THE GREAT LION ROARS
For weeks, I've been feeling low. There's been this restlessness and heaviness inside my heart. A kind of sorrow that I could barely contain. I'd find myself almost always in brink of tears. I've been digging into the Word, but felt my emotions too overwhelming that even my prayers were cluttered and I ended up more frustrated. I've been crying out, "Jesus, I need you. Help me focus on You." But instead I only found silence.
Then this morning, I woke up to my phone's alarm with an anxious heart. But instead of clicking my Bible App, I ended up going here on Facebook and going to a page I was following - Spiritburnlife. I scrolled down their encouraging photos and came across the link to their YouTube channel. That's where I found a video called "The Lion with the Bright Blue Eyes (click on link to watch video). I mindlessly clicked on it since I've been marveling over how beautiful lions are these past few days. My prayers were answered.
I was in tears as Mark (the speaker) narrated his vision, describing how the majestic, ferocious white Lion snatched the package (of sorrow, loneliness, pain...) and how He (the Lion of Judah) shredded it to pieces with His teeth... how the Lord told him through this vision: Give me, give me those things and I will devour them, I will consume them, I will destroy them, because they were not meant for you, they were meant for Me. I like to take them, I long to destroy them, I love to consume pain, sickness, loneliness, fear, despair, and sin..." I loved how Mark decribed the undeniable power, majesty and authority of the Lion that caused him to tremble. But that there was no fear because he knew the the Lion was not against him, but for him.
"Katrina, Katrina! Hold out your hands and give your burdens to Me!" This was what the Lord impressed in my heart. And so I did. I surrendered. I gave them all up. And that morning, I looked at my reflection in the mirror and saw the happy glow in my eyes that has been missing for days. I was finally at peace.
Then call on Me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give ME glory.” Psalm 50:15 (NLT)
Praising the Lord for Mark and their ministry. All Glory to GOD, our King!
