The Eagle Is Dead

As we went before the Lord last night during prayer, the song "Worthy Is The Lamb" was playing. I began to worship and my heart became heavy for the people of this nation who have heard the words of truth, but have refused to accept them. As I began to cry out for this nation, the Lord showed me a vision of something that I dreamed previously:

Vision/Dream:
I walked outside and found myself in a backyard that was full of grass and trees throughout. As I walked through the yard toward an exact location I noticed a large caterpillar staring at me from the shade of a tree. This caterpillar was black in color and was very large (and continued to grow). I was not concerned for myself, but knew that this creature was waiting to shed its disguise and show its true colors.

After noting this abnormal sized caterpillar, I continued to walk toward the location I had planned. Shortly after, I found myself standing in front of an eagle who's wing was damaged (preventing it from flying) and looked very malnourished. As I prayed about what to say to this eagle,the eagle hobbled around until its face was turned in the completely opposite direction from where I was standing. After praying, I reached high up into a tree and grabbed a white plate with a piece of meat from where the tree forked. Knowing that this was prepared specifically for the eagle, I bent down in front of the bird, and set the plate on a tree stump that was cut to the perfect height for this eagle to eat from. Then, sadly, the eagle looked at me with a desperate stare and spoke saying, "I will find my own food." After sadness filled my heart, I walked away with my head down, praying for mercy, and headed back toward the house.

When I walked back inside, some of my brothers and sisters were there and wanted to know what it was that I saw. I explained every detail to them and, although they were not stunned at what they heard, they too were saddened. Shortly after I finished explaining what I had seen, my father-in-law looked up at me and said, "The eagle is dead."

For those who wonder why every time you come before the Lord to pray for this nation, you leave unsatisfied, here is the answer. The Lord has been speaking to the people of this nation out of the mouths of His servants, His prophets, pleading with them to repent for the sin that they have committed. Yet, we still choose not to turn from our wickedness. Even though the Lord offered this nation strong meat we have refused. And though the enemy (caterpillar) waits in the shadows to do us harm, instead we trust in our own strength and reply "I will find my own food." Man cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

Although our days as a nation are numbered, there is still time for those who have heard the word of God to come out and be separate unto Him. I share this vision with you today to confirm what many of God's servants have said before, 'Judgment comes but who will pray that they are found worthy to escape the wrath to come?'

God be with us in these times and cause those whose hearts are toward Him to quickly run to the place of refuge, where the Spirit of God dwells and where there is a peace that passes understanding.

Love in Him,
Ryan
