EYES AND WINGS

And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and is and is to come (Revelations 4:8) Knowledge of a thing is not possession of it! Merely understanding a prophetic revelation that has the potential to produce a holy revolution within the individual, the Church, and the world isn’t enough …

revelation requires activation.

Martin Luther, for example, received a powerful revelation from the Lord, but the revelation itself 5

EyEs and Wings

did not transform Christianity – his actions did.

Martin Luther is known as both a Revolutionary and a Reformer because he acted upon the revelation he received and brought a revolution that led to the Reformation.

We need both prophetic revelation (eyes to see) and apostolic action (wings) to propel us toward a prophetic outcome.

In the mid-1990s, Prophetess Stacey Campbell uttered a profound prophetic word during a prayer meeting in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada — a word that impacted me greatly. The following is a summarized and edited version of that word.1

“EyEs and Wings ProPhEcy”

through stacey campbell

What Ezekiel kept seeing was “eyes”

everywhere. There were wheels and they had eyes all the way around them. There were eyes everywhere. And then, the verse with all the “wings” ... wings on the front and the back.

1 The full version is recorded on Wesley and Stacey Campbell’s CD

entitled, Extreme Disciples.

EyEs and Wings

I have this sense that the Lord is showing me that everybody is looking for a model, but there are no models. And the whole Church knows that something is up but they don’t know where to go and they don’t know how to get there!

And I feel like there’s knowledge without the ability to get anywhere, and the Lord is calling us with the eyes and wings: 1.)

To see what the Lord is doing and 2.)

To give it wings to get there.

And I feel like the Lord is calling us to begin to model – Eyes and Wings – what to do and how to get there! And then we have to give the people eyes and wings.

There are times and seasons in the Church, when there’s a lot of unrest, but someone’s got to do it differently. Somebody’s got to break totally out of the mold. Somebody’s got to create a container for the time… And they can’t go to the past to look for it. Some of it’s never been done before.

Have I not said throughout My Word …

EYES To SEE

As Stacey’s prophecy declared, and most people would agree, we are at a critical time in history. We need eyes to see where the Lord is leading His church and we need wings to get there. We know theologically that light overpowers darkness and that righteousness wins the battle over wickedness. Yet, looking around, we see a world filled with moral and spiritual decay. Our culture is contending for entitlements that are opposed to the teachings of the Scriptures — campaigning to endorse the homosexual lifestyle and to redefine marriage to include same sex unions, to promote abortion as a legitimate means of birth control, to legalize the use of marijuana, and much more.

9

EyEs and Wings

Plagues of sexual immorality, greed, corruption, entitlement, and deception have even infiltrated the Church. Numerous church leaders have fallen from their holy callings and forsaken their beliefs in sound doctrine. Many church attendees have become complacent and worldly-minded, and have lost trust in their spiritual leaders. Others have refused to come under spiritual authority and have become their own authority, becoming a law unto themselves.

Where is this all going? Where will we end up? What can we do about it?

As believers, we do not want to focus on the negative, yet the outcome for mankind should these trends persists seems certain and bleak: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life (Galatians 6:7,8).

To escape the seemingly inevitable destruction, we need to “see.”

10

EyEs to sEE

We are called to set an example for those who do not know Christ, yet we cannot invite the world to join us on the sinking ship of a worldly, powerless church. We have a mandate to lead the nations into the awesome, holy, and perfect Kingdom of God’s dearly beloved Son; not into a worldly version of that Kingdom, filled with beliefs and behaviors destined for destruction.

Jesus is the perfect King and His Kingdom is amazing.

Everyone is invited to enter and abide in His glorious eternal realm of blessing, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. There is no way but His way! The Church is called to be a light in this dark hour, filled with power, glory, and righteousness. The Church is to emerge in the King’s authority to bring peace in the midst of turmoil and lead the nations to fulfill their destiny.

Prophesying about the last days, John said, “The kingdoms of the world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15 NKJV). The mandate to participate in establishing His Kingdom on earth is not only for the Church leaders of our day but also for you and me. Can we “see” it?

11

EyEs and Wings

Two Things To “see”

It is important that we understand both the great promise God is offering and the potential pitfalls along the way. In military training, ground troops learn to identify the terrain they move through, to tread carefully, and be watchful. Why? Because they may be walking through a minefield. They can lose both their lives and the war if they do not “see” or discern.

However, the troops do not focus entirely on possible mines or even on an enemy that might be lurking behind the bushes. Their primary attention is on accomplishing their mission. They learn to keep their concentration on the intended outcome while staying alert to danger along the way. To be a victor, one cannot place all their attention on the possible problems encountered along the way.

