In my last update, I promised to share with you
about the amazing visitation that Pastor Shelley had on
July 14th, the night before his campmeeting started.
For him, it was just as physically real as the angel with the robe
of fire that sat in his truck a few weeks before.
Here is a summary of the testimony he shared with
his congregation the next morning:
White Eagle
Visitation
I had fallen
asleep on my back, which I rarely can do. I don’t think I’d
been asleep more than forty minutes when I
heard the sound of something landing on the roof
- "k-fump." I listened to hear if a squirrel fell out of
the tree, or if I could hear anything scratching and
moving, because we live in the country.
 I looked down on my chest and
there were two red lights on my chest.
And I want
you to know that my heart stopped pumping blood for at least a
few seconds because the only thing I can think of that it reminded
me of is what you’ve seen in the movies - the laser of a
gun! But there were two of them.
And for a split
second, that’s all I could think of - "Someone has got their
sights on me!" I started to scream for my wife, but then I
thought I had to bear this alone, whatever it was.
It’s amazing
how our human reaction often kicks in first before our spiritual
senses. My first reaction was a human reaction. It was one of
great fear. But in a few seconds, my spiritual senses kicked
in and I knew it was the holy Presence of the
Lord.
But why two red
lights? You know, I could even hear it in my spirit - "You’re
the target. This is not a mistake."
And after a little
while, it dawned on me that I should look up and see what these
two lights are coming from.
You know, you’re slow to react.
 And hovering over our bed, right above
me, was an enormous white eagle, his wingspread as wide as our queen-size bed.
He was so dashingly white - brilliant white. And those two red lights were like beams
coming right out of His eyes.
I had the feeling
that if I spoke to him, he would speak to me, as an eagle, a
bird, but I couldn’t think of anything to
say.
And to tell
you how real it was, I was aware of the fact that my
hair, which is pretty short, was blowing because he was
just moving his wings like this - not
fast, just like this. But it was creating enough wind that it
was blowing. I’m almost looking up under
his belly.
And I looked
around the room and saw that other things were moving.
There was a paper stuck underneath my laptop on the dresser
hanging out over the edge of the bed, and it was
moving because of the wind that this eagle
created. And then he was gone.
He
didn’t say anything. I didn’t say
anything.
And I
don’t even know what to say about it except to tell you that those
who have followed the ministry here for years know that God
has given us precious promises concerning the coming of a white
eagle and what he would represent.
The Trail
of the White Eagle
God often takes
prophetic symbols and has them impact our lives at various
stages of our faith journey and at special times in His great plan
for His Bride worldwide. The "white eagle" has been such a
symbol to Pastor Shelley and to his congregation. Perhaps
it has become special to you, too!
When Pastor Shelley had
this powerful visitation, he felt that it was a sign that
the Bride's revival, also called the manifestation of the Sons
of the Kingdom, is at hand!
What follows is a
little bit of background regarding the white eagle.
Bro. Branham's Experience - "Eagle" Written in White
Quartz
In a sermon called
"On the Wings of a Snow-white Dove," 1965-11-28,
about a month before Bro. Branham died, he tells about an experience
he just had while climbing in the mountains near his home in Tucson,
Arizona.
The Lord told him to
lay his hands against a big rock and pray. Then he heard a
Voice ask him what he was leaning against. When he turned around and looked, the
word "Eagle" was written in white quartz. This
is the picture he took the next day.
He had previously had a
vision that the next very important Message
from the Lord would come forth by a white
eagle led by a dove.
The Lord was revealing
to him that the Bride's revival, which he had been
preaching about and longed to see, was on the
way. He did not live on earth to see it because
he was a Moses, not a Joshua.
Pastor Shelley's Trance Visions of the White
Eagle
After he shared his
night experience of the white eagle flying over his bed, Pastor
Shelley continued:
 In a major trance vision years
ago, I saw a brown eagle leading a
white dove. Then there came a white dove
leading a white eagle. I find that so
amazing because in that vision God gave us the definition of the white dove as
a true genuine baptism of the Holy Spirit that
would follow Bro. Branham's ministry. It would take
a prophetic gift to introduce people to a faith that would bring
them to the genuine baptism of the Holy Ghost.
And when the genuine
baptism of the Holy Ghost, represented by a white dove, came to the
Body, the Bride, it would prepare the people’s hearts for a
white eagle, which would be a pure Word to
transform us into the image of the sons of God.
So I won’t give any
other interpretations now except to say that I believe that
we’re entering into that spiritual
season.
In the last trance vision I had,
I rode on the back of a white eagle [which
took him into the heavenly realms]. On
his feathers there were messages. And I read
his feathers.
In another trance vision that Pastor Shelley had in
1996, the saints were struggling to climb
spiritual Mount Zion. They were encouraged to climb
higher by seeing the white dove (Holy Spirit) circling around
the top, but could not seem to reach the top.
Suddenly, the
white eagle came and carried the saints, who were at all
different levels, to the top where they would all have the virtues
of the Lord.
(Exo
19:4) Ye have seen what I did unto the
Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and
brought you unto
myself.
In 2000, Pastor Shelley had a trance
vision of a white eagle dropping a pyramid-shaped
rock into a river. After time passed, the rock rose up and
the white eagle carried it to the top of spiritual Mount
Zion. The rock represented the Capstone,
the Lord Himself, the Head, being placed on His perfected
Body.
