As I have stated in my article, “God is the Potter, We are the Clay,” whenever God gives you a specific analogy in the Bible, what He wants you to do is to seek into what the analogy is all about so you can fully understand what He is trying to convey to you.
In the verse that God is the potter and we are the clay, what you have to do is find out exactly how pottery is made before you can see the correlation between how the potter forms and molds out the clay into the piece of pottery he is looking to make, and how God wants to mold, shape, and transform us in this life as we continue to grow in His knowledge, grace, and power.
The Eagle Analogy And Our Christian Walk
Another very powerful analogy that the Lord has hidden back in His Word in the Old Testament is what I call the eagle analogy. Here is the verse where this specific analogy is being given to us by the Lord:
“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
The two key words in this verse are that we will mount up with wings “like eagles.” The Original King James Version uses the words “as eagles.”
I believe God is trying to tell us something when He compares all of us to eagles in this particular verse. I remember when I first saw this verse years ago, it really jumped off the page at me.
Several years ago, I did a study of eagles and their personality traits to see if there were any personality traits that were inherent in the eagle that God wanted us to have with Him.
After finding out exactly what personality traits eagles do have, I came to the conclusion that God was definitely trying to convey some additional knowledge to all of us as to what additional qualities He would like all of us to have worked into our personalities.
The other thing I noticed, starting about 10-15 years ago, is that there were a lot of eagle pictures and eagle statues in many of the Christian bookstores, with all of them coming off the above verse.
Again, I believe God is trying to draw all of us into this specific verse so we can find out exactly what He is trying to tell us with the revelation that is contained in it.
I believe this analogy to be an extremely powerful and profound analogy, and that it fully applies to each and every Christian.
I will list, one by one, the main qualities and traits of the eagle, along with giving you the basic gist of what this analogy is all about.
1. The Basic Gist of The Eagle Analogy
The first thing you need to know about eagles so you can fully understand what the basic gist of this analogy is all about is exactly how they are able to fly, with most of it being on how they are able to soar without actually flapping their wings.
I am sure most of you have seen videos and documentaries of eagles being caught on video soaring high up in the sky without actually flapping their wings.
Their wings are spread straight out and they are literally soaring with perfect ease on the wind currents.
Eagles are born with big and heavy wings, and part of the survival mechanism they are born with is that they have to learn how to fly without actually flapping their big wings.
They have to learn how to do this in order to conserve energy. Eagles can literally die if they expend too much energy flapping their wings during flight as versus soaring without flapping their wings.
As a result, what eagles have to learn to do very early on in order to be able to soar without flapping their wings, is to wait for what are called wind thermals to come up on them. A wind thermal is a big gust of wind that will rise up from the atmosphere.
Sometimes eagles will remain perched for days before they can catch a good, strong, wind thermal, where they can then launch onto it and combine a mixture of flying and soaring on that strong wind thermal to get them to where they want to go.
Now here is the basic gist of this whole analogy. Lock this into your memory banks, as God is giving us a very powerful analogy on how eagles basically fly and soar on these wind thermals.
- We are the eagle
- The wings of the eagles represent our faith and belief in God
- The wind thermals the eagles fly on represent the Holy Spirit
Another very powerful verse to add to this analogy is the following:
“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord. (Zechariah 4:6)
What God is trying to tell us in this verse is that all things will get fully accomplished for Him in this life by the power of the Holy Spirit operating through us, not by our own power or by our own might.
Just like the eagle has to learn how to fly on the wind thermals – we, as born-again, Spirit-filled Christians, have to learn how to fly on the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
In other words, we have to learn how to walk and fly with the anointing of God.
The anointing of God is the power of the Holy Spirit flowing and operating through us to accomplish what God wants us to do for Him in this life.
It is God’s power flowing and operating through us, not our own power. Our power is weak and limited, but God’s power is pure and absolute.
We have to learn two basic things if we want to successfully complete all of the divine missions that God has in store for us in this life:
- How to be led by the Holy Spirit
- And how to walk with His anointing operating through us so we can fully accomplish all of our divine destiny for the Lord
If you do not learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit in your daily life, then you will never find out exactly what God is going to call you to do for Him in this life.
You will never find out who your true soulmate is going to be in this life, and you will never fulfill the divine destiny to which God has called you.
Just like the eagle has to learn how to catch the wind thermal in order to survive in this world, we have to learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit on a daily basis so we can fully accomplish everything God that will want us to accomplish for Him in this life.
And just like the eagle has to learn how to ride and navigate on those wind thermals once they actually launch onto them, we have to learn how to walk with the power of the Holy Spirit operating through us so we can fully accomplish the tasks and assignments that God will be calling us to do for Him in this life.
If we learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit so we can get to where God will want to take us to – but we do not learn how to actually walk and flow with His actual power, then we will never succeed at the specific tasks that He will be calling us to do for Him.
If God calls someone to be a great evangelist and then leads him to the exact spots where He will want him to work at, but that person does not learn how to flow and walk with God’s anointing on him, then he will have minimal success at best in that specific calling.
Again, not by our might or by our power, but by the power of the Holy Spirit operating through us is how we will produce good fruit for the Lord in this life.
The third thing we must catch on this analogy besides the fact that we are the eagle and the wind thermals represents the Holy Spirit, is what the wings of the eagle represent
The wings of the eagle represent our faith and belief in in the Lord.
Bottom line – if we do not have enough faith and belief in God to take flight on the Holy Spirit in order to be led and empowered by Him for service to the Lord, then nothing will ever happen.
We will forever stay perched, and we will never fulfill the divine destiny that God has already planned out for our lives before we were even born into our mother’s womb.
The eagle has to take that big leap off the edge of the cliff in order to be able to fly and soar on those wind thermals.
If the eagle does not take flight on those wind thermals when they do come up on him, he will forever stay perched and he will die on the cliff due to starvation.
In the same way, if we do not take flight on the Holy Spirit and the divine call that God has placed on our lives, our lives will perish right before our very eyes, as the Bible tells us that God’s people will perish without having His specific vision for their lives.
Sooner or later, every single Christian will have to make that big choice for their lives. Who will they decide to serve and follow in this life?
Do they follow and serve their own self and their own self-interests, doing what they want to do with their lives. Or do they decide to fully surrender every part of their life over to the Lord and go with His divine plan for their lives rather than their own.
If you decide to follow and serve the Lord in his life, then sooner or later God will call you and you will then have to take that big leap off the edge of the cliff in order to learn how to fly into the calling that He has placed on your life.
And just as the wings of the eagle are the only thing that will allow them to fly and soar on those wind thermals, in the same way the only thing that will allow you to fly on the call that God has placed on your life is your faith and belief in the Lord.
If you do not have enough faith, belief, and confidence in the Lord and His Holy Spirit to guide you and empower you for this call, then nothing will ever happen.
I wonder how many Christians have missed out on their true callings from the Lord because they did not have enough faith and belief in Him to take flight on the Holy Spirit like the eagles have learned how to do on those wind thermals?
2. Eagles Are Master Fliers
As a result of being able to learn how to fly on those strong wind thermals, eagles are considered master fliers. They can fly to heights that no other bird can. They have been seen flying as high as some of our airplanes fly.
If eagles have to be careful not to expend too much energy in flapping their wings because of their size and weight, then how can they fly as high as some our modern day airplanes? The answer is in their ability and skill to ride and fly on these strong wind thermals.
This is why you see eagles literally soaring at times on these wind thermals, with their wings being spread straight out and no flapping being done.
In the same way, we as Christians can learn how to be master fliers by learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit on a daily basis.
Just like eagles depend on these strong wind thermals to take them to heights that no other bird can fly to – in the same way we can be taken to heights that we may have never dreamed possible if we will just learn how to be led be the Holy Spirit on a daily basis.
Just think how much more good fruit we could produce, and how much more we could accomplish for the Lord in this lifetime if we could all learn how to be really led by the Holy Spirit on a daily basis, and how to really walk with His power and anointing flowing through us.
Again, this is something that can be learned if you are open and willing to be taught by the Lord on how to do this on a daily basis.
It is the job of the Holy Spirit Himself to teach you how to be personally led and empowered by Him so you can fully accomplish everything that the Lord has set out for you to do for Him in this life.
3. Eagles Are Master Fisherman
Eagles are also considered master fisherman. They are very good in locking in on their prey and then swooping down to catch them.
How many times have you seen videos where an eagle will swoop down on a body of water and pick up a fish swimming near the surface with perfect ease and accuracy, and catching them on the very first attempt. They are absolute masters at hunting down and catching their prey, whether that prey be on land or in the water.
Just as eagles are considered to be master fisherman with how they can catch fish in water – we, as Christians, have been called by the Lord to be “fishers of men,” just like Jesus and the apostles were at the very beginning of the New Testament.
Our number one job in this life is to try and get as many people saved as we possibly can.
