Those who expect to receive the comforts of God, we must turn to him. In Jeremiah 33: 3 we are given some essential keys to receive what comes from the Lord. Promises are given, it should not be done immediately, but to accelerate and encourage prayer. These promises lead us to the gospel of Christ; and in which God has revealed the truth to us, and of direct peace to make us easy.
History of Jeremias
This is one of the great promises of the bible. But let's see a bit of history. Why did God tell Jeremiah to cry? Where was Jeremiah when God gives him this promise?
In Jeremiah 32: 2.5 we read that Jeremiah was imprisoned because King Zedekiah was upset because he had prophesied words that did not favor him; the city would be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon and he would not escape from the hands of the Chaldeans.
In this verse of Jeremiah 33: 3 he is being advised by God to pray in prison. For forty years, the prophet Jeremiah had warned that Judah and Jerusalem would be destroyed for their sins, and now the armies of Babylon were in the wall of the city. Jeremiah was thrown into a hole in prison. For human thought it was beyond any doubt that God's promises to Israel would be a failure. It was precisely in that dark time that God comes to his servant with words of encouragement. Now, let's see what is to cry? To cry is to moan, to be afflicted, to beg. The dictionary says "Complain about asking for help".
Clamar comes from the Hebrew word Cará, which means to harass a person, to insist without desisting. God told Jeremiah, cry out to me, be afflicted before me, groan before me, insist without desisting before me, and I will answer you; and not only will I answer you, but I will also teach you great things, and things that are hidden from you, and that you do not even imagine knowing.
Here are some clues that will help you to claim and understand what this biblical passage of Jeremiah 33: 3 means in our Christian life and God wants you to use it because it is one of the promises made to your people.
3 Keys in Jeremiah 33: 3
- Cry to me.
God reveals to Jeremiah that he calls, notice that he does not say pray when you can and when I have time I will answer you. Neither does it tell you, think about you, while I think about whether I answer or not; but it tells you that CLAME; Cry out to me now, unburden yourself, discharge your cry for that city over me, cast your burdens and your need upon me, for I will answer you.
This is a living promise, even in our days for you and me. The Lord tells us: cry out of your heart for your needs, for your family, for your city and for your people, do it believing because I will answer you. Who do we have to cry? To Jehovah of armies. Cry out to Him alone, cry out to God alone, insist only on Him.
God wants us to call only Him, not the boss, not the institution, not the government, but only Him. Whenever you have any spiritual, material or physical need, go to the one who provides everything, make it from the bottom from your heart and God will tell you, I will answer you.
- And I will answer you
God tells us, he gives us his word that "He will answer us" The answer will come and God wants you to recognize who was the one who answered you. On several occasions we receive the miracle and we give credit to the doctor, family member, friend, bank, but less God. That is why he says "I will answer you" (Psalm 91:15) "He will call on me, and I will answer him; with him I will be in anguish; I will free him and glorify him. "
We have to invoke God without ceasing. "And I will answer you" Without a doubt, some fear that they are invoked or that they have called and there was no response. But believe in these words here, "I will answer you". In your time and in your ways you will respond.
- And I will teach you great and hidden things that you do not know.
When the human being moves the heart of God under a cry, for the Lord is pleased to hear from him and it is there where he shows his infinite mercy to those who cry, as he tells us in Jeremiah 33: 3, we must believe that if you He moves to cry out to the Father, He will show him even things he does not know.
God is always waiting at the door for his children, his greatest creation to cry out to Him and, He can show him the mysteries hidden in his kingdom, because this promise is about knowing the Kingdom of God, He calls us at this time to cry to be able to reveal to us what we do not know and that is in his heart to give his true children, those who really want to see, hear and touch the spiritual world so that they can lower God's designs to the earth.
We do not know the thoughts of God. He has prepared for us great and hidden things that we ourselves can not imagine. We do not know the will of God. We will never be able to understand God with our human mind; but as his word says in Jeremiah 33: 3 Cry out to me and I will answer you, this means that if we cry we will see his answer and he will show us even more than we cry out. He himself tells us in (Isaiah 55: 8-9) "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts more than your thoughts. "
Your cry before God moves your heart.
As children of God, we must present ourselves before his throne with humility, kneeling before his majesty, accepting the will of God. We must give God our way, and he will do for us, learn to
wait.
The secret to opening the door of God's world and moving his hand is by crying out. It is not a common and current outcry, fervent, with moans, the one that cries out with all yearning. This type of clamor is the one that moves God and the one who moves it to show us the secret answer that greatly surpasses our thoughts and understandings.
