Look Again, You Are Rising Stronger

LOOK AGAIN, YOU ARE RISING STRONGER

LOOK AGAIN AT THE EAGLE
God has been HIGHLIGHTING the EAGLE lately as a representation of this season. The eagle is such a well used prophetic symbol, and yet I sense God saying look again at the eagle, specifically the process of renewing. The body of Christ have been in transition, from glory to greater glory, but a better description of this transition would be a divine re-set, a re-birth, a re-newing into the new!  The bride is rising from the ashes with new strength and increased vigour and sharp, effective wisdom for this season. What the enemy meant for harm, God has AND IS turning for good (Rom 8:28).  

LOOK AGAIN
I hear the Lord say “Look Again” You are not positioned for disaster, you are positioned for take off. You will rise stronger.

ISAIAH 40:31 - “but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

God is renewing (re-establishing and re-making) your strength like the eagle. It means you’ll fly again, higher, stronger and with new perspective and skill.

FROM VULNERABLE TO REJUVENATION: JUST LIKE THE EAGLE, LOSS LEADS TO NEW BEGINNINGS

At a certain point in an eagles life it looses its feathers, beak and talons as a process of transformation takes place.  Whilst this is happening the eagle must hide in the crevice of mountain rocks to stay protected literally by the “rock” (let’s call this rock Jesus)  The eagle is in a vulnerable state during this process or rejuvenation as it is can’t protect itself, and can even rely on other eagles to feed him. As I think of this process I imagine the eagle can feel exposed, and raw as the past seasons are stripped away, before the new feathers etc grow back. And that which is worn down such as the beak and talons can be uncomfortable at the realisation of loss of what the eagle has always known, even painful as the eagle struggles in the discarding the old. However this process is necessary so that new feathers, beak and talons can grow and replace the old, and the “eagle can renew its strength” and fly higher and more effectively than before. During this time the eagle is protected by the rock.  You too are protected by the Lord in your hardest of seasons.

BEFORE AN EAGLE RENEWS IT’S STRENGTH, IT EXPERIENCES LOSS, TRANSITION & A SENSE OF DISPLACEMENT, BUT WHAT IS DISCARDED ONLY MAKES ROOM FOR UPGRADE.
I hear the Lord say, you will run.  You will soar, you are being renewed, just as the eagle is renewed.  You are arising stronger.

Many in the body are entering a new season but first God has been transforming you as you have said yes to the call to “hiddenness in the rock” and sought deeper intimacy with the Holy Spirit. There is a divine re-set taking place that for some has felt more like loss, disconnection and misalignment with what used to fit. It’s been painfully uncomfortable, despite being a precious time of growing deep intimacy.   Many have felt very vulnerable as the Lord has stripped away unnecessary things, delving deep into the core of long term heart issues with the purpose of restoring and healing, but this process has been demanding emotionally.  It has felt like a “pause” in the journey whilst a divine re-set has unfolded, but the Lord desires you know this is for the purpose of rejuvenation and a divine comeback into greater strength and capacity. Just like the eagle, what seems like loss positions the eagle for greater strength, greater effective tools/weapons, and greater heights of promotion and anointing. God has deepened your reliance in Him. It has been (and is) important to allow the Lord to heal and restore the deep places that need a fresh pouring out of heavens healing oil.  

DIVINE COMEBACK FROM DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES
This is divine comeback season! Just like the eagle in its time of transformation and transition, when it seems at its weakest and most vulnerable, it suddenly and surprisingly emerges stronger than ever! You too are emerging stronger than ever and arising from the ashes.  There is a divine re-set taking place, restoring and rejuvenating you, and re-positioning you for divine comeback!

LAST SEASONS “FEATHERS” ARE BEING CAST OFF
The bride is casting off last seasons “feathers”.  There is a casting off taking place of that which is no longer useful or helpful in this coming season, to make room for that which is necessary and needed for you to flourish in your next God assignment. Don’t fear what looks like loss, as it’s positioning you for new increase, improved tools and more effective weapons.

FIERCE DETERMINATION FORGED IN THE FIRE READY FOR TAKE OFF

The past season has been costly for many as you have journeyed through challenging and sometimes painful circumstances to navigate your heart through.  Many have identified with the eagle’s sense of loss, struggling with feelings of being misplaced as the there has been a stripping away and purging with fire that has required humility and authenticity of heart before the Lord, and yet has forged purity and a fierce determination in you.  There has been a price for the intimacy you now walk in but the Lord considers this a precious offering unto Him. The Lords faithfulness and your endurance to seek the Fathers heart in the midst of uncomfortable situations and intense warfare, has positioned you for take off!  Just like the eagle hidden in the rock, THE rock is protecting you and and speaking resurrection life over you and your season. A fierce faith has arisen in you. You are positioned for take off with new strength forged in the fire.

UPGRADED WEAPONS
Just like the eagle you are being given new upgraded feathers, talons and beak.  There is new authority and influence being released, new strategies and solutions to soar and new upgraded weapons of breakthrough to defeat the enemies onslaughts! What used to allude you, will now fear you. You have become a fierce weapon of breakthrough.

FROM ONE WHO HAS SOUGHT GOD’S PROMISES TO ONE WHO IS A WALKING, TALKING PROMISE
You will rise above the attacks of the enemy and emerge stronger, with greater anointing to break the enemies chains.  You have been transformed in this past season from one who has sought God’s promises to one who is a walking, talking promise!  You have become a sharp and effective weapon in the hand of the Lord and you are rising stronger than before the enemy dared to mess with you. Your heart will flourish and thrive as God restores and rejuvenates.

THINGS WILL LOOK DIFFERENT
Much in this next season will look different than you thought, but that is because you are different too.  You are stronger. Allow the Lord to open doors that look different than you imagined, and yet are upgrade. Allow the Lord to shift your grieving from the things that have changed, to excitement that things have changed! This is a new beginning with new potential for maximum effectiveness and new heights of flourishing that once was only a dream.  God is writing stories of awe, wonder and breakthrough to your promises. Many promises will spring up with new life, even those from decades ago.  

It won’t look the same as you are being upgraded for greater effectiveness and fruitfulness. You are being upgraded with tools and weapons forged in the fire. An upgraded supernatural hope will burst forth stripping away heaviness, regrets and disappointments from a season past. Your heart is being healed so it can thrive and dream again, ready to fly into your greatest of victories.

BE READY. DOORS ARE OPENING
Be ready for take off season.  Be ready as doors are opening. Be ready for breakouts of his glory.  God is doing a new thing indeed but it has started with doing a new thing in you.  You have been made ready.  You will arise strong.  You will burst forth with hope and soar on renewed victorious eagles wings.  Breakthrough is blowing and you will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint. It’s time to soar being who you are made to be.

OUR PRAYER FOR YOU
We are believing with you for a new season of rising stronger than ever and positioned ready for take off. We speak effectual doors opening and your heart flourishing in this season.  We pray His tangible, manifest presence surrounding you and holding you as God positions you for increase.  May much oil of intimate connection be added to you as you seek God’s heart and arise into new beginnings.  Be blessed.
