Reed's Reads of Wisdom Wednesday™:Supernatural Strength: Flying Without Wings

There are moments in every life when the only direction left to go is up. Not because of strength, not because of strategy, but because of faith. When the world below becomes consumed by chaos, destruction, and despair, some are chosen to rise above—not on wings of flesh, but on the wind of divine empowerment.

In Chapter 8 of S.O.L.A.D.™ Book I: No Mercy: Part One, we witness a powerful shift. Kevin Edwards and Juanita Grayson, ordinary young adults by earthly standards, step fully into their destinies as the superheroes Angelo™ and Angeline™: Soldiers of Lighr Against Darkness™. Through faith, they soar. Not by science. Not by technology. But by supernatural strength.

This week's Reed's Reads of Wisdom Wednesdays™ post explores what it means to "fly without wings." To rise above tragedy and trial. To walk in divine power when your own feet can no longer carry you. To believe, when belief is the only thing you have left.

Taking Flight By Faith

For Kevin Edwards and Juanita Grayson, becoming Angelo and Angeline wasn’t just about transformation—it was about total surrender to something greater. Their elevation into the sky, hovering without wings, began long before the rings glowed or the wind lifted them. It began the moment they believed.

When Angelo and Angeline were faced with the destruction of the Village of St. Louis, there was no playbook, no aircraft, no physical wings. Only Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Those words weren’t just comfort—they were propulsion.

Reed's Wisdom: Your calling won’t always come with a manual, but it will always come with a mission. Faith is your fuel.

📖 Supporting Scripture: Isaiah 40:31 – “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles…”

✅ Declaration: I rise in strength not my own. I soar by the power of the Spirit. I can do all things through Christ.

🛫 Takeaway: When you surrender to God’s purpose, faith becomes your lift-off point.

Soaring Through the Impossible

Angelo grinned like a boy granted superpowers as he hovered in the air, controlled and confident. Angeline, by contrast, wobbled through the skies, disoriented but determined. Their uneven start didn't matter. They were flying.

That’s how supernatural strength works. It doesn’t wait for perfection. It manifests in obedience. Angeline's courage to keep going, even upside down and spinning, was just as powerful as Angelo's precision flight. She was learning to fly in the midst of war, and her faith kept her airborne.

Reed's Wisdom: God doesn't require perfection before elevation. He honors your willingness to rise.

📖 Supporting Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”

✅ Declaration: I may wobble, but I will not fall. My obedience invites God’s power.

🛫 Takeaway: Don’t wait to feel ready. Trust and rise—even if you rise clumsily.

Heaven-Fueled Warfare

When No Mercy unleashed his horror on the innocent, it wasn’t brute strength that won the day. It was the divine power flowing through Angelo and Angeline. Despite being knocked down, hurled through concrete, and nearly devoured by demonic fire, they stood up. They rose. They fought.

Flight, in this case, was both literal and spiritual. They flew above circumstances that would have crushed others. Their obedience to the call made them a threat to darkness. Even in pain, they wielded light. Even wounded, they launched into battle.

Reed's Wisdom: Spiritual flight means rising above fear, trauma, and failure to fulfill your purpose.

📖 Supporting Scripture: Psalm 18:29 – “For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.”

✅ Declaration: I rise from the rubble of pain to declare war on darkness. I fight with heaven’s backing.

🛫 Takeaway: Wounds may come, but they do not disqualify you from battle.

Faith in Tandem: The Power of Partnership

Angelo and Angeline didn't just fly on their own. They flew together. When Angeline faltered, Angelo turned back. When Angelo was struck down, Angeline rose in defense. Their bond became part of their strength. Their unity—both as friends and as warriors—was a weapon.

They carried one another, literally and figuratively. In moments when one could not fly, the other became their wings. This is supernatural strength in community.

Reed's Wisdom: Sometimes your faith takes flight because someone else believes with you. Don’t fly solo when you were made to soar in sync.

📖 Supporting Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 – “Two are better than one… For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.”

✅ Declaration: I don’t rise alone. God sends strength through partnership. I am never without backup.

🛫 Takeaway: God often pairs purpose with partnership—honor the people who fly with you.

When Belief Becomes Breakthrough

Kevin and Juanita didn't learn to fly because they were worthy. They learned because they believed. In a world torn apart by darkness, their belief was a supernatural act of defiance. It said: We trust God more than we fear demons. We believe in light more than we fear death.

That belief activated the power within them. They took flight not because of what they had, but because of who they trusted.

Reed's Wisdom: Breakthrough begins the moment you believe God over everything else. Your wings are built on trust.

📖 Supporting Scripture: Mark 9:23 – “All things are possible to him who believes.”

✅ Declaration: I believe boldly. I believe consistently. My belief brings breakthrough.

🛫 Takeaway: Power is activated not by possession, but by belief.

Final Thoughts: The Call to Rise

There’s a storm in every chapter of your purpose. There are demons you never expected and battles you never wanted. But you were born to rise. Like Angelo and Angeline, you have access to power not of this world. The question is, will you believe enough to fly?

When God calls you to elevate, there may be no parachute, no wings, and no visible runway. But there will be grace. And grace is enough.

Reed's Wisdom: If you believe, you will rise. If you rise, you will fly. If you fly, you will never be the same.

📖 Supporting Scripture: Habakkuk 3:19 – “The Sovereign Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, He enables me to tread on the heights.”

✅ Declaration: I rise by grace. I soar by trust. My calling is higher than my fear.

🛫 Takeaway: Don’t let earthly limits define a heavenly calling.
