Miracle of the Horse-God Give Strength
Taken from the book,"The Voices Within Us" by Jim Stewart

May 2000

One late afternoon I was feeling pretty down and out and defeated to the max. It seemed no matter what I prayed for, God wasn't listening to me. I asked God how much longer must I endure this suffering that I was going through. The angels told me to read in the bible, Psalms 13, Psalms 28, and the Book of James.

I said, "God, please give me the strength or a sign telling me how to get through this mess." I closed my eyes and my hand started drawing a picture on a piece of paper. I could not control my hand. All this time I kept my eyes closed. I just let my hand  and pen draw. When I opened my eyes, I had certainly drawn something; but I could not tell what it was.

A friend of mine, Brother Roy, came by to see me, right after I had scribbled this picture. We were just sitting there chewing the fat when I glimpsed at the picture. I cried out, "It's a horse! It's a horse!It's a horse!It's a picture of a horses head." Brother Roy loked at me like I was crazy and said, "What's a horse?" This picture, this picture here.isa picture of a horse. I drew it with myeyes closed. Take a look at it, Roy."I gave the picture to him and he agreed that it was a picture of a horse. I sat down and started crying. Brother Roy asked,"What's wrong Jimbo?" I told him that I had asked God to give me a sign of strength or to give me the strength I needed to get through these hard times. "God gave me that sign. God gave me that sign, Brother Roy." I told Roy how a horse was the symbol of strength. This was God's way of saying he would give me the strength that I needed.

Unbelievable peace came to me that night.

The picture above is the actual picture I drew.

God does give us strength when we need it. He did this his unusual way, that is how he works in our lives somehow. Ask and you will receive. I actually believe he does just that when you ask. A sign from God for you to go on, you have strength to do it now.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
