God bless you. Main Texts: Jeremiah 15:16; 16:19-21; 31:31-34; Isaiah 55:8-11  A special word or communication came to a young priest unexpectedly, supernatural: he didn’t read it in the Torah. It was a prophetic word/communication, directly to him and it began to transform his world. God speaks through multiple venues: visions, dreams, impressions, through the body of Christ, special messages by His Spirit: usually Sovereign. Such a communication came to Jeremiah and many others (Paul) in Scripture. And we must be open to God speaking to us supernaturally (usually called a “Rhema” word among Pentecostals.) But most Importantly all the above must be fairly evaluated by the written word, “rightly divided.” 2 Timothy 3:15-17 But also note Hebrews 4:12-13; consider in verse 13, the Word is referred to a Him, Jesus Christ! John chapter 1, Jesus is referred to as “The word of God” and co-creator. Also, the prophetic word given to a prophet is reflected in Isaiah 55:8-11. Also, in the New Testament, Acts 1:8 and Act 2 etc. In the New Testament such sovereign personal communication frequently occurred and to His servants, both deacons and apostles. But, because of human imperfections, Paul suggests both openness and caution; 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22. God continues at His choosing instructs us by such communication. In Jeremiah’s case, the prophetic word came as a hammer confronting a challenging the other prophets of the temple's prophetic guilds; and the rulers of Judah who participated in syncretistic practices. They claimed that while they had the sacred Temple among them, God would never judge them: This is never true (Jeremiah 7:1-7). People not buildings are therefore as a result of God’s prophetic communication to him, he suffered much persecution: note Jeremiah 20:1-6; 38:6 and finally the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians. What Jeremiah experienced is that these communication from God, in his particular situation, caused him personal conflict and some theological confusion.
