(Proverbs 28:22-28) A man with an evil eye hastens after riches, and does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
23) He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward than he who flatters with the tongue.
24) Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It is no transgression," the same is companion to a destroyer.
25) He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,but he who trusts in the LORD will be prospered.
26) He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
27) He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
28) When the wicked arise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
(Psalms 34:8) Oh, taste and see that the Lord is Good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
For everything there is a season,and A time for every purpose under heaven :A time to be born, A time to die: A time to planet. And time to pluck what is planted:
Eagles have special eyes. The eaglets eyes develop with maturity. The eagles eyes are eight times stronger then our eyes. They can see a rabbit from 2 miles away. The eagle has two sets of eyelids: one with a lens for looking right into the sun and the other to hunt with. The higher he flies, the larger will be his perspective. Job 39:29 From there he seeks out his food; his eyes detect it from afar.
Whisper...the higher he flies, the larger his perspective....
There have been times years back, while visiting with Christ, I'd ask Him, "Why?" Why to mainly my childhood events and circumstances. The Lord finally answered one day a couple of years ago at a funeral I had attended of a dear loved one Mrs. Berres. After the funeral I was approached by two priests, good friends of hers. I was introduced to them. I shared with them just how much she had meant to me. Then they shared with me the impact of my past, had on her. Due to what I'd been through, she dedicated her life to fight for the rights of emotional, physical, and sexually abused children both within and outside of the church...including a couple of priests who now are serving time. On the ride home that day...I was just left amazed....Lord I understood.
The Parade...
Life many times is like watching a parade that is going by through a peep-hole in the fence. You cannot see what has already passed by nor what is ahead. At times for us, it is so hard to understand the why's...why to pain, struggles, loneliness, loss, hardships, circumstances... But now and then...I truly believe we are blessed with an answer or reasons, all for His glory and purpose. Christ will lift us up and set us on His shoulders for a bit, to see a larger perspective of the parade. That happened for me that day at the funeral. Can you imagine that...a funeral of a dear loved one became part of my parade. Just awesome!
Even Moses...got a glimpse from Mount Nebo in Deut. 34:4b..."I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it."
Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the word of this law. In Christs Glory and in memory of Mrs. Berres friendship, Brown Eagle

A few years ago, as I was driving under the stars through the Smokey Mountains, my journey led me into fog. In an unfamiliar area, no where to pull over, I was alone on a single curvey stretch of highway. The higher I traveled the mountain ...the denser the fog had become. My path eventually could barely be seen....yet I knew it was in front of me. Slowly, yet now afraid, I pressed on up the deep incline. I knew that it would eventually clear once I started my descent....but I first had to get to the top of the mountain and over....before that could occur. The stars and moon had gone no where, I just couldn't see them. The Lord was my compass that night. Whisper...pressing on in faith and prayer....strengthens the bridge between fear and courage.
Whisper...When you're in doubt, be still, and wait; (Isa. 40:31)
when doubt no longer exists, press on with courage. (Matt. 21:21,22)
As long as the fog surrounds you, be still; (Psm. 46:10)
be still until the "Son" radiates through and the fog begins to disappear (1 John:1:7)
...as "He" surely will. (Matt. 11:28-30)
Then, and only then, respond with courage. (Zec. 4:6) In Christ, Brown Eagle
In Him we also we have obtained and inheritance,being predestined according to "the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
Ephesians 1:11-12
As a believer,you are meant to enjoy your spiritual inheritance,Life presents many challenges,but you must recongnize what is rightfully yours through placing your confidence in Christ.You don't have to live on a emotional roller coaster, feeling up one day and down the next .Instead,you can live as Christ lived,with sence of peace and security that comes from knowing who you are and whose you are.Untill you make the right decision to claim and live in your inheritance,the enemy will continue to rob you of what jesus died to provide you His righteousness,peace,and joy that prevail even in the midst of turmoil and confusion. So calm down, cheer up,and learn to enjoy the inheritance that is yours through Christ,

