White Eagle

The white eagle was one of the figures that my friend and I had seen in the spiritual realm on a mountain top on a recent Arkansas trip. That visual seemed to stay etched into my memory and on my mind as time went on. Why was the eagle white? I knew that The Lord would reveal the answer to me, and that it would not be too far away, and He did..

While sitting in my kitchen one morning a few weeks later, I began to see forms SUDDENLY developing on my kitchen cabinets. They were POPPING out everywhere! I reached for the telephone to call my prayer partner and traveling friend. I began to describe to her what I was seeing in the SPIRITUAL realm. There was a variety of different scenes becoming VISABLE to my eyes. The young Indian male warrior with his single split feather and the chief and his full head gear could both be seen clearly now. Then there was the totem pole, the t-pee with the smoke coming out of its ceiling. Oh my goodness, the mountain top canvas was now coming alive on my kitchen cabinets and den walls. Oh great, even the hamburger demon was now looking down at me from the cabinet above my kitchen sink. This was the only one that really troubled me...Who was he and what did he represent? Why was I seeing him?

My den now was a canvas full of running horses, rabbits, dogs, wolves, birds, and yes the soaring WHITE EAGLE. The same things that we had see on on the mountain top was now with me in my home. I would close my eyes, when I would reopen them, the figures were all still there. I have Apache Indian blood running through my veins. I began to believe that these scenes had SOMETHING to do with my Indian heritage, or someone else's, and they did....

Within that week, I had received a special invitation to go hear a guest preacher in a nearby town. As I entered the small building, a man in a white suit caught my attention, I heard in my spirit "WHITE EAGLE". It turned out that this man had been adopted and raised by an Apache Indian tribe. He was sharing his life story with the church congregation. My attention kept focusing on the cross necklace that hung around his neck. After the service had ended, I was led to go ask him what was his Indian name. He grasped the cross and replied "White Eagle". I then shared with him the story of the manifestations on my kitchen cabinets and den walls. His words were "Are you a warrior or ARE you on a warrior's path? You have been signaled out by God and given a special assignment." I did not know the answer...yet...but would later on....

This speaker then seemed to become more interested in talking to me about the different healing rituals that his tribe still practiced. It wasn't long before I KNEW that the figure that had bothered me the most, was known as the witch doctor, or MEDICINE MAN. He began to proclaim that a lot of their spiritual treatments really worked. In a low voice he murmured, "This is something that as preacher of the gospel that I don't normally share." What was I to do with this new found information, if anything?

I researched my encyclopedias and found pictures that looked identical to the ones that had seen manifest on the mountain top turn around and my home walls. With this new revelation, I now realized that only God could continue to guide and lead me and answer all of my questions.

The PREACHER MAN had asked me "Are you a WARRIOR or are you on a WARRIOR'S path? Many years later, I have that answer.....I am a PRAYER WARRIOR on the path that God has destined for me. I am like that WHITE EAGLE, I am free to soar by The Holy Spirit where ever The Lord instructs me to go. The White Eagle represents THE HOLY SPIRIT. In another story, I will share THE GIFT OF HEALING...
