Time to Soar like Eagles

Trusting in His promises of strength to help us rise above life’s distractions & difficulties.

Is. 40:31 “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

I felt God whisper to me to share what’s on my heart, I started with a voice note but felt that is not the platform as there is too many forwarded messages already circulating.

I have spent the last week in spiritual & physical war. (I don’t want to waste time to write about the current riots – there is too much to say right now but I will in due time).

This morning as I was lying in bed, watching a live game drive (my Sunday ritual) my heart was starting to feel heavy with uncertainty for the 1st time this week. There is so many messages that is being sent around and I find it difficult to know what to believe. I just ended a conversation about a recent message with a friend when the live game drive showed two eagles (something they don't often show). I smiled thinking to myself that I think God is trying to tell me something, but I continued lying in bed enjoying my cup of coffee.

The next thing I hear a high pitched cry of an eagle, at first I thought it was on the T.V. but realised that the sound on the T.V. is off. Then the sound came again – louder and with urgency (it was almost scary). I laid in bed trying to understand what I was hearing and when it continued, I decided to get up and go look outside. As I walked out the back door and looked up I saw the biggest eagle sitting it the tree looking at me. It immediately stopped crying and flew over me and disappeared. I so wish I took my phone with to video it. I knew that it was God saying get out of bed, the fight is not over.

My bible has been left open in the lounge where I have been praying Psalm 91 over my home and country for the past week. Every now and then the wind will turn pages and I will be amazed with the new page I had to read. When I looked down my bible was open on Psalm 18 with the heading “I Love You, Lord” (not sure how the wind moved the pages backwards). I immediately read it and prayed for understanding from God.

I want to encourage you all to not let your spiritual & physical guards down. You need to continue praying for the full armour of God – pray this over yourself and your loved ones daily. Pray for our leaders to seek God for answers rather than man. God has given us a clear task to cover our homes with the blood of Jesus and to trust in Him for protection and peace. Now more than ever you need to spend more time in the Word of God. Make time for Prayer & communion every day. When you receive messages of more unrest coming, listen to what they say and then pray against the enemies’ plan. I also felt that we need to be more prepared in the physical. This is not just a spiritual warfare. Don’t be foolish. God has equipped us to fight both. Don’t just sit back thinking that God is fighting this alone – you are called to do your part.

When you are in the midst of storms remember that familiar verse in Isaiah: those who hope in the Lord will rise up with wings like eagles–not flapping wings (on our own power), but wings that soar. Let life’s pressures from beneath us and the tug of Jesus from above lift us into the air to rise above the storms.

This is the time for you to soar high with eagles.