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. In Christ, Brown Eagle
This is for those who might be having a rough day at work, mourning a loss, facing a town bully, medical issues, falling short, bills growing while moneys stretched out all ready, didn't do quite as good as we would have wanted too, chore lists growing......
In Colossians 3 verse 3 God tells us, "For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God."
One way I love to explain this verse is that you take a black Missouri walnut. I'm sure we have all had our experiences with them. On the outside is the soft shell, when you crack and peel it, they leave the black stain on your fingers for days. Next you have the hard shell to crack, and then you find the nut which is inside. It's like that for us. I know that when things are coming at me, it goes through the soft shell, God first, and then the hard shell, Christ, before it ever gets to me, the one inside. I know that I'm protected within two layers and whatever is going to happen, that it's going to have to go through the first two layers, God and Christ first. I know that I'm going to be ok, I'm not alone, and that I have a place for comfort and peace to rest. God is in complete control and in charge of everything that occurs in my life. What an awesome postion and place to rest! Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle
Matthew 11:28,29 Heb, 4:16 John 14:27 John 15:4 1Cor.6:17
Do not hurt your neighbor, for it is not him you wrong, but yourself...The Shawnee.
God tells each of us to love thy neighbor. But what if we say...how...I can't...not them...look what they do...look what they have done to me...(Matthew 5:43-48) The Word remind us about only loving those who love us, greeting only our brothers...
So I ask..."How?" The Lord whispered to me the answer...that I now pass on to you...."Lord, please love them through me and grow that love from within." Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle
Are there any who are devout lovers of God?
Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival!
Are there any who are grateful servants?
Let them rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord!
Are there any weary with fasting?
Let them now receive their wages!
If any have toiled from the first hour, let them receive their due reward;
If any have come after the third hour, let him with gratitude join in the Feast!
And he that arrived after the sixth hour, let him not doubt; for he too shall sustain no loss.
And if any delayed until the ninth hour, let him not hesitate; but let him come too.
And he who arrived only at the eleventh hour, let him not be afraid by reason of his delay.
For the Lord is gracious and receives the last even as the first. He gives rest to him that comes at the eleventh hour, as well as to him that toiled from the first.
To this one He gives, and upon another He bestows. He accepts the works as He greets the endeavor. The deed He honors and the intention He commends.
Let us all enter into the joy of the Lord!
First and last alike receive your reward;
rich and poor, rejoice together!
Sober and slothful, celebrate the day!
You that have kept the fast, and you that have not,
rejoice today for the Table is richly laden!
Feast royally on it, the calf is a fatted one.
Let no one go away hungry.
Partake, all, of the cup of faith. Enjoy all the riches of His goodness!
Let no one grieve at his poverty,
for the universal kingdom has been revealed.
Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again;
for forgiveness has risen from the grave.
Let no one fear death,
for the Death of our Savior has set us free.
He has destroyed it by enduring it. He destroyed Hell when He descended into it. He put it into an uproar even as it tasted of His flesh. Isaiah foretold this when he said, " You, O Hell, have been troubled by encountering Him below."
Hell was in an uproar because it was done away with. It was in an uproar because it is mocked. It was in an uproar, for it is destroyed. It is in an uproar, for it is annihilated. It is in an uproar, for it is now made captive.
Hell took a body, and discovered God.
It took earth, and encountered Heaven.
It took what it saw, and was overcome by what it did not see.
O death, where is thy sting? O Hell, where is thy victory? Christ is Risen, and you, o death, are annihilated!
Christ is Risen, and the evil ones are cast down!
Christ is Risen, and the angels rejoice! Christ is Risen, and life is liberated!
Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead;
for Christ having risen from the dead,
