<TITLE>10. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 I begin to scream. Why, if they'd of got somebody to come up and look, they'd thought they had an insane person there. Around and around the tree I went as hard as I could go, jumping up in the air and screaming. I--I didn't--I didn't care who seen me. I was worshipping God. I... It don't make any difference to me what anybody thought.
And now around and around again, and I thought, "Oh, my, Lord, why do I ever have to leave here? Isn't this beautiful up here?" But like, "Let's build three tabernacles," but there was somebody down at the bottom of the hill waiting to be prayed for, of course. So I thought I might as well just rejoice a little more. And around the tree I went again, shaking my arms and a screaming to the top of my voice, "Hallelujah. Hallelujah to God. Hallelujah to God." I thought, "Isn't this wonderful?" My, I was standing there, deep responding to the deep, call, waterspout, thy noise." I--I think, "Oh, my, isn't this beautiful?"

L-37 I happened to hear something jump out, went chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, a little old pine squirrel. A little old fellow, just about that high, and he was the noisiest thing you ever heard. And he jumped up on a log out there, and well, I... The way he acted, I thought he was going to tear me to pieces, just about that big. You see? I looked at him; I thought, "Now, Lord, You never put nothing before a fellow lest there's--it's something for Your glory." And I said, "Now, why'd You let that little pine squirrel chirp like that."
And I happened to notice the little fellow was looking down like that, and he wasn't looking at me. But the storm had forced a big eagle down in there. This eagle was coming up out of this undergrowth--this brush. And I looked; I said, "Oh, the eagle's what's excited you." And that little fellow was just acting like he was going to tear that eagle to pieces. So the big old eagle, he jumped up on a limb like that.

L-38 And I thought, "Now, why did God turn my attention from that rainbow, and that wolf calling, and so forth, to something like this?" I thought, "Well, Lord, You're in Your nature. So I was having such a wonderful time, why'd You do that?" I thought, "I'd study it just a minute." I thought, "Well now that eagle, he's a scavenger and nothing good about him." I thought, "Well, what's he doing?" I'd seen the big fellow looking at me. I thought, "Oh, I understand. He's so brave; he's not scared of me." I thought, "I'll try out his bravery."
I said, "Hey, fellow, you know I could shoot you?" Them big gray eyes, walled, looked at me, looked over at this little squirrel. He wasn't scared. I thought, "Oh, Lord, I see. You want somebody's not scared."
That's the trouble with the Church today; you're afraid. You're afraid when you ask, you won't receive. That's the reason you don't receive. Don't be scared. Ask, and then believe you're going to get it; you'll get it. God will give it to you.
