The Eagle has landed…
My time here in Bellingham, Washington is coming to an end, which has been a season of personal healing and spiritual growth. It flew by, but it was well needed! I believe my Heavenly FATHER knew exactly what I needed and did so in such a way as a good and loving FATHER does. And I’m so grateful and thankful to HIM for that. My time attending School of Eagles was an intense time, but a valuable one. There was so much that was taught, that at times, it was overwhelming for me! But GOD gave me the strength to do my best to take in what I was taught. So, in this blog, I will share with you, not all that was taught, but what I caught…from my instructors and from GOD.
Hearing GOD’s voice…
- Is not about “knowing what to do”, it’s about knowing GOD personally & intimately;
- If hearing GOD is about merely “knowing what to do” then knowing what to do is your god;
- Man’s traditions, beliefs and strong opinions can hinder from hearing GOD;
- The highest form of communication is the Holy Spirit speaking to the human heart;
- Hearing GOD is about learning to recognize the “voice” and the “heart” of GOD.
This class was my favorite class by far out of all my classes I took. There was just something inside of me that “came alive” desiring to “want to” hear GOD so clearly in my own walk and loving relationship with HIM. I can honestly say that I am applying the above truths and am always looking forward to hearing from GOD!
New Covenant Living (Ministry)…
- Is about love, grace & relationship “with” GOD, but Old covenant (OC) is about law, rules & religion “for” GOD;
- Is about “being” in relationship w/ GOD (covenant), but OC is about “doing” in relationship w/ GOD (contract);
- Is about reconciliation & relationship, but OC is about condemnation & judgment;
- Is about “intimacy” w/ GOD, but OC is about receiving “instruction/information” about GOD;
- Is about “relating & understanding”, but OC is about “right & wrong”;
- Is about “freedom”, but OC is about “control & bondage”;
- Is about bringing “life” to people, but OC is about bringing “death” to people.
This class really challenged and changed me. GOD showed me how pharisaic and religious I was…ouch! I came to understand that for majority of my Christian life I have been trying to live for GOD from a perspective of “how to act & what to do”. I thought that if I acted and did everything right, I would be accepted and pleased by other Christians, but most importantly by GOD HIMSELF. I was deceived and was living a lie based upon the Old Covenant way & mindset.
Prophetic…
- GOD talking to & through HIS children (Christians) in order to share with others about HIMSELF, HIS ways & HIS truth.
This was a class I took, which I didn’t know a lot about, but was really intrigued to learn more about.Whenever I heard someone talk about the prophetic, the first thing that would come to my mind is “mystic” or “creepy”. Both of which don’t have anything to do with the prophetic. I personally had the chance to experience this by praying for people and it’s simply listening to GOD as HE shares with/reveals to you about those you are praying for. And as a result, I just share with them what GOD shared/reveal to me. This is not too complicated but rather pretty easy as I learned to practice this.
Understanding Grace…
- Grace is “I love you regardless of what you do”;
- Grace transforms you & law controls;
- Grace conquerors the power of death;
- Grace & law cannot co-exist = adultery;
- Grace empowers you to live in love.
This class about grace really gave me a deeper understanding about GOD’s grace. Grace is something I don’t deserve, but it also empowers me to live fully & to love others unconditionally. And I’m learning to walk in this deeper grace that GOD gives me because for too long I have been living in law & religion.
Awake & Arise and Issues of the Heart…
- In dealing with forgiveness, bitterness & resentment, you must (1) face hurt, (2) understand hurt & (3) choose to forgive those who hurt you;
- You were not born to be right, but to be loved;
- Our hearts matter to GOD and HE wants to heal them more than we do.
In this conference (A&A) and class (IOTH), my heart was pierced as I dealt with bitterness, resentment and forgiveness that I had towards some people in my life. It wasn’t pretty and GOD had to go deep within my heart to get to the root of the cause in order to bring me to the point of healing. But once HE did, it brought freedom and my heart was able to come alive from the healing of the wounds that I was carrying for so long. While at this conference, I prayed asking GOD what my heart looked like and the below picture is what HE showed me.
My time here attending School of Eagles was very beneficial both physically and spiritually. Growing deeper in my understanding & application of Hearing GOD’s Voice, living in the New Covenant way, understanding the Prophetic better, understanding the depths of GOD’s transforming Grace, and allowing GOD to bring personal Healing & wholeness to my heart has been a life-changing 3 months!
My next steps are to return to Phoenix, to resume working at the hospital, to get settled and to continue to walk & live everything I learned out. To all my family & friends who supported me…I thank you with all my heart and love you!
