Soaring or Sailing

Soaring or Sailing
Tuesday, October 11, 2016 by Hannah S. Hunter

Much has crowded my mind and soul this week. Events, nationally and globally, that some of my heart’s dearest connections are involved in, are inundating me with reports. For so long, we have felt such a delay, darkness, and discrediting, and dismay could have overtaken us.

Even so, still, in this moment, there seems to be a physical inertia, there is such a catapulting or leaping upward in the spirit. One of the last words I gave in Kenya before returning to USA was regarding this. We have run through our assigned troops with healing and prophesy. Now we are rising with justice in our wings. No longer do we run. We now carry decrees of justice from the courts of heaven in our wings.

Wings? When did we grow them? When we entered into HIS secret place and rested in HIS shadow. Psalms 91:4a says in the NLT, He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. Many times when JESUS appeared in the Old Testament to some of the giants of faith, they mistook HIM for an angel because of HIS appearance. JESUS was not known to them.

In this season, we grow wings because our feet cannot take us fast enough to our destination. Many are traveling globally swiftly and sometimes without an airplane. When there is justice in our wings, we have a long way to go and must move swiftly. Yet when our wings catch the breeze, they can take us far. They also carry us above the storm and the fray.

The battle is HIS in this season. We do the soaring and carrying. HIS faithful promises are our armor and protection. We hear the battle from the secret place and shadows. When you soar, you may hear and see the battle, but you are not tethered to it.

In Psalms 91, not only does HE rescue from every trap, He then honors us. The CREATOR of everything esteems, gives merit, has regard, and keeps covenant.

On the flip side, some in this season are the tugboats who get to watch the soaring and hear reports of far away exotic places. They may feel bypassed. In the tugboat season, we learn so much that cannot be learned in the soaring. The justice we carry in soaring was gleaned from tugboat times.

Tugboats are the ones who maneuver other vessels by pushing or towing them. We really grow the fruit of the SPIRIT in this season. Some vessels you may want to push under to drown or blow them up. We need to follow our “Captain’s” orders and push or pull when we would rather pontificate.

I love how tugboats move vessels who normally move by themselves or those who, for the present moment, cannot move by themselves. Vessels that once soared to regal places now need a tugboat to maneuver through a crowded harbor or narrow canal. Those who cannot move may not have the power, may be wounded, or may only be able to float without steering, such as oil platforms.

So my fellow sojourners, your venue—whether water or air—is only temporary and fleeting. Let your Captain, Creator, and feather-winged GOD be the ONE who gives orders and makes the way. HE sees the beginning and the end. Let HIM enjoy the journey with you. After all HE delights to be with you.
