The Vision by Rick Joyner Episode 29
Faith to Move the Mountain
EPISODE 29
Sitting down by the eagle, I pondered his words. Finally I remarked, "I know that Wisdom now speaks to me through you, because I hear His voice when you speak. I was so sure of myself before that last battle, but I was almost carried away with the same presumption that they were carried away with.
I could very easily have been captured with them if Wisdom had not stopped me.
"I was motivated more by hatred for the enemy than by the desire to set my brothers free. Since coming to this mountain and fighting in the great battle, I now think that most of the right things I did, I did for the wrong reasons; and many of the wrong things I did, I had good motives for.
The more I learn, the more unsure of myself I feel."
"You must have been with Wisdom a long time," the eagle responded.
"He was with me a long time before I began to recognize Him, but I am afraid that most of that time I was resisting Him.
Somehow I now know I am still lacking something very important, something I must have before I go into battle again-but I do not know what it is."
The great eagle's eyes became even more penetrating as he responded, "You also know the voice of Wisdom when He speaks to you in your own heart. You are learning well, because you have the mantle. What you are feeling now is true faith."
"Faith?" I shot back. "I'm talking about serious doubts!"
"You are wise to doubt yourself. True faith depends on God, not on you and not even on your faith. You are close "However, you are right that you are still lacking something very important. You must yet have a revelation.
Even though you have climbed to the top of the mountain and received from every truth along the way; and have stood in the Garden of God and tasted of His unconditional love; and have seen His Son many times now -you still understand only a part of the whole counsel of God, and that only superficially."
I knew that this was true, and it was actually comforting to hear it. "I have judged so many people and so many situations wrongly!" I exclaimed. "Wisdom has saved my life many times now, but the voice of Wisdom is still a very small voice within me, and the clamor of my own thoughts and feelings are still far too loud. I hear Wisdom speaking through you much louder than I hear Him in my own heart, so I know I must stay very close to you."
"We are here because you need us," the eagle repli
"We are also here because we need you. You have been given gifts I do not have, and I have been given gifts you do have. You have experienced things I have not experienced and I have experienced things that you have not. The eagles have been given to you until the end, and you have been given to us. I will be very close to you for a time, and then you must receive other eagles in my place. Every eagle is different. It is together, not individually, that we have been given to know the secrets of the Lord."
