The Gazelle — The Power of God

The Gazelle
A number of months ago I had a dream, or vision, of a gazelle bounding along some elevated railroad tracks in the brown, dried up fields, coursing across the plains of the Serengeti in Africa.
As the gazelle bounded along, at the same time, a lion was running stride for stride, along the base of the elevated tracks.
As the lion tried to jump up on the tracks, it would tumble back down, get up again and continue its chase of the gazelle.
Every time the lion tried to jump up, it would fall again and again, and each time, the gazelle was able to distance itself more and more from the lion.
In Isaiah 35 it says
“And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of The LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will be upon their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”
The gazelle is a very vulnerable animal; it represents you and me, vulnerable to the wiles of the devil if you are not staying in tune with the Holy Spirit.
The lion represents Satan, who goes about seeking whom he may devour. Scripture says to resist him by being steadfast in the faith, for you know that your brothers in The LORD are going through the same kinds of things.
The LORD has been calling you. “Return to Me, you who have been trying to run your own course, the course of what you think is your own design.
I did not lead you that way, the way in which you have no access to the peace I have for you. For I AM your peace, and I have broken down every wall that has kept you from truly finding My Presence.
Present yourself therefore, as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable unto God; it is the right thing to do.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you can prove what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. For I have called you by name, and you are Mine.
I AM jealous over you with a Godly jealousy. Now come unto Me, for you have heavily laden yourself with those things that don’t belong in your life.
For the Blood of Jesus will make you whole again. Come now, call upon and search for Me with your whole heart, and I will be found by you”, says The LORD.
Miracles
Miracles happen when the Power of God is present.
The Power of God is present in the Word That Is Sent. Jesus is the Word That is Sent..
Therefor Jesus is the Wisdom of God and the Power of God. Miracles will happen, because the Power of God is in the very Name of Jesus.
In Jesus Christ dwells all the fullness of God. Reach out to Him and touch Him, now, and let Him fill you to overflowing.
In the Presence of The LORD there is fullness of Joy.
The Power of God
The Power of God will be found in the open door.
No man can close it. No unclean entity can stop it. No lie can deny it. All doubt will be prosecuted by the truth and will be rendered useless.
No weapon formed against you will prosper; the words spoken against you, you shall condemn.
This is your heritage in The LORD, and your vindication comes from God alone.
Now stand and see the Salvation of The LORD, For He is Faithful Who promised and He will do it.
Great Grace is ahead of you. It is time to believe!

Thus saith the true and living spirit of Yahweh:
Jeremiah 42…….Jeremiah’s Advice to Stay (selah)
7 At the end of ten days, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, 8 and he summoned Johanan son of Kareah, all the commanders of the armies who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.
9 He said to them, “This is what the Lord says, the God of Israel to whom you sent me to bring your petition before him: 10 ‘If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will rebuild and not demolish you, and I will plant and not uproot you, because I relent concerning the disaster that I have brought on you. 11 Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon whom you now fear; don’t be afraid of him’—this is the Lord’s declaration—‘because I am with you to save you and rescue you from him. 12 I will grant you compassion, and he[a] will have compassion on you and allow you to return to your own soil.’
13 “But if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ in order to disobey the Lord your God, 14 and if you say, ‘No, instead we’ll go to the land of Egypt where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn or hunger for food, and we’ll live there,’ 15 then hear the word of the Lord, remnant of Judah! This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are firmly resolved to go to Egypt and stay there for a while, 16 then the sword you fear will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine you are worried about will follow on your heels[b] there to Egypt, and you will die there. 17 All who resolve to go to Egypt to stay there for a while will die by the sword, famine, and plague. They will have no survivor or fugitive from the disaster I will bring on them.’
18 “For this is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Just as my anger and fury were poured out on Jerusalem’s residents, so will my fury pour out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an example for cursing, scorn, execration, and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.’
oh how i need to hear this and receive this.
Thank you.
May His will be done in our lives and in our homes, towns, cities, and countries. In Christ, amen
Great message. One we all need to hear. It reminds us of who and where we are in Christ. Thank you for your post.
My God…Thank You Father.
Thank you for sharing Thomas.
Every Word spoke volumes but especially Isaiah 35. The Lord spoke that Word over me 20 years ago. I’ve memorized it by heart and speak it out often. The picture of the gazelle and the lion has been filed in my heart with this Precious Promise from Him.
Bless your beautiful heart Thomas :)
