What if you saw the Lion of Judah on a leash being led out of the building by men. He turned His head toward you to see and pray.. Almost a look for help……. As you went to go to the Lion. The door was barred and you noticed no one was in the pool surrounded by glass walls…… You had to move all the furniture that was blocking your access to the way through the pool and to get to the Lion.
If this was a dream what would it mean? Could you ever allow the look of the Lion to vanish from your thoughts or sight without praying? Oh Father of all, please have mercy.
Lord, we will not despise Your prophecies or quench Your precious Spirit as written in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5…..
There was a conversation that was passed along between Charles Spurgeon and a bible salesman, and Spurgeon spoke- oh dear man, just let the Lion go.
How can a man get a leash on the Lion of Judah?
And why would anyone want to leash and bind our mighty King?
Hmm, wondering and wondering…… Let Him go and He will never stop. But what can stop the mighty Lion of Judah?
Our unbelief and man’s agenda or system of religion. Where men call Him Lord but do not exalt Him.
As Psalm 78 is written in verses 40-42: How often they provoked Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert! Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power: the day when He redeemed them from the enemy.
Yes, the pleasing way to the Father of Lights is to walk by faith.
Worship Him above all else.
Walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
Walk by faith and not by sight.
We the redeemed of God, say and should be living in the above ways of God.
As He speaks into our ear this minute……
Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires for come after Me, let Him deny himself,, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
For the Son of Man will come in glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom, ( Matthew 16:24-28).
So then Jesus tells us to lay down our life and take His.
Remember, when He died we died with Him and when He rose, we have risen into His new life with Him.
So then, why might the King of glory be leashed?
We want what we want and will not look to what He wants. Our flesh quenches the Spirit of God and our reason and our prejudice. Selah!!
His way of moving this day is different than ever before for most Christian Americans.
Do we want the King of glory or do we want the way we have always done things?
What if all was gone but Him? We sat before His face and ……..
Hearing His Word and speaking those same words returning into His ears.
Knowing they shall be fulfilled by a heart of faith filled of Him.
Can we hear His click of fingers and turn with our eyes closed and walk by faith?
Can we stop all for Him? Can we hear Him? Can we leave all for Him?
Bible studies with Him are enlightening and retained in one’s heart.
Do not be deceived, we live before the Lion of Judah today and not before men.
Can the Lion of Judah build a feast in the midst of a desert? Absolutely!
Can the Lion of Judah be free to move and have His way in a prison cell? Absolutely!!
Picture a father coming home from a long day and his table has been prepared by his doing, his hand….
and every one was too busy to come sit before him……. They did not even know He was there all the time waiting for them………
Yes, it is hard on the flesh to meet with our God in faith, but oh, you cannot stop the rewards and yes, the persecution comes as well……. The evil one does not like you in communion with the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit……Jump high over the distractions and keep His gaze.
Can we see the New Year today as unleashing the Holy One in our lives and learn to understand with Wisdom the ways of our King? A one on one with the God of the universe…. He is at His table sitting to share all His Person with us……
Jump in the pool which represents being filled with the fire of His Spirit within you….. Let Him in and then let the fire go. Yes, He leads and we follow….. Do not quench Him or leash Him. He is glorious and wonderful…. He wants to make us as Him too! You want to be glorious and wonderful as we partake of the greatness of our King? You will not see that in you but Him shining through!
Come on and jump in and then learn to become small and He soooooo BIG!!!!
Please let us pray and learn not to leash our King and live in the pool of His Holy Spirit where the water is clear and fresh and gives life, eternal life to all who will believe and go on a path that is just made for you.
He is waiting for His kids at His table……. to teach, to share, to rise and enlist His chosen.
COME AND SEE!!!!!!
Selah!!!
Remember as written in 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Now the Lord is the Spirit; where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Only by the Spirit of God may we hear the Spirit of God……..Come on in and walk in His newness of life and go where we have never gone but He has….. Trust the King and walk with Him this day.
It is a new day everyday and a new adventure and a bit overwhelming, but He says that is why He is with us to show us how to walk as He did.. and does….. Trust Him and come on to the table.
Then we shall realize when the leash is on Him, it is actually on us for we have tied His hands from being God to us and through us by our unbelief.
Remember, the empty go away full from our Shepherd and the full go away empty……….He has set a provision for our journey………..Guess where you will find it……….and apprehend it.
As we step from faith to faith and glory to glory, His Spirit will keep us fully standing in His name for it is all about His fame……. in His name, on His firm foundation, the Word of God. Do not fear, in faith of Him is where we lay our victory in….We only do what we see Him do and say and then wait, for He is faithful and true. Be still and know He is God and will be exalted among the nations. Just keep in time with His rhythm and rhyme, for He is so very sublime. Investing your life in His hands is the best risk that you will ever take……. He will have us lean all the way, even when it feels we will fall, but oh, look at us now. We have climbed unto another plateau. We are with Him all His way as He shows us His kingdom that He has bestowed. The romance of the King and His own will never be quite known by any then those who chose to follow Him in His step. They left all behind to pick up the cross that we carry now, but the delight in His Spirit takes the sorrow away and look at us now for joy has her full way…..
Don’t stand there and watch like through a looking glass. Join us and meet Him at the cross…… He is there and not there for all eternity….. Join us at the table of the King, for there is always room for you…..In truth of Him, He has set a place for you.
Selah!!
