- “Coming through the haze” (in and out of sleep) I saw, from behind, a dark horse* with a Rider moving forward.
- *Jesus rode a “dark horse.” (The Gospel…wasn’t known, most wouldn’t bet on Him…dark in that sense).
- I’m following Jesus.
- (And I had recently read Steve Gregg’s books, “Empire of the Risen Son” a treatise on the Kingdom of God and the Gospel, I consider this Gospel presentation a “Dark Horse.” And I’m praying for revival by it, a work of God!) https://www.thenarrowpath.com/

The Dark Horse, muddy ground, and Master Craftsman:
- a dream of the night (1-14-21′).
- I was in a countryside.
- There was a Dark Horse (the Gospel) very near me.
- The horse was without saddle, I believe.
- There wasn’t a rider on the horse.
- In the dream it seemed to be my concern that the Horse be properly cared for, and I was concerned that there was not on hand those things typically necessary for a hores’s care…
- No stables…no water…no feed, tack, or other equipment.
- A friend was also nearby.
- Then I noticed the ground at my feet…
- The ground was muddy turf, with cropped grass…
- And then I noticed that I had stepped in excrement…which wasn’t from a horse, but probably from a dog.
- So, at that, my concern also became that I not only find water for the Horse, but also for cleaning my boots.
- Next…I was at a country house…and then in the house, which was homey and well lived in…
- And I made my way through the house, through a couple of rooms, and then entered a back room and discovered a pair of men.
- The Chief man strikes me as a Master Craftsman who had an Assistant.
- They were at work and it was made known to me that He had been at work here all along.
- I believe the work they were doing was Film Industry work (stories/testimonies) and He was behind all the stories…at work.
- (I hope that I did not soil His floors with my muddy, defiled, feet!!!)
- Oh dear Lord! Please, I pray good ground for your Gospel…and that I be cleansed by the washing of your Word!
- Please deliver, Lord, my family, friends and neighbors from falsehoods!
- Please God, help me provide for the Gospel!
- Thank you, Father for the Gospel, which is beautiful…I praise you Lord…amen!
