Eagle's Wings

It is upon Eagle's wings that we soar into the heaven.

KJV 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.

We are in an era of great change; change that will bring about a shakeup in our own personal worlds. Be not dismayed because Jesus is orchestrating this change. He will not leave you comfortless: KJV John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless (bereft of a teacher, guide, guardian, orphaned): I will come to you.

Jesus said that He would bare you unto Himself and no other.

Many times we think of theses Eagle's wings taking us away from the troubles of this world so we will find peace away from the responsibilities that we have here.

KJV Psalm 107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Jesus said that He would calm the storm not take us out of the boat of this life. It is this calm in Him that will help us through the coming change. A change that will refine all those that profess that Jesus is Lord.

Be strengthened in Jesus.

Blessings to all.

Apple of His Eye

Another Sunday morning. I was sitting on my porch at about 7:00 this morning, as I am making a habit of doing lately, just feeling the town I live in come awake. The song "Easy Like Sunday Morning" came to mind. Went to YouTube and listened to it. Right now the title says it all.
Sunday mornings can be very peaceful. People are not rushing to get to work, factories are not in full swing and the traffic on the main road is at a minimum.
Today the sun was raising hot and the wind was still. Peaceful Like Sunday Morning. What a blessing it is to sit and experience this.
I feel that time is never wasted watching the grass grow. Just being in the moment with Jesus is a wonderful thing. Just relaxing. Mind clear of the things of the day, troubles or the stuff I have to do. Just being.
Just being with Jesus is a wonderfully peaceful thing. Time is never wasted when Jesus is the center of it; the moment that is. We do not have the past or the future we only have the now, the moment, the heartbeat, the twinkle of the eye; that is all we have to live in. Yes we have eternity with Jesus to look forward to; we are not there yet, that is coming. We have our past experiences that can shape our now. We can have a dream which is a future reality that has not happened yet. Where we really live is in the moment.
For me the hardest thing is to fill that moment with the positive and even harder is allowing Jesus to be there filling the moment.
That got me to thinking about this verse of scripture:

KJV Zechariah 2:
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

We as believers are the "apple of his eye". The Phrase Finder says this:
"Originally meaning the central aperture of the eye. Figuratively it is something, or more usually someone, cherished above others."
I am the apple of Jesus's eye. I, as a believer and one of His own, am cherished above all others. Opps! That sounds that I and I alone am cherished to the exclusion of all others. We know that the Body as a whole, a part of which you and I are, is cherished.
However I would like to take this to a totally personal level.
No one else can experience Jesus like I do. No one else has the relationship with Jesus that I do. How can they? We are all unigue, one of a kind in this world, created this way by Jesus. That is why I can say that I am cherished above all others because there is not another me.
Just think of it: you are indavidually created by Jesus and therefore you have a unique, exclusive relationship with Jesus. He interacts with you in a way that He interacts with no one else. Unique and exclusive.
Does that make me better than others? Why should it because Jesus acts with others in a way that is exclusive to them. They are the apple of his eye also.
The following scripture I believe expresses this best:

KJV Luke 12:
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

We are never forgotten of God. We are the apple of His eye, cherished and beloved.

KJV Psalm 46:
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Being still before God, knowing that He cherishes you will bring great strength and calm.
May Jesus find you today in the quiet reaches of your being and bring you great joy and comfort.

EYE-OPENING!

Joys of Muslim Women
by Nonie Darwish

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.
The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy. Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.
Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.
The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.
In the West World ( America ) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.
By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.

Ripping the West in Two.

Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.
She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.
Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza .
When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.
But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.
In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.
For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed.
Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.
Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.
While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.
While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.
It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.
While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves.
