Old Dog IV

October 13, 2001:
Amid the visions from the weekend there was one about a pebble. JESUS was standing in front of me and held up a pebble.
“IT LOOKS SO SMALL, DOG. AND BY ITSELF IT LOOKS LIKE MANY OF OTHERS. ALONE IT IS NOTHING. NEVER WILL MEAN ANYTHING UNLESS I TOUCH IT.”
As HE HELD it I saw that picture of a pebble falling into a pond and the ring of water that rose up and moved across the surface to the outermost edges.
“THAT WAS HOW MANY HAVE SEEN MY WORD AND MY WILL AND MY GLORY AND MY ANOINTING AND MY BLESSINGS AND MY FAVOR MOVING AS WAVES UPON WAVES. DO YOU REMEMBER MY LITTLE WARNING ABOUT MIXING METAPHORS AND IMAGES?
Suddenly we were standing on the pinnacle of THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD. I watched HIM smile and say….”LET ME GIVE YOU A NEW IMAGE.”
I watched HIM toss the pebble into the air and it fell on the mountain slope. Where it hit it loosened pebbles and rocks and ice and snow….. which all slowly began to slide downhill. As it “flowed” more and more of the mountain broke loose and joined in. It was not long till a great roaring was occurring as the avalanche increased in size and power.
“MY WORD SAYS I WILL ROAR FORTH FROM ZION. DO YOU THINK THEY EVER IMAGINED IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS? DID YOU EVER THINK THEY COULD REALLY STOP WHAT I HAVE INTENDED TO DO?”
Immediately I thought of the dragons and their minions playing for high stakes at the table among themselves. They have no real clue. Nor do we. “YOU’VE GOT TO REMEMBER MY RULES.” TELL THEM THAT FOR ME. IT IS ALL WRITTEN. IF ANYONE WILL JUST STUDY AND LEARN…. FOLLOW ME AND LEARN…COME TO ME AND LEARN.”
“IT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE HARD DOG. DOGS AND BABIES DO IT NATURALLY AND WITHOUT PRETENSE. EVERYONE ELSE STRUGGLES.”
And that was it. As usual…let everyone interpret it as they like. I have no clear answers personally. but that is typical. There is an old saying…”either shut up…or cut the cards.” I think it is time to “play for higher stakes”.
