Vision of Jesus Appearing As Shepherd
From the Personal Journal of Sister Lara
Psalm 23:1
[[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
Isaiah 40:11
He
shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with
his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those
that are with young.
Ezekiel 34:12 As a shepherd seeketh
out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep [that are]
scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all
places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Matthew
9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on
them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having
no shepherd.
Circumstances:
I
remember when the Holy Spirit began to put a desire in my heart to see
Jesus, in prayer and worship. He began taking simple promises in God’s
Word that I could stand upon, and I began to deeply desire each promise
to be living in my heart. I so wanted for the Holy Spirit to take me to
places I had never been in the Secret Place. For almost nine months, I
meditated upon scriptures and the Holy Spirit planted them deep in my
heart, like a seedbed. I would literally cry out to the Holy Spirit for
more! At times, I would wake up in the middle of the night from
scriptures being quoted in my heart. It was almost as though the
scriptures were talking to me, for the first time concerning what I was
believing for. At other times, I would find myself driving down the
highways, singing the scriptures in ways I had never expressed before;
heard before.
I will never forget the first time
Jesus came to me, and the Holy Spirit allowed my heart to see. This was
during a time of communion, and my eyes were closed meditating upon the
faith that Jesus has given to me, because of His death and resurrection.
Vision Begins:
Jesus
came to me, as my Shepherd. As I gazed upon the beauty of Jesus, I was
awe struck in His Grace. The way He walked, the way He smiled, the way
He stood, and the way He moved. I was totally taken by His gentleness,
and His meekness by the way He led His sheep, and little lambs and how
much joy He had being with each one.
While gazing
at His beauty a scripture came to mind, “I am the good shepherd and
know my sheep and am known of mine. As the Father knows me, even so I
know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.” The Holy Spirit
answered my prayers, but actually—He put the desire in my heart to see
Jesus. He led me to the quiet, restful, still waters of the presence of
Jesus and taught my heart to be comforted in the Love of Jesus, as
Shepherd. (John 10)
As I continued to watch Jesus, I
noticed how Jesus wore a beautiful purple shawl over His shoulders, as
it was a striking resemblance to a velvet material. As well, the robe of
Jesus was deep red, in this same velvet type material, which hung all
the way down to the green pastured ground in which Jesus walked. The arm
sleeves of the garment of Jesus were deep and long, which hung over His
wrists.
As I continued to take communion I noticed that
there was a small little lamb, asleep, in the arm sleeve of Jesus. I
gazed in joyful wonder at the little lamb; somehow the lamb was awakened
“as if the lamb knew I was watching.” The lamb opened it’s eyes and
looked at me with deep, soothing love, and peace—then the lamb yawned,
with a wide opened mouth, and restfully went back to sleep. At this
time, Jesus began to walk and the bottom of His garment moved where I
saw His beautiful feet, laced in sandals. In His right arm He carried a
walking stick, much like a Shepherds Staff.
This staff was
crooked at the top of it, and made of deep cherry wood in which He used
to plant on the ground as He walked. The Staff was used as a boundary,
for the many little lambs that came up out from under His garment. Some
lambs, would jump in the air with their hinds feet straightforward,
while other lambs that jumped upward fell on the backs, playfully, of
other lambs.
The smile and grace of the face and
expression of Jesus towards His little lambs was indescribable. At
times, Jesus would reach forth His Staff and make the sounds of a
Shepherd to the little lambs, and speak to them to stay close and not to
wonder away. As Jesus walked, the little lamb in His arm sleeve was
carried wherever He went, resting peacefully and unharmed. Oh! Such
blessed rest for those who seek and find Jesus! Oh! Such blessed peace
for those who desire to know Jesus as their Shepherd! Oh! Weakened soul
from the fall, Jesus will carry you one and all!! He will carry you to a
place of safety and joy, if only to cast your cares upon Him.
Oh!
How I treasured that moment of time in which I saw Jesus! Oh! To know
His Love for me! Oh! To experience His care for me would become deeply
planted in my heart for eternity.
Much Sisterly Love,
Sister Lara
