Jesus keeps me obedient to the word I've been on this road for Him since I was 12 years old it has it up and down but He really have been keeping me so when they ask me I just smile and say it was rocky but ok road to the glory of God. myra imikimi - Customize Your World imikimi - Customize Your World
We must speak straight so that our words may go as sunlight to ones heart. Cochise
Eph. 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Out back in my garden, sometimes in the spring...I'll move a large stone, and a sprouting daffodil bulb beneath it is bent, stunted, and colorless. But after a few hours of light...I notice it begins to straighten, and will eventually loose the effects of being held down. We too need "a li so qui lv di," a weight or a burden, at times lifted from our shoulders, so we too can grow and thrive in the light,...to reach our full potential in Christ. We have to show a willingness to stand on the "Rock" and not stay beneath it. Whisper.... at times the Lord may use us to move a large stone that is weakening, limiting, or holding down another. Our actions and words need to reflect our faith. (Gal 6:2 Eph. 5:8,9)
What we say...reaches far. Someone is listening for hope, someone is reaching for help - at some time.... it may be us. Black Hawk
Whisper....thank you for the sunlight through Christ this past week. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle
* We are all part of the web of life.
**We did not create it,
***we are just merely a strand in it.
****What ever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
The Word with the Body of Christ...
*We as Christians are all part of the Body of Christ.
1 Cor 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and "each one" of you is a part of it.
Gal. 3:26-28 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Eph. 4:15,16
**We did not create the body...
Isa 45:12a It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it.
Acts 17:25 And He is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. Gen. 1:1 Isa. 44:24 Col 1:15-20
*** We as Christians, each and everyone of us, are a part of the body, with Christ being the head. (Col 1:18)
Rom 12:5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
1 Cor 12:14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. Col 3:15
****Whatever we do to the body, we do to others, including ourselves.
1 Cor 12:26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
1 Cor 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough?
Whisper...UNITY
Rom 15:5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus.
Eph. 4:3-6,15,16 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
How we ask....Col 3:14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. In Christ and to His glory, Brown Eagle
Luke 10:30-37 The Good Samaritan
What might be some birds attitudes and responses in the Parable...The Good Samaritan?
The parrots response probably would have been: laying down and pretending to be wounded also, just to see if it would work for them.
The woodpeckers response would be more then likely looking at his watch and deciding to get to his meeting. "I don't have time to get involved in this, I'm just too busy to waste my time helping. I have my routine to keep up with."
The peacocks would say, "thank goodness it's you and not me. Let someone else help and get dirty."
The canaries would respond probably with let someone else take care of him.
The ostrich would stick his head in the ground, saying, "It's none of my business, I won't get involved."
The night owls would say, "You got yourself there, get your own self out."
The buzzards and crows more then likely would just keep on kicking him while he was down, enjoying his misery..
The chickens response would be one sitting on the fence asking others to move out of the way. "I can't see everything going on."
I think you get my point. The eagles response I will share another time.
God does not look for ability but availability.
Gods living Word is just loaded with guidance, direction, support, and truth! We are able, as His children, to help another when they are placed on our path.
Gods word tells us, we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.(Eph. 2:10), all things are possible, (Matt19.26) His grace is sufficient, (2Cor.12:9) He will direct our steps, (Proverbs 3:6) He will supply all our needs, (Phil4:19) He will carry us, sustain us, rescue us. I'm sure this applies to us helping another. We are more then conquerors. (Romans 8:37) How can we fail or lose by reaching out or helping another? John 13:34,35 to love one another is an action! A couple of reminders for the owls and other birds...Luke 16:19-26, Matthew 25:31-46. Stepping up and reaching out! Two or more...Christ through you! God Bless you! Brown Eagle
Gal 5:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. John 12:46 Isa. 64:8 2Cor.4:6 Eph. 5:8
Are you one: just not fitting in, real hard on yourself, did you fall back a couple of steps, still have a few rough edges to deal with, your job or place in the Body of Christ you think isn't that important or needed, having to start over many times... only to somehow find strength to pick up and try again, are you spending many nights on your knees in prayer....my friend you are not alone!