is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
To Him be Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen!
Galatians 2:6 As for those who seemed to be important- whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not judge by external apperance- those men added nothing to my message.
Are you one that has experienced being set apart or set aside, one that was not included, not fitting in, not one of the popular kids on the street or in school, wrong size bank account, wrong or no name brand shoes, not welcomed in a new town or church, your outward apperances don't measure up or match...
Whisper...I went to a reunion this summer and was told by many about a certain restaurant. I went with my 18 year old niece to try it out. Needless to say after 20 minutes...it was obvious they were not going to wait on me...so we went ahead, got up quietly, and left.
The peacock is our flashy showy bird. He is worldly, full of pride, and very impressed with himself. He needs center stage or front page. Must be on that top 10 list. He loves to strut his stuff and seldom does anything for anyone else in need. He is the me, me, me bird. Peacocks have a tendency of looking down on others, judging and comparing. Very picky on who he includes into his circles. They are the religious zealots of the bird kingdom, our Sunday show birds.
So...looking into the Word...what does Christ say to us...
Isa. 61.1-3 1b..He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted...
1 Cor.1:26-31 v28. But God...chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things- and the things that are not-
Isa. 49:9 Mt. 11:28 Mt. 5 ;1-12 The Beatitudes..blessed are...1 Cor. 1:26-31 Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in Spirit.
A reminder to the peacocks: Instead of looking at ones-self we need to look at Jesus. He is our example.
Rev. 18:2b "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird."
1 Cor.12:12-27 v. Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. v.22 those parts of the body that seem weaker are indespensable v.24 presentable parts need no special treatment.
Mt. 5:43-48..If you only greet your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
***James 2:1-9....favoritism forbidden...Acts 10:34
Mt.23:27 beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead mens bones and everything unclean.
Mt. 7:1,2...Ro. 14:10...Ro. 16:17...Mt. 18:10-14... Gal 6:7
Precious Lord, you tell me ... that love covers a muliple of sins (1 Peter 4:8b) You do not want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3:9) we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Rom. 3:28) Lord I need to remember...Mt. 6:14 ...For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ...
As I am getting ready to post this...the Lord whispered... "Lost, but now found"....who would imagine this? The Lord has a purpose/reasons. WOW! I was found abandoned in Chicago at 9 months of age...and placed in Saint Vincents Orphanage there in Cook County. Lord, you have blessed me with many friends who have embraced me in friendship...and have taken me under their wings...from the same area years ago from ones who walked away. WOW! We all fit and belong somewhere. In the Body of Christ and to His Glory, Brown Eagle
He is coming back for His people. All people as "One Body" in Christ.
Not a people separated by differences, but a people unified in Christ. Not a people separated by prejudice, but a people unified in faith. Not a people separated by bitterness, but a people unified in Love.
The Bible tells us that the Creator God created us ALL in His image. This means we should stop living by our own emotions and start operating in the Love of God. Instead of stumbling over differences which separate us, we need to look to the One that brings inclusion which is Jesus Christ. For it is He that separates the "wheat from the weeds" at harvest. He is the only one that can bring us together where we have grown so far apart.
As a nation, we need to tear down the walls that stand between us, and replace them with the hand of fellowship. We must replace the hurt with forgiveness and mend the wounds with unity.
"Oh Great Spirit God, we ask that you give us direction on the path of life. We ask that you lead us to where YOU want us to go. We ask that you heal our hearts from ALL bitterness, from past hurts, and place in our hearts forgiveness. Great Spirit God, bring us together in the unity of your Son Jesus who is OUR healer...Amen"
