My Second Eagle Dream - March 19, 2024

Image
  I had another Eagle dream on March 19th. I've been sitting on it and waiting on the Lord for interpretation. I also posted this in the Dream Lab on Facebook and got one really cool response. This is her comment. I believe having a dream within a dream often means having a realization, that you are "waking up to" something. Please realize that this is now my second Eagle dream. I had one on November 14, 2022, that really impacted me. I believe it was a dream from God to encourage me and others that no harm would come to His own. God wants us to have peace and trust Him in what is to come. You can find the 1st Eagle Dream by clicking this link...   The Eagle Dream - November 14, 2022 (sheryllyork.blogspot.com)  just in case you'd like to read it even before you read this one. Here is the 2nd Eagle dream that I had on March 19, 2024... This afternoon I laid down for a nap after going out shopping and I had another Eagle Dream. It was extremely short, and I even forgot

The Eagle Dream - November 14, 2022

  The Dream   I was up high on what I felt was a rooftop, but not of a home. It felt to me to be the top of a high building. I was alone. I saw from a distance an eagle flying toward me and so I kept my focus on it because I just love Eagles and even in the natural see them all the time and watch them. It didn't seem unusual except that I was on top of a rooftop. The eagle began getting larger and larger the closer it got of course because it was coming more and more into my view. It kept coming and the closer it got I could see the coloring on it and the white feathers on its head. It was definitely a bald eagle. It kept coming and coming and it never swayed or swerved at all. It was closer and closer and still coming directly at me. I began to get concerned because it was now so close that I was a little fearful that if it flew into  me,  I was going to be hurt by the  beak, and the talons  not to mention the rest of this majestic  bird's  very large body. It was still coming

Have you ever tried to help God? Blog

  Have you ever tried to help God? Boy have I... lol Have you ever found yourself doing the same? It might be with a family member or even a friend. What about at your church or in a work environment. Although it is true that God uses people it has taken me years to find out that sometimes He simply wants me to leave something in His hands. There are things that He will share with me or talk to me about and He tells me He wants me involved but then there are also times when they are beyond me, and I cannot fix them. I want so much to repair a relationship but cannot seem to repair the breach. I cannot turn the heart of another person only God holds the heart of a king in His hands ( Proverbs 21.1 ). I cannot open their eyes or ears to see in the spirit, God even does that ( 2 Kings 6:17) . I can only be fully committed to inclining my ear   (Proverbs 4:20)  to listen to what my Father is saying. Some time ago I received an email from a subscriber asking if I would add her daughter to m
