The legendary phoenix is an intriguing creature.
The phoenix is a mythological bird for many, that resurrects, a mortal bird whose life is renewed in fire.
The phoenix is renewed to new life and a new existence after it's old life is burnt away.
I believe phoenix exist.
The life of Jesus the Christ was very phoenix like in that He resurrected.
The phoenix is a bird associated with renewal and resurrection power which Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit produces and gives.
The phoenix's intrigue and uniqueness is that it is associated with fire, a burning bird!
With similarities to an eagle, the phoenix renews itself even as an eagle does when the eagle flies on to the highest mountain top it can find to undergo renewal to emerge almost brand new.
The phoenix also undergoes renewal from what can be seen as its death.
Phoenix are as real as eagles are!
If eagles exist, phoenix exist!
There is something very spiritual about the phoenix just like eagles are.
A phoenix is a more dainty, colorful, elegant version of the eagle, it's structure and elegance makes it have a certain peacock like kind of form.
The phoenix is associated with immortality.
Human beings have spirits and our spirit man is our true essence which is immortal like our God- the Father of all spirits the immortal One.
The phoenix is associated with fire, flames of fire.
Fire is one of the symbols or representations of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit as flames or tongues of fire appeared on the head of all those in the upper room on the day of Pentecost which is believed to be the day of the church's birth.
The phoenix rises from the ashes.
Like the phoenix, God would have us shake the 'ashes' off our lives and rise out of them.
Ashes can represent anything negative from sin, the flesh, the works of the enemy, our unpleasant past, the enemy's bites and attack e.t.c
The phoenix is also associated with healing.
It's believed the tears of the phoenix brings healing.
God heals us through the stripes of Jesus Christ.
He heals us emotionally, physically, and spiritually, He heals every area of lives where we need healing, He does it in faith, with His word, by our belief and sometimes in time.
The phoenix is a symbol of rebirth.
The new birth or born again is rebirth in its simplest definition.
It is God making all things new in our lives, it is being born anew by God's spiritual adoption.
The phoenix in some cultures, particularly the Egyptian culture is linked to the sun.
The rays of the sun is good for our bodies, our health, our earth, the plants and animals.
Jesus is called the Sun of righteousness whose wings has rays that bring healing.
The phoenix is linked to resurrection and eternal life.
Jesus is the resurrection and the life!
He is the resurrection and the life not just by words but by action and life's experience!
He is the giver of eternal life and resurrects the dead for He is the God of the living not the dead!
Obviously the phoenix is a very useful birth with many attributes and correlations to the essences of the Christian faith.
These are not mere coincidences, the phoenix is as real as dragons are, they are as real as unicorns are, they are as real as aliens are, they are as real as the dinosaurs were, they are as real as angels are, and they are as real as the kingdom of God; even the kingdom of heaven is.
I'm sure the phoenix will be a special bird in the kingdom of heaven, having a special place to the Lord among the birds of heaven.
God loves birds.
He created them, He provides for them.
May we rise to new heights, new life, and new glories like a phoenix by the spirit, even Spirit of God.
Amen.
