Into the Fire

I've decided to share a dream I had in the early morning hours of Monday. Haven't had one this powerful in a long time, and the message I received from it was amazing. 

You might not put much value in dreams, but at times they can be used as prophetic messages to be shared or to be held securely in a secret place until a time presents itself for revealing their content. 

For me, the time is now. There will be some vagaries in the telling, but I will do my best to convey what was shown to me. 

The abrupt beginning had a friend (I'm not sure who it was, but one individual came to mind) pointing to a shed telling me that there was a man out there with two eagles. The situation was not good. I immediately walked out there and walked in. One eagle was clearly dying and this man (mid-30s perhaps, longish slightly curly brown hair, creepy expression/demeanor) was speaking words over the dying eagle. The words came out as satanic symbols (visually to me) as he spoke them. I said loudly and firmly, "In the Name of Jesus!" The man quickly left the shed. The eagle had died. 

The second eagle was not dying but was not in a good way. There were some fresh garden vegetables lying on the table where he perched. I picked up one of them, broke off a piece, and carefully held out my hand to the eagle, knowing he could still potentially hurt me in self-defense. He gently took the bite and became revived, straightening himself. There was a connection between us, no fear. The dream continued for a short while as a friendship formed. And then it was over.

There is something of a "history" between God and me and eagles. He has used their appearance in recent years to encourage me. Whenever I see one, either flying by or perched in a nearby tree, or hear their melodic sound they sometimes make, I know the Lord is reminding me of His power and attention to all things going on in this world. He ministers to me through eagles. 

The conscious revelation of the dream after I awoke, seemed to say to me, "Yes, a part of America will die, but I will revive the other part for a season. Bring life back to it for a season. And I will do what it takes to bring souls into my Kingdom." The symbol of the bald eagle for America is not a coincidence. 

A powerful dream, a message of hope and restoration, and an act against evil. 

Father, I cannot thank you enough for giving me this dream, for using eagles in my life, for caring about your people and wanting all to be saved and none to perish even though many will refuse your Son Jesus Christ. Please do intervene for America one more time, for one more season before the full onset of Revelation unfolds. I ask in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
