Guest Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 The Lamb And The Lion by Mark SheibleyThe bible has 2 symbolic animals that have been used to represent Jesus...One is The Lamb... the other is The Lion... For some time now the church has been walking and viewed as just The Lamb. The Lamb is calm, gentle, harmless and often represented as a sacrifice. This is a good picture of what Jesus and the church is and has been in the years past. But now as the day of the lord aproaches, God is calling the other symbolic animal, The Lion, to awake in the church today....The Lion is bold....The Lion is courageous....The Lion knows exactly who he is (King of the jungle)....The Lion knows he has dominion and in no way or form is intimidated....The Lamb must remain because it has the qualities that God requires in us, but the time is here for The Lion to come forth in all of us! The Lion will be seen in the church through a new generation of people that God is raising up now...These people will be full of the Holy Spirit and will know who they are and what they are called to do! They will not be moved or intimidated by (the so called religious leaders) of today! For they will know that they have only one Leader and that is Christ (Mathew 23:10) and they will be totally submitted to Him alone! They will not walk defeated with their heads down or be beat up with the teachings of the modern day pharisses, but they will be so full of Holy Spirit that they will boldly procalim what God is speaking. And they will not go around trying to persuade people with words but will operate with Power and Demonstration of the Holy Spirit (1Corinthians 2:4)! For too long now the church has just been operating by the Word only and has been very weak on Power and Demonstration of the Holy Spirit. As The Lion moves in (by the Holy Spirit) the church will again walk in Power as God has designed it to in the beginning and the biggest move of God ever to be seen will take place! This is all part of God preparing of His bride before The return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!Check out some new music I've done here '>http://www.ampcast.com/MarkSheibley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
