The Eye of the Tiger!
I heard the phrase, “Eye of the Tiger.”
It is also a song from the movie, “Rocky” about a boxing champion who never gave up until he had the victory.
“Eye of the Tiger” is a phrase meaning: one who is focused, confident, and has the look of being very intense. The phrase refers to the hunger, fierceness, tenacity and strength of the tiger.
And listen to this amazing fact! No two tigers have the same stripes. Like human fingerprints, a tiger’s stripes are completely unique.
One thing most tigers do have in common is that the markings on their foreheads are the same as the Chinese character for “KING” — ‘王’ Wow!
“Beloved. The spiritual “Eye of the Tiger” has transformed you into a Holy Warrior who walks in bottomless hunger and possesses the limitless Strength of your God.
The fires of adversity you have been through have given you the eye of the tiger. It is My Fire that blazes in your eyes and heart.
My Spirit makes you bold as a lion, stealthy, with keen insight and wisdom to overcome the demonic hyenas and jackals.
You are My Beloved Hunter who hungers for My Presence. Your soul cries out to Me.
You do not relent. I hear you and I come to you. Those who seek Me shall find Me.
When you groan in the Spirit, it is the powerful Growling of the Lion of Judah in you.
This growling is violent intercession, like a violent rushing Wind.
For from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven has suffered violence, and the violent shall take it by force.
But fear not. The Blood Covering of the Savior is over your life, “by whose stripes ye were healed.”
You are My unique creation. There is no one like you, My Child. You have been marked by the King with the Seal of the Spirit.
You shall remain untouched as you fix your eyes upon Him who conquered sin, death, and the grave.
I call you a warrior with the eyes of the tiger. Your Holy growl shall penetrate and then paralyze the enemy. It is Christ in you, the hope of Glory.
You are the Redeemed of the Lord who belong to the Dread Champion. You are Mine.
If your God is for you, NONE can stand against you. The Name of God and of The Lamb is forever marked on your forehead!”
Amazing Facts About Tigers’ Stripes : A tiger’s stripes are completely unique. NO TWO TIGERS HAVE THE SAME STRIPES. Like human fingerprints, a tiger’s stripes are completely unique. But one thing most tigers do have in common is that the MARKINGS ON THEIR FOREHEADS are the same as the Chinese character for “KING”. (GreenPeace)
TIGERS’ GROWLS : Tigers have a secret weapon. They can produce low pitched infrasound growls that are so deep that humans can’t hear them – though they sure can feel them. This penetrating growl can cause a momentary paralysis in their prey. (GreenPeace)
TIGER’S EYE : The “eye of the tiger” is a term describing the blazing intensity a tiger has on its prey. This intensity is revealed in the tiger’s burning gaze which melts the will to fight of any opponent who dares lock eyes with it. The tiger’s two most astonishing qualities are its hunger and its strength. It has been said the tiger walks in perpetual hunger, eating as much as sixty pounds of meat in a single meal. This bottomless hunger drive sharpens its senses to live in constant readiness to hear, watch, stalk, attack and consume. (GoodnessOfGod)
TIGER’S EYE STONES : The tiger’s eye is one of a wide variety of quartz, called chalcedony, and makes up the third foundation stone of the New Jerusalem. Chalcedony is one of the twelve stones and is described in the Bible as the breastplate of judgment or decision. As stated in Revelation 21:19, “…the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with…precious stones…the third (foundation) a chalcedony.” (HolyLandGiftShop)
MARKED, SEALED : Strong’s Greek #4972- properly, to seal (affix) with a signet ring or other instrument; to stamp (a roller or seal), i.e. to attest ownership, authorizing (validating) what is sealed. A mark signifies ownership and the full security carried by the backing (full authority) of the owner. Sealing was sometimes done in antiquity by the use of religious tattoos – again signifying “belonging to.” Seals were used to secure documents, MARK PROPERTY, and ensure that something remained untouched until the rightful owner or an authorized person opened it. (Biblehub)
Bible verses:
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were MARKED IN HIM with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,” Ephesians 1:13
Revelation says that the redeemed bear a seal on their foreheads. The seal consists of the names of God and the Lamb and shows that the redeemed belong to God (Revelation 14:1). (EntertheBible)
“Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with Him 144,000 who had His name and His Father’s name written ON THEIR FOREHEADS. Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us, placed His SEAL on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come.” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.
“The light of the body is the EYE: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” Matthew 6:22.
“From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered VIOLENCE, and the VIOLENT take it by force.” Matthew 11:12.
“And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the splendor and pomp of the Chaldeans, will be like Sodom and Gomorrah when God overthrew them. It will never be inhabited or lived in for all generations; no Arab will pitch his tent there; no shepherds will make their flocks lie down there. But wild animals will lie down there, and their houses will be full of howling creatures; there ostriches will dwell, and there wild goats will dance.: HYENAS will cry in its towers, and JACKALS in the pleasant palaces; its time is close at hand and its days will not be prolonged.” Isaiah 13:19-22.
