I Am Giving You a New Flight Pattern for Your Destination

Lately, an apple a day, giving a prophetic word daily, has turned more into pie making, and giving deeper words led by the Holy Spirit! Apple pie is good, especially for breakfast, but a full pie requires more prep! The Father is responding to my desire to go deeper with Him. Recently, the Father has been teaching me about covert prayer and spiritual movement directed by the Holy Spirit, out of sight from the enemy. The Father reminded me today about an entry he had given me last year about Nicodemus. As Jesus tried to explain to an old man how to see the kingdom by being born again, He also described the movement of the Holy Spirit.
John 3:5-8 TPT “I speak an eternal truth: Unless you are born of water and Spirit-wind, you will never enter God’s kingdom realm. For the natural realm can only give birth to things that are natural, but the spiritual realm gives birth to supernatural life!
“You shouldn’t be amazed by my statement,‘You must be born from above!’ For the Spirit-wind blows as it chooses. You can hear its sound, but you don’t know where it came from or where it’s going. So it is within the hearts of those who are Spirit-born!”
As humans, we have the tendency to take everything at face value and struggle with seeing beyond the earthly realm and into the heavenly spiritual realm. But the Father is opening our eyes up to see like never before! I particularly appreciate how The Passion Translation explains this supernatural access to the Father and to the Kingdom.
The wind, the breath, and the Spirit are moved by mysterious moods and in their own wonderful ways. When you feel their touch and hear their voices you know they are real, but you don’t understand how they flow and move over the earth. John 3:8 [g] TPT
The Father says today,
"My people do not know how valuable they are to each other. You are all of great value to so many people, but you are of greatest value to Me. Look at each other through My eyes, then you will have more room for love. There is no need for competition in my kingdom. You ALL have a specific destiny that I will see you through! Be careful how you speak about each other, you don't want to grieve the same Holy Spirit that is within you, in them. To get there safely in this season, I want to talk to you about FLIGHT PATTERNS! Just as the Holy Spirit moves one way and then the next, that movement is undiscernable by the enemy. Your adversary cannot be moved by the Holy Spirit- no one in rebellion can! Your adversary the Devil doesn't see clearly. Have you heard of blind rage? Well, that's your enemy, blinded by rage because of who you are to Me. When others move by the Spirit, you may not understand, so decide right then and there to have no opinion. That is a conscious act of humility, and up you go into the atmosphere, closer to My kingdom!
"There are many in the body who have suffered great rejection. I am changing the shame into FAME and sorrow into SOARING! For far too long my eagles have been dragging their wings in the dust, not knowing which direction to go because they aren't using the sight I have given to them. Their eyes have been downcast and they are looking through the dust of despair for so long that they have come to believe this is all I have for them. Not true," says the Father, "today I am lifting up the eyes of those who have been downcast, I am blowing the fresh wind of promise and clearing the air. Eagles can't see clearly when they are on the ground, but when they are in full flight they have an eagle eye perspective!
"There are those in the body who carry the vision and the direction for my people, who like Moses, are called to lead a people into freedom and out of captivity. The enemy has been so diligent on destroying these VISIONARIES! But I am preparing to lift them up out of the dust of despair and into their destiny like never before- they will be called upon to lead and teach in the same way a captain is called to steer a ship. The visionaries- the mystics of my heart, hold the compass to the map I am placing before my people for this season!
The Father reminded me of a vision He gave me a few months back while at an Eagles Gathering Conference. I was wide awake when I had this vision!
In the vision, I am in Creede, Colorado, an old mining town in the Rocky Mountains. I am at a crossroads, if I turn left I can go back to town, if I turn right I can go to Lake City, another town deeper in the mountains. I remember the words from another prophet who called me the day before, "Don't look left or right but keep your focus straight ahead on the Lord." I look straight ahead in my vision.
I see a road I never noticed before. I step off the paved road and onto a dirt path and find myself in a desert. It is fine with dried grass on either side. I look ahead down the dirt road and in the distance I see Jesus. I start running toward him feeling my body getting stronger the further I run. Then I look down at my feet wondering if my feet are hinds feet and if I am running like a deer. Suddenly I lift off the earth and I have talons. I am an eagle flying to My Master. Jesus is before me- His arm is outstretched waiting for me. As I get closer I see that he is now riding a horse. I land on his arm, He's wearing a leather glove so I can land safely. He looks at me with such love and says, "There you are Lady Hawk."
I am taken back to the story of Ladyhawke and the corruption by the bishop of Aquila to rob

