The Hawk

On May 6, 2017 a Hawk... one almost identical to this one came swooping toward the window as I peered through it.  I had been watching a couple black birds on the ground fighting and wrestling with each other when suddenly a very large beautiful bird came swooping down on the birds and swooped upward just before the window that I peered through.  It was so quick and amazing.  I flew outside, but just as quickly the bird was nowhere to be found.  

At first I though it looked to be a gold eagle, but after some research I really feel that it truly was a hawk.  I've never researched the significance of the hawk and the bible, I've had my attentions mostly on eagles.  However, I was surprised to find this and excerpt from a book by John Eckhardt "Moving In The Apostolic"...

"The Ravenous Bird

God has a plan and purpose He will fulfill.  It has already been spoken by the prophets.  Nothing will stand in the way of His fulfilling His good pleasure; His counsel shall stand.  We have the glorious opportunity of being part of this plan.  As we discover the plan of God, we pray and align ourselves with His will, making us laborers together with God."  

"God calls the Ravenous Bird of Prey to execute His purposes.  This is a prophetic symbol of the apostolic ministry.  The ravenous bird is the Hebrew word ayit, meaning a hawk.  It comes from a word meaning to swoop down upon.  The hawk is a symbol of war, representing the militaristic aspect of the apostle's mantle.  Another contemporary definition for hawk is one who demonstrates an actively aggressive or combative attitude.  The Church's foreign policy is our commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel.  We must have an aggressive, warlike attitude against the forces of darkness that would attempt to stop us."

"The hawk symbolizes sharpness, keen vision and quickness, which means discernment and insight into the plans and purposes of God. The hawk is a swift bird that suddenly seizes its prey.  It is ravenous which means extremely hungry, voracious or greedy for gratification.  This bird symbolizes the militant, aggressive and warlike aspect of the apostolic ministry.  As Isaiah said, it is needed to execute the plans of God."

God calls the Ravenous bird to execute His counsel.  These are military generals and commanders who will mobilize the people of God for the fulfillment of God's purposes."

The hawk moves swiftly; it does not take long to swoop down upon and devour it's prey.  The apostolic church must likewise be quick in executing the plans of the Lord." End of excerpt

It was very interesting and not by chance that the "hawk" event happened while I was talking on the phone with my mother about our family and spiritual warfare, the apostolic ministry, the Elisha Double Blessing Mantle.  All of these things were being discussed when suddenly a hawk swoops in front of me only yards away.  Both the hawk and eagle are "birds of prey" and talked about in the bible...

"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying,  "My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure," calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes My counsel, from a far country.  Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass.  I have purposed it; I will also do it."  Isaiah 46:10-11 

I found all this significant enough to mention.  Also, while investigating hawks, I happened upon this music video by a group called "The Hawks Trio" and found it to be inspiring and in sync with this post...

Family Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of our family.  Enlighten our hearts and minds that we may live more fully this vocation to love.

In our daily life and work may we reflect the self-giving love which you, O Father, eternally show with Your Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let Your love be evident in the peace that reigns in our home and in the faith we profess and live.  May our family always be a place of generosity, understanding, forgiveness and joy.

Kindly give us the wisdom and courage to be witnesses to Your eternal design for the family; and grant that the Holy Family of Nazareth may always guide our path to holiness as a family.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.  Amen.

(Archbishop E. Lori of Baltimore, Supreme Chaplain)

All Life Is Precious and Needs Protected

For You formed my inward parts;

You wove me in my mother's womb.

I will give thanks to You, 

For I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Wonderful are Your works,

And my soul knows it very well

My frame was not hidden from You,

When I was made in secret,

And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;

And in Your book were all written

The days that were ordained for me,

When as yet there was not one of them.

How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.

When I awake, I am still with You.

Psalm 139:13-18

Here Comes the Son!

"Here Comes the Sun", a song from the sixties keeps coming to mind as of late.

Interestingly, On March 6, 2017 Lana Vawser had a post entitled...  "Prophets Facing Relentless Opposition and Walking Through a Dark Night, I Prophesy Over You, You Are Going to Make It!  Here Comes The Sun!!!"  Here's an excerpt...

" I have seen a very dark night of the soul that many prophets are facing right now.  There has been an assault against the prophets in the last month or so that has been unlike anything I have ever seen before.  The Lord spoke to me recently and said that the enemy is Raging Mad.  He is going after the prophets to silence them and to bring them to a standstill."

"It has been an incredible onslaught for many, and there has been a spirit of witchcraft that is attempting to kill the prophets right now in many ways.  The whole intention of this onslaught is to steal their voice, render them useless and cause them to run.  What many of you are facing right now is the darkest night you have faced in a long time, but I want to encourage you "You are going to make it!  Here Comes The Sun!!!"

See the entire message here... https://lanavawser.com/2017/03/prophets-here-comes-the-sun/

What makes this even further interesting is a few hours later in the same day I saw her post a commercial came on the television and the song they were playing was... "Here Comes the Sun"!  I was shocked!

And, also interesting is around 15 years ago I had a website that my son and I created and the song we had playing was... "Here Comes the Sun".

We've been waiting... and He is coming! He is our sunshine in the darkness.  The dark clouds are breaking.  And the Son will shine!

As I pondered all this I felt led to randomly open "Jesus Calling".  Here is an excerpt...

"April 10, pg. 105 - While you were still in darkness, I began to shine the Light of My Presence into your sin-stained life.  Finally, I lifted you up out of the mire into My Marvelous Light.  Having sacrificed My very Life for you, I can be trusted in every facet of your life."

I've also been hearing in my spirit... "New birth".  And, here is another excerpt from Lana's post...

"The Lord is birthing you right now as an Overcomer.  You already are an Overcomer and Victorious in Christ, it is already yours, but the Lord is Awakening the Revelation and Manifestation in your life of your Victory!"

All of these things coming together inclined me to make a post about it.  It is no coincidence!

Seven Sorrows

 1.  The prophecy of Simeon. (St. Luke 2:34, 35)
2.  The flight into Egypt.  (St. Matthew 2:13, 14)
3.  The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple. (St. Luke 2: 43-45)
4.  The meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross.
5.  The Crucifixion.
6.  The taking down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross.
7.  The burial of Jesus.

Meditate on each Sorrow and then recite a Hail Mary.

The Blessed Virgin Mary grants seven graces to the souls who honor her daily by saying seven Hail Mary's and meditating on her tears and dolors (sorrows).  The devotion was passed on by St. Bridget.

The Seven Graces

1.  I will grant peace to their families.
2. They will be enlightened about the divine mysteries.
3.  I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work.
4.  I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.
5.  I will defend them in their spirtual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.
6.  I will visibly help them at the moment of their death, they will see the face of their Mother.

7.  I have obtained from my Divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and My Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.