In the same way, our primary focus must be on God’s promises and goodness while, at the same time, discerning the treachery of the times and possible threats that await us.

Prophecy was given to reveal both “promises” and “problems.” God sees everything from the highest 12

EyEs to sEE

perspective and can reveal it all to His prophetic church because we are seated beside Him in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 2:6). We will have the eyes to see the complete picture from His elevated viewpoint when we allow Him to direct our view through prophetic understanding.

To see only the good and refuse to give attention to potential dangers can set us up for a surprise mishap.

On the other hand, focusing primarily on the problems and snares that could defeat us will deprive us from fulfilling our purpose and keep us from embracing and experiencing God’s will for our lives. We must maintain an awareness of the dangers yet remain focused on our purpose.

naTural seeing is noT Believing

Israel was promised deliverance from a land of bondage and a new home in a land “flowing with milk and honey.” This promise was true from the first day it was given but the Hebrews often failed to “see” it.

When faced with difficulties and challenges, they lost sight of their prophetic word.

13

EyEs and Wings

Israel had no difficulty seeing the problems but often failed to “see” God’s solutions. Had they opened the eyes of their understanding by faith, they would have seen the manifestation of His loving, loyal, covenant presence. Even after 40 years of experiencing His goodness every day, they still failed to “see.” As a result, they did not enter their Promised Land even though it was waiting for them just across the river.

In this hour, it is important to “see” the issues, problems, and obstacles but we MUST also (and primarily) “see” God’s prophetic solutions. We need “eyes to see and ears to hear” what God is saying through His prophets in our day.

14

See It … Have It

After Abraham separated from Lot, God took him out on the plains and said:

Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever (Genesis 13:14,15).

It was important for Abraham to see what God was offering him.

In difficult times, God will reveal a prophetic solution.

As we partner with Him in implementing the solution, we will find personal fulfillment and bring Him great glory.

15

EyEs and Wings

Elisha’s servant in 2 Kings 6:14-17, could not see what Elisha saw. Elisha saw a mighty, undefeatable angel army around them while his servant could only see the natural circumstances – and they did not look good!

He saw the armies of Syria that surrounded them.

However, when the servant’s eyes were opened to see the Lord’s provision, it changed everything for him.

The widow in Zarephath (1 Kings 17:9-16) could only see death coming to her and her son as they prepared to eat the last of their food in the midst of a terrible drought. Elijah, however, looking into the realm of the miraculous, saw that her little bit of flour and oil could become an overflow of provision that would provide for them throughout the famine. There was a prophetic solution available in the midst of her crisis – and there always is. Elijah the prophet saw it and worked the miracle. We, too, are called to see and do.

looking Beyond whaT you see

I love buying real estate. In particular, I like to purchase houses that I can fix up. Once, my husband and I acquired a foreclosure that was truly hideous.

16

See It ... Have It

The paint was awful, the flooring was bad, and the cabinetry required work. It was a mess and had been on the market for a long time without an interested investor. I adored the home the moment I entered because I had eyes to see its potential and knew that it did not have to remain as it was – it could be transformed. They practically gave the house to us, and we immediately went to work renovating and redecorating. It became a beautiful, cozy home — all because we had eyes to see.

If transformation can happen with a house, how much more can it happen to a person, a nation, or an entire generation? Can you see your life, your family, your nation thorough God’s potential? Do you see how beautiful the world can be if we pick up the paint brush of faith and purpose and go to work? Can you look beyond what you see right now? Can you see your world renovated into the Kingdom of God on earth?

wiThouT a vision we Perish

As believers, we have the potential to create with God, but to do so we must have vision. The Bible says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish …”

17

EyEs and Wings

(Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Before you build something, you must be able to “see” it as if it were completed.

I believe that before God created the universe, He saw it. Before laying the foundation of the world, He saw His plan of redemption for man. Because of seeing, He could put things in place to bring about His ultimate purpose. God could build toward His purpose because He had eyes to see, and as His child, you can do the same.

In this hour of troublesome times, we need to “see”

prophetically the solutions that will give us hope and victory. Every difficulty can bring forth creative possibilities but we must have prophetic eyes to see them.

The Great Depression was extremely difficult and challenging for most people, and yet for a few it became an opportunity for greatness. A little known fact is that many millionaires were birthed in that season – they had eyes to see beyond the troubled times, and saw to opportunities that made them rich even during a global crisis.

18

Eyes to See Change

Change is difficult for most of us, but a requirement if we are going to move forward and make progress.