Personal evangelism within our own circle of influence is something that each and every Christian can do for the Lord, and it is something that we should always keep our radars up for – as you never know when the Holy Spirit will move on you to lead you to someone He will want you to witness to, whether it be someone you might know or a complete total stranger.
4. Eagles Fly Alone
Though eagles will mate for life, for the most part you will always see them flying alone in the skies.
As Christians, we are all part of the body of Christ, where the little finger is just as important as the big toe.
However, the Bible also tells us that many are called but few are chosen. I believe this verse is referring to our calls in the Lord, not to our personal salvation in Him.
What this verse is telling us is that many of the people God is calling are not being chosen for various reasons.
What this means is that at times you may feel totally alone, depending on the type of calling that God has placed on your life and exactly where you are at in the development of that calling.
David was alone when he took on Goliath. No one else would step on the battlefield with him when he took on that evil blasphemous giant.
Peter was alone when he stepped out of the boat to walk on water, as the Bible says that the rest of the apostles were too scared to try and do it on their own. Moses was all by himself for 40 years in the backside of the desert before God called him out to deliver the Israelites from Egypt.
David was hiding out in caves from Saul for quite a number of years before he was finally called out to become the greatest king of Israel.
At times, you may feel totally isolated and alone at the spot where God may have you at.
When you are in these kinds of dry times and seasons with the Lord, just keep pressing forward and flying alone like the eagle does – and sooner or later God will bring you forth into the heart of your call where everyone will then see you and work with you on the call that God has placed on your life.
5. Eagles Live on Higher Ground
For the most part, eagles will always be found living on some type of higher ground. As Christians, we are already living on higher ground as compared to the rest of the world as a result of who we are in Christ.
We are now born-again children of the Most High God. We are now kings and priests of the Lord. We now have the Holy Spirit, along His power and knowledge residing on the inside of us to help lead us, sanctify us, and empower us so we can all be used by the Lord in a mighty way for ministry.
This is why the Lord is calling all of us to stay in the world, but not to be an actual part of the world.
In other words, we are to be in the world, but not of the world. We are to keep ourselves separate from the corruption, pollution, vices, and sins of this world so God can keep us on His straight and narrow road for the rest of our earthly lives.
We live on this higher ground as a result of our position in Jesus. And we always need to keep reminding ourselves that we are living on this higher ground, as the world will always do everything it can to try and drag us down into their lower way of living.
6. Eagles Are Extremely Bold, Courageous, and Powerful
Another very powerful trait of the eagle is that they are very bold, courageous, and powerful. Eagles have literally been seen engaging with poisonous snakes and tearing their heads off with their beak.
They have been seen going right through major storm clouds, where most birds will fly away and hide in safety until the storm has passed.
As we have stated numerous times in some of the articles in our spiritual warfare section, God is calling all of us to become good and mighty soldiers of Jesus Christ.
He is asking all of us to put on His armor and to engage with demons and to cast them out of people when necessary.
Just like the eagle has no fear of any man, beast, or snake – in the same way we should have no fear of any demonic spirit or any evil human being since we all have God Himself totally on our side.
The Bible tells us that greater is He that is in us than he who is in the world. David perfectly proved that point when he took out Goliath with one perfectly, well-placed blow.
In the Spiritual Warfare Section of our site, we have an article titled, “Battle Verses of the Bible.”
In this article are 100 of the very best battle verses in the Bible. These major battle verses will show you that God the Father does have a war side to His personality, and that He will not hesitate to go into battle to protect you and your close loved ones if you have been walking close with Him over the years.
Bottom line – take your cue from the eagle.
Just like the eagle is the most powerful and feared bird in the sky – in the same way God the Father can personally raise you up to be a mighty and courageous soldier for Him so you can do great and mighty exploits in the calling that He has personally placed on your life.
7. Eagles Are Considered Majestic
Due to the way eagles look and act, many people consider them almost majestic and invincible. They seem to have a look of royalty about them.
In the same way, we, as Christians, have this same air of royalty about us since we are now considered kings and priests of the Lord due to the sacrifice that Jesus has personally made for all of us with His death on the cross.
This majestic royalty that we now have operating through us all comes direct from Jesus. It does not come directly from us, or any of the good works that we may have done to-date for the Lord. It all comes to us as a direct result of Jesus dying on the cross for all of our sins.
Only the blood that Jesus has personally shed for each one of us on the cross is what makes us kings and priests before Him, lest we all get puffed up with our own pride and arrogance, thinking this was all of our own doing and making.
8. Eagles Are Faithful For Life
Once eagles mate with their partners, they will stay true and loyal to that other eagle for life. In the same way, once God leads us to the mate that He will want us to marry in this life, He will expect us to stay true, loyal, and faithful to that mate literally to the day we die.
In this day and age, where 50% of all marriages are still failing and ending up in divorce, this is a tall order for many to stay faithful to their spouses.
We have another article in our site titled, “The Sin of Adultery” in the Current Issues section of our site.
In this article are some very heavy verses, all showing how much God hates adultery and what the ramifications may be for some of those who do not pull out of this serious sin within a reasonable length of time.
God expects all of us to honor our vows and commitments made at the wedding altar. God takes marriage and the vows that come with it very, very seriously, and it is nothing to be trifled with or taken for granted once you hit a few minor speed bumps in the marriage.
The Holy Spirit is the Helper and Counselor, and He can help heal any hurts or misgivings that may have occurred in the marriage if you will just learn how to open yourself up to Him and allow Him to work in whatever state your marriage may be in.
9. Eagles Are Very Patient
Another very interesting quality that eagles have is that they are very patient. Documentary film crews have filmed eagles spotting rabbits they will target as prey.
Once the rabbit senses the danger, he will then go hiding in a hole, sometimes for as long as an hour or two before he finally comes back out.
The eagle will then wait for that hour or two until the rabbit finally comes back out again. And once he does, the eagle will then swoop down and catch him within seconds. As a result of his patience, the eagle will then be rewarded with a big fat meal.
In the same way, we all need the patience of the eagle, especially in the type of world we now live in with everything being done at breakneck speed and people’s fuses being shortened as a result of all of the high stress that we are forced to live under.
This is why one of the 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit is the fruit of patience, as we all need His patience operating through us so we can weather the storm clouds of this turbulent life.
10. The Eagle Has 2 Sets of Eyes
Another very fascinating quality that eagles have is that they have two sets of eyes. The first set is their natural eye which they have when they are in a resting mode.
However, when they start to take flight on these strong wind thermals, they have a second eye that comes in on them. This second eye then enables them to fly on these strong wind thermals without damaging their original eye.
This second eye is also used when they are seen flying through actual storm clouds. The heavy winds from a storm cloud could easily damage their normal natural eye, and this second eye gives them a protective covering as they are navigating through these heavy storm clouds.
As Christians, we also have two sets of eyes operating in us. The first set is our normal natural eye which we use to see the natural world in which we live in. However, we also have a second set of eyes and that is the eyes of the Holy Spirit.
Since we all have the Holy Spirit living on the inside of us, we also have His eyes available to us at times to see things from His perspective.
As you start to draw closer to the Lord in your own personal relationship with Him, there will be times that He will allow you to “see” things as He sees them. You will start “seeing” what certain Scripture verses may mean. You will start to “see” what the real truth is in many of the matters of your own personal life.
When this starts to occur, this is the Holy Spirit Himself allowing you to see things through His eyes, not your eye. This is highly supernatural event when it starts to occur.
It is God Himself literally allowing you to see things from His point of view and perspective.
The Bible says that the truth will set you free. But you first have to see what that truth is before it can start to set you free.
This is why we all need the eyes of the Holy Spirit operating in us, so we can start to see what the real truth is on many of the different matters and issues in our own personal lives.
Just like the eagle needs his two sets of eyes in order to be able to live and survive in this world, in the same way we need both our natural eyes and the eyes of the Holy Spirit operating in us so we can properly work and function for the Lord in this life.
11. The Nests of Eagles Are Built in the Wilderness
When baby eagles are first born, the mother eagle will build the nest in which to raise up her newborns in the wilderness, away from mainstream society. This is done so she can safely raise them up without any type of harm coming to them.
In the same way, the Lord will sometimes build up His eagles in a wilderness type setting. Again, Moses was in the backside of the desert for 40 years before God called him out to complete the greatest deliverance mission of all time.
David was in the caves of the wilderness for a number of years, possibly for 13-15 years, before he was called out by God to become the greatest king that Israel has ever had.
Some of you who are reading this right now may be in your wilderness setting with the Lord, where He is slowly raising you up in your calling for Him.
It is sometimes in these wilderness type settings that your greatest strides in spiritual growth are actually made in Him.
12. Eagles Have Contrasting Color Patterns – Noticeable From a Distance
Many of the creatures God has created have color patterns that blend in with their natural surroundings so as to protect them from other predators.
