~*~You asked for it... here it is!!!


An Eagle averages about 70 years of life. It is a tough journey for an eagle to make it through 70 years... At about age 40, an eagle becomes worn out and has to work harder and harder to sustain life... and sustain flight. It's talon become soft and dull... making itt hard to hold on to their prey and catch. It's beak, from all it's years of use becomes wrinkled and unusable. It's feathers start matting to it's chest and makes flying very difficult. So they have to make a great decision to extend their life for the next 30 years...

The Eagle's has to decide it will live and by instinct, they fly up to there nest, high upon a mountain or cliff and go through a being born again experience. With it's beak being wrinkled and soft, it decides to have it removed... it does this by beating it on a rock until it falls off. Then after it grows a new beak, they look to there talons, being dull... and pull them out one by one so that they can grow new talons that are strong and durable again. Then to it's feathers... the eagle plucks out all of it's feather's and regrows new feathers that will enable it to fly easier and faster. During this time the young eagles repeatedly attacks the eagle, it is a process that takes about 5 months... It's defender are the old eagles whom have endured this molting process...

So it is like when we are born again... we will get attacked by those who have not endured the change to becoming a christian. And the one's that have come to the light of Christ come to protect us from the hurt and pain that can be caused by non christians. During the initial realization of the gift of forgiveness through the cross of calvary... we are going through an awakening period... we are putting on the new armor of the word of God in our lives. This armor will help us fly higher than ever before... We too, will defend those in search of forgiveness whom are being attacked...

Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles.


Let the shine!!!
