As I prayed for a friend. . .

She was laying on a hospital bed. The Lord was on the right side of the bed, looking intently at her vitals. I said, “wow, she is very sick.”

Lord, what would you have to say?

There was a strong sense that He knew more than any doctor. He understood her vitals more than anyone and was in complete control.

I asked Him what He was doing. I saw His left hand over her stomach and saw images of plants. He was planting seeds. He said “I’m planting seeds to last a lifetime”

I asked Him what He was doing with His right hand. I saw he was stirring the air with His right hand. A whirlwind began to fill the room. It was beautiful and golden, but also had an abrasiveness to it, like sand, smoothing over the hardness and impurities of our hearts. I was so grateful for this wind, I saw how it was freeing me from all the cheap pleasures of this life, making me more like Him, taking away so many evils.

He kept going to her feet, to warm them. They were so cold.

I asked the Lord, will you do a surgery on her?

He said, “I don’t need to do surgeries to heal people”

What would you like to give her?

He put horse blinders on her eyes so she could not look to the right or the left but only at Him. He took her into his lap, out of the hospital bed. I then began to see the bed rot away like a disease. Black spots began to engulf the hospital bed. This was interesting to me because before this, the hospital room was bright white and clean and although I knew it wasn’t a positive image, it almost disguised itself as one. Now I saw that hospital bed was diseased.

What would you like to give her in exchange for this hospital bed?

Immediately we were in a vast field. She was still barefoot, but now her feet were warm in this field. Again, Lord what would you like to give her? He said “hinds feet in high places.” realized this was why there was such an emphasis on her feet. This is both a beautiful book about painfully won victory and also a verse from Psalm 18 which is about the Lord’s triumphant victory. It also has imagery from Song of Solomon, just like the activity of the right versus left hand of the Lord (Song 2:4-14).
