Vision: (@ TNG 06.22.10) We asked God to come and listen to our prayers for each other. As we prayed, I saw a most beautiful sea anemone glowing in the vast darkness of the deep sea. It's tentacles waved so effortlessly in space. It was feather-like in appearance. Though darkness surrounded the animal, it was bright with bioluminescence and little bits of food sprinkled down around it like snow. The sea anemone catches its food with its tentacles and it travels down to the top of the animal where the mouth is located. I felt there was a passage that explained part of this vision so perfectly:
Ephesians 5:8-14 8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Continuing to press into this word, I found the pieces of food to be seen because these represent the little pieces of knowledge that God illuminates for us to gather and absorb in the same fashion a sea anemone eats. He wants us to fill up on His knowledge...He yearns for us to know Him more.
I am in complete awe of the Lord, His passion for us, and His neverending love. I praise Him for the gifts He has bestowed upon me and I certainly see He has many plans for those in our group and our church. Labels: visions |