2 Cor. 3:18...And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Cor. 4:18 : So we fix our eye not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Earthly eyes see the one outside the mirror. Spiritual eyes see the "One" within. Whose reflection do you see in the mirror?
An example might be....,"Earthly eyes searching or looking"....Mirror mirror on the wall....I'm weak....the Lion in the mirror would reply....yes, alone "you" are...keep your eyes on Me. 2 Cor. 12:9 My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. Whisper... In admitting our weakness, we affirm Gods strength! "Spiritual eyes seeing".... Mirror mirror on the wall....I see your strength in my weakness.***v.10***
Another example might be...mirror mirror on the wall....I don't fit in. The Lion in the mirror would reply....Eph. 2:19-22, Col. 2:10, 1 Cor. 12:18,19-30 Rom 2:11, Rom. 12:11, Col. 3:10-14, Gal. 3:26-29.
Whatever you may say or see in the mirror....Gods Word holds the truths.
Crows are one of the main birds that harass the eagle, pulling at his tail, snipping at him. When they do this, the only escape for the eagle is to just go higher. The crow with self works and flapping strength is not enough to keep up or to reach the height of the eagle. They burn out and are overcome by their restrictions. Their bodies weren't meant for the higher altitudes.
There are two things though that the eagles must face. They are the storms and the serpents. They are afraid of neither, but they can discern the difference. They embrace the storms in life and fight the serpents.
The serpent does not attack a full grown eagle, it goes after the eggs or the eaglets or the weak . John 10:10a The thief comes only to steal and kill, and destroy...Romans 15:1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Acts 20:35, 1 Th. 5:14 The mother eagle comes to the rescue, picks up the serpent with her talons, and either takes it to a sharp rock and drops it, thereby killing it or she takes the head in her talons, rips it off, and then feeds the body to the eaglets.
So what do we do with the serpents that come into our lives or the lives of others?
First, remember our Rock, Jesus crushed Satan's head. (Genesis 3:15) Satan was defeated when Christ rose from the dead. Hallelujah! He is a defeated foe.
When Jesus dealt with the temptations in the desert, He used Scripture to counter Satan's attacks. Matthew 4: IT IS WRITTEN...
God tells us in Ephesians 6:14 to stand firm, not to duck, run, or hide... but to stand firm.
Ephesians 6:10-12 Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
A Tool for thought for the Eagle Christian: Is By knowing, obeying and applying God's Word, this is our effective weapon against the serpent. Our sword will never be dull. (Ephesians 6:17)
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
1 John 4:4 You dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
Philippians 4:13, Matt 19.26, 2Cor.12:9, Proverbs 3:6 Phil 4:19, Romans 8:37, He will carry us, sustain us, rescue us.
Whisper....over the years I have learned the days we are unable to stand...Christs love, mercy, forgiveness, and grace will be there to hold us up or to carry us!
Greetings!
Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
I just wanted to let you know that these beautiful flowers remind me of you and all of my brothers and sisters in the LORD. I choose to see the beauty in your souls. God Bless you, your families and all that concerns you, in the name of Jesus!
I plead these two prayers over each and every one of you everyday, in the name of Jesus!
Pleading the Blood of Jesus
I.
Morning Prayer 1
Father, I come in the name of Jesus to plead His blood on my life and on all that belongs to me, and on all over which You have made me a steward.
I plead the blood of Jesus on the portals of my mind, my body (the temple of the Holy Spirit), my emotions, and my will. I believe that I am protected by the blood of the Lamb which gives me access to the Holy of Holies.
I plead the blood on my children, on my grandchildren and their children, and on all those whom You have given me in this life.
Lord, You have said that the life of the flesh is in the blood. Thank You for this blood that has cleansed me from sin and sealed the New Covenant of which I am a partaker.
1 Based on a prayer written by Joyce Meyer in The Word, the Name and the Blood (Tulsa: Harrison House, 1995).
In Jesus’ name, amen.
II.
Evening Prayer2
Father, as I lie down to sleep, I plead the blood of Jesus upon my life — within me, around me, and between me and all evil and the author of evil.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

