The Secret of Sustained Supernatural Strength

The Secret of Sustained Supernatural Strength 

Study Text: Isaiah 40:31

Introduction:

- Every believer encounters moments of exhaustion — when prayers seem delayed, when strength feels drained, and when hope is faint.

- But our God is not the God of the ground; He is the God of the great heights.

- He calls us not to crawl in defeat but to climb and soar in dominion.

-This verse is a spiritual strategy for supernatural strength and a divine flight manual for the believer.

- We shall be discussing the topic under three subheadings:

 1.  The Portrait of an Amazing Bird

2.  The Patience of an Aspiring Believer

3.  The Power of an Awesome Benefactor 

1.  The Portrait of an Amazing Bird 

- The eagle is Heaven’s chosen emblem of spiritual excellence. It is not a common bird, but a creature of covenant altitude.

- There are four key portraits of an eagle:

1.  Vision – The eagle sees far. You cannot fly higher than your vision. (Proverbs 29:18)

2.  Vitality – The eagle is strong and resilient. (Psalm 103:5)

3.  Victory – The eagle rules the skies; no rival, no equal. (Job 39:27-29)

4.  Renewal – The eagle renews itself by shedding old feathers for new strength.

- Beloved, to rise like the eagle, you must see like the eagle, think like the eagle, and feed like the eagle.

- When storms come, most birds hide — but the eagle embraces the tempest. It stretches its wings, faces the wind, and lets the current lift it above the clouds.

- Storms don’t stop eagles; they strengthen them. Adversity doesn’t crush destiny; it confirms it.

- The same wind that destroys other birds delivers the eagle. Your storm is not a sentence; it is a setup for soaring.

- The storms of life reveal your spiritual altitude. When you rise above the winds of fear, you discover the wings of faith.

2.  The Patience of an Aspiring Believer 

- Waiting on the Lord is not wasting time, it is warfare in stillness.

- It means positioning yourself in prayer, purity, and patience until divine power descends.

- Waiting births wisdom. Waiting births wonder. Waiting births wings.

- The Hebrew word for “wait” (qavah) means “to intertwine,” like strands of rope twisted together. When you wait on God, your weakness intertwines with His strength — your humanity connects to His divinity.

-  Waiting is the runway of soaring saints.

- To renew is to exchange, to drop the depleted and receive the divine.

- You cannot soar on stale strength; you need fresh fire for fresh flight.

- How renewal happens:

1.  Through prayer — the secret place is the strength place.

2.  Through the Word — revelation releases rejuvenation.

3.  Through worship — intimacy invites infusion.

- When you spend time with God, you come out with wings.

3.  The Power of an Awesome Benefactor 

- When you wait upon the Lord as expected, He gives you power to mount up like the eagle.

- To mount up means to rise above natural limitation into divine elevation.

- Eagles don’t struggle to fly; they ride the wind. Likewise, the believer doesn’t strive in the flesh — we soar in the Spirit.

- Faith is the launchpad. The Spirit is the wind. Grace is the lift.  “The eagle does not fear the storm; it flies into it to rise above it.”

- Beloved, the wind of opposition can become the wind of your elevation,  if you learn how to mount up!

- God’s power is progressive, it doesn’t just lift you; it keeps you moving.

- There are three levels of divine motion:

1. Soaring Strength – “They shall mount up…” indicating Altitude

2. Swift Speed – “They shall run…” indicating Acceleration

3. Steady Stamina – “They shall walk…” indicating Endurance

- Each level requires a deeper dimension of trust.

- Soaring is for vision, running is for mission, walking is for endurance.

- To keep mounting up, you must live by divine discipline. Here are seven  keys to perpetual flight:

1. Prayer – fuels your spirit.

2. Power of the Word – fills your faith.

3. Purity – fortifies your wings.

4. Purpose – focuses your vision.

5. Perseverance – sustains your journey.

6. Partnership with the Holy Spirit – provides divine wind.

7. Praise – keeps your altitude stable.

-  Eagles don’t fly in flocks — destiny requires focus, faith, and flight.

Conclusion:

- Beloved, the Lord is calling His people higher. The time for crawling is over; the wind of the Spirit is blowing.

- Let go of the ground and catch the current of His glory.

- Those who wait on Him will never waste away — they will walk in wonders, run with revelation, and soar with supernatural power. 

- You are born to fly, not to faint. You are destined to soar, not to sink.
