<TITLE>11. Par 39-41</TITLE>L-39 So I thought, "Oh, I see, the bravery." I thought, "What makes him brave now? There's got to be some reason to make him brave. And I said... I grabbed my rifle like this; I said, "I'll scare him." And I grabbed my rife like I was going to pull it up like this, and he flipped them big wings and looked back at me again, looked back. I thought, "Well, why is he so brave?" I noticed him; he kept feeling his wings, shuffling his feathers out. I thought, "Oh, I see. God gave you two wings; that's God's given power, and you trust it."
And I thought, "If--if God gave the eagle two wings to take hisself out of danger, and he has that much trust in his wings, what ought a church that's baptized with the Holy Ghost do?" See? There he was, moving his feathers. I thought, "Yeah, as long as he can feel them wings, they're all right, he ain't scared of nothing." And I said, "Praise God." As long as I can feel the Holy Spirit moving, devils can't scare nothing (That's right.), when the Holy Spirit's around.
How marvelous, no wonder you can stand, not like the Rock of Gibraltar but the Rock of Ages. We'll stand after the Rock of Gibraltar's gone.

L-40 So I thought, "Isn't that marvelous?" Well, then I said... wonder why he... Now, I said, "Now, that timber's not very high and he knows that it's his get a way." Before I could get that rifle to my shoulder, and especially through the little old V sights, he'd be in that timber, and I couldn't shoot him, and he knows that. "Well," I thought, "isn't this wonderful?" And I started shouting again. I don't know if I scared him then or not.
But anyhow, he looked around a little while. I thought, "I admire you, fellow. I wouldn't shoot you. If you're that brave, I--I love bravery, and I sure wouldn't shoot you." And he set there a little while. After while, he just give hisself a little pitch like that, with his feet. And he got tired of hearing that there little old pine squirrel, "Chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter." And I thought, "That's right. Just puts you in mind of some of these people around here, 'Days of miracles is past. There's no such thing as Divine healing. Holy Ghost ain't for this day.'" Just jump all away from it. That's right. Just get on away from it; go on away.
And I noticed him. Now, he just didn't flop, flop, flop, flop, flop with his wings. He just made a big jump, and made about two flops, then he set his wings. And as that air...?... he never moved a feather. He just knowed how to ride that air, he just went on, on, on, out of sight.

L-41 I stood there. I cried like a baby. I said, "That's it, Lord. It ain't run here and run there, and flop here and flop there. It's just set your wings of faith in the power of God, and when it rolls in, ride up. Ride away from the... saying, 'The days of miracles is past, there is no such a thing.'" Ride out. Don't keep trying to pushing and shoving, just set your faith in Gods power. When the waves come in, ride up on it like that." That's it. Amen.
Then the deep really called to the deep then. Marvelous. Deep calling to the deep. Unless there is a deep... Before there is a fin on a fish's back, there had to be a water first for him to swim in, before he ever had the fin, or you wouldn't have no fin. Is that right? Before there could be a tree to grow in the earth, there had to be an earth first for it to grow in, or there'd be no tree. Is that right? In other words...