the Captain of the Guard of his love, Isabeau, by cursing them so they can never be together- she the hawk by day and he a wolf by night. Only now I am the Bride of Christ and the Bishop is the enemy and a symbol of religion that divides. The Bishop appears so close to me in my vision like he is pressing himself through the vision itself to get to me. I see the disgust on his face against My Master and lust and desire and even greed on his face when he looks at me. I understand that this is how he looks at the Bride of Christ. I am looking through my eagle's eyes but suddenly my vision shifts and I look down. Other eagles litter the desert floor and I begin to become sorrowful and I start to slip off of My Master's arm. He interrupts my sorrow when He says, "Don't look down there, keep your gaze on me." I look up into His eyes and I am immediately strengthened and reposition myself on his arm. When I look forward, I see other eagles riding their Master's arms just like me. I see blue vapors rise up from the ground and Eagles come to life on my left and white puffs rise up on my right side and eagles rise up and come back to life. They lift up off the ground and take flight. I look forward again and see the most beautiful lush green land with all manner of piercing vibrant colors and vegetation all while I am on the arm of my Master and Savior, Jesus. Then the vision is over.
Would you believe that on that same weekend, my husband found a hawk feather and gave it to me? It's true! I walked around with that feather in my back pocket the entire day.
So what does it mean? The most important take away from this vision is the temptation of allowing sorrow to take the place of comfort so that we "slip off our Master's arm." Sorrow is not our portion, but this last season and the immense rejection and suffering have left many in the body of Christ falsely comforted by the reminder of their troubles and by revisiting the familiar feelings of sorrow, weakness, pain, and suffering. When we do that we start to slip off the arm of Jesus. Keep your eyes on him and your eyes will see extraordinary and dynamic things in the Spirit, beyond what is before you now.
When we move by the Spirit, we are directed by the Spirit and our adversary the Devil has no way of knowing which way we will go. This is our NEW FLIGHT PATTERN: Moving as the Holy Spirit moves. It might not make sense at the time, just like eating Manna off the ground, but it will be the very thing needed at that moment! You'll zig and when the enemy comes at you, the Holy Spirit will direct you a different way and you'll zag and the enemy will run smack dab into himself! The tendency is to continue to do things out of habit, tradition, and ritual. While there is some value in all of those things, the Father is wanting His children to be free from those yokes so they can fly above the enemy's schemes and enter the promised land fully alive!

The Father is breaking patterns of thinking, habits of worshipping, traditional means by which we learn just to name a few. The habitual patterns of doing things have stunted the growth of the Body of Christ. When I asked the Lord how will we fly He answered, "Humility. Humility will be the strongest wind current that will lift my people up from out of the dust of despair. Humble yourself and ask for help when you need it, humble yourself and help others when needed. Humility takes the greatest amount of bravery, courage, and strength. I have said to you to love others as you want to be loved, add to that forgive others as you want to be forgiven! Humble yourselves and you will be lifted up to the highest heights with me," says the Father.
Isaiah 57:15-18 (TPT)
For this is what the high and majestic one says, the one who fills the eternal realm with glory, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in high and holy places but also with the bruised and lowly in spirit, those who are humble and quick to repent. I dwell with them to revive the spirit of the humble, to revive the heart of those who are broken over their sin. You will not find me continually accusing them[b] or holding anger against them, lest they feel defeated and lose heart before me.
For I am the One who gave the breath of life to my people.
"The many Fruits of the Spirit will nourish you and lift you so high and make you stronger. Familiarize yourself with the Fruits of the Spirit, taste each one! You will soar in the hights with me as you do this, and your flight pattern will send the enemy running ragged so confused by your responses. I lift up the humble so they can soar with me. I am calling you up higher- the winds of humility surround you now, catch the wave of faith refreshed and you will see yourself rise up out of the despair, you will see the curse of division abolished and the promotion by the enemy to keep you in sorrow removed as far as the night is from the day and the east is from the west. I breathe upon you now, rise up and take flight. In this new era, My Bride will refuse the arm of another: another doctrine, another conference, another building, another distraction. She will cling to My arm, know her worth, her value, her strength and only go where I go. My Bride will know her authority and move one in Spirit with Me, fully unified. That is why the battle has been so tenuous.
...may your awakening breath blow upon my life until I am fully yours. Breathe upon me with your Spirit wind. Song of Songs 4:15 TPT
"It's time for a new movement, a NEW FLIGHT PATTERN! In the days to come, I am going to ask those who are listening to do some extraordinary things. I am going to give new and witty inventions of sound, revelation, and understanding, but it isn't going to come in the same way in which you are accustomed. My healing power comes when people pray when people move and activate flight upon my Wind Current through faith. I want you to step out in such boldness, take flight and go where no one has gone before. If the Spirit will give you just the right things to say before your accusers (Mark 13:11) don't you think I will also give you the new idea and how to express that idea? I will give you the words to share the vision! I will give you the art, the film, the characters- the mode of delivery will manifest before your eyes as you see clearly and precisely from your eagle's eye vantage within My kingdom realm. It is within you! Go now. Insecurity is only pride dressed up like sorrow. Look into My eyes, reposition yourself on My arm, says the Lord, and see My pride in you displace all insecurities. I love you and I believe in you! This is YOUR TIME to SOAR! You've got this- you're My Beloved! says the Bridegroom King!
The Passion Translation Your life flows into mine, pure as a garden spring. A well of living water springs up from within you, like a mountain brook flowing into my heart! [ The Shulamite Bride ] Then may your awakening breath blow upon my life until I am fully yours. Breathe upon me with your Spirit wind. Stir up the sweet spice of your life within me. Spare nothing as you make me your fruitful garden. Hold nothing back until I release your fragrance. Come walk with me as you walked with Adam in your paradise garden. Come taste the fruits of your life in me. [ The Bridegroom-King ] I have come to you, my darling bride, for you are my paradise garden! [ The Shulamite Bride ] Come walk with me until I am fully yours. Come taste the fruits of your life in me.
