The Eagles

Recently over the weekend, i've been receiving impressions regarding the eagle.. then on sunday the Lord opened my eyes and dropped certain things about the ministry of an eagle and what it means...

Many people aassociate the eagle with the prophetic ministry.. which is not wrong.. but the Lord has given me some fresh insight i just want to share with this emerging generation of eagles...

The anointing of an eagle is the anointing of intimacy.. that's the primary thing that characterises a prophet's ministry- his intimacy with God.. a prophet knows God's heart.. John the Revelator, the Apostle who wrote the fourth gospel, is also known as the Apostle of Love... he was frequently symbollised by the eagle, as was his gospel.. revelations 4 gives us an insight into the 4 living creatures which are symbollic of matthew, mark, luke and john.. the living creature with the face like an eagle symbollises the gospel of John.. cos it portrays Jesus' divinity as the Son of God as well as His ministry as the Prophet.. God was identified with the eagle in the bible, even as in Deuteronomy, it says that he carried the children of Israel on His wings.. Prophets were identified with the eagle too.. but especially John.. The foremost quality that we know about John is that he laid his head on the heart of Jesus.. cos true prophets really know His heart.. John is also known as the disciple whom Jesus loved and he had a great revelation of God's love that we can see from the writing of his gospel as well as his epistles.. Out of the three that were part of Jesus' inner circle, John stood out.. He was the disciple who had the greatest intimacy with Jesus...

The gospel of John, therefore, is a gospel of intimacy that proceeds from John's profound revelation of God.. the revelatory anointing comes together with the anointing for intimacy.. I call Psalm 139 the Psalm of intimacy as it shows David having an intimate revelatory encounter with God... From Psalm 139 and Ephesians 3, the Lord showed me how the eagle is called to explore how wide, long, high and deep is the love of Christ...

Some points about the eagle... The eagle has powerful talons and a beak, that makes it dangerous to its enemies.. the Bible makes many references also to how swift it is.. the eagle also makes its nest on high.. it makes its dwelling up on the mountain.. which represents our walk with God, how close we are to Him, dwelling in His secret place of intimacy, on that high place where He is.. Everyone's also probably familiar with Isa 40:31.. and the reason why many in the church suffer burnout is cos of lack of intimacy.. but God promises that as we wait on Him, He will renew our strength... Many times, the journey may be tiring and lonely.. that's why we see the eagle build his lonely dwelling up the mountain.. cos in that place of solitude, that's where he encounters God...

But though the eagle stays up on high, it also swoops down and catches prey... it has powerful vision cos of its more dilated pupils that allow more light into its eyes.. its vision helps it to see its prey from a great distance.. the eagle soars on a strategic plane, having great vision and greater perspective on the will and counsel of God.. This speaks of intimacy and the anointing of an eagle as an anointing for strategic-level intercession... we are called to dwell in heaven as well as to execute the counsels of God upon the earth.. we're called to see from a strategic plane and war against the counsel and strategies of the enemy upon different spheres in the earth... but more than that.. we're called to usher in the government and authority of God in these spheres, as we have seen and heard from on high.. in the spheres of science, music, biology, industry, etc...

Which brings me to the prophetic call of this generation.. paul keith davis talks about the four living creatures in revelations 4 as symbollic of the different ages in church history and we're living in the last, the time when God is pouring out a great eagle, revelatory anointing.. He's raising up a revelatory company to usher in His glory and His judgments upon the areas of the media, government, politics, etc.. the different spheres on earth where He strategically stations His eagles.. He's gonna release this company to go up and soar in the heavens where they'll receive revelatory blueprints of God's government and plans and then go down to earth to execute them to usher in His glory.. it's part of His end-time plan to usher in His coming.. But this prophetic company is gonna be known more than just by their revelatory gifts that they bring in the spheres where God places them.. this group of people will carry with them an anointing for intimacy.. they'll carry an unbridled love for the Lord.. they'll spend time in prayer and worshipping Him and knowing the deepest chambers of His heart...

God bless!
