“The Jeremiahs Are Coming – With the Word of God in Their Mouths!”
by Brian Simmons, Wichita, KS

A great outpouring of the Holy Spirit is coming upon this generation. These world changers and Word proclaimers will be known as the Jeremiah Generation. The Word of God will be in their mouths and they will destroy and build; tear down and plant. Get ready…too-hot-to-handle young adults are coming to a church and area near you!
Here’s what they’ll look like:
1. They are prophetic. They will hear the Word of the Lord.
“The word of the Lord came to me…” (Jeremiah 1:4)
It’s not enough for them to hear the Word of the Lord from others—even their gifted mentors and teachers. They must have the Word of the Lord come to them.
2. They are healed.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew and approved of you as My chosen instrument, and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; and I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 AMP)
Imagine a generation that is not dysfunctional, co-dependent or insecure. They are known by God, approved by God—chosen and consecrated to be a prophetic generation to the nations.
Here are the words that can heal the Jeremiah Generation:
“I formed you” = God’s touch and image is upon us.
“I knew you” = God’s intimate relationship with us, He knows us and still chose us.
“I set you apart” = We are separated for a unique destiny.
“I appointed you” = No one can move us when we rest in God’s favor. Appointed by God Himself.
3. They are weak. That’s right…weak!
“‘O Lord God,’ I said, ‘I can’t do that! I’m far too young! I’m only a youth!'” (Jeremiah 1:6 TLB)
Excuses, excuses, excuses…I think that’s all God hears when He calls us. For some it is: “I don’t know how to speak!” For others its: “I’m still immature, I’m not ready—call someone else!”
A fearful, intimidated, not-yet-perfect generation is about to become God’s end-time warriors. Weakness never disqualifies us! It is our strengths that God has to break and overcome…truly He has no need of our strengths, only our weakness surrendered to Him.
Human weakness can actually become a billboard for divine strength! Get ready—the Jeremiah Generation is coming and God alone will be their strength. Terrifying thought…God ALONE will be their strength! So the Lord would say to the Jeremiah generation: “‘Don’t say that,’ He replied, ‘for you will go wherever I send you and speak whatever I tell you to. And don’t be afraid of the people, for I, the Lord, will be with you and see you through.'” (Jeremiah 1:7-8 TLB)
4. The Word of the Lord will be in their mouths!
“Then the Lord reached out His hand and touched my mouth and said to me, ‘Now, I have put My words in your mouth.'” (Jeremiah 1:9)
Ladies and gentlemen, the Word of the Lord is about to come forth from this generation. Everyone has given up on them; no one seems to trust them or listen to them…but just wait. God will save the day! Even NOW His hand is coming upon them to place the very words of GOD in their mouths. Great will be their anointing and great will be His victory through them.
Speak as One Speaking The Very Words of God
I awoke the other night from a dream and I saw it: God’s hand was placing WORDS in the mouths of this Jeremiah Generation! They will not bring us boring sermons but each one will be speaking “…as one speaking the very words of God…” (1 Peter 4:11).
It will be just like Joshua who spoke to God and the sun stopped in the sky (this was the day the earth stood still). The moon slowed to a halt over the valley of Aijalon. Never before had God “listened” or “harkened” to the voice of a man (Joshua 10:12-14). It was because His man had His Word put into his mouth. The word used for when God “listened” is actually translated 89 times in the Hebrew text as obey. God OBEYED the Word of a man!
Check it out: In Psalm 81:10 God challenges us with these words, “Open wide your mouth and I will fill it!” What will God fill our mouths with? I remember when I first found that verse I thought it meant God will give me food when I need it…but this is not about God giving you Krispy Kremes. The Hebrew text actually reads, “Open wide your mouth and I will FULFILL it!”
God wants to FILL the mouths of this generation with HIS Word then FULFILL it when they speak it forth! Get ready…a bold new generation of Believers are arising with the Word of the Lord in their mouths. They aren’t consumed with hobbies, hype and hiding their faults. They are consumed with holiness and declaring the Word. It will come to pass for this Jeremiah generation!
