Bondage, Spiritual: Free As A Bird?

Recently we put up a hummingbird feeder with four feeding stations. Almost immediately it became popular with the hummingbirds that live in our area. Two, three, or even four birds would feed at one time. We refilled the feeder at least once a day. Suddenly the usage decreased to almost nothing. The feeder needed filling only about once a week.
The reason for the decreased usage soon became apparent. A male bird had taken over the feeder as his property. He is now the only hummingbird who uses our feeder. He feeds and then sits in a nearby tree, rising to attack any bird that approaches his feeder. Guard duty occupies his every waking hour. He is an effective guard. The only time another bird gets to use the feeder is when the self-appointed owner is momentarily gone to chase away an intruder.

We soon realized that the hummingbird was teaching us a valuable lesson. By choosing to assume ownership of the feeder, he is forfeiting his freedom. He is no longer free to come and go as he wished. He is tied to the work of guarding his feeder. He is possessed by his possession. His freedom of action is as circumscribed as if he were in a cage. He is caged by a situation he has created. -- W. L. Barnes

What a wonderful thing to have a chance to speak with Jesus, not only speak but be taught! (Can you hear God talking to you? are you teachable?)
Jesus, when he was here doing his Fathers business was forever teaching, that is why He is called the Great Teacher.
Here we are taught that forgivness comes to those that hear His voice, we are taught that. nothing we do is hidden from God, But that he is able to forgive us of any sin! ( Are you able to forgive thiose that have commited a sin aginist you? are you willing?) We just have to be bold enough to confess them and walk away from them. (Just confess and learn to leave them with the Pord, for we can't do nothing but believe that God has got our backs). in this passage Jesus tells the woman her life story yet he gives her a chance to admit her sin, what has to be seen is he forgave her right then!
then she tells him of her beliefs and He tells her the TRUTH. He told her of a time that is comming when her and her people will worship the Father in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
Then she is told the truth that she was a truly blessed person for the one that the people had spoken of was indeed himself.
I would suggest you read on and see how this womans life story of being what she was was used to win souls for the kingdom.
what is your story? Will you allow God to use it to win souls?, I need to tell you frist you have to admit them, release them then use them.

God bless you and have a wonderful remainder of the week.
John 4
Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
1 The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).

10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."

11 "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"

13 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."

16 He told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."

17 "I have no husband," she replied.

Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."

19 "Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."

21 Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

25 The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us." 26 Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."

The Disciples Rejoin Jesus
27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 "Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something."

32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

33 Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"

34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor."

Eagles Eyes Viewing the Parade

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

"At the timberline where the storms strike with the most fury, the sturdiest trees are found." Hudson Taylor

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

Learning to Fly

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
Matthew 11:28,29 Heb, 4:16 John 14:27 John 15:4 1Cor.6:17

"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!

Confinements of Want

Life is not defined by what we have, even when we have a lot.

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"


Rev. Dann "StrongOak" Dear

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.

Hebrews 12a...Let us fix our eyes on Jesus....

Whisper....Thank you for being you in Him!

In Christ, in His glory....Brown Eagle

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!

In Christ, Brown Eagle

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.

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.

Hebrews 12a...Let us fix our eyes on Jesus....

Whisper....Thank you for being you in Him! In Christ, in His glory....Brown Eagle

Is your spiritual height limited? Not seeing much growth lately? Are things weighing you down?

Proverbs 12:18...Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Vices Gal. 5:19-21 Virtues Gal. 5:22, 23

When another makes a negative comment, judgement, statement, opionion... so many times we either believe it or take it to heart. Unkind words spoken hurt, weigh us down, wound the soul, and leave us in pain with years of echos. Psm. 64:3

If we were able to look at it through Spiritual eyes....weigh it on the scale of Christs love and Gal. 5:22 the fruit of the Spirit...(including even discipline and correction)...it should carry much weight. If it was said to us in anger, jelousy, pride...it should carry little weight... but for many of us its weight is opposite.

In prayer and with the Lords guidance and direction...we need to pull the feathers (hurtful words) that weigh us down and discard them. We need to replace them with the Lords words of truth and His words that bring life.

Lord, my prayer lifted is that You mend our wings and carry each of us to new Spiritual heights in You. Ex. 19:4 Psm. 18:33 Isa. 61:1-3 Matt. 11:28,29

Soar my friend Soar. In Christ and to His glory, Brown Eagle

The Native Prayer Circle

1 Th 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. Romans 12:8a, Acts 15:32, Heb. 10:25, Heb.3:13.
 

Native American Circle of Friends

 
The Native Legend says that at the end of the evening, friends would gather around a bonfire and share their hearts and speak of the good qualitites of each other. They reflected upon times shared, as the embers faded, their friendship was said to be sealed anew, bringing them closer together.
 
 

The Native American Indians in our simplicity, are taught to literally give away all that we have--to relatives, to guests of other tribes or clans, but above all to the poor and the aged, from whom we can hope for no return.

Matthew 6:3... But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.

When out gardening with my husband...the meanings of Matt. 6:3 kept running through my mind. I understood what the Lord was trying to teach..but the Lord took it a little further with me that day...a deeper insight...(whisper...as Pamela would call it a light bulb moment)...Maybe also our giving should be so automatic...that there is no time, thought, questioning...even b4 our other hand realizes what is being let go of....just do it. Release...give...let go.

Matt. 25:31-37...Then the righteous will answer Him, Lord, "WHEN DID WE SEE" You hungry and feed you, or give You drink when you were thirsty, invite You in as a stranger, clothed You, visit You when You were sick or in prison? Verse 40..The King will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Acts 20:35, 2 Cor. 9:7, Proverbs 21:26

Whisper...could "be in secret" also include ones self?

In Christs Glory, Brown Eagle

Growing in Grace

Are you one who doesn't see within.... spiritual growth?

Php 1:6 being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Going through a new season of growing pains... sometimes it is hard for us to see the growth and change. One can only sense the soils restrictions... limits set by earthly weight and even by ones own self. Breaking through the soil...may be painful at times. The outcome from a new emergence we long to see.

We need to rest in the soil under the Son, because it is God who is watching and waiting for us to bloosom. It is the Lords purposes and plans that are preparing us. We need to "rest" on Php 1:6 that He (not I) who began a good work...(He not I) will carry it on....to completion.

Whisper...friend, soar boldly, being confidant...that in the soil of our confinements and weakness's....The Lord will carry it on...to completion! Ex. 19:4 2 Cor 3:18 In Christ, Brown Eagle

Matthew 14:29-32...v.30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"

A door opened and I was asked to speak several years ago at a High School in an auditorium of 1,400. Before leaving that morning, I started to pace the floors, arms a flapping (a works of the flesh moment :) ...Lord, who am I fooling that I can do this, Lord, what did I get myself into this time, why do I keep getting myself into these positions and on and on I went for a few minutes. When I finally grew tired and just dropped to my knees...the Lord whispered to me in the quietness...The answer to your problem is within your questions..."I". Your right Brown Eagle...you can't...but with and in Me you can. Keep your eyes on me. Heb. 12:2 Psm 141:8 Cor. 4:18


Peter started to focus on the high waves. He started to sink because he took his eyes off of Christ. Taking our eyes off of Christ, we too are going to sink or backslide. During difficult situations we need to keep our eyes on Christ, rather then our inadequacies, circumstances, situations...whisper....and the "I"'s. In Christ, Brown Eagle

Whisper....keep your eyes on the Son!
