LION OF ZION XXVII

"CLING TO ME AND DO NOT STRAY!"

by Rosie Lovejoy

October 9, 2005

Once again I found myself on a bluff, overlooking crashing waves and violent water below. The wind was blowing and a storm was clearly approaching. I was in the same place I had been in LION OF ZION # 26, and numerous other visions.

Standing next to me was my LION, my LORD, and my KING. I gently draped my arm over his neck, and placed my cheek against HIS cheek. I felt such love emanating from HIM and for HIM. I was suspended in an atmosphere of love.

HE then spoke,

"YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE CLOSER TO ME IN THE DAYS AHEAD THAN YOU ARE NOW. YOU WILL NEED TO CLING TO ME AND ANSWER MY GENTLE WHISPER.

I AM THE KING COMING TO RECLAIM MY KINGDOM,

COMING TO SET THINGS STRAIGHT,

COMING TO ROAR.

DO NOT STRAY!

DO NOT STEP FROM ME EVEN A FEW STEPS,

FOR IT WILL BE TOO FAR!

DO NOT STRAY!

DO NOT STRAY!"

I looked at the scene ahead of me. Waves were crashing far below. The water was choppy and foamy and filled with small debris. The wind was blowing and thick gray clouds were rolling in from the sea.

I felt such love for my KING that I bent over and tenderly kissed the top of HIS head.

Then I continued to watch the scene -- wind and waves and rolling clouds.

I looked once again at LION and was surprised to see that where I had kissed HIM, a gorgeous golden jeweled crown now sat.

HE invited me to mount HIM, and I like the obstinate, foolish woman I am, I refused.

(I didn’t want to be riding on the back of the crowned LION OF ZION!… It felt too presumptuous and disrespectful. I have so much yet to learn about obedience and surrender. And from what I am being shown, time is running out for HIS disobedient disciples, including me!)

Rather, I knelt before HIM, and looked directly into HIS gentle eyes of love. I told HIM how much I loved HIM and how much HE meant to me.

"COME!" HE ordered.

I looked up and a huge eagle appeared and landed next to us.

"COME!" the eagle ordered.

This time I didn’t refuse. I climbed onto the back of the eagle and it began to climb high into the sky. We passed through the misty clouds and left the seashore far behind, flying inland.

From high above the earth the eagle began to speak to me.

"SEE HOW YOU ARE CLINGING TO ME AS I FLY.

YOU REALIZE THAT IF YOU LET GO FOR EVEN AN INSTANT, THAT YOU WILL FALL OFF AND DIE.

SO IT WILL BE IN THE TIMES AHEAD. THOSE NOT CLINGING TO ME WILL BE IN GRAVE DANGER OF LOSING THEIR LIVES AND NOT FULFILLING THEIR MISSIONS. THE TIMES AHEAD ARE FAR MORE PERILOUS THAN YOU CAN NOW IMAGINE.

THERE IS SAFETY IN THE SHADOW OF MY WINGS.

THERE IS PROTECTION IN THE SHADOW OF MY WINGS.

THERE IS LOVE IN THE SHADOW OF MY WINGS.

THAT IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE."

I looked down and saw small cracks begin to appear in the surface of the earth with steam coming out of them. There were cracks in roadways, cracks in farmland, cracks in unexpected places.

And so I clung to the eagle as we soared high above the changing earth below.
