Soar Like an Eagle
Soar Like an Eagle! My husband and I were recently in another critical situation and needed an answer from God concerning our safety. We experienced the threat of a hurricane approaching our town, and it was a large one, a category 5. We are no strangers to these storms, but a category 5 was bigger than ANY ever to land near our home. We were encouraged to evacuate the area.
The problem was, the storm would cover nearly our entire state. Where were we to evacuate to? We had to decide quickly. Then we went boldly unto God, expecting an answer. God directed our steps to safety within minutes of our request. We traveled several hours away from our town, to stay with an acquaintance who knew our situation and graciously invited us to their home.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 KJV
We were soaring above the storm as we trusted our Heavenly Father to guide us to safety.
Our expectations and needs were more than abundantly provided. We had great rest, great food, and great fellowship with our new friends.
Would you like to mount up with wings like eagles?
We lived that promise as we mounted up with wings like eagles; we ran but were not weary, we walked but did not faint.
Then, we waited for the Lord to gain new strength. Our strength came from Him when we were so needy.
What does it mean to wait for the Lord?
To hope strongly, to trust, implying firmness and constancy of mind, to hope for, to wait for, to expect anything; to hope that a thing will be affected, and to wait steadily and patiently till it is effected; (New Wilson O.T. Word Studies pg. 470).
Eagles fly higher and faster than any birds in creation. Eagles will run to a storm when most birds run away from a storm. Let us run to God to expect His guidance and protection from the storms of life.
We mounted up on wings as Eagles on my healing journey and once again we ran to Him and put our trust and obedience in His Word and soared above the storm.
Eagles are about 30 to 45 inches in length, but their wingspan can be twice the size of the bird itself. Their wings measure over 8 feet many times which allows them to soar high in the heavens.
There are many storms in life, but we can mount up on wings like eagles, as His promise says. Can you picture yourself above those storms as you take His promise to heart? Wait for the Lord, with an intimate relationship of trust and obedience to Him.
Soaring never just happens. It is the result of winning the battle of the mind and taking the right thoughts captive, the thoughts of His Word…and when trouble comes you can Soar like an Eagle, above the storms of life.
Let’s soar!
Love,
Shirley

The New Birth is the most wonderful Miracle to begin with! Romans 10:9-10 shows us how to receive the new birth.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
This begins the first Miracle for you. NOW, you have unlimited resources available to you.
You now have the holy spirit inside of you, coursing through your veins and behind every fiber of your being.
You have access to all nine of the manifestations of holy spirit. 1 Corinthians 12
You are seated in the heavenlies. Ephesians 2:6
You have Christ in You, the hope of glory! Colossians 1:27
You have direct access with God! Ephesians 2:18
Let’s walk this journey together! God has called you for Such A Time As This!
1. We believe in one God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – Creator of all things. (Ephesians 4:4-6)
2.We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of Mary, crucified, died, was buried, resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of the true God and Father. (John 3:16)
3. We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the absolute inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct. It’s a spiritual book, written by The Spirit for the spirit. (II Timothy 2:15)
4. We believe in the future return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ( I Thessalonians 4:13-18)
5. We believe in the personal salvation of Believers by believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord. (“Romans 10:9 and 10.”)
6. We believe in sanctification, redemption, justification, and ministry of reconciliation and righteousness as sonship rights given at the time of the new birth through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit.
7. We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, via the shed blood and broken body, and that healing is included in the redemption and available at any time during life.
8.We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as outlined in Romans 10:9-10. We believe that every born-again person has the ability to operate all nine of the manifestations of the holy spirit. Also, we believe in the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. (Ephesians 4:7)
9. We believe in the Christian commission (Matthew 28:19) by speaking boldly, tenderly, and lovingly to all of humanity.
10. We believe in the forgiveness of sins as outlined in scripture by confessing our sins to our Heavenly Father, God and that forgiveness is given at that moment. (1 John 1:9)
11. We believe the thief, the devil, comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy and credit any of these actions as belonging to him. In complete contrast, we believe that Jesus came so that we might have life {Zoe – life in all of its fullness} and have it more abundantly. He gets credit for this abundance in life. (John 10:10)
12. We believe that God desires greatly to work in us to will and to do of His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13)
N.O.W – No Ordinary Woman
No Ordinary Woman.
N.O.W.—Woman, God created you to be more than ordinary.
He created you to be Extra-Ordinary.
When you received His gift of Holy Spirit you were no longer just a body and a soul, you became a three-part being of Body-Soul-Spirit; complete, a perfect work through the miracle of the New Birth!
This is our movement, daughter of God, to stand out from the crowd: to boldly proclaim I am His and He is mine. To see signs follow you, to see miracles performed through you, to be His Wonder! To rely only upon your God. To expect only from Him. To be independently dependent on Him alone. He is enough for you.
We are His masterpieces and we radiate with His divine love everywhere we go. You were created to live in this day-time-hour. Created for such a time as this and together we will move mountains!
In Him We Live exists so that women who love God can know and believe that they were born for such a time as NOW.
