Jeremiah's Prayer

"Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered?  Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease?  You have planted them, they have also taken root; They grow, they have even produced fruit.  You are near to their lips but far from their mind.  But You know me, O LORD; You see me; And You examine my heart's attitude toward You.  Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter and set them apart for a day of carnage!  How long is the land to mourn and the vegetation of the countryside to wither?  For the wickedness of those who dwell in it, animals and birds have been snatched away, because men have said, 'He will not see our latter ending.'  If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses"  If you fall down in a land of peace, how will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?"  Jeremiah 12:1-5

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT:
You have been with the footmen, and have kept the horses out till this point.  You can't keep out the horses - but you can steer them in the right direction.  You can't keep them out - but you can get a reign on them.  You can steer them where Jesus tells you He wants them to go.  AS YOU TAKE YOUR AUTHORITY AND DOMINION - AND REIGN OVER THE HORSES - THEY WILL NOT TREAD OVER YOUR LAND.  You can't let them run you down or run you over.  I am speaking to Spirit-filled believers: Govern what God has put in your hands - not just in the natural - but in the Spirit.  If God has given you strength in the Spirit, then you need to start executing it and using it.  Biding and loosing.  Exercise your authority!!
