Our Christian Walk - As Eagle Saints!

.....Isaiah 40: 31 says, " Those that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like Eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

.....An Eagle is a large, strong, bird of prey, known for its sharp vision, and powerful wings. It has the natural ability to soar higher than any other, face any storm, locking its wings, and rise up above it. An Eagle's vision is keen, and can see for miles. If it's vision gets dim, it will fly through a waterfall to clear their eyes. When their beak gets tough and worn down, they will beat it against a rock, so a new one can come through. Their existence and design gives them the ability to swoop down on a serpent, and snatch it up in their talons. The main diet of the Eagle is fish and small animals, but they also eat dead carcasses, according to Mathew 24: 28. I wish to explain the aspect of dead carcasses from the Bible in type and meaning for us as Eagle Saints today.

.....As Eagle Saints, we must feed on a fresh Revelation of the Death of Christ. Jesus said, "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you," John 6: 53. An Eagle Saint, or believer, seeking maturity, goes through suffering and adversity in his Christian walk throughout his lifetime. The suffering occurs mostly when we have to change the way we think after receiving Truth or Revelation. The adversity comes in the form of persecutions, lost friendships, and trials that also come with that new Revelation. Most painful is being alienated from those who we were once close with, being misunderstood for what God is doing in our lives.

.....So what we must do today is keep soaring to new heights, over the storms of life, and know that the wind of the Spirit is beneath our wings. This is in the understanding that "Spiritual Strength" only comes from waiting, ( A Point and Position Of Rest), on the Lord. He is the one lifting us towards our higher calling in Christ. Philippians 3: 12-14 says, "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize, (Evidence of you in God, and God in you), of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." This yearning for perfection is not, and can never be, in Human perfection. But to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, and let us be of the same mind, the mind of Christ, till the Salvation, (or Victory), of the Soul is reached.

.....So in your Christian walk today, understand that God has begun the work of grace in your life, and He will perfect it. He will help those who, in humble dependence on Him, help themselves. In the Revelation, Wisdom, and Knowledge, of Divine Grace, our souls shall ascend above the world. We shall run the way of God's commandments cheerfully. Let us watch against unbelief, pride, and self-confidence. If we go forth in our own strength, we shall faint, and utterly fall; but having our hearts and our hopes in heaven, we shall be carried above all difficulties, and be enabled to lay hold of the prize of our high calling in Christ Jesus.