I heard a story about a man who became pastor of a church. When he took over, he discovered that he needed to change the location of the piano. He favored his left side so he wanted the pianist to be in his field of vision. He saw the solution – it was easy – simply move the piano to the other side of the platform. He asked some men in the church to help him, and from his perspective, that Sunday everything was in its perfect place for him to minister.

The people, however, could not accept the change and were infuriated. All the years they had attended 19

EyEs and Wings

their church the piano had been in the same place.

They could not believe the new pastor would have the audacity to make such a change. They could not “see” or accept the relocation of the piano and made him move it back. They were stuck in how things had always been and were unwilling to accept a change.

This is an example of how we can be slow to make changes. If we are shortsighted and can “see” only one way of accomplishing something, we could miss valuable opportunities only possible through change and progress.

In Stacey Campbell’s prophecy she proclaimed: Somebody’s got to break totally out of the mold. Somebody’s got to create a container for the time… And they can’t go to the past to look for it. Some of it’s never been done before.

We can only fulfill this prophecy if we are willing to allow the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to “see”

something new. We know things are changing; we can feel and sense it. We see signs of change everywhere but what do those changes look like? What is God’s 20

EyEs to sEE ChangE

plan … His blueprint? In the coming days many eyes will be open to see that blueprint.

The Apostle Paul knew the importance of being able to see. He prayed for the church at Ephesus (a region filled with false beliefs):

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling … (Ephesians 1:17,18

NKJV).

Pray for our eyes to be opened to see the purposes of God for us as individuals, the Church, and for the world in this season.

TransPorTed By eagles

When God promised Israel that He would deliver them out of oppression in Egypt and bring them into their Promised Land, He gave them a prophetic promise, which gave them “eyes to see.” This encouraged them 21

EyEs and Wings

to move toward their destiny. Although they often moved with reluctance and sometimes with resistance, they did move.

Speaking of their deliverance, the Bible says that God brought them out on eagles’ wings: “You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself”

(Exodus 19:4). He gave them eyes to “see” (the prophetic promise) plus “wings” to get there.

The Lord will never frustrate you with a promise that He will not give you the grace to fulfill. Like Israel, He will give you eyes to see and wings to get there. In this hour, we are being invited to see prophetic solutions that will enable us to build a “container for the times.”

Melons or Manna

Israel had never journeyed with God through the wilderness and had no idea how to reach the Promised Land. It was a new experience for them yet all they had to do was “trust and obey” because He led them every step of the way. He provided manna from heaven; they didn’t have to work for their food. They didn’t even have to cook the food or clean up afterward.

22

EyEs to sEE ChangE

Yes, this was a new way! God provided a “container for the times” as they walked through the wilderness.”

Their container was miraculous provision. Every day was filled with supernatural provision: water from a rock, food from heaven, a pillar of glory cloud by day and a pillar of glory fire by night; visitations of the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting; clothes and shoes that never wore out; and fresh meat falling at their feet.

This was certainly different from the lifestyle they had known as slaves – VERY different! As a result, they struggled with their new paradigm. They were used to the security of bondage and the foods they had eaten before. They foolishly cried out to Moses, “We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic” (Numbers 11:5 NASB).

Like Israel in the Wilderness, God will also provide for us during difficult times. Yet we need eyes (to see) and wings (to reach) our goal and fulfill our purpose.

Our job is to hear though the prophetic and have the flexibility and faith to accept change.

23

EyEs and Wings

“This is ThaT”

Do not call to mind the former things; Or ponder the things of the past.

Behold, I will do something new,

Now it will spring forth;

Will you not be aware of it?

I will even make a roadway in the wilderness; Rivers in the desert (Isaiah 43:18,19).

This is God’s promise to us in this hour. However, we cannot cling to the past if we want to see new things spring forth. We must look to Him and prepare ourselves for change.

We have enjoyed modern technology for only a short while. Most reading this book will remember when there were no cell phones. Nothing was digital in those days or operated remotely. Now we have smart phones where you can keep a journal, date book, connect to the internet, navigate to your destination, receive emails, texts messages, and more. How did we get from curly cords, dial phones, and party lines to where we are today? Someone had a vision for it and someone put wings to the vision.

24

EyEs to sEE ChangE

I remember the day I moved from using an electric typewriter to my first computer. We have come a long way in a short time because of those who dared to build a “container for the times.”

The Bible foretold that knowledge would increase in the last days (Daniel 12:4). It also taught that God’s Spirit would be “poured out upon ALL flesh” in the last days … not just on Christians (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17). As a result, even some who do not know the Lord have been or are being positioned to receive insights and knowledge that He is pouring out on the earth. Inventions are literally waiting to be invented.

