The Colt

Jesus came riding on a donkey.

As I read this, I felt that there was a message that the Holy Spirit was imparting as to why He chose the colt instead of the horse. So, I will differentiate the characteristics of the two.

Horses are stronger but scare easily and may not sense impending danger. Whereas the colt can only carry a fraction of the weight but are more reliable and actually avoid danger. Donkeys also have excellent memories, with the ability to recognize people and other donkeys up to 25 years later. Horses are faster and live longer, nevertheless they are skittish. Donkeys, on the other hand, are more reliable and will stand and fight against their enemies.

Think of the mule that was used to forbid the madness of the prophet. Speaking in a human voice, the donkey saw the Angel standing in the rode preparing to kill Balaam. Its instinct was to protect himself, but in doing so he saved Balaam's life.

It was the fast, furious, unrelenting driving of the horses that the Egyptians rode into the Red Sea that led to all of their demise. They chose horses because of their power. Jesus chose the donkey because of its calm, slow, but steadfast discernment.

When Adonijah attempted to usurp the throne from king Solomon, David had his servants place Solomon on his own personal mule to signify that David chose him to reign in his stead.

The Humble Spirit of the LORD

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. Jesus is so meek, yet powerful. The Creator of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein.

It is said that the Israelites expected that when He came there would be no doubt that He was God. Leading to many of them abandoning Jesus as their LORD and Saviour.

This is why establishing a relationship with the Father is so important. When God showed himself to Ezekiel, He proved His authority in the great and powerful wind, the earthquake, and the fire...Then a still small voice.

Man's Destructiveness vs The Gentleness of the Spirit

Man-made inventions can wreak havoc and annihilate his existence upon the earth. Yet, in all of this, I see a pride in man that refuses to see that he is as frail as the dust. Even when death is lying at the door. When they recover from illness, they brag of their strength and their might. Never once giving glory to God for His mercy.

But the Holy Spirit (the gentleman) deals with him as such, in gentleness. The Spirit is so powerful that we cannot stand in His presence without being consumed.

Yet He only, has allowed me to live. I will bless Him always. His praises shall continually be in my mouth.

There is a profound revelation in this!!!

When the LORD Goes Before You!!!

When the LORD Goes Before You!!! “Know [without any doubt], that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) people. Remember [with remorse] and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. And at Horeb (Sinai) you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9: 4-8, AMP). Many of us focus on Moses' fasting for forty days and forty nights. But he had to go back up for a second time, for forty more days and nights, hewing two tablets of stone himself, as he fasted and prayed for the lives of the Israelites, including his brother Aaron. In God’s mercy they spent forty years in the wilderness, and He was not wrong if He would have condemned them to eighty years. Before we procee...

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!!

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!! People say that they love their family and friends and believe that it gives them the right to overlook evil. That they should hold themselves higher than God Himself by saying, “I absolve you of your sin”. Who would ignore the Holy Scriptures because they feel sorry for them and because they themselves are full of transgression. So that while they overlook wrongdoing in others, the same should be done unto them. I spoke to my daughter, that my children will say, I love my brothers and sisters, but you don’t love each other enough to warn them of impending judgment. A judgment that has two outcomes. Darkness and torment in a lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels, where the worm dieth not. Where you have been given a new body that will withstand torment that only God can inflict, that will never be utterly destroyed. A horror that lasts forever. Or the reassurance given by God Himself. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor e...

Spiritual Deafness is Increasing!!!

Spiritual Deafness is Increasing!!! “These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: and ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place” (Deuteronomy 12: 1-3, KJV). While reading this, the LORD is instilling in me the understanding that we should have a zeal for Him above all things. Every idol in our lives, including man, woman, or child should be thrust down. Unhealthy relationships and mindsets cast out. The need to be worshipped. Greed, covetousness, and gluttony. The increasing pride, lust, sexual immorality. DISOBEDIENCE, and...
