My dear wife and I sat down to have our morning CommunionFire & Coffee like most mornings. We ask the Lord to bless the bread, we share it and then ask Him to bless the wine and we share it. Then we share what we encountered and experienced while having Communion in the CommunionFire of JESUS. We have had several very unique experiences when we connect between His heart and our hearts. Its like the body and blood of JESUS make us one. The stories that evolve are startling and we often say with a kind of giddy excitement, "You can't invent this stuff... It too on the nose!" The following happened just this week.
Camille said, "When I ate the bread, I saw two veils. First one and then the other and as they pulled back I saw a deer drinking from a brook of water. Then saw a reflection of JESUS in the water indicating He was standing nearby. Then when I drank the wine I heard the song "Naphtali" (from the album by John Fischer in 1976). Note the scripture below the photos above. "Rich in Grace (JESUS) - Filled with Blessings (His reflection) - Possessing the Lake"
The tribe of Israel, Naphtali - like the deer at the brook - gives beautiful words! Jesus brings us to Himself to drink from the water of life... Here is another 'too on the nose' scripture: "Naphtali is a free running deer, he gives beautiful words (like a song)." Genesis 49:21
Now that alone you could hold on to the rest of your days. These images shaped the very intention of the Scripture from Genesis 49! But there is more.
Keep in mind we are both eating the bread and drinking from the cup at the same time. Next is what I saw.

Immediately, as soon as I started eating the bread, I saw a gazelle leaping! (The 'gazelle leaping' were words I heard as I saw this, from the voice of the Lord - the whisper of the Holy Spirit.) Then to the right I saw an Aborigine "Moses" type face. Then as I drank from the cup I saw JESUS, His hands stretched out between the gazelle and the "Moses".
Camille's jaw dropped when she heard me say "gazelle" in sharing while having coffee.
Camille and I both saw 'the deer family', 'JESUS' and 'a cultural image: Christian Music and 1st Nation Indigenous People'.
I felt what I had seen was JESUS reaching out to the lands of the Gazelle to all Indigenous people groups around the world.
There is also an amazing connect to The Song of Songs.
"Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Listen! My beloved! Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills. My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look! There he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice. My beloved spoke and said to me “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me." Song 2:7-10
"My beloved is mine and I am his; He browses among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle..." Song 2:16-17
(On another level: Read Judges Chapter 4) and see the story of how Naphtali found a place of meaning to reveal the power of JESUS in the Old Testament. You will also find the name "Barak" whose name means: "flash of lightening". By the way the name Naphtali means: Wrestle, as if 'like twine, twisting and the struggle'. (Definitely a Son of Jacob/Israel) God 'wrestled' with Jacob! He then became Israel: God strives, contends, persists, perseveres, wrestles! "He that preserves Israel will neither slumber nor sleep!" Psalm 121:4