The eagle has two sets of eyelids: one with a lens for looking right into the sun and the other to hunt with. The higher he flies, the larger will be his perspective.

There have been times years back, while visiting with Christ, I'd ask Him, "Why?" Why to mainly my childhood events and circumstances. The Lord finally answered one day a couple of years ago at a funeral I had attended of a dear loved one Mrs. Berres. After the funeral I was approached by two priests, good friends of hers. I was introduced to them. I shared with them just how much she had meant to me. Then they shared with me the impact of my past, had on her.

On the ride home that day...I was just left amazed....Lord I understood.
The Parade...
Life many times is like watching a parade that is going by through a peep-hole in the fence. You cannot see what has already passed by nor what is ahead. At times for us, it is so hard to understand the why's...why to pain, struggles, loneliness, loss, hardships, circumstances... But now and then...I truly believe we are blessed with an answer or reasons, all for His glory and purpose. Christ will lift us up and set us on His shoulders for a bit, to see a larger perspective of the parade. That happened for me that day at the funeral. Can you imagine that...a funeral of a dear loved one became part of my parade. Just awesome!
Even Moses...got a glimpse from Mount Nebo in Deut. 34:4b..."I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it."

A few years ago, as I was driving under the stars through the Smokey Mountains, my journey led me into fog. In an unfamiliar area, no where to pull over, I was alone on a single curvey stretch of highway. The higher I traveled the mountain ...the denser the fog had become. My path eventually could barely be seen....yet I knew it was in front of me. Slowly, yet now afraid, I pressed on up the deep incline. I knew that it would eventually clear once I started my descent....but I first had to get to the top of the mountain and over....before that could occur. The stars and moon had gone no where, I just couldn't see them. The Lord was my compass that night. Whisper...pressing on in faith and prayer....strengthens the bridge between fear and courage.
Whisper...When you're in doubt, be still, and wait; (Isa. 40:31)when doubt no longer exists, press on with courage. (Matt. 21:21,22)
As long as the fog surrounds you, be still; (Psm. 46:10)
be still until the "Son" radiates through and the fog begins to disappear (1 John:1:7)
...as "He" surely will. (Matt. 11:28-30)
Then, and only then, respond with courage. (Zec. 4:6) In Christ, Brown Eagle

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. In Christ, Brown Eagle

The Walnut
This is for those who might be having a rough day at work, mourning a loss, facing a town bully, medical issues, falling short, bills growing while moneys stretched out all ready, didn't do quite as good as we would have wanted too, chore lists growing......In Colossians 3 verse 3 God tells us, "For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God."
One way I love to explain this verse is that you take a black Missouri walnut. I'm sure we have all had our experiences with them. On the outside is the soft shell, when you crack and peel it, they leave the black stain on your fingers for days. Next you have the hard shell to crack, and then you find the nut which is inside. It's like that for us. I know that when things are coming at me, it goes through the soft shell, God first, and then the hard shell, Christ, before it ever gets to me, the one inside. I know that I'm protected within two layers and whatever is going to happen, that it's going to have to go through the first two layers, God and Christ first. I know that I'm going to be ok, I'm not alone, and that I have a place for comfort and peace to rest. God is in complete control and in charge of everything that occurs in my life. What an awesome postion and place to rest! Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

"A feather to add to ones wings."
Do not hurt your neighbor, for it is not him you wrong, but yourself...The Shawnee.
God tells each of us to love thy neighbor. But what if we say...how...I can't...not them...look what they do...look what they have done to me...(Matthew 5:43-48) The Word remind us about only loving those who love us, greeting only our brothers...
So I ask..."How?" The Lord whispered to me the answer...that I now pass on to you...."Lord, please love them through me and grow that love from within." Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

Are there any who are devout lovers of God?
Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival!
Are there any who are grateful servants?
Let them rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord!
Are there any weary with fasting?
Let them now receive their wages!
If any have toiled from the first hour, let them receive their due reward;
If any have come after the third hour, let him with gratitude join in the Feast!
And he that arrived after the sixth hour, let him not doubt; for he too shall sustain no loss.
And if any delayed until the ninth hour, let him not hesitate; but let him come too.
And he who arrived only at the eleventh hour, let him not be afraid by reason of his delay.
For the Lord is gracious and receives the last even as the first. He gives rest to him that comes at the eleventh hour, as well as to him that toiled from the first.
To this one He gives, and upon another He bestows. He accepts the works as He greets the endeavor. The deed He honors and the intention He commends.
Let us all enter into the joy of the Lord!
First and last alike receive your reward;
rich and poor, rejoice together!
Sober and slothful, celebrate the day!
You that have kept the fast, and you that have not,
rejoice today for the Table is richly laden!
Feast royally on it, the calf is a fatted one.
Let no one go away hungry.
Partake, all, of the cup of faith. Enjoy all the riches of His goodness!
Let no one grieve at his poverty,
for the universal kingdom has been revealed.
Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again;
for forgiveness has risen from the grave.
Let no one fear death,
for the Death of our Savior has set us free.
He has destroyed it by enduring it. He destroyed Hell when He descended into it. He put it into an uproar even as it tasted of His flesh. Isaiah foretold this when he said, " You, O Hell, have been troubled by encountering Him below."
Hell was in an uproar because it was done away with. It was in an uproar because it is mocked. It was in an uproar, for it is destroyed. It is in an uproar, for it is annihilated. It is in an uproar, for it is now made captive.
Hell took a body, and discovered God.
It took earth, and encountered Heaven.
It took what it saw, and was overcome by what it did not see.
O death, where is thy sting? O Hell, where is thy victory? Christ is Risen, and you, o death, are annihilated!
Christ is Risen, and the evil ones are cast down!
Christ is Risen, and the angels rejoice! Christ is Risen, and life is liberated!
Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead;
for Christ having risen from the dead,
is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
To Him be Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen!