However, not so with the eagle. The American bald eagle has dark brown skin with a white colored head. As a result of this contrasting color pattern, they can easily be seen from quite a distance.
I know this may be stretching this analogy a bit, but I believe that the dark skin of the eagle lines up with our flesh colored skins, and the white color on the head and face of the eagle line up with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit living in us. In other words, it is symbolic of the anointing that we have operating in us through the Holy Spirit.
People who walk with a very strong anointing from the Lord are very noticeable from a distance. You can “see” the anointing of God all over them. You can “see” the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit in the form of a transparent glow radiating out of their faces.
These people have developed very strong personal relationships with the Lord over a number of years and they are walking very close with Him in working out their own personal calls for Him in this life.
Just like the eagle stands out in his environment as a result of his might, prowess, and contrasting color pattern in the animal kingdom – in the same way, highly anointed Christians also stand out in their surroundings due to the presence and power of God Almighty Himself radiating out of them.
Jesus Himself has told us in His Word that He is our light, and that once we have His light shining through us, that we are not to try and hide it underneath the table.
We are to let His light shine through us so we can reach the rest of the world with His message of eternal salvation.
Conclusion
Once you isolate all of the main qualities of the eagle, I do not think it is a coincidence that they all perfectly line up with what God would like to have worked into each one of us. I believe when God says in the above verse from Isaiah that we will mount up with wings like eagles, He is meaning exactly what He is saying in this verse.
Once again, here are the main attributes and qualities of the mighty eagle, the most powerful and feared bird in the skies:
- Master fliers
- Master fishermen
- Fly alone
- Live on higher ground
- Extremely bold, courageous, and powerful
- Majestic
- Mate for life
- Very patient
- Have two sets of eyes
- Nest are built in the wilderness
- Noticeable from a distance as a result of contrasting color patterns
I believe the Lord is in the process of raising up an army of mighty eagles. I believe we are living in the last days as prophesied in the Bible, and God will be launching this army of eagles onto the earth in an effort to get as many people saved and on that rapture train as He possibly can before the end finally comes.
Some of you who are reading this article right now might be one these eagles being raised up by the Lord.
If you are, study this eagle analogy very carefully, as I believe the Lord is giving all of us a very powerful and profound analogy.
Thank you for this analogy. I was very blessed by it this morning and it is an answer to prayer. This was good enough that I think I will share it with my bible study class Sunday.
Thanks again.
I believe that the Lord is speaking to me. He keeps showing me the Lion and how the Lion is right besides me by my bed and then he showed me a eagle and at the same time i was flying with the eagle.
What does that mean Jesus.
The head represents the mind, God meets us in our consciousness in which he speaks to us through the holy spirit, the fact that you mention the lion head, lion is often symbolic of Christ could mean that Christ is always there with and in you and when you allow Him to fully encompass your being your will soar into your calling like the mighty eagle or disciple that He has ordained for you to become. Be blessed lovie you are chosen (you’re probably in your 40s, it has been prophesized that His remnant will be in this age range)
An illuminating and thought-provoking article. The effort is commendable. More grease to your elbow.
Very inspiring article. I am blessed.
Excellent article and I feel is spot on. I appreciate the effort and research done to complete this work. It has truly inspired me and I must share this with my Christian sisters in our bible study. I would just suggest 1 thing. Could you please put a date to your writing so I know if this is current. I say this because you said you believe that we are in the end times, as do I. So I’m curious when this was written, 5 yrs ago or 1 month ago, just as a mental time frame. Thanks!
Hi Janet, I want to say Michael wrote this about 10 years ago but really fine tuned it around 2005, and that is going off my own memory but I do believe this was one of the earlier articles we posted. I am glad you enjoyed it.
You got it all, that is what we are created to do.
I am glad I found this, I had a dream and in my dream was a Super gigantic Eagle. I was outside running to my house, when I went inside, the house was empty and clean….as I started to head toward the hallway, I heard a loud voice say “come on Shelley”. I looked behind me and didn’t see anyone, so I walked back toward the living room and again the voice said “come on Shelley”. And so I opened the front door and behold there was the biggest eagle I ever saw….. It looked at me and said “let’s go, it’s time”. I climbed on him and as I was settling myself by his neck, I started to fall asleep. Somehow as I sat down around his neck I felt snugged and so very serene….. I am not sure if he took off with me on Him, cause I fell asleep on him.
I was moved by this dream, and once I told my pastor this dream, he suggested I start studying about eagles. That is how I found your article. I am glad I did. Still not to sure what my dream was all about, but I can wait for God to reveal it to me.
Thanks!!!
Shelley
Um…. I hate to burst your bubble, but it is apparent that you know very little about Eagles, wind currents, or flying in general. An eagle is perfectly capable of launching itself into the air anytime it wants to by flapping those big powerful wings, just like any other flying bird on the planet. Thermals are great for soaring, and I’ve soared with many a hawk myself while flying sailplanes. But you can’t really catch a thermal close to the ground as they are broken up by trees, hills, buildings, etc. you have to FLY several hundred feet into the air before you can start to soar.
@Delilah, Could there have perhaps been a more delicate way to convey your message than to say, “…it is apparent that you know very little…”?
The message / lesson is very beautiful, encouraging & “uplifting”. I do hope that you can see that. <3
God gave me Isaiah 40:31 about 10 years ago. I hung onto that verse and have seen many eagles in my neighborhood the last couple years and usually when needing God to show himself to me. God has moved me into a no I know nothing about but He has told me that He goes before me, so I tell him to meet me there and he does. His promises are true, he WILL be where he calls us. Yesterday I was walking my dog in the park and the sky was blue and it was bitter cold and looking up I said now would be a good time to see an eagle, well at the end of my walk while thinking of my parents whom are with the Lord, I heard “your mom and dad are proud of you” then came my eagle overhead. God himself. I have been searching for meanings and the end of your post hit head on. God is building His army, I’ve said this many times…..thanks
Great insight. This indeed is rich enough to make one an eagle christian. I was doing a study on “the eagle christian ” when I jumped on this beautiful material. Bravo!
Thank you for the powerful information on the qualities of an Eagle and they relate to our walk with God. This information was very informative and I really enjoyed reading it. Again, thanks.
I searched for something like this to help me understand an experience I had last night – Easter Sunday. I know this is an old thread (last post Feb 2015 though) and want to share my experience.
While sitting at my kitchen table last night I heard a soft ‘bang’ on the window and went outside because I thought someone had tapped for attention. When I got outside I was met with the incredible sight of an eagle, which had clearly been slightly stunned by flying against the window. It was on the ground and my 2 cats were circling it, curious. I tried shooing them away in order to protect it and it immediately rose from the ground – and I swear, looked straight at me. It was almost like in slow-motion and only a few feet away from me.
It gently flapped away – quite low, to the bushes outside my garden and then eventually took off.
I found this most disconcerting – as I have always been scared of large birds of prey. In the early hours this morning, I had a dream where God was speaking quietly to me about the eagle. I am still trying to work-out exactly what it all means – but thank you for your detailed article, which may help me do just that!
Quite an informative analogy. The reason why i was searching on eagles is because after a period of fasting and praying i saw 2 eagles in a dream. I’d been praying on seeking the face of the Lord and walking in His anointing when i had this dream.
What is striking is before i went to sleep, the Lord had said to me in my prayer to take note of what i was going to dream about.
After reading this article, it now makes sense. I must admit, i’d never learnt that eagles were so close to God’s heart. I believe i’m one of these eagles the Lord is raising. Lets march into the battlefield soldiers of Christ. Amen
Amazing!!!
I was thinking of a topic to share in our bible study group for quite sometime now, and just have a random thought of an eagle yesterday while going home from church. With that, I started to search bible+eagle in the internet. 🙂
Thank you for writing this inspiring article. God Bless!
Wow!
Thank you for this informative and very encouraging post. For some reason, I was compelled to research on the eagle yesterday. Your post is by far the richest in analogy in my current Christian walk.
What a word! What an article!!May the LORD keep blessing you and make you a blessing the more to this generation•It was indepth and refreshes. Thanks for this piece
Wow… This is more marvelous than what to explain… God have really touch my life through this your article. God told me that my youth has been restored, I started looking into the eagle aspect of the Isaiah passage. As I read on I could not only identify but I became more and more amazed to the point that my jaw dropped. Some of the sentences were exactly what Jesus had told me in one of our conversations. He has already done 1 supernatural eye surgery — not for healing but seeing in the supernatural — and is working on the other eye with 1 or 2 more treatments to come.
it is a inspiration story in my life that I have never had, thank you for it has help n shape my life that as a Christian I should b patient, n allow lord to control my life coz wthout him am useless.
