SECOND TRAINING WHEELS VISION
The second most common and often the earliest of the revelations is of riding a White Horse.
Bob Jones would say that the “white horse” symbolized a new move of the Holy Spirit – (I suppose that can be personal as well as national or international.) Always, it is the Holy Spirit revealing the Lord Jesus.
THE TRAJECTORY
This revelation showed the prophetic trajectory of my future life. I only understood this as I looked back at the vision. A couple of months after “breaking through” as Bob Jones called it the Lord was plainly showing me how I would serve Him from then on and my relationship to Him and with Him.
VISION FEBRUARY 20, 1995
I watched it as we passed and even twisted my head around to watch it as long as I could.
I remembered from my childhood that with great effort, some could catch the ring. If you did catch the golden ring, you got a free ride. I fixed my eyes upon the ring as soon as it came into view. Then standing in the stirrups and holding to the pole on which the horse was suspended, I r-e-a-c-h-e-d for the golden ring.
I caught it.
“What does this mean?” I questioned out loud.
TRANSFORMED
Suddenly, the horse became a large living, white horse. It jumped off the merry-go-round and began to smoothly and powerfully climb toward the sun. I was not afraid, but I did wonder where we were going.
THE HIGH VALLEY
There was a waterfall of sparkling, cold mountain water which flowed into a stream.
The horse stopped by the mountain stream. I dismounted as he began to drink. I looked around. No one was in sight.
The air was cool and sharp. I could see clearly for miles and miles. I filled my lungs with the clean, pure air and looked around. Lavender flowers, like heather were growing from the sheer mountainside. Except for the sound of the water, all was very quiet, clean and pure.
I didn’t know why I was there, but it was as though the horse knew this high mountain valley well and was at home there.
This is a simple vision, but oh so important to the one who receives it.
