Word of the Day

Beloved, what does it mean to rise on eagles wings? It means to soar along effortlessly on the wind of My Holy Spirit. Eagles migrate long distances by gliding from one thermal (a current of warm air) to another to conserve energy in order to travel long distances. Be like the eagle and consent to being carried along by the wind of the Holy Spirit allowing Me to take you where I will. This is how you press on in your high calling while resting. Soaring with Me is the opposite of doing things in your own might and power (Zechariah 4:6).
Let Me bring you up higher to where you are already seated with Christ in the heavenly places. Come up so high on the thermal winds of MY Spirit that I may bring you to My very throne room where your whole perspective will be altered as you look from My point of view…as you look at your life and circumstances from where I am seated on My heavenly throne.
Problems will appear and be so much less…so much less threatening and intimidating when you see them from My perspective. When you come up and see as I see, you will understand why the Psalms say I laugh at My enemies…that I laugh at the wicked (Psalms 37:13). They are so small compared to Me and so are your enemies regardless of what or who they may be.
Beloved, I am the King of Kings and Lord of Lords; but, I Am also your Abba, your daddy, your heavenly father who contends with those who contend with you (Isaiah 49:25 NKJ). All your battles are mine and I will fight them on your behalf. Stand and see the victory I will win for you as your trust is placed in Me and Me alone. Laugh at your enemies as you dwell under the shadow of My wings. Your victory is assured!
Come; soar on wings like an eagle. Rest and enjoy the ride as I carry you as a mother eagle carries her chicks on her wings until they learn to fly. Just as an eagle holds onto her young and will not let them fall to the ground, so I will do the same and more for you. I will ensure that you do not fall or come to harm. Learn to fly with Me… learn to see from My perspective and your life will be changed for the better. Learn to rest and relax and see what I will do on your behalf. You are My precious child and I will be all that you need. So, enjoy your day and let Me be in control. Rest, wait and fly. Come up high and see what happens!
But those who wait for the lord (who expect, look for, and hope in him) shall change and renew their strength and power: they shall lift their wings and mount up (close to God) as eagles (mount up to the sun): they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint or become tired. (Isaiah 40:31 Amplified)
Then he said to me, This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6 Amplified)
Prayer
Father, I want to fly on eagle’s wings and be carried by the wind of the Holy Spirit. I am willing to go wherever You want me. I am more than willing to let You have full control of my life. Please show me how my life and situations look from Your perspective. Please bring me to Your throne room where I can see from Your viewpoint. Thank You for having the burning desire to fight my battles for me. Only in You is victory assured. Help me to relax in the knowledge of being hidden in You in such a way that I simply trust You for a wonderful outcome in all things. Thank You for loving me and caring for me as a mother does for her child. Father, I come this day as a child seeking his/her father knowing that I am safe and secure with You; the one who loves me most. Amen.
Reflect and Journal
- How different would your life be if you were looking down on your situation rather than letting it loom over you and overwhelm you?
- How does God see your situations? Ask God to show you your situation as He sees it.
- What would it mean to you to relax and let God be in control?
- Do you want to fly on eagles wings? Let him lift you higher and carry you. Ask him to show you how to fly on eagles wings.
