says the Lord, I am with you, to cover you, to bring you out, to strengthen and establish you.
Hear Me now, I am about to release an anointing, one that will bring healing and hope to all who serve Me. It is My desire to cause My people to make wealth, great wealth. I long to fill the treasuries of those who love Me, and do My will. Your hope has not been in vain, says the Lord, I have spoken, it is done. Listen to Me, My voice, I will teach you what you are to say, where you are to go, what you are to do. Sell this, buy that, can I not do it? I am able. Yes I am able, says the Lord. Let the weak say, "I am strong," let the poor say, "I am rich". watch your words ,declares the lord, watch them very carefully, out of the fruit of your lips, says the Lord, I will do it. I will do it.
