<b>TEXT</b><b>S</b><b>:  </b><b>JEREMIAH 33:1-3</b>

<b>INTRODUCTION</b><b>  </b>
<ol>
	<li>Many of us are dealing with something that we cannot handle</li>
	<li>Many of us are in situations where we have more questions than answers</li>
</ol>
<b>IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE  </b><b>(Jeremiah Chapter 32)</b>

A.  Jeremiah is in prison in the king’s house
<ol>
	<li>Why? Jeremiah did not prophesy what the king wanted to hear</li>
	<li>Jeremiah prophesied that the king would not have success against the Chaldeans</li>
	<li>Jeremiah prophesied what God told him</li>
</ol>
B.  God spoke to Jeremiah
<ol>
	<li>Your cousin will come to you to buy his field</li>
	<li>His cousin came and said exactly what God said that he would</li>
	<li>Jeremiah bought the field for 17 shekels of silver</li>
	<li>Jeremiah signed the deed, sealed it, took witnesses, weighed out the money on scales and gave the deed to Baruch in the presence of the witnesses</li>
</ol>
C.  Jeremiah prayed for revelation for why he was told to buy the field
<ol>
	<li>Jeremiah acknowledges that the city is given to the Chaldeans</li>
	<li>Yet, God tells him to buy the field in the presence of witnesses</li>
</ol>
D.  God responds
<ol>
	<li>“Is there anything too hard for me?”</li>
	<li>“I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans.”</li>
	<li>“I will bring them back to this place, to dwell safely</li>
	<li>“Fields will be bought in this land of which you say ‘it is desolate without man or beast, it has been given onto the hand of  the Chaldeans.”</li>
</ol>
<b>HOWEVER</b><b>,</b>

A.  The Word came a second time while he was still in prison
<ol>
	<li>Jeremiah is still in prison</li>
	<li>His situation did not change</li>
</ol>
B.  “Call to me”
<ol>
	<li>God tells me to call on Him</li>
	<li>I may not have other things. However, I always have God</li>
</ol>
C.  “I will answer you”
<ol>
	<li>God tells us to call, and tells us He will answer</li>
	<li>Compare to what John says in I John 5:14, 15</li>
</ol>
D.  “And show you great and mighty things, which you do not know”