Isaiah 40:31 has always been one of my favourite verses. Then a few months back I was off sick and really feeling sorry for myself and happened to look up out of my window and saw an eagle sitting on a tree in our yard. Just knew it was a message from God as we wouldn’t normally get eagles in our area. Then today saw a pair flying over so thought I would look up what else the bible says about eagles. Having 2 sets of eyes really spoke to me. I have had 2 eye infections this year so really feel like God is speak to me to look at things differently. To see things as he sees things.
Thank you so much for such an awesome article.
Adorable Articles. Thanks God for reveling me about the eagle. I thought i’t was only a bird but after reading all those articles, i realized it is a very good teacher of my christian life.
i’m very very encouraged in my life today, i wanted to quite my calling because of winds and clouds in my spiritual life, i didn’t understand the reason of it, but for real i love Jesus and i decided to serve him all my life. Sometimes i find myself alone, sometimes the winds blowing on my side,sometimes discouraged with situations, but God is good for me.
I promise to follow the characteristics of an eagle in my spiritual life and in my paths.
thanks and may God bless you.
Whao am bless. I was thought in my church today about the attributes of eagle.but i was not satisfy i decided to know more, but u were able to explained better to me.may God endow you with more wisdom and knowledge.
This is an absolute inspiration from the Holy spirit, I was really blessed by it…. You inspired me greatly. I truly thank God almighty for this reasearch and how God used you to match these attributes of the eagle with our glorious Christian life.
God will inspire you higher and u will continue to be a blessing in Jesus name
Thank you very much, you are truly blessed. I had a vision of an eagle taking me up and not flapping its wings, yet still we were soaring and flying high. The only time I saw the wings open is when it landed to pick me up. I went to church today and this was the alter call to live a life led by the holy spirit and to walk him and depend on him daily. It definetly ties in with this article. Trials and tribulations will come but we are to depend on the holy spirit and we will soar like an eagle. The atricle is very through and covers all aspects of my life. Wow!!
I’m so bles with this article , I’m dealing God and I have a dream of an eagle , also when I’m weirs hoping the lord I saw eagle that’s the reason I found this . Iam praying for you and God bless you for your wisdom
I am giving God thank for knowledge that he has given on to you so that you can share with others God bless and thank for the web site the Bible said that iron sharpen iron Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ

I though I was deing from all the problems I was facing!now I understand that is was God dealing with my character to be His eagle in this last age.may God richly bless you for this knowledge.thank you(Merriam)
Thank you very much for this awesome article which is so profound and informative. I searched for spiritual meaning of an eagle because God has been talking to me about” vision” for weeks now. I listened carefully and he took me to the vision of my church which says “Dont limit God, fly as high an eagle, God is on your side” . As I deligently set my mind and heart to really seeking the face of God concerning this I realised that my eyesight is restored as it was giving me trouble. I was developing a cataract but God restored it perfectly well as I meditated on the strong vision that the eagle has. I kept declaring that I have an eagle’s emmetropic vision and boom restoration came. Thank God for your insight.
Hi.
I had a dream more then a decade ago and like quite a few of my dreams they really are meaningful to me!
Anywho…
I was following this big beautiful looking as well as powerful eagle even in its presence it was just awesome….
Anyway….I was following this eagle and it was going through brick walls, getting caught in traps and stumbling as it was flying and because I was a little distance behind I got to avoid those traps and walls myself.
That eagle would have its feathers ruffled and get knocked around a bit but it came back just as strong and powerful as when it didn’t have anything in its way!
To me God was showing me how He goes b4 us and has taken the fall and punishment for us so that we are able to fly and soar above it all.
I could not if handled all that the eagle was doing for me….
God is so good.
Thanks God xx
This is a very interesting Teaching, I have learned a lot and still want to read through again, am inspired I want to live a life like that of an Eagle even as a Christian in Jesus’ name
Wow.
GOD is simply amazing in revealing things.
A very strong Articles. Thanks be to God for reveling me about the eagle. I thought i’t was only a bird but after reading all those articles, i realized it is a very good teacher and an example of my christian life.
I am very very encouraged in my life today, I wanted to quite my calling because of winds and clouds in my spiritual life, I didn’t understand the reason for it, but for real I love Jesus and I have decided to serve him all my life. Sometimes I find myself alone, sometimes the winds blowing against me on all sides, and sometimes I am discouraged with situations, but I Know God is good for me.
I promise to follow the characteristics of an eagle in my spiritual life and in my paths.
Thanks for this message and may God bless you.
Simply beautiful. I am so drawn to the eagle, and the fact that it’s mentioned so often is how i ended up seeing this article. I love your analogies. God bless you. You have blessed me.
This message was used by the Lord as an instrument for me when I was on my lowest point. My 2016 Theme was Isaiah 40:31 and I thought it was only about to soar high in our company’s target but then when I happened to read this and I don’t remember how I got it, it gave me so much inspiration and courage and there I understood the whole meaning of it why I had the eagle as my Theme. We overcame every obstacles this year by faith just like the traits of an eagle, all by God’s grace, mercy and love.
I had a dream that me and someone I know had copper rings on our fingers as the lord raised our hands. Me and that other person both turned into eagles and soared high above the ground. I’ve been going crazy trying to figure it out, maybe this is what it meant. Coming across this article isn’t a coincidence, not with all the things I’ve been seeing lately.
Thank you. God Bless
Thanks for this wonderful analogy. It is exactly what I needed for my Bible teaching to a women group.
God works in mysterious ways! It is no accident that I came across this article at 2:00 am when I have been trying to get into bed all night so I can get up early in the morning. After reading this article about the eagle, I have been compelled to answer the call that I have been avoiding for years. Thank you Michael and Chris for allowing God to use you mightily. You have no idea the number of people that you are blessing!
Yours in Christ,
DBW
Thank you! I have a friend who had a loss of life in her family.
How can the story of the eagle direct her in her loss to continue on in her life?
hi there ,thank you for that. i would like to ask you if you think the scripture about i will call a swift bird of prey to come and do my bidding indicates and implies (bird of prey as an eagle)?
i have often wondered the meaning behind that scripture
the word swift means something done or happening quickly or immediately
a friend of mine has been given this word over there life and we are seeking interpretation and meaning thank you
, I actually know about all those qualities of an eagle. According to how the holy spirit ministered to me, an eagle represents a Prophet.
Hosea 12:13 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
The sharp sight of an eagle denotes the ability of a prophet to see from afar.
Their strength refers to a prophet carrying large burdens of people(read Isaiah, jeremiah etc)
Look at the boldness of prophets when they speak, which denotes their power and authority.
The ‘wing’ feature allows prophets to travel in the spirit realm to any event that is happening or something that will happen in any parts of the world.
The wind thermals are the presence and power of the Holy Spirit operating within and through the prophet under his umbrella(wings) or area of operation.
Prophets have a large capacity to carry anointing, If you are under the ambrella of a prophet its likely that you will receive the strength of God upon him or even the gift of prophecy through impartation, so you will mount up like them(eagles)
However if you possess some of the qualities of an eagle, we can say you are like an eagle but not the eagle itself, because there is a difference btween the gift of prophecy and the office of a prophet. The Apostles could prophesy(gift) yet they were not prophets(office), they were apostles.
If the bible tells you about some things having parts of an eagle; it means that those things have qualities of an eagle (prophet) added to them. You can see Daniel talkin about a lion with wings in his visions.
There are a lot of things, just study prophets n you will see what am talkin about….
What a very inspirational analogy!!!! On Christmas Day, 2016 I took my mother to church and decided, I needed to renew my faith! So, after the service I asked her pastor if we could talk, I thought I was good but wanted to be sure.!!! We talked, and we prayed and I was good. The sermon that day to me wasn’t as much on Christ’s birth but more on freedoms. At least 10-15 actual bible verses had the word free or freedom, sometimes both! Now, it gets great! As my mother and I go out to the parking lot, something caught my eye passing the morning sun!!!! I looked up to the sight of a bald eagle!!! This was easily the closest I have ever been to one of these majestic creatures!!! It turned away and came back by us. It soared by again and made the second and third passes by, and then landed in perfect line of sight to us!!!! What a sign of freedom!! I feel in those three passes, God was telling me, “Here I am, I am here, I will ALWAYS be here!!! This has helped me through the toughest times of my life so far. ” On wings of eagles “!!!!
In a dream from God: I had a paint brush without paint. I was brushing an eagle wing with it. The wing was spread out. Suddenly I was looking down into the eyes of an eagle. I was impressed that God will completely protect me.
