FACES of DESTINY - Wright, Margaret

. .

Résumé :
The Book of Revelation and the Book of Ezekiel speak of the living creatures and the faces that are to be found on them. These are the faces of the Lord Jesus Christ, that of the Lion, the Eagle, the Ox and Man. When Father God looks on us He sees the face of His Son. We too can roar like the lion, soar like the eagle, have the strength of the ox and our face of man means we can fellowship with the sufferings of Jesus. Before Jesus began His ministry, He was led by the Holy Spirit (the dove) into the desert. It wasn't a punishment, it was the testing before He took up His ministry. We, too, enter the desert to be tempted by satan and must learn our true identity in Christ. When we have been made ready, we leave the desert but we don't walk out, we soar, just like the eagle. It is my journey, it is your journey, it is anyone's journey who finds salvation in Jesus Christ. We learn to roar at the enemy just as the Lion of Judah roars and take authority over the forces of evil that would attack God's children. We fly like the eagle, resting on the thermal currents and flying through the fiercest storms, no fear! We were made for this. We have the strength of the ox and push through the toughest of situations, remaining faithful to the family we serve. The face of man is our face as we are called to fellowship with the sufferings that Jesus did when He walked the earth as a man. All of this is our destiny prepared for us before the beginning of time. The moment we were born again we were born on a battlefield as His betrothed. HE IS COMING SOON FOR HIS BELOVED BRIDE!
