Running With Horses : Cue the Eagle

Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church

Jeremiah 12:5

Jeremiah was a prophet in Judah.
God had a message that the people said they were followers of Christ, but they only used their lips. Their actions didn't show them to be followers. Jeremiah was used by God to tell the people that the consequences were coming for everyone just going through the motions.
The broad road leads to hell, the narrow road leads to eternal life!

He started in his hometown.
The false prophets were preaching a message of peace and love.
Jeremiah saw the false prophets "benefiting" from sinning and he was wondering why he wasn't getting "benefits" for preaching the truth.
This made Jeremiah feel like he should quit.
God had a response for this...Jeremiah 12:5
Paraphrased : If you're worn out now, how will you possibly face what I have for you in the future?

1. You ain't seen nothing yet!
God has plans for us, we are meant to run with horses.
Running with horses means we reach our fullest potential, we are doing exactly what God has planned for our lives.
Greater things than this will you see, John 1
2. Opposition escalates with opportunity!
3. Train for the trial you're not in yet!
As you follow God the more you're a target for the enemies arrows.
Storms will come and determine if you're built on a solid rock foundation.
Jude 20
4. He puts to use what He puts you through!
No trial is wasted.
Romans 8
God hols our tears in a bottle, they don't go unnoticed.
2 Corinthians 2:14
5. Your strength will fail!
You will reach a point of exhaustion.
You might question God's love.
You might think what did I do to deserve this?
Following God is a marathon, an endurance sport. What do you do when you are worn out?
Cue the Eagle!
Isaiah 40:31
We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength!
