- Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]—blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he.” (AMPC); Hebrews 12:2
- Company
- Flock with eagles (sense of dominance when they are together and are inspired)
- Never mingle with other birds – have different types of friends
- Have giants in your life to push you and draw you up
- Same level to encourage and support you
- Timothys of the world that you can pour yourself into
- Ephesians 5:5-7; 1 Cor. 15:33
- Fights
- Use beaks and claws to defend and attack
- Take on any size of animal in a fight – fight to the bitter end
- Eph 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (use the word of God)
- When a crow attacks, eagles soar to a high altitude
- At a very high attitude, a crow loses its breath – put devil in disarray
- Shedding Off
- Retreat to high mountains to molt under the bright sun (draw energy from the sun)
- Older eagles bring food to them in their weakened state
- If they survive this period, they become renewed and stronger
- Isaiah 40:30-31; Malachi 4:2
- Birth & Nature
- Fear of Leaving the Nest
- Parent eagles turn thorns inward to cause discomfort
- Pushes eaglet out and rescues as he/she approaches the ground until he/she can fly
- Remain an eaglet if you stay in the nest
- Reasons why we stay in our nest: (Things that limit us from experiencing our dominion)
- Comfort zone (Acts 8)
- Satisfaction instead of contentment
- Afraid of change
- Negative past experiences and mistakes
- Spirit of fear or satanic stronghold
- Waiting on Jesus
- Isaiah 40:30-31 ‘Even youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.’ (AMP)
- If you don’t know how to wait in the Lord, you will not be able to express your dominion
- Dimensions of ‘Wait’
- Trust and hope in Jesus – Psalm 27:14; 37:7
- Eyes fixed on Jesus – Psalm 123:2
- Attentive for His instructions John 5:19
- Spend time with God (be a Mary, not a Martha)
- Shed off excuses
- Wind of the Spirit
- Proverbs 30:18-19
- He is within us
- His leading is to lift us high
- He empowers us to manifest our dominion in Jesus – Acts 2:1-2
- Changes you from an ordinary person to an extraordinary person
- Conclusion