The Broken Clay Pot: Brown Eagle
The angels one day decided to go shopping. (stay with me here) A clay pot for Christ would be a nice gift to give. In a store were many shelves of beautiful clay pots. Most were painted in rich colors and had special shapes from such earthly position and fortune. Smooth, bright shades, perfect shapes, no visible flaws. So filled their lives had been. Then, there pushed back on a distant shelf, was myself...a clay pot worn and broken in places. Life had not been easy...cracks in places from many trials, several chips from enduring hardships, colors which faded through seasons of storms, yet there was also surfaces showing through of love and laughter. The angels were viewing each pot and kept moving closer towards me...I was ashamed to be seen...and b4 you knew it...there they were in front of me. I thought they would just take a glance and move on. They all started whispering and smiling...my heart just dropped to the ground in shame. If that wasn't enough...one of the angels picked me up and held me up in the air. I couldn't figure it out...all the cracks, chips, and worn out places...they were all visible there on the shelf. As the angel did this...there was a loud gasp that filled the air....I looked around at the other angels who were staring at me with wide eyes....
Light flooded through the many broken places in my pot. The angel holding me told me that every time I gave my life over to Christ, it became His life, His hardships, and His strulggles. The angel continued explaining to me that each beam of light through this pot was where I had stepped aside and let Christ shine through, until there was more of Him then there was of me. The angels were pleased and knew that Christ would be also with this gift.
Whisper: The Lord wants all of us... He is made strong in our weaknesses, pain, and struggles. (2 Cor. 12:10) His Glory shines through... broken clay pots. Others will see His light, not our brokeness. It is the Lords love that holds and binds the broken pieces together. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle
Prayerfully this will find a wing to add feathers too!
Are you or a loved one going through a difficult or rough time? Eagles can sense and know of storms from afar off, even before they can see them. They are not afraid of the storms in life. Eagles don't think survive, but overcome. Eagles fly to the storms to lift themselves to higher places. In Habakkuk 3:16-19. Habakkuks feelings were not controlled by the storms around him, but by the faith in Gods ability to give him strength and to see him through. We need to take our eyes off of our difficulties and look to God. (Zech 4:6) God does not permit storms in our lives for the purpose of defeating us, but for the purpose of building and benefitting us. The storms of trials, tribulations, and adversities, use in life to strengthen our wings. Soar my friend, Soar. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle
Eagles move from a process of courtship to commitment. The female eagle flies high into the sky, and the male eagle chases her. Suddenly she turns over on her back in midair and sticks her talons up. He moves over her and locks talons with her while they fall toward earth. He is totally committed. He would rather die then let her go. They are saying I love you, and I will never let you go. I am with you weather your rising or falling, through illness or health, through good days or rough ones, through mistakes, through trials, till death do us part. These eagles then mate for life.
Proverbs 30:18-19 The way of the eagle is too wonderful to understand. Are we as Christians willing to lock talons with others? The bible gives us numerous examples of others totally committed, locking talons. The story of Ruth locking talons with Naomi is a good example set for us. David and Jonathon is another great example. God with Noah and the good Samaritan with a stranger are a couple of other great examples of locking on.
But what about the most important pair. what about your commitment, your relationship with Christ?
We need to be asking ourselves:
Are my talons locked on with Christ?
Am I committed to Christ and to others, to hold on no matter what the outcome, no matter what the cost?
Would I be willing to lock on to a friend, or even a stranger weather they are rising or falling?
Would I be willing to die for another by not letting go?
Proverbs 31:8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for
the hateful words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people."
Eagles are over comers. The baby eagle while still in the egg has a sharp little tooth on the end of its beak. It uses this tooth to repeatedly hit the shell until it finally cracks open. They need this experience of the struggle to help them prepare for life. This process, especially as a parent or close friend, at times requires tough love to keep our hands off others during this process. There are times in our lives that we need to peck away to get our break though. We don't grow without it. We need this private place for a breakthrough where we can possibly wrestle, possibly struggle, and definetily work it out with God.
Isaiah 41:10-16. verse 15 .God is turning us into new, sharp, threshing instruments, so we can confront the enemy and to be able to help others.
Tool for thought: Falling down doesn't make you a failure, staying down does.
Revelations 21:7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. Seven times in the book of Revelations there are inheritances for those who overcome, (2:7) the right to eat from the tree of life (2:11) will not be hurt by the second death (2:17) will receive some hidden manna, and also will receive a stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it (2:26 overcomes and does His will) will be given authority over the nations (3:5) will be dressed in white and their name will He never blot out from the book of life, but He will acknowledge their name before His father and His angels. (3:12) He will make a pillar in the temple of my God (3:21) I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Set your goals higher then your ability. Soar my friend Soar!
In Christ and In Love, Brown Eagle