This kind of knowledge is available to each of us from the Holy Spirit along with the wisdom and counsel to bring it to pass.

God is leading us into a new day where all things are becoming new. God will reveal everything we need to know and show us how to develop and build His plans. This is an exciting hour indeed!

25

Putting Wings

to the Vision

To put it concisely: the prophetic has the vision to see the purposes of God (the eyes) and the apostolic builds and brings form to that which is seen (the wings).

The prophetic and the apostolic are foundational gifts for Kingdom advancement. Every believer has both prophetic and apostolic abilities although only SOME

in the Body are called to the actual offices of prophet and apostle (see Ephesians 4:11-13).

Once we see from God’s perspective, we need a plan of action to bring it to pass, because faith without works is dead! If there are no wings to the vision, then it is only information. As I mentioned earlier, merely 26

Putting Wings to the Vision

receiving a revelation is not possessing it. In the same way the Lord gives us a vision by revelation, He can reveal the plans for implementing the vision. He will give us the “wings” to get there.

PosTured To “see”

Mary of Bethany was one of the few who saw and understood the purpose of the Cross and Christ’s assignment to die for our sins. When she poured perfume on Jesus, He explained that she was preparing Him for His burial. She understood what God was doing and played her part because she had eyes to see, and so can we:

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, “Why this waste? … But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me. For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. For when 27

EyEs and Wings

she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial (Matthew 26:6-12).

How did Mary have such understanding? She sat at His feet listening to His words; she loved His presence.

Martha welcomed Him [Jesus] into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:38-42, emphasis mine) .

If you posture yourself to see, you will “see.” Spend time in His presence and you will receive. As you receive from Him, you will have the plan of action to fulfill what you see as Mary did!

28

Putting Wings to the Vision

In John 15:4-8, Jesus teaches us the power of abiding in Him:

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing … If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

oral roBerTs

Prior to departing for glory and knowing that his time was short, Oral Roberts spent much of his time praying for the next generation of ministers who would carry out the gospel mandate. I had the honor of being in a group he invited to his home to receive prayer and impartation.

We were permitted to ask him a single question.

Mine was, “How did you manage to lead such a massive apostolic ministry including tent and media evangelism, Bible Schools, Universities, the City of 29

EyEs and Wings

Faith Medical Center, as well as author many books, conduct massive missions outreaches and still keep a vibrant devotional life?”

“Oh,” he replied, “That was easy! I made my sacred time with God each day an uncompromised part of my schedule. No one and nothing was allowed to disrupt it!”

He went on to explain that every apostolic mandate he received was birthed during those sacred devotion times. He stated that God never had to ask him twice, and when he said yes, a grace would come to fulfill the mandate along with a plan of action.

Oral Roberts understood the importance of having eyes to see and wings to accomplish God’s desires.

30

The New Company of

Prophets and Apostles

eyes To see

I see a new company of prophets and apostles emerging in the earth, seers who see God’s plans and ways. They are acquainted with His heart, and their vision is clear because they have set their hearts apart for the Him.

They are not attracted by the glitter of worldly fame, fortune, or renown. They only have eyes for the One! They are single in their purpose! This company is being birthed out of the Lord’s presence for they will be seekers of His Love and Truth.

31

EyEs and Wings

This company will not bow to false idols and deceptive doctrines but only have eyes for the truth. They will speak with boldness and the Lord will validate their words with signs and wonders. They will be like an Elijah company – not “career prophets” but men and women with the higher calling of embracing the Cross.

Many will sacrifice the things we consider a “normal life” and be known as those who have completely abandoned themselves to the Lord. They will express that which they see in the spoken word, drama, music, and in other creative forms of expression. They will be bold and uncompromised – they will have “eyes”!

wings To geT There

In addition, I see a company of apostolic leaders who have “wings.” They will lead the people of God into His purposes. They will take the Church into places in the Spirit and realms of knowledge that we have never known and build containers for the times in which we live. The landscape of the Church is changing, and these apostles will carry God’s people on eagles’ wings to our destination.

32

The New CompaNy of propheTs aNd aposTles As the Sons of Issachar were anointed to discern the times and reveal how Israel was to move forward, so today God is calling His people to be filled with this gift. It is a new day. Everything is different. Everything is changing.

According to Isaiah 60:2-3, a dark hour will cover the earth and gross darkness the peoples, but a brilliant light will penetrate the darkness and bring in the greatest harvest ever because God is giving His people “eyes” and “wings”!

Receive your eyes! Receive your wings!

Build a container for the times.
