The Prophetic Word
Rest For My Eagles
Dec 27, 2001
Doug Patterson
Arise and shine for this is a new day of victory, of celebration and of
breakthrough. I declare today that you are My eagles flying high in the
spirit, moving forward into a new dimension to fulfill purpose and calling,
listening closely to the voice of the Spirit of the Lord.
You have been faithful and you have been true and you have had victorious
battles. But in the process some of My eagles in their flight have been
discouraged. In your obedience to Me, others have not understood your
flight path and have spoken negative, critical, accusing words tainted with
doubt and unbelief. With heaviness of heart some of My eagles are flying
lower and at times brushing the tops of the trees in the valley. Take heart
My eagles for as you fly through this valley there is a divine purpose in
store for you.
Pause from your flight and perch on the branch of the trees set before you
for these are trees of righteousness. As you rest, you will be washed and
cleansed and purified of all battle weariness. I will restore and renew
your feathers. I will make them brilliant and bright to shine like the
morning sun and you will radiate the light and love of Jesus. I ask you now
to leap back into the air and fly to the next gathering of trees that I have
prepared for you. As you perch on the branches of these olive trees, I will
pour in and renew the oil that has been worn out of the feathers. Fresh oil
is necessary to resist the elements of the storm that would cause you to
retain water and other debris that would weigh you down in flight. This
day, this season of time, I release My oil through the olive branch that you
rest upon. I soak you in My power, My equipping and in My destiny. Your
feathers shall shine and glisten as the oil glitters upon your body.
My voice is a voice of encouragement, a voice of restoration and a voice of
healing. Listen to no other. From this position of restoration, I declare
and I request that you leap back into My perfect will. For this has been a
time of communion only, a time of rejoicing. You have paused to rest in My
presence but now you fly to a new level, a new height and a new glory. I
have victories laid out before you for I have designed no defeats for My
people, for My eagles. Fly strong and be of good courage and know that I am
with you even unto the end.
Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint.
