Again, I got a very special message I want to share with you.
Here it was..
Though an eagle flies to live, an eagle lives to fly.
The baby eagle is said to be the hardest of all birds to teach how to fly. Between 10-12 weeks, the eaglets are strong enough to fly. Instinct alone is not enough for these babies to fly, they must be taught. As the mother eagle is teaching her eaglets to fly, God teaches us to believe His Word and use our faith.
Remember when you first learned how to ride a bike? It's the same for an eaglet learning to fly, it takes a combination of balance and coordination, trial and error.
First things first, mom removes their soft, comfortable padding so that now the thorns and sticks make the nest a lot less comfortable for them. Next she stirs the nest by fluttering her wings. She does this until the nest is pretty much torn up. (Deut 32:11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions.) Next she spreads her wings and takes them to high places, and then just drops them. Just before they hit the earth she catches them, flies high once again and then drops them again. Their wings are being developed. This process continues until they get the idea and they learn how to fly.
Once you learn to fly, it is not a matter of weather you go North, East, South, or West, but it is a way upwards. Reach to the heights for your inheritance. Avoid looking forward in fear or backwards in resentment... but keep looking upward, Godward. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will counsel you and watch over you.
The eagle does not soar under the physical power of his body or wings, but under the warm thermal currents of the winds which causes it to look effortless. He will sit and wait on the rock, until the winds are warm enough, and then either with a jump or simply just leaning into the winds, he rises. Purely human strength, that is flapping, tends to go downward toward decay and death. How high have you seen a chicken fly? We need to stop laboring in our own strength and start resting in His. Use the warm thermal currents of the Holy Spirit to lift you to high places.
Deuteronomy 33: 26,27a There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you and on the clouds in His majesty. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
Col 3:1,2 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Psalm 46:10 Whisper...Soar my friend, Soar.
