<TITLE>15. Par 56-58</TITLE>L-56 If you look anywhere you can see God. You can just see Him anywhere. And I--I thought, "Now, what's godly about that eagle 'cause he's a scavenger. And oh, he's a bad guy. And I thought, "Well, what--what godly would be about that thing?" And the first thing you know he moved out, jumped up on the limb, like that, and looked over at that little old squirrel setting there just like he was going to tear him to pieces.
He looked back over to me, and I thought, "Well, now this is a position. Now, Lord, where are You at in that--that scene?" Everywhere you look you can see God, and I thought, "There's a little old pine squirrel that runs all the game out of the woods, and he's no good. And here sets the little old--a big old eagle here, who if you'd kill a deer and leave him lay there, the eagle would eat him up overnight if he could and what... He's just as mean as he can be." I thought, "Where could You be in this scene?" I said, "You're everywhere though. Now, where could I see why God put that scene before me?"

L-57 And I looked again, and I happened to notice, that eagle had bravery. It wasn't scared, no matter what I'd do or what anything, it was brave, and I thought, "That's it God. You don't want cowards." God wants men and women who's got a backbone, instead of a wishbone. When God says anything, we believe it. That's all. That settles it. If God said so that makes it true. Is that right? That makes it true. All right.
And I said, "There You are, Lord. You want somebody that'll really know what they're talking about and is ready to stand for what's truth."
A lot of people say, "I accept my healing. I believe Jesus heals." All right. And the first little cramp hits you, you're ready to give up. Oh, my. And you go and say, "I believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost" and shout and dance in the church, and when you come to meet some critic out there on the street, you're as silent as a church mouse. That's right.
Oh, brother, don't hold your peace. Scream out. Amen. If it takes your head, be like John the Baptist. That's right. Stand for what's truth.

L-58 And there I looked to that old eagle, and I thought, "What makes you so brave?" I said, "Do you know I could shoot you if I wanted to?" And he, that great big gray looking eyes looked over at me. He wasn't scared of me. And I thought, "I'm sure you're not scared of that squirrel." And then I thought... Well, I said... I grabbed my rifle. I said, "I could shoot you." I noticed him. He jumped, looked at me again, but I thought, "Well, what makes him so brave? How is that fellow so brave? I don't understand that." But I happened to notice... Here's what was making him brave. I seen him moving his wings like this, feeling his wings to see if his wings was in good condition. I said, "Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord." Amen.
Someone said not long ago, "Brother Branham, aren't you afraid on that platform, that you'll make a mistake and tell somebody the wrong thing?"
Oh, no, not as long as I can feel Him with me. That's right. As long as He's there everything's okay. That's--that's all right. As long as He's there, the boat's in control.
And I watching him moving his wings; I thought, "Well, say." He--he'd look up all the time, looking to see how far that timberline was up there and that timber. He knew if he ever got in that timber, I'd never see him under the sights of that rifle. So he was just setting there looking at me, just having a big time.