From reading the article I’m believing that God is going to teach me how to fly on the Winds of The Holy Spirit. Thank you so much for this anointed teaching.
i say just thanks much, nothing to add or subtract in which whoever have eyes and brain,read this article and understood, God bless
this article has been a blessing to my life i now understand that as a Christian we are meant to be spiritual eagles on earth. the best capacity for us to function on earth is to function in the power of the Holy spirit. i now understand how the life of an eagle relate to us as christian
I am so very humbled by this analogy of the traits of an Eagle compared to that of a Christian. I decided to look up this term “Soaring Eagle” because I was told recently by a visiting Prophet in my previous church during a special ministry event, that God sees me as a “Soaring Eagle.” I had no idea what that meant, and I finally decided to see if there was anything on Google to give me a definition. This is such an AWESOME word and it really falls in line with what I’ve been experiencing and previous Words God has spoken to me over the years. Thank you for posting this article. God bless.
Awesome Study on Eagles. Thank you for your insight. It is inspiring, it is anointed, it is challenging. I will be sharing this with a ladies group in my neighborhood.
I never leave comments but wow! This article really spoke to me as I seem to be literally surrounded by eagles lately…it seems everywhere I look there is a picture or a living breathing one and this was exactly what I needes to make sense of the persistent signs God keeps giving me. This article was extremely well written thank you for this insight
Very good! I had a dream many years ago of an Eagle….the LORD SPOKE with me from a rushing wind! Telling me to believe He was GOD twice. Thank-you
I’ve always been so fascinated with the eagle, thank you for this truth God has revealed in you to share with other eagles. It was very powerful and it helped me to identify with who He called me to be.
Wow wow wow blown away by this article. Thank you Jesus for your amazing words of wisdom through this anointed writer. Thank u Lord, You are so good.
ALL I CAN SAY IS………..POWWWWEEEEERRRRRFFFFFUUUUL!!!!!!! This is a message from God, and I truly thank Him for giving you this revelation. My goodness this is so so so so so POWERFUL. THIS WAS MEAT TO MY SOUL, and I am not playing. I really needed this confirmation. May God continue to bless you and keep you in these last and evil days. BLESSINGS TO ALL!!!
So wonderful. I have been desiring to know more about the eagle and have been greatly helped. Had a revelation recently about a large white eagle that descended from the sky and flew down towards me and some Christian Brothers and it entered the ground and the sky changed and became brighter and I heard in my spirit, go and warn them. Two of the brothers were preaching to us telling the Lord is coming soon and this eagle part took place and the instruction given me to warn them.
The theme for this year in my church is based on this verse of the bible. I had been propelled to know more about the eagle and it’s relevance to our Christian walk and this study was just apt!. I am sharing this . It’s such a powerful powerful study. God bless you sir.
I want to say thank you for posting this article. It has helped me in so many ways! My grandmother had a dream about me from the Lord when I was 9 years old about an eagle. I have been trying to determine the meaning and the message behind it. I truly believe that your article has given it more meaning and will help me to grow in my relationship with the Lord. Thank you again, Courtney
I woke up from a dream, that a giant eagle was on my house. Standing very still and watchful of me. It was so big all I could see were it’s legs, face and beak as it had its head inclined to me. But there was a storm happening in the sky and the eagle was partially hidden from it. My family and I were making music in the yard and talking about Jesus. And every time I would look up, the eagle was looking at me.
Thank you Lord for this article, for inspiring this person to do your work.
Traits of the Eagle article is inspirational and has given me the inner motivation as a child of God. To walk with Him and how I should guard my life. Issues of faith and belief and free flow on the Holy Spirit is critical to live a victorious Christian life.
Thank you.
I love this article,the timing of it is amazing for me. I had a dream last night of many eagels flying over me. I laid down on the ground to watch them all. I love eagels!! my real life I have had many experiences and I feel that it is a gift from our God. I have a tattoo of Isalah 40:31. There is definitely a reason behind why I got that tattoo. I have a very strong faith and put all my trust on our Lord. I could keep going with everything I have to say but another time. I just know that we our the light and we all need to come together .
This article is a big encouragement, surely God’s creation is a silent speech (psalms 19:1-3) the eagle traits speak to us , yet so silently,God bless this exposition.
Lately I have felt like my back has been up against the wall with attacks I’ve had come up against me with my health…While praying one day last week I had a vision of an eagle soaring with its wings spread wide…Today I was lead to this article…I was very inspired,encouraged and uplifted in my spirit by your amazing article…God bless you!
Susan Stuart- June 06-14-18
This is an article that has not only encouraged my heart but has enhanced the call. One day, I was siting in the living room and I heard a thump on the air conditioner. I went to the window for fear that the air conditioner up above fell seeing that they had just made a mandatory request to have all air conditioned units bolted…to which was complied. I came face to face with a bald headed Eagle that watched me for a while and then took off, and landed on a nearby building. I called to my daughter and she yelled “ma that is freedom for you” she has since passed on to glory she didn’t realize that it was her freedom too free from what was ailing her… This article means a lot to me, I do love the Eagle and its characteristics it helps me encouraged.
This article is an actual motivator. What you ask for,you get. I was asking myself what it means to soar up like an eagle. Now I get the interesting points about how I should behave if I want to stay inside the spiritual boat in order to serve and invite my neighbours to my Lord Jesus. So marvellous and amazing to consume and meditate the word in the early quiet hours of the morning just alone and feel His power taking part on me. Thank ,and thank you again. God bless us all.
Thank you for this article. I dreamed I was high on a mountain looking out, and just s a pet dog nudges his head on your leg to be pet, there was a bald eagle. I pet his head and we talked. I told it how amazing it must be to see the things he sees from his point of view. Then I asked if he talks to God sometimes, and he looked at me perplexed at the word “sometimes” so I told him I talk to God all the time too. There was a fire streaming straight from the Earth to Heaven in the distance, so I asked him to fly out and see what it was, then told him never mind because the air would be too hot and he’d die. Just then what looked like an angel with wings of fire came out of old the circular stream of fire.
Attibutes of the eagle as they are potrayed in this article are overwhelmingly convincing. I was stunned by the fact that it is by yhe power of yhe Holy Spirit that man is energized and capacitated to align with God’s calling and strengthened to do that which God destined him.
This is so profound, informative and insightful. It’s a revelation to me, really. So amazed now I understand the scripture. Thank you so much and God bless.
Ezekiel 1:10 and 14:10 put the face of the eagle to the north: indicating God wants us to see Holy Spirit attributes north within the dimensions of heaven.
Hallaluah what a Savior. i am 71 and often I feel like a baby eagle. I am trying to strengthen my wings for flight. The Holy Ghost is awesome. Please keep me in your prayers. May God richly bless you. What encouragement.
Thanks for this educative lesson about the eagle. Its important for christians to understand their position and soar above doubts and faithlessness. To stand strong against the schemes of the devil and be resilient in all circumstances. God bless you.
Indeed people are greatly gifted, just analyzing your way of INTERPRETATION and UNDERSTANDING,wow…. It’s amazing. May we have qualities of the Eagle.
This is a wonderful affirmation, additional clarity and precious insight to a bald eagle siting I witnessed last Sunday. I was standing at the window and happened to look out and up at the sky when at that moment my eye caught site of a magnificent eagle flying in my direction – possibly North? I had some immediate associations with the eagle, but one that stands out was the eagle’s ‘solo’ flight …”Solo Flight” 4th trait/attribute mentioned in in your great article. It explained why I’ve been pondering my own singleness, aloneness and perhaps more feelings more acute since the passing of my twin (identical) sister one year ago. Thank you for this and will share with my brothers and sisters in Christ at our next meeting on Wednesday evening. Praise be to God!
I believe I had a visitation of an eagle while in prayer this morning, it was huge and it met me face to face, so very close. Then it backed away a little and I could see it’s wings & it seemed to be inviting me, up, to follow?I wasn’t sure, so I googled and found this site & read. Amazing the invitation the Lord gives us. Thank you, very timely in my understanding of this analogy. Annamarie
Amazing.
I can absolutely, totally and completely relate.. with every single one. Interesting how the Lord led me to read this after He said to me “Eagle Eyes”. I understood what He meant but He asked me to go read further on Eagles and I came across this in my very first search. I smiled all the way reading this.. Our God of Awesome wonders. The Eagles are Arising!
God Bless you.
Thank you for this message! God spoke the word “Eagle” to me, I had a prophet confirm it, and now your article has given me clarity to what I’ve been walking through. May God bless you!
I am Isabeau. My name means ” My God is bountiful”. I was standing with my Percheron horses while they grazed in Eutaw Al. A mated pair of Eagles came and perched in trees right in front of me. Remarkable! I shared the story with my daughters only after one of them mentioned the bird first in conversation. Last night the Holy Spirit mentioned me to look something up and Eagle once again was mentioned. I knew to search about Eagles and the bible and found this article. So – Our Father God is rising select ones to be more bold and more courageous. We must have that undescribable understanding with in us knowing that we are living in His Kingdom and are to help others see not this world, but see what God sees. To be bold to help. To be bold to listen and take action. To be patient in waiting while it is a challenge. To increase our full Faith, our Full belief where no other room is for any worldly folly. God bless you all sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus!!!!
