“But those who wait for the Lord (who expect, look for, and hope in Him) shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up close to God as Eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” Isaiah 40:31 Eagles are the “king of birds” and throughout the Bible, God likens Himself and His children to an Eagle. Eagles are mentioned 34 times in the Bible and are considered an international symbol of strength, stamina, power, majesty, authority, and freedom. You can’t fly as an Eagle unless you stay strong. If eagles are placed in captivity their entire personality changes… they don’t clean themselves anymore, they lose their aggression, they become lazy, passive, depressed, and they begin to eat dead, rotten meat, when normally they only eat fresh meat. Like the eagle, Eagle Christians don’t operate well in captivity… such as when they are boxed in, controlled or manipulated or stuck in a religious cage. Most Christians are in captivity… captive to what other people think and what others are doing… they are people pleasers, not God pleasers. Some Christians are captive to what other people expect out of them… they live under the domination of man and the world. Many even prefer captivity and subjection to man-made religion. Paul said, “In this freedom Christ made us free and completely liberated us; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit to a yoke of slavery, which you once put off.” Galatians 5:1
