Lion, Ox, Eagle, Man

I was standing before the Beautiful One. His face was flashing “Lion, Ox, Eagle, Man,” as shafts of light and lightning bolts shot from His faces. His eyes flickered between blazing fire and an infinite sea of stars and galaxies. As I gazed into His eyes, I became entrained in His rhythm… so gentle, so strong. I began to notice that my face was mirroring His image: Lion, Ox, Eagle, Man. … Continue readingLion, Ox, Eagle, Man

The King’s Horses

In a recent encounter, I saw a herd of horses…. wild, fierce, strong, fast as lightning. At first they appeared to be untamed because they had no bit or bridle (yoke of man), but then I realized that they were the King’s horses.

Pruning

No one enjoys being pruned.  It is painful.  It is confusing.  And darkness is often right there releasing “fiery dart” thoughts of fear and failure.  But according to Jesus, pruning is a compliment. I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every … Continue readingPruning