Very Insightful ! Unpacks vital thoughts revealed in Isaiah 40:31 -as the eagle patiently waits on wind thermals, so should men learn how to be led by the Holy Spirit, if ever they are to live the dream of God for their lives
Want to thank you for these marvelous truths about the eagle and how it relates to our Christian walk. A good friend of mine past away and in the last year of his life his words to the church were …. i) walk in covenant relationship with God and your fellow man! ii) know “the principle of the eagle” and how it relates to our Christian walk!
Your article helps me to understand how applying the ways of the eagle to my life can make me a “man of God” useful in the Kingdom of God Hallelujah!!! I will definitely use much of the content from your web site to let other Christians know who they can be in “Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior”!!! Let us all attain to the heights and soar like the eagle. Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
Thanks a lot for such revelation, it simplified my vision as I was directedby the LORD to research and compare the charters or traits of an eagle v/s an owl.
It made perfect sense to what my life’s phase. Thank may the LORD bless you and replenish your wisdom and calling in Jess name.
Wonderful!! Thank you so much. God bless you sir. I have indeed leant so many things.We should be filled by the Holy Spirit always in order to overcome our opponents ( Satan & his demons ). One thing I have learnt about Satan is that, he always trains up his schemes. We, as Christians, must raise higher and stronger as Eagle to over them.
Also, many Christians wait till 31st December, every year before they start praying. Our opponent do not wait till that that date. Your article has helped me so much.
This article is amazing! I just saw an eagle today fly by my porch. First time ever in real life. Coincidentally I am going through a very difficult time right now. I love God’s signs. If it wasn’t for that Eagle, I would have never seen this Article! God bless!!
I really enjoyed this article. I am in awe of the Lord my saviour. Thru grace GOD has placed me in his army of faith and love. Prayer is my calling and a source of great joy and my strength in Christ. I saw an eagle fly past my car and sit on the road side fence as I was driving into our local city centre. It sat there as I took my junction, it fascinated me and was a very unusual and a extremely surprising sight. This occurred in an area that is most definitely not known for eagles flying around. I felt God allowed me to see this beautiful majestic creature created by his gracious hand. So i decided to research biblical meaning of eagles. Your article has encouraged and blessed me.
Thank you and God bless.
This Was Amazingly Wonderful. Praise God For you, you are highly anointed of God. I believe God must have used you for a great purpose in breaking the eagle down to us believers. I am always seeing Eagles, I haven’t seen them lately, but I always see them somehow, I figured God must be trying to tell me something. I figured it meant I should fly above negativity, I Love to watch them soar. The more I see them I figured there was a deeper meaning. I have been told I’m a progress twice once by a Man of God, and again by a mother or evangelist of the church. I’m always alone, but God is with ME. God showed me a dream with an eagle and a five either looking face to face with one another or flying side by side. I believed it to mean a prophet or profess only goes where the Holy Spirit leads them. I had heard on YouTube that an eagle is the sign of a prophet or teas. I Love This article Praise God for you. I will save this article and never forget it. I want to paint a five and an eagle, and one with both and hang them all in my living room. I WANT THEM TO COME OUT BEAUTIFUL SPIRITUAL DRAWINGS IN JESUS Name. God Bless and amount you more. This article is the truth, this must be the hand of God on you. The article was positive and beautiful , I like to think it was also very true spiritually. I wanted to know, Praise God you broke down the hidden truths of the eagle to the body of Christ. It Blessed me and so many others. Acts 2:38 Bible. The fruits of the spirit was also good to read:) It will help me remember to let The Holy Spirit lead and operate through me.
Thank you for the Word. I feel so blessed and encouraged enough. That was a wonderful and powerful Word. Thier is some of your which my heart is reminded about my calling from God. That was so touching, such annointed. May God bless you more.
I believe we are all here reading this for a reason. I recently had a prophetic speaking which was mentioned to me years before by someone else. When I came back from my trip to Dallas while visiting UPPERROOM I have been so hungry for God for the Holy Spirit. I have been in His word studying chapters and everything is just lining up. On Monday and today I went on a trail run even though it was blistering cold here in Missouri. Both days I came across 2 eagles flying high on the wind thermals so I decided to dive deeper into understanding Eagles as they can be an anology of Christianity. From all of this reading God is working in mysterious ways and he is working in myself right this very moment. God has something huge coming and I’m ready to serve him whole heartedly and faithfully.
Wow, this article is amazing!! It gave me chills. My father passed away last year and immediately after his passing, there was a eagle image in the sunset which sent me to Isaiah 40:31. My dad loved eagles, he had pictures of them all over this house, which he even called ‘the eagles nest’. I felt a shift happen within me upon his passing and have been wrestling about what it means and what I am to do next. Recently I’ve gotten very confused about it and realize I need to dive deeper into the word and be still to hear more from God. Maybe I’m in the wilderness stage and I feel something bigger on the way. At church a couple months ago the holy spirit came over me and I saw a army of believers rising up, linking arms. Others in my family have also sensed that something is happening, we don’t know what, but the spirit is moving. Thank you for being such a blessing in writing this article and helping me!!!!
Yesterday as I was driving home a huge fully grown eagle flew within a few feet of my windshield. I was amazed. I never had an eagle fly that low right in front of me before. Today I decided to take out an old song book and was singing & playing different songs on my guitar. I started to sing Eagle’s Wings by Reuben Morgan. The sighting of the eagle came back to mind, and I felt like the Holy Spirit was speaking to me so I googled Eagle symbolism from a Christian perspective and came upon this article. Was so amazing to read this article and learn all about eagles and how it relates to scripture.
I read some time ago that eagles stare at the sun when they are injured or for other reasons to restore their strength. I was trying to find this mentioned in the article, but probably just over looked it.
If it is indeed true, would you elaborate a bit more on it, cause the application for renewal in the Christian walk would be profound, yet obvious.
Thank you.
Hi,
It is very amazing to have read about your article focusing particularly on the “Eagle and It’s outstanding qualities”. Please continue to furnish me with all such literature that really brings about impaction in the life of hungry Christians
Love this article! Found it while online searching after dreaming of an eagle. My husband and I are driving in a vehicle when we see a very, very large brown, white fluffy baby eagle struggling to fly. We realize it fell out of a nest. I get out of vehicle and it comes straight to me and curls up in my arms. We then take the vehicle, my son’s car, to the shop. Eagle stays in the vehicle while we wait. When car is repaired, my husband tells me that we will take care and raise the baby eagle.
Waal. thank you Jesus!! been blessed. God is speaking.
Thanks for the article, a life changing one!!
Your publications are a pool of great knowledge. Please keep me posted on your updates.
I am a pastor and a teacher.
Thank you so much… I saw 6 bald eagles today, together, and one dropped a down feather which went off the trail to take back with me. I took it all as a deep sign. This article is confirmation. Thank you.
May you experience miracles,
Aurora
Thank you sir, I have been trying to unlock the importance of the eagle to a christain for some time now. And the Lord has used your write-up to give me an incite. May God increase your wisdom and knowledge of HIS words.-Amen.
– Inn O.
I am reading this article because of a cloud formation of the shape of a soaring eagle I saw yesterday in the clear Sky. I shared the picture and was sent this Analogy to read. What you explain does resonate in me and I am affirmed of what the Lord is leading me to do for His people. Thank you and All Glory to God.
Wished I can share the picture here. It was Awesome.
Wow! On June 16 I witnessed the same vision. I have the picture of it!!!!!!!! I was sitting on my patio and a cloud formation of an eagle appeared…..And since then I have been seeing a representation of eagles everywhere..
Thank you, this article came at the right time. I was feeling so alone and questioning God about this wilderness experience. I found the answer in this article. Blessings to you and your family. God bless.
Amen, Amen, Amen on this analogy!
I have been seeing eagles for so many months, and never knew or understood it! I The Holy Spirit kept having me turn to Isaiah 40:30-31!
I was nearly finished reading Job tonight and in the part where God speaks out of a whirlwind at Job 39:27-30 in the Amplified Bible about the eagle, I stopped. His young ones suck up blood, and where the slain are, there is he. I wanted to know what that meant and if it related to Armageddon or if it’s just in general, so I looked on internet for info and found this. This is the greatest breadth of teaching on eagles that I have seen in over fifty years since I first was saved. I read in a reply to someone that Michael has passed, so I will not get the chance to ask his opinion. He is in the great cloud of witnesses though who sees us, so he will know when I do find an answer. Thank you for maintaining this posting for us. Well done.
I like to thank you for this wonderful teaching on the Eagle and how it pertains to our Christian walk. I was looking up Eagles because of a dream that I had where my husband and I were connecting Eagles but connected as one. He was the head the eyes the beak and the body he also had the strength to soar in any direction quickly. I was the neck and the wings and the feet. as I spread out my wings he would soar any which way he saw something wrong and my wings would hit it and make it right or light it up or fix it.
