As our current Church age is closing, and we are preparing and beginning to cross into what has “never been done before”, I think it’s important that we remain childlike and unassuming. What one person is training for may be different from you, and the process equally different, and even if similar we should take into careful consideration that we also learn and receive impartation from the Lord differently as we are unique with our experiences that have formed us thus far.

Some of us are used to being judged because of a life of pioneering, however I believe soon there will be more temperance where many have felt misunderstood. Once again, if you’ve been given an assignment in uncharted territory, even trials to strengthen the individual in preparation will look vastly different to the next. Simply put, it’s really tempting to use old lenses to try and figure people out, what God is doing, etc. However, it hasn’t been done before. So we really don’t know. It’s keeping this in the forefront with humility that we will actually move forward. We need to especially strive to give grace in this transitional season, while yet there is urgency and much at stake.

Recently I had a series of visions with eagles that helped explain the above. One of the things I saw was the close-up of one of the eyelids of the eagle, the “third eyelid”, which is called the nictitating membrane (nictitan). This transparent membrane wipes the eye clean, and keeps it moisturized while the eagle never looses vision or shuts the eye. One of the spiritual applications I believe to be that as we soar through storms and heights we haven’t been to before, (three represents the Spirit) by the Spirit the Lord will help us see clearly, as we individually remain transparent before Him and rely on the HOLY SPIRIT to guide us. Symbolically, the Holy Spirit can also be seen as the source of moisture to the eye, as water often represents the Spirit.

Lastly, this transition, just like the crossing over in the days of old, will be supernatural and yet require our obedience and yielding. While we are maturing as sons and daughters in the Lord, our heart posture must remain childlike in faith, and with that I propose that this cross-over looks much like ‘ascension’ verses ‘over’.
