Eagle

Dear Friend,
How are you? Hope you’re well.

In the evening of January 2024, I was worshiping the Father, standing and walking to and fro in the living room, before a monthly zoom meeting with my Singapore pastor and others started. Then, my eyes were fixed on Irene Wong’s second prophetic painting for me, next to TV. It was my flying, sitting on top of an Eagle’s back. I was painted as a little girl, not an adult. So, at that time, I thought to myself, “I’ve seen Irene paint some paintings for my family and friends, and they were all portrayed as adults in the painting. Why on earth am I a little girl, not a lady, in this painting?” I didn’t mean that I don’t like myself to be portrayed as a little girl in that painting. In fact, I love it a lot, as the girl in the painting is cute and joyful. But in that evening I became curious for the first time since I received the painting. 

Then, I still had to wait for about 30 minutes or so, till my zoom meeting started. And I decided to watch a Pastor David Guzik’s video, titled “The Mosaic Covenant.” Unexpectedly, I listened to his reading Exodus 19:4:
“You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.”
Then, to my utter amazement, he mentioned about the mother eagle and young eagles. I quote his explanation from his online commentary, Enduring Word:
d. I bore you on eagles’ wings: An eagles’ wings are strong and sure; but they also speak of careful protection. It is said that an eagle does not carry her young in her claws like other birds; the young eagles attach themselves to the back of the mother eagle and are protected as they are carried. Any arrow from a hunter must pass through the mother eagle before it could touch the young eagle on her back.
i. “This metaphor is developed most extensively in Deuteronomy 32:11, where the loving compassion, protection, strength, and watchfulness of God is compared with the majestic bird’s attributes.” (Kaiser)
e. And brought you to Myself: The deliverance (I bore you on eagles’ wings) was for fellowship (brought you to Myself). God didn’t deliver Israel so they could live apart from God, but so they could be God’s people.)

It was another jaw-dropping moment that the Father orchestrated. I never expected that He would answer my question on the painting just a while back, through the sermon, “The Mosaic Covenant!”  And I felt comforted and assured on His faithfulness, lovingkindness, protection and power. 

Pastor David also said (I paraphrase to my recollection) that as the Scripture “You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself,” we have seen what He did in our lives. 

In December 2024 & January 2025, Pastor John Fenn wrote in monthly newsletters about difficult times to come to the USA and the rest of the world, which the Lord shared with him during His visitation. It wasn’t fear-mongering, but encouragement to remember His faithfulness:
“Hebrews 10: 32 says: “Call to remembrance the former days, when you were first illuminated (born again) and the great difficulties you faced.” The meaning being to remember His faithfulness from start to now, and settling your heart to know as He was faithful then, He is faithful now, and will be faithful in the future. You can settle the heart against future difficulties if you call to remembrance his record of faithfulness throughout your life. And some of us can think of our lives before we came to the Lord and remember that He was faithful to bring us to salvation in the first place – without Him many of us would be dead or locked up! Remember the early days, settle your heart that He was faithful, is, faithful, will be faithful. Fear nothing. Stay away from web sites that have spirits of fear attached, for there are many ‘Christian’ sites that have unclean spirits attached. Be disciplined no matter how curious you are….faith in Christ is serious business, guard your hearts and minds. 
For those walking with Him, who hold onto His peace, will see His faithfulness in all things. (From Jan. Newsletter)”

Friend,
You and I have seen what He did in our lives. We have our own story on His faithfulness. He is our Father and He will carry us as mother eagle carries her young. We live in peace, knowing His power and trusting His faithfulness.

Have a bliss!
Julie

Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.  (Isaiah 49:15~16)
