If there was ever a time to live #AboveTheSnakeZone (The snake zone is the altitude in which the eagle soars and the snake dies)it is NOW! There has never been a time when globally contending for a move of God was so big, where holding on and advancing the Kingdom was so critical as it is in this very day. Yet many of God’s Sons and Daughters, His prophets and intercessors are weary from the battle at a time when there can be no rest from it.
Psalm 27:4 “This one thing I ask of the Lord, this one thing I seek…that I may dwell in the presence of the Lord all the days of my life gazing on His beauty and meditating in His Holy Temple”
Psalm 123:1-2 “I lift my eyes to You O God enthroned in heaven, we keep looking to heaven for mercy just as the servant looks to her master”
Hebrews 12:2 “We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the Champion who initiates and perfects our faith who is seated in the heavenly place of honor besides God’s throne”.
Ephesians 2:6 “For He raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Him”.
Galatians 6:9 “Do not grow weary in well doing for at the proper time you will reap the harvest if you do not faint”.
Rest is crucial for effective battle whether natural or spiritual. A weary “soldier” is susceptible to defeat as the enemy is always looking for the most “opportune” time to go on the attack. Clearly He did this with Jesus in the wilderness in Matthew 4:1-11. He thought “Let me get him while He is weak from hunger, weary from lack of sleep and thirst”. But his plan failed because Jesus’ strength was IN the Father, not in the food or water or natural sleep. Where is our strength?
Why are so many in the body of Christ suffering battle fatigue right now? We were born for “such a time as thing right” “He trains our hands for war, my fingers for battle” according to Psalm 144. We should not have an issue yet we do. In part, it is because we have never been conditioned for “longevity”, for “staying power” and perseverance before. Every time Yahweh tries to bring us through seasons to teach us, we run from it, we call the prayer line, we beg God to remove the very thing He has fashioned to created a steadfast, persevering Spirit in us. Those who have been honed in the wilderness and refined in the fire are the ones who will stand firm then, they are the eagles, the ones who understand where to bring the battle, The rest are running around like turkeys in the yard trying to “keep their head on”
Eagles don’t waste their time nor their energy with a whole lot of “flapping”, they soar because they “catch the wind”!! So what will we do today? Exhaust ourselves flapping around trying to avoid the ax, fighting the enemy on his turf? Or will we catch the wind of the Holy Spirit and soar as the eagle, bringing the enemy to the place he cannot live, the seat of Christ Jesus where the battle is already won? #Soar #AboveTheSnakeZone #WaitOnTheLord #HeShallRenewYourStrength #MyGodIsYahweh
