A storm rages around me
A fire so wild
Comes to surround
Watching the flames
Licking their way along
the path
Consuming what it can
I hear laughter in
the flames
Maniacal laughter
Stirring up the
flames
I see no smoke
Just the flames
I walk toward the
flames
There within the
flames
I see a spirit
Engulfed fully
He senses me and
looks
Our eyes meet
I am steadfast not
moving
Eyes fully locked
“Do you know who I am?”,
I ask
He comes forward menacingly
He reaches out to
touch me
But recoils
“You are a daughter
of Eve,
A son of the Most
High”, he replies.
My gaze penetrates
the spirit
I reply
“Yes, you are
correct.
What you are doing is
not in Father’s heart.
Stop this nonsense
and leave.”
The spirit recoils
and leaves
The flames – they stop
I turn toward the
clouds
That have been
forming
Waiting to release
Their burden
It is time to release
Your burden now
Allow it to drench
This smoldering fire
Let it cool and
refresh
All that has been
affected
Now restoration may
come
I turn around
Seeing Jesus standing
Watching what took
place
He smiled at me
“You have done well.”
“Was this a test of
sorts?” I ask
“Only a small one”,
was the reply
You are growing in
your maturity
As you continue to
stand in Me
Staying in stillness
More can be
accomplished
Well done.
