Chapter XIII
EPISODE III
THE MANNA
I stepped through the door. When I did, I was surprised that all of the glory in which I had been standing before was gone. It was dark and musty, like an old cellar. It was disconcerting, but I still felt the power of the words that the Lord had spoken to me, and they steadied me.
"What you feel is the anointing of the Holy Spirit," a voice said from the darkness.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Must you ask?" It did not quite sound like Wisdom, but some other familiar voice. Even so, I knew that it was Him.
Gradually, my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I was surprised to see my old friend, the white eagle.
"He lives in you, and so you can abide in all that you just experienced here just as you did in His presence there. I know that you have become addicted to His presence, and this is
right, but here you must learn to recognize Him in many forms. First you must recognize His voice in your own heart and then as He speaks through others.
"This you have known before, and have experienced from time to time, but not like you must know it now. He will never be far from you and can always be found easily. He will always lead you to the truth. Only by the Holy Spirit can you see and know anything or anyone the way they really are. In the times that are before us, we will perish if we do not follow Him closely."
"I know that this is true because I hear Wisdom speaking through you. Are you here to show me the way? I can hardly see here."
"I will come to you from time to time to tell you about the signposts that will let you know that you are still on the right path, but the Holy Spirit must lead you. I will also help you to understand how He leads you in different places, but first I must tell you about the manna so that you can live."
"Manna! Do you mean like the manna that Israel ate in
the wilderness? Is that what we eat here?"
"It is what all who have walked with God have lived on since the beginning. The manna that Israel ate while in the wilderness was a prophecy of this. The Lord will give you fresh manna daily. Just as He covered the earth with manna every day for Israel while they were in the wilderness, He
covers the earth each day with truth for His people. Every way that you turn, you will see it. Even in the midst of the darkness and gloom, His Word will surround you, and you can gather it. Those who are cast into the inner prisons will awake to find it every day. Those who live in great palaces can also find it every day. But His manna is as gentle and light as the dew, and easily trampled. You must be gentle and light of heart to see it."