The Peacock
Galatians 2:6 As for those who seemed to be important- whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not judge by external apperance- those men added nothing to my message.
Are you one that has experienced being set apart or set aside, one that was not included, not fitting in, not one of the popular kids on the street or in school, wrong size bank account, wrong or no name brand shoes, not welcomed in a new town or church, your outward apperances don't measure up or match...
Whisper...I went to a reunion this summer and was told by many about a certain restaurant. I went with my 18 year old niece to try it out. Needless to say after 20 minutes...it was obvious they were not going to wait on me...so we went ahead, got up quietly, and left.
The peacock is our flashy showy bird. He is worldly, full of pride, and very impressed with himself. He needs center stage or front page. Must be on that top 10 list. He loves to strut his stuff and seldom does anything for anyone else in need. He is the me, me, me bird. Peacocks have a tendency of looking down on others, judging and comparing. Very picky on who he includes into his circles. They are the religious zealots of the bird kingdom, our Sunday show birds.
So...looking into the Word...what does Christ say to us...
Isa. 61.1-3 1b..He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted...
1 Cor.1:26-31 v28. But God...chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things- and the things that are not-
Isa. 49:9 Mt. 11:28 Mt. 5 ;1-12 The Beatitudes..blessed are...1 Cor. 1:26-31 Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in Spirit.
A reminder to the peacocks: Instead of looking at ones-self we need to look at Jesus. He is our example.
Rev. 18:2b "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird."
1 Cor.12:12-27 v. Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. v.22 those parts of the body that seem weaker are indespensable v.24 presentable parts need no special treatment.
Mt. 5:43-48..If you only greet your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
***James 2:1-9....favoritism forbidden...Acts 10:34
Mt.23:27 beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead mens bones and everything unclean.
Mt. 7:1,2...Ro. 14:10...Ro. 16:17...Mt. 18:10-14... Gal 6:7
Precious Lord, you tell me ... that love covers a muliple of sins (1 Peter 4:8b) You do not want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3:9) we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Rom. 3:28) Lord I need to remember...Mt. 6:14 ...For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ...
As I am getting ready to post this...the Lord whispered... "Lost, but now found"....who would imagine this? The Lord has a purpose/reasons. WOW! I was found abandoned in Chicago at 9 months of age...and placed in Saint Vincents Orphanage there in Cook County. Lord, you have blessed me with many friends who have embraced me in friendship...and have taken me under their wings...from the same area years ago from ones who walked away. WOW! We all fit and belong somewhere. In the Body of Christ and to His Glory, Brown Eagle

He is coming back for His people. All people as "One Body" in Christ.
Not a people separated by differences, but a people unified in Christ. Not a people separated by prejudice, but a people unified in faith. Not a people separated by bitterness, but a people unified in Love.
The Bible tells us that the Creator God created us ALL in His image. This means we should stop living by our own emotions and start operating in the Love of God. Instead of stumbling over differences which separate us, we need to look to the One that brings inclusion which is Jesus Christ. For it is He that separates the "wheat from the weeds" at harvest. He is the only one that can bring us together where we have grown so far apart.
As a nation, we need to tear down the walls that stand between us, and replace them with the hand of fellowship. We must replace the hurt with forgiveness and mend the wounds with unity.
"Oh Great Spirit God, we ask that you give us direction on the path of life. We ask that you lead us to where YOU want us to go. We ask that you heal our hearts from ALL bitterness, from past hurts, and place in our hearts forgiveness. Great Spirit God, bring us together in the unity of your Son Jesus who is OUR healer...Amen"

