Mel Gibson
I want to preface this with the fact that I never read tabloids, we don’t have a TV, and we rarely watch movies. However, last night we had a “date” and had watched a recent movie starred by Mel Gibson.
Afterward we were praying before bed. We prayed for a while, for friends, wisdom in our work, asking for protection in the days coming, etc… and toward the end I felt I should pray for Mel Gibson. I paused, thinking “uh… I don’t know him…” and then obeyed.
All I said was “God, I pray for Mel Gibson…” and then a very clear image came to mind of a large African Lion, with a mane, lying in the tall grass. I first saw the golden eyes, glowing through the grass; they seemed so close and real to me I was a bit unnerved at the sight. Then I saw that this beast had torn many prey, and fought in terrible battles. But now he was crouched down as though hiding in the grass. The word that came to mind was “abashed.” And then I saw the mighty lion starve and whither away in that same position.
I prayed again (by the Spirit) “God, I pray that you would strengthen and lift Mel Gibson to fight again and to rend his prey. Lion, you were made to rend your prey… rise and fight again.”
And that was all. It was unusual… I don’t make a habit of praying for celebrities. But God knows this man and has need of him to fight again.

Okay, this is really weird! I just got together with an old classmate of mine, and she was the only person who witnessed to me in high school.
We talked about Mel Gibson and how she has been praying for him lately. I didn’t really think much of it. This was just discussed two days ago!!
That is interesting. I have been watching several Mel Gibson films over the past few nights and thinking on them and him…
I felt led to pray for him too… and that is not “typical” for me. Interesting.
