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. They did not need an external yoke because they wore His yoke. His law (an even higher standard) was written upon their hearts.

I once heard that, when selecting horses for the king, the potential horses were put through rigorous training. Then, exhausted and thirsty, they were allowed to run toward the water. At the very last moment, they were given the command to stop. Only the horses that obeyed were selected for the service of the king. Today, I feel that the Father wants to encourage some people concerning the “hardness” of things in their lives right now. Yes, the resistance is often demonic in origin, but it filters through our Father’s hand UNTO our overcoming. Every sacrifice tips the scales of His justice on our behalf. Be encouraged. Be strengthened this day. Be renewed in strength and grace and purpose. You are entering another gate and with that, promotion and increased authority and dominion… as you are trained to be His “wild” stallion. … Continue readingThe King’s Horses

And be strengthened in Him today! … Continue readingThe Spirit of Might

Dominion

The school of this season seems to be that of walking in dominion, taking authority over all that has been entrusted to me by the Father. It is about learning to co-rule and co-reign with Christ and about gaining the strength to be proactive rather … Continue readingDominion

False Responsibility & the Devourer

I asked the Lord why my life has seemed hard, with so little fruit and why the fruit I do have is often quickly devoured. The very next day, He led me to I Peter 5:6-8: “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, … Continue readingFalse Responsibility & the Devourer

The Dangers of Denial

Escaping, denying or avoiding difficult situations keeps us from growing to maturity, because facing challenges honestly, head-on, is the way we grow up. When we are shielded from those opportunities or avoid them through irresponsibility or addiction, like the moth in the cocoon, we never … Continue readingThe Dangers of Denial

Presumption & Maturity

Presumption is a natural and appropriate characteristic of a child who trusts: “Oh, Daddy will take care of me!” But as we mature, we begin to take on age-appropriate responsibilities, not born of the self-sufficiency connected to fear or pride, but founded on the healthy … Continue readingPresumption & Maturity

Running With The Horses

Did you know that “Your destiny is wrapped up in the same package as the resistance to that destiny!”? It is a spiritual law that we cannot have one without the other. Why? First, it is simply because “the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy” … Continue readingRunning With The Horses