An eagle landed on the fence in my front yard yesterday and I knew it was a sign from the Lord but didn’t know what. In church yesterday we want of being free in Jesus and I thought this was a confirmation. But again this afternoon the eagle returned. It didn’t stay as long as yesterday, just swept around the tree and flew away. That’s why I searched for articles on eagles in the Bible. Thank you for such an informative artcle. I’m still praying and waiting on the Lord to show me what He wants me to see in this.
I had a dream a few days ago the spirit of God telling me about the characteristics of an eagle, and was asked to research more about the eagle, thank you this is first class information am here to learn stumbled on this information, praise God
I am a new Christian and this morning as I was driving a Eagle flew directly in front of me it was so close that it startled me. I have read several verses in the Bible where the Eagle represents strength and power, I am wondering is God telling me something specific? Can someone please help me have a better understanding of why God sent this Eagle to me.
Hi Victoria,
I cannot tell you why God had your eagle was sent to you but I can tell you that I had a very similar experience. I live in Maine and I was traveling to California for a visit, I needed time away as some extremely traumatic events had happened to me both personally and professionally. I had also been baptized about a month prior to this incident and I was struggling with conforming to the lifestyle of a Christian in particular consumption of recreational drugs and alcohol. I knew that this would need to change but I was not sure if I was even on the right path.
The Pastor I had chosen to follow had told me a story of a white bird that had been sent by God to give him a message and this impressed me and I prayed for days before that for God to send me a bird. I was praying to God to let me know if I was doing the right thing. I was behind an 18 Wheeler on route 236 in Maine and a giant eagle flew between me and that truck. I was so startled, shocked and the eagle turned his head and looked straight at me and I heard this “you will follow and stay this course, you need to be of sound mind so I can use you”. I also heard if you take your eyes of this bird it will be gone and I looked to see where I was in proximity to the truck and it was gone.
I was blown away. I then thought the Pastor’s bird was WHITE, this isn’t the right bird. Insane woman that I am. When I came home I told my Pastor and he told me that I was an Eagle and that was the right bird for me and that I was truly loved and blessed.
I have not regretted my decision to follow so far. I have made having a relationship with Jesus my first priority and it has made this very tough journey make sense. I am thrilled I found this article and that you had a similar experience it is so validating. May God Bless you and keep you safe.

TERRIFIC ARTICLE!!!! I have been seeing bald eagles almost every day since late October (it’s Dec 2019 now). I knew the Lord was confirming a prophecy spoken over me recently. Everything makes so much sense! I had to research the bit about two sets of eyes. I found that it’s more of an eyelid than an eye but eagles do have both monocular and binocular vision allowing them to see both near and up to 3km away. Thank you for this article, Mr. Bradley!
Yes I had visions of an eagle and did not understand so I fasted and I was seeking the Lord in scripture and I got revelation of the eagle and now I have complete understanding of the symbolic meaning of this beauty majestic eagle Thank you Jesus
Thank you for this wonderful exhortation in Biblical perspective. God bless you more for adding wisdom, knowledge, and understanding for God’s glory in Jesus.
I came here because two years ago or a little more ago I had a dream. God showed me in that dream how he would raise me up and take me through the eye of a storm as an eagle on the wind. A gust of wind came along and God actually lifted me and I flew as God demonstrated to me how he would raise me up and carry me through that storm. I will never forget that dream and had been searching for the meaning ever since. I believe I found it here. The attributes of the eagle are the same one’s I am learning to identify in myself or even cultivating within myself with the help of the holy spirit, and as a long and desire to be closer to God and his son Jesus. I feel blessed to have read this to tonight.
Ten years ago I witnessed the spirit of the Lord in the form of an eagle of cloud. The eagle cloud was so well defined in detail it was perfectly sculptured but out of cloud and was about 100 meters in the air. The eagle of cloud was above the town centre and I was looking out my second storey apartment when I saw this majestic spirit cloud. The eagle cloud was the only cloud in the sky as I recall and was approximately 30 meters by 30 meters with wings outstretched as though taking flight or about to land. The detail was mesmerising so accurate it made the cloud look as if the eagle was alive. And the light caught the beak of the eagle cloud as though God was Himself smiling down on us? I am so lucky to have witnessed this and often wonder why? I have also seen around 9 other miraculous signs including transfiguration. God is Love…
I accepted Christ when I was still a child. I dont mean physically a child, I mean mentally and emotionally. I have a form of autism that affects my brains development.
Quite literally, I thought, reasoned and acted exactly like a child when I was in my teens. I was relatively innocent and very naive in my beliefs. As a result of my childlike naive mind, I dont believe I truly understood what accepting Christ would require.
Fast forward approximately 20 years. I was involved in a lot of evil things and caused a lot of people a lot of pain. Then one day I went to a friend’s house and she was talking about going to a home group in a few hours.
I was hungry at the time and selfish, thinking I could eat with them and just pretend to listen. When the group started, I tried to answer everything and behaved very arrogantly. I quite literally behaved like a know it all, but I had no clue what I was talking about. My answers were obviously not annointed by the Holy Spirit.
Thankfully, the group leader was extremely patient and broke through the false knowledge. Eventually, he asked me if I had ever accepted Christ. I said yes as a child, but that I didnt think I understood what it meant when I did it.
He broke down where the path starts, with the covenant God made to Abraham. He explained what making a covenant entailed and the penalty for breaking it. Then he walked me through the fact Christ had to come and die for the sins of the world, because mankind has sinned and the covenant was broken. By law, there had to be a penalty. Thankfully, God took that punishment on himself when Jesus was Crucified.
After the group lead had said this, he went through the resurrection of Christ. Christ was innocent and blameless. As a result of that, God raised him from the dead, thus giving future generations hope.
When I understood all this, I literally broke from the inside out. My hardened heart was shattered and I understood fully the gravity of my sinful life. I understood I stood a guilty man worthy of death, but that God was offering me a way out of the sin and condemnation.
I jumped at the chance. Through the annointing of the Holy Spirit, the group leader led me in a prayer accepting Christ. It was not just any Sinners Prayer. The Holy Spirit was quite literally operating. The words the group leader guided me to say came directly from the mouth of the Holy Spirit. It was targeted directly at me and nobody else.
I stille remember turning over my pain and hurts into Jesus’s hands. I admitted I was broken and couldnt fix myself and told Jesus I needed him. I asked him to save me and take over. When the prayer was finished, the group leader clapped exstatically. He explained the reason he was clapping, was because the angels in Heaven throw a party whenever one lost soul is redeemed and returns to the Father. That night was the start of a ling grueling 2 and a half year journey. Many times I failed to live up to my commitment I made. I didnt do what the bible says by putting my old life to death.
Fast forward to last night. I was doing was usual thing. Youtube. I dont really know why, but I was led to look up Eric Clapton’s song Tears in Heaven.
I felt sure there was an AGT/BGT version that was sung by a male. I cant explain how I knew it, but eventually I found it. I watched the video and was weeping. I always have identified with the song because I often feel like I dont belong in Heaven when I die because of my choices and willful singul life, despite claiming to be a Christian.
Watching that video rekindle a small flame that two and a half years ago burned hot. I confessed my sins, but I was still not at peace. The Lord was not finished with dealing with my sin and commitment I made to him.
He showed me I have been living a half in and half out life. I know he wants me all in, or all out. Nothing is more displeasing to God than a lukewarm Christian.
As a result of my desperation, I googled “Help. I gave my life to Christ and didnt give up my old life.” When I hit enter and searched through the things I felt didnt apply, I found exactly what my heart was looking for.
I found this website and an article written about serious backsliding for a significant amount of time. It seemed to be reassuring me, but I quickly realized my work on confession and commitment was not over. The article was telling me I had to fully let God take the reings. It led me to another article on this site about Exactly what God expects from me as a Christian. It taught me the ramifications of turning the reigns over fully and commiting my mind, body, spirit and life to the direction of God.
It warned me of the penalty for leaving God once he revealed the truth, but I just could not let go and stop reading.
Then, once I was sure I was ready, I went to my knees beside my bed and verbally prayed the prayer the article led me through. I then laid back down and devoured as much of what the other article said as I could before I just couldnt physically do it anymore. Periodically I prayed throughout my reading.
Now I have entered into a 29 day fast of no food or drink except water. I am attempting to learn to rely on God and I feel fully convinced it is His will that I do this specific fast.
Im sorry my comment was so long, but I feel like my story needed to be shared. Perhaps my story of redemption can bring comfort to someone who is hurting and has backslid to the point that they feel they are lost forever.
To any of you who have seriously backslid, it is not too late. God has not abandoned you. He isnt mad at you, he loves you. More than anyone can possibly imagine. All you have to do is return to him. If you will make that commitment, the Holy Spirit will lead you in exactly what to do from there.