2 Cor. 3:18...And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Cor. 4:18 : So we fix our eye not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Earthly eyes see the one outside the mirror. Spiritual eyes see the "One" within. Whose reflection do you see in the mirror?
An example might be....,"Earthly eyes searching or looking"....Mirror mirror on the wall....I'm weak....the Lion in the mirror would reply....yes, alone "you" are...keep your eyes on Me. 2 Cor. 12:9 My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. Whisper... In admitting our weakness, we affirm Gods strength! "Spiritual eyes seeing".... Mirror mirror on the wall....I see your strength in my weakness.***v.10***
Another example might be...mirror mirror on the wall....I don't fit in. The Lion in the mirror would reply....Eph. 2:19-22, Col. 2:10, 1 Cor. 12:18,19-30 Rom 2:11, Rom. 12:11, Col. 3:10-14, Gal. 3:26-29.

Bullies and Serpants
Crows are one of the main birds that harass the eagle, pulling at his tail, snipping at him. When they do this, the only escape for the eagle is to just go higher. The crow with self works and flapping strength is not enough to keep up or to reach the height of the eagle. They burn out and are overcome by their restrictions. Their bodies weren't meant for the higher altitudes.
There are two things though that the eagles must face. They are the storms and the serpents. They are afraid of neither, but they can discern the difference. They embrace the storms in life and fight the serpents.
The serpent does not attack a full grown eagle, it goes after the eggs or the eaglets or the weak . John 10:10a The thief comes only to steal and kill, and destroy...Romans 15:1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Acts 20:35, 1 Th. 5:14 The mother eagle comes to the rescue, picks up the serpent with her talons, and either takes it to a sharp rock and drops it, thereby killing it or she takes the head in her talons, rips it off, and then feeds the body to the eaglets.
So what do we do with the serpents that come into our lives or the lives of others?
First, remember our Rock, Jesus crushed Satan's head. (Genesis 3:15) Satan was defeated when Christ rose from the dead. Hallelujah! He is a defeated foe.
When Jesus dealt with the temptations in the desert, He used Scripture to counter Satan's attacks. Matthew 4: IT IS WRITTEN...
God tells us in Ephesians 6:14 to stand firm, not to duck, run, or hide... but to stand firm.
Ephesians 6:10-12 Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
A Tool for thought for the Eagle Christian: Is By knowing, obeying and applying God's Word, this is our effective weapon against the serpent. Our sword will never be dull. (Ephesians 6:17)
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
1 John 4:4 You dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
Philippians 4:13, Matt 19.26, 2Cor.12:9, Proverbs 3:6 Phil 4:19, Romans 8:37, He will carry us, sustain us, rescue us.
Whisper....over the years I have learned the days we are unable to stand...Christs love, mercy, forgiveness, and grace will be there to hold us up or to carry us!

Pleading the Blood of Jesus
I.
Morning Prayer 1
Father, I come in the name of Jesus to plead His blood on my life and on all that belongs to me, and on all over which You have made me a steward.
I plead the blood of Jesus on the portals of my mind, my body (the temple of the Holy Spirit), my emotions, and my will. I believe that I am protected by the blood of the Lamb which gives me access to the Holy of Holies.
I plead the blood on my children, on my grandchildren and their children, and on all those whom You have given me in this life.
Lord, You have said that the life of the flesh is in the blood. Thank You for this blood that has cleansed me from sin and sealed the New Covenant of which I am a partaker.
1 Based on a prayer written by Joyce Meyer in The Word, the Name and the Blood (Tulsa: Harrison House, 1995).
In Jesus’ name, amen.
II.
Evening Prayer2
Father, as I lie down to sleep, I plead the blood of Jesus upon my life — within me, around me, and between me and all evil and the author of evil.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
