THE LION AND THE LAMB

John 1:29b  "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."

As I was worshiping in church Sunday morning, the Lord just kept downloading into my spirit.  He told me about waiting on Him, He showed me how precious it was to stand with others in unity and worship Him for just who He is, with no other reason but to worship Him.  He loved how He was being worshiped. 

Then as wave after wave of His glory came through the sanctuary, as I was worshiping, eyes closed, the Lord gave me a vision.  My Father appeared before me, and no, I could not see Him, a Spirit actually, not like a person; but He was holding a precious Lamb and had His hand on the Lion that was by His side.  As I stood before Him, He told me to hold out my hands and when I did He placed the Lamb in my hands. He told me to hold the Lamb to my heart.  As I drew the Lamb to my heart, I could feel the Lamb's heart beating next to mine.  As I held the Lamb tighter, our hearts beating in rhythm, the Lamb's heart seem to beat stronger and stronger.  Then I felt the blood, the blood of the Lamb begin to wash over me, over and over again; like at a car wash when the water sweeps back and forth along the sides of your car; the blood was washing back and forth, over and over, top to bottom, cleansing me, cleansing me from all sin.  As I looked at the Father, He smiled at me and told me that the blood of the precious Lamb of God was for once and for all, cleansing me from all sin, the sins of my past, the sins of my present and any sin that would be commited in my future.  My sins, all, forever, were cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.  As I felt the blood flow cease, I realized I only felt one heart beat now and when I felt concern, the Lord knew what was bothering me.  He told me not to think that the Lamb had left me; no, He was there, our hearts had become one.  I was now one with Him as I was made righteous by His blood, and was no longer separate from Him, but one with Him.

The Father then drew my attention to the Lion.  I saw the Lion pacing back and forth in front of me, then He began to circle around me, each time going further and further out from me.  The Lord told me that as the blood of the Lamb had cleansed me, made me righteous and one with Him, the Lion was marking my territory with His scent.  He was enlarging my territory with each pass around me and was marking it with His fragrance that was unmistakable to the enemy.  He was marking my territory, claiming it as His own, letting all know that I, and the territory given me, had been sanctified by Almighty God and woe to anyone that would attempt to harm me or take what had been assigned and given to me, or placed in my care.

My Lord then told me to always remember these things, and He reached over and lifted the Lamb from my arms and He walked away, the Lion following Him. 

Can you understand why I love to worship my Lord.  Amazing blessings come when you worship the Lord with all your heart, from the depths of your spirit.  I was so blessed Sunday and continue to be as I will never forget what my Lord showed me, what He gave me to hold in my heart, to rejoice in my spirit.  My sins, washed by the blood of the Lamb, making me one with Him.  My life, the place the Lord has put me, the territory, the plans He is opening up to me, sanctified, marked by His hand to keep me safe as I do His will.  My God, how I love You.  I will worship You for all my life, for all my days.

The precious Lamb of Glory, One with those that worship Him in spirit and truth; the Lion of Judah, going about marking the territory around God's children with His Power, His Strength, His Might, proclaiming this land, this child, is Holy Ground for the Lord is with her always.
