"You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself" Exodus 19:4 (NKJV)
The eagle is a high flier. The eagle can fly as high as 10000 feet and even higher. In the above text, God was reminding the Israelites of the mighty deliverance He wrought for them at the Red Sea. When their enemies, the Egyptians were drowning God literally carried His own people on eagles wings.
Because the Israelites were operating from God's frequency, the challenge that drowned their enemies became their own testimonies. Whenever we operate from God's frequency, we become high fliers in the Spirit and able & better equipped to handle daily pressures & challenges. We glide and ride over mountains & challenges as if they do not exist. When we operate from God's frequency, He Himself carries us on His wings over and above life challenges and problems. Below are ways to operate from God's frequency:
1) Feast on the Word of God: To feast means to have something in abundant measure. The converse of feasting is fasting when you deprive yourself of something pleasurable.Just like we do in buffet restaurants when you are allowed to take as much food as you can in relish & delight, we are to settle down with God's Word and take an abundant measure of it. By feasting on the Word, we are able to store an abundance of the Word in our hearts.
We live life from the inside out. When our spirit man is well fed & robust, we operate from a fortified heart and are able to counter the pressures of daily living with God's assistance. And when we are lean in our inner man, we are weak and unable to stand against life challenges and pressures. "The spirit of man will sustain him in sickness but a broken spirit who can bear" (Proverbs 18:14, Proverbs 17:22). Jesus also said His words produce life and spirit in us (John 6:63).
2) Waiting on the Lord: The waiter in a restaurant is focused on the customer; all his activities center around the customer. He is sensitive to the customer such that as he beckons, the waiter responds. To wait on God simply means having designated times all activities focus and center around Him. The more regularly we do this, the more our inner strength is renewed, the more equipped we become to battle and counter life's challenges (Isaiah 40:29-31). The eagle bird as it grows older retreats to high mountains where it sheds off it's weak feathers & waits for new ones to emerge. The way to avoid burn-outs, stress & depression that is due to life challenges is to regularly wait on the Lord.
3) Declare the Word of the Lord: Faith gets stronger as we boldly declare the Word of God and also get weaker as we declare our worries and fears. Our words emanate from our thoughts. The Bible enjoins us to think positively (Philippians 4:8). The Bible also tells us that right words are forceful, dynamic and able to effect changes (Job 6:25). The speech center of the brain is also called the motor center of the body, that is the words we speak can take us to a good or bad destination depending on how we channel our words. We command the movement of angels and demon spirits by the words we speak. For God to carry us on eagles wings, our words must align with His Word always.
CONCLUSION: The tires of an airplane are able to carry the enormous weight of the plane and also land the plane safely despite the incredible weight because they have pressure inside them. The load and weight you are able to carry successfully is determined by how much of the life of God you have in your heart. Allow more of the Spirit in you through the aforementioned and you will discover you are flying high and unmoved by the challenges and pressures of life. Have a blessed new month.
