I Am A Eagle Saint

Intro: 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.

In my studies on this week I thought about how so many of us has moved without the consent of God or without waiting on the Lord, and the reason that so many of us have ran into so many difficulties, so many calamities, so many hard ache and so much trouble is because we have not learn how too wait on the Lord. It has been said so many times down through the years that patience is a virtue, and scripture backs it up so many times.

When Paul was giving his example in 2ndTimothy 3:10 he says to us but thou hast fully known my doctrine which are the manners of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity and then he says patience.

Hebrews 10:36 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

James 1:4 but let patience have her perfect work, Romans 12 and 12 says that we need to have patience in tribulation and even David said I waited patiently on the Lord. I even remember the song writer says if Job waited on the Lord why can’t I?

Who was Isaiah talking to when he said but they? 1st of all he was talking to those that was now supposed to be in captivity in Babylon. But that’s not all that he was talking to, he was talking to those who call themselves believers, he was talking to those who call themselves saved and those who call themselves sanctified, the holy rollers, the intercessor, the wailers and the mourners. [Pause]

He said but they that waited on the Lord, that good enough to preach all by itself, learning to just waiting on the Lord, because just waiting on the Lord has its benefits. He said but they that wait on the Lord their strength shall be renewed. I can hear someone saying in their spirit, if I would have just waited on the Lord in some of my decisions I would be much better off. Have you ever felt that way?

Some of you can tell the differences from when you waited on the Lord oppose to you moving on your own, or listening to somebody else. Isaiah but they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.

The Hebrew for strength here is (ko-ahk). Which means they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, this means that:

1. they shall renew their power,

2. they shall renew their might,

3. they shall renew their force,

4. their ability,

5. their faith

6. their fruits,

7. their substance,

8. their wealth thy shall renew they strength.

And one way that we can obtain some of these attributes are by becoming eagle saints. [Pause]

Pastor, out of all of the birds that you could have picked, why did you pick an eagle? It’s a simple deduction. Because, an eagle is not just any ordinary kind of bird, he extraordinary. He’s not like the owl: one that has a big head, we all know some people like that, not that their head is big but they just got the big head, and all they do all day long is ask WHO, WHO, WHO. Who said this, who did that, who is on the telephone, who is going to the mall. An eagle is not like the owl.

Nor is He not like the mocking bird all he does is sit around repeating everything that he hears. One that can’t hold water, child did you hear this was going on, or did you hear what they have done now.

An eagle is not like the ostrich bird, anytime that he fears that trouble is coming his way they runs and sticks his head in the sand and hide. The Ostrich is so unintelligence that he doesn’t even know that while he hiding his head, that his backside is sticking out. He’s not like any other bird.

The eagle has a strange behavior, the eagle set their territory or their living area up near water, and if you know anything about water you will know that it is symbolic to the Holy Spirit. Water also is where we draw some our life supply from. In other words he doesn’t live around anything that doesn’t bring him life, and I need to tell somebody if you are in a dry place, then you need to find a place that will feed you spiritually, naturally, physically, and financially, there are people that is looking to be fed.