I am so glad I landed on this article today. It is so deep, it has done to me something that I can’t just explain. I feel so uplifted, so new, wanting to fly like the eagle all the way. May God bless you for he revealed this analogy to you and you are passing it on and on and on.
December 11-2020 I thank Almighty God connecting me with this article.And thanks to Almighty God for leading you through the Holy Spirit to write this powerful message on the eagle I’m Blessed and my life has changed because of this article.Its my prayer that Almighty God may continue to inspire you to to continue touching the world with the message of hope that connects people to God’s through His son Jesus Christ .Amen. Be blessed My name is Sarah from Uganda
I love the article. It’s well written. It has helped me understand, why I’m so curious about this marvelous creation of God. Often I pray for wings, and haven’t completely known why.
The more I learn about what this creature represents, the more I’m convicted. Be blessed in the name of Jesus
A couple of years ago, I was getting prayer and as the pastor prayed I saw her emotional and she expressed how much God loved me and mentioned I was like an eagle to Him. I never understood what it meant but reading this article gave me more strength in my belief for My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you,It gave me more courage, I will make more time to read the Word.
I have marvelled at the eagle for many years now and have preached from this very scripture on more than one occasion, this article has given me some new information to add to that message the next time I feel the unction of the holy Spirit to preach it, so thanks for sharing
I was blessed in the most profound way today, March 22, 2020, with an eagle sighting. I saw a BALD EAGLE soaring across the sky as I was enjoying the view from my back yard here in Houston…Yes, Houston…Can you believe it!
I actually had goose bumps when it occurred. The sighting led me to reflect more deeply about the spiritual relevance of what I saw. And in my spiritual quest for meaning, I came across this most timely and relevant article. The article has given me a fresh perspective as I take the next step in furthering my Medical Ministry, which is: “To Manifest God’s Love for Humanity By Healing the Sick and Giving Hope to the Suffering”!
I love this article,it answers most of my questions that i had for a couple of days. I am a round wood truck driver ,and for the past 2 weeks i have been hauling pulp wood to a certain mill, and there’s 2 different routes that i can take to get to that mill. During those 2 weeks i was listening to my KJV audio bible, and every day,I would at least see 3 or more bald eagles at different times and different places in those 2 routes. I have hauled in those routes before ,and i never saw any eagles in the past.So I didn’t understand why I was seeing so many bald eagles, it must be a sign or there must be a significance for these sitings, mind you we where 2 trucks following each other and the other truck only saw one eagle flying during this 2 week period. For me i have seen them sitting on tree branches, in middle of different fields , flying and for 2 straight days i have seen one eagles leap of the ground and start flying maybe 150 to 200 meters in front of my truck, it’s just mind blowing for me after reading this article.
Thank you for taking the time to research and share all this information on the eagle so plainly. I have taken so many notes and can’t wait to share. I was led to this after reading Psalm 103:5. I’ve been battling health issues and God’s promise to restore me like an eagle prompted me to learn more about the eagle. You have provided an insight into the eagle and the scripture in a way I’ve never heard or seen it before. Thank you. Please don’t ever take this down.
WOW!
How awesome & timely in my finding your analogy of the eagle. 1. Many yrs ago I had a dream / vision that I was before GOD’S THRONE & our Bible study group were there too.
I saw everyone standing with their families but then I asked our LORD but where am I LORD?
& HE replied in my spirit “you are the eyes”. Only later I realized that the prophetic is linked to the keen vision of the eagle.
2 Last week as we were taking communion I also saw an enormous “golden eagle stretched out over our home almost like being the roof it was so close. I just believe GOD IS my /our covering in these difficult & trying time we’re in.
3.I have also seen eagles soaring over our house a few time & while in Switzerland last yr over our daughter’s home. I take it as GOD JEHOVAH sees. HE IS FAITHFUL to SAVE♥️
Thank you & be blessed in CHRIST JESUS.
This is amazing. God bless you for sharing. This is so timely and I’m definitely going to share this to as many as possible. It’s so amazing how God can teach us life lessons and knowing our worth with just a creature we are greater than. That speaks humility❤️I’m really really blessed and encouraged by this post..
Thank you for this article. It have been blessed by it tremendously. The Word never fails, it is Spirit and Life.I am soaring higher with this new found knowledge. God bless you.
Shalom. Thank you for the encouraging article about the eagle. Our faith and believe in God will make us accomplish Gods divine purpose in life. If we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us. God bless you.
I am uniquely blessed by this article and prays that the traits listed will certainly enhance my walk with the Lord. I have identified some and will certainly seek God’s guidance in my life
I’m so greatly blessed by this article. I’ve read much about eagles but this is highly inspiring. May the good Lord bless and reveal Himself more to the author and I.
It’s a Great message. Thank you for sharing and God bless.
Can you please forward the message to my email address.
Be strengthened by the holy spirit in your walk with God.
A very Profound and beautiful revelation of Eagles. I was blessed and will study this again. Thanks for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you to bless God’s people. Grace and Peace.
Thank you for this blessed article. In my local language the verse says, will beat the wings and raise itself high. i wonder what the original Hebrew bible says
This is a very well thought out research work and very refreshing for my soul. Thank you and may God continue to bless and prosper your ministry in Jesus name Amen.
I have been seeing bald eagles in the last few days. One in my yard catching fish and another young bald eagle was flying over me in the car today. Surely has my attention.
Good morning and thank you very much for this article. I am blessed by it. It lead me in to thinking a lot of my life and what God is seeking to do with and through me. I am a Seventh Day Adventist Christian who love the Lord and looking forward to His soon coming. Yesterday I felt so alone but I thank God’s Holy Spirit for leading me to this article where He showed me that He is with me. That the eagle flies alone. That God could work with us best when we are alone with Him. I was awake for almost the whole night reading and thinking about the eagle qualities in the article. I will be sharing this article. Our Redeemer Jesus Christ is soon to come. As you so rightly pointed out that one of the qualities of the mighty eagle is patience. Revelation 14:12 says “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” God bless and have a wonderful day. Let us all be obedient to God as seek to be as Eagles.
Thank you for this , thank you for sharing what God put on your heart. I believe God wants me to be an eagle believer and have these aspects be the characteristics of Christ’s Spirit in me.
God bless and keep soaring
This analogy is profound. It could have only come through the working of the Holy
Spirit within you. Hallelujah! May the Lord continue to bless you and use you to help others understand what it means to rise up as an eagle.
This has been a blessing to me at this very particular time of my Walk with God, am now so much believe that God is raising generals in this our generation, and his word is coming according to our generation
Mr.Michael Bradley you are an AMAZING AND ANOINTIED WRITER! I love this website! You make each subject come together so clear. Thank you so much! God bless you and the work you are doing for the Lord.
Thanks a lot for this marvelous analogy written definitely by an eagle Christian . Allow me to humbly add one more very special trait of an eagle that it can look directly into the sun !
Thank you so much for this…. I just located a path for my struggling foot…. God bless you for sharing this for all… Its given me so much insight on my calling and will surely share this with my Christian friends and family. Id like to be coached even better by you site. Thank you and may the Almighty God bless you once again!
Thank you so very much for lesson on the eagle. I’ve have been bless to have done some study on the life of the eagle and how the eagle’s life compares to our life as believers. I have also been blessed to teach about the eagle’s life and how it is spiritually compared to the life of the believer in our mid week bible study, and also in our noon day prayer bible study. This article has added so much to my spiritual knowledge about how the traits of the eagle pertains to our Christian walk, that I will be able to share this knowledge at God’s appointed time. I thank my God for the knowledge that I am gaining from these articles.
Thank you very much. I am so blessed reading the traits of the eagle. I saw in my life as an eagle. I am challenge to do my best by the grace of God and the anointing of the Holy Spirit to do what God wants me to do. I fully understand why God allows me to experience Fiery trials in my life. To make me strong and fly like an eagle.
Thank you for this analogy, I am really blessed. It will help me build more faith in Jesus so I can can take this leap to flow and walk with the Holy Spirit…
Powerful analogy of the eagle. I have learnt a lot going through all the 12 points. I will share with my colleague women in the ministry and children service teachers. God richly bless you.
Very inspiring message indeed that has blessed me as I read each attribute and qualities of the mighty eagle. The message is well expounded and its my prayer that the Lord through his Holy Spirit will help me mount up with wings as eagles! Blessings upon blessings to you.
Thank you for this life value added article…God bless you now and always
This is a very nice translation & interpretation on traits of the eagle and how it pertains to our Christian walk.
This is a great analogy. When God spoke to me and told me to soar like an eagle, I looked up articles about eagles and I came across this. It really blessed me. Thank you for your obedience.
So blessed with this article as I have been struggling in my waiting upon the Lord during prayer times. Thank you Lord for the truth of your words.
Thank you for sharing! Blessings!
