LEARNING FROM THE EAGLE
Rising with The Eagle
An excerpt from "Mounting Up As Eagles" Available through this site.
Some people who are eagles, think of themselves as chickens.
"For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he" Proverbs 23:7
What you think of yourself is extremely important. "The me I see is the me I will be." You have so much potential to rise above where you are when you are not held back by an inferiority complex based upon negative thinking.
I love the story of Caleb and Joshua in the Book of Numbers. All the leaders saw the giants and suddenly got the "Grasshopper Syndrome". This was true of everyone except Caleb and Joshua. Caleb was an eagle surrounded by turkeys. He is the one who, in his 80's, said, "give me that mountain." Do you really want to be used of God? Then believe that you are an eagle!
When the storm comes, the chickens flap and run for the barn and the turkey goes crazy. An eagle simply grabs hold of the thermal current of the wind and flies higher than he has ever been.
The purpose of this message is to tell you that chickens and turkeys need to get out of the barnyard and soar like eagles. This goes for you! This is the first day of the rest of your life. I am here to tell you that "greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world."