(Zec
4:7) Who art thou, O
great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou
shalt become a plain:
and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof
with shoutings, crying, Grace,
grace unto it.
In the middle of the night one
night during the campmeeting, Pastor Shelley had recurring
visions of the pyramids in Egypt. And then he heard a Voice
saying, "Look, look! It's been capped! It has
the headstone!" [The Great Pyramid has no headstone,
but is flat on top.]
What the White Eagle
Represents
In subsequent services,
Pastor Shelley shared various things about the
significance of the white eagle. Here are some of
them:
Eagle Traits Coming on the
Bride - The Bride will have the
traits of an eagle - clear spiritual eyesight, keen sense of hearing
spiritually, skilled in hunting for fresh spiritual meat, ability to
fly high in the Spirit above the storm, able to look directly unto
the Son to escape her enemies, and gives a loud, clear
warning.
Prophetic
Anointing - The Bride of
Y'shua is going to step into a true prophetic
anointing. It will no longer be limited to an elite group of
people.
Searching Our Base Nature - Bob Jones told Pastor Shelley that the red beams
from the eyes of the white eagle represent the Lord searching our
base nature to see if it has a hold of us or we have a hold of
it. Pastor Shelley had a similar experience when he was in a
conference in Tucson and spiritual lightning struck the chair
between his legs.
Fullness of the Revelation of the
Lord - The red beams
targeting Pastor Shelley's lung area represents the fullness of
the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ coming to the Bride,
according to Bob Jones. He said that it also represents the
seven Spirits of God beginning to manifest in us. Many years
ago the Lord revealed to Pastor Shelley that the white eagle
represented Y'shua living in His Bride.
The left lung represents a brand new anointing that is
coming. The right lung represents a new level of
maturity and growth, and a new level of faith to use the silver
bit that the Lord wants to put in our mouths to bridle our
tongues. Once our tongues are bridled, Fire will come and
we will speak Words of Life.
Something Big Coming - The appearance of the white eagle in a manifested,
real-life form, not just in a trance vision as before, signifies
that God is getting ready to do something big!
More
Revelation Coming - The fullness of
Y'shua comes in the revelation of His Word. A higher
level of revelation is on the way. Fresh revelation on the
Word He has given will raise us up and cause us to walk in the
anointing of the seven Spirits of God (the way Y'shua walked) and
speak Words of God that will create what is on God's
heart.
During the campmeeting, Paul Keith Davis said that
there's a Message of the Kingdom coming that has no precedent, and
we will be shaken by what is coming! He said that there are
places and people being prepared through which the Message will come
forth. A revelation of Truth will sanctify us.
Release of the Bride's
Revival - Under divine inspiration,
Bro. Branham said that the Bride has not had a true revival yet and
that it would take the revelation of the seven unknown thunders to
wake her up again. He said that the Lord will send it because
He promised it [The Third Seal, 1963-03-20]. This
dramatic appearance of the white eagle encourages us that this time
is close at hand.
Podcasting - the Next Revolution
Sadhu Sundar
Selvaraj, a very anointed man of God from India and
Singapore, had this divine experience regarding
podcasting:
During a forty days fast
an angelic being appeared before me while I was waiting on the Lord
on March 3, 2007. He glanced at the iPod player lying on the
desk beside the bed. He took it in his hand, examined it and
said, "Podcasting is going to be the
next revolution in broadcasting the Word of God. Begin it
now."
We are pleased to announce
that Pastor Shelley has now joined the podcasting
revolution with his new Eagle Cast - his
weekly The Eagle's Cry broadcast
now available as a podcast on iTunes. The
Lord miraculously just supplied the funds for a new computer that
has the ability to enable detailed program editing and produce
good quality podcasts easily.
Just go to www.revival.org,
click on the Eagle
Cast button on the left side
of the home page, and it will bring you to a webpage to enable you
to download the iTunes program if you do not yet
have it on your computer, or to a page where you can hit the
Subscribe button for the Eagle
Cast. (After you download iTunes, click on the
Eagle Cast button again to enable you to
subscribe.)
More and more spiritual
leaders are creating podcasts now. Two of my other favorite
podcasts are from Neville Johnson (www.lwf.org.au) and Sadhu
Sundar Selvaraj (www.jesusministries.org).
In Closing
We are
so grateful to those who gave donations to help us
with our living expenses! Unfortunately,
we still do not have enough money to pay our quarterly rent which
was due two weeks ago.
Many ministries would love to
have a representation in Jerusalem, but feel they are unable to
afford it. We have a mandate from the Lord to continue
the prophetic psalmist ministry of Sister Ruth Heflin in
Jerusalem and to proclaim from Jerusalem the Word
of the Lord and what the Lord is doing!
So
we are "passing the plate" again, praying that the
Lord will lay it upon your heart to help us carry out our
mandate! If you can help, perhaps
you could make an online donation today. Every
amount is a blessing and will add up! Thank you so, so much in
advance!
(Rev
4:7) And the first beast
was like a lion, and the second beast like
a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the
fourth beast was like a
flying eagle.
We are in the Age of
the Flying Eagle! May we
all reach up to embrace and receive all that the appearance of the
white eagle represents!
Many Blessings from
Jerusalem!
