<TITLE>13. Par 55-59</TITLE>L-55 The same Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel through the wilderness, the same Angel of God that come into the--the place and delivered Peter from the bars, the same Lord Jesus that stood before Paul and sent the shining light that blinded his eyes. And the men around him couldn't see no light at all. But Paul; it put his eyes out. And he was blind and had to be led by the hands to the city, the light was so bright around him. That same Light, the Lord Jesus Christ is here tonight in His resurrected Being and proving Himself by infallible signs and wonders that He's here.
Oh, people, put your faith into action. Don't be a scared. Why, shame on you; don't be scared. Stand fast in the liberty wherein Christ has made you free. Don't entangle yourself in a bird cage any longer. Come on out of it. Break down the walls. Christ tore down the middle walls of partition, made us free. We're ready to fly away. Amen. I like that.

L-56 I've often said one time, watching an eagle... And after I leave this meeting, it comes my vacation, going to the mountains. How I love to get away to myself, way up into the mountains, and watch nature. God is in nature.
One day while watching a big eagle there, when I wondered what he was doing; he was looking at me, and a little squirrel was barking at him. I thought, "God, why'd You bring that before me for?" And after while that big fellow... I said... I grabbed my rifle; I said, "I could shoot you." And he wasn't worried about that. I kept noticing him fooling with his feathers in his wings like that. I thought, "That's it; he trusts in his wings. God give him two wings and he's a free bird. He can escape from danger any time he wants to." Hallelujah. That's it.
If--if a eagle can have confidence in the wings that God give him, how much more ought you to have confidence in the Holy Ghost that saved your soul and baptized you with His soul.

L-57 Then, he didn't push and jump and squabble. He just made one big leap and jumped out, set his wings, and flopped a couple times, and got above the timberline, and just set his wings. What did he do? He put his faith in his wings into action. Here come a big puff of wind; he never flopped in the wind; he just rode the wind and went higher. Another wind come; he rose higher. He rose higher, higher until I couldn't see him no more. I stood there and cried like a baby.

L-58 Why? It doesn't mean, run over to this meeting, run over here and join this, and join that, and take your letter to the Methodist, the Baptist, the Assemblies, the Oneness, and so forth. That isn't it; it's set your faith to action in God's Word, and ride away on every wind of a Holy Spirit that breathes down upon a mortal human being. That's when he must set his faith in God and say God's Word is right.
Here's my wings (Hallelujah), both the both New and Old Testament. I believe every Word of It will pack me. It brought me from a sinner to a Christian. It brought me from a cursing sinner to a preacher. It took me from a blind man to a good eye. It healed me when I was sick. It'll carry me from earth to glory some of these days. But my faith rests alone in Christ the Lord. Oh, my, [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... faith in action.

L-59 The heroes of the Old Testament had faith; they put it in action. You've got them for an example. Now we've got faith, but you won't put it in action. Ride away on the powers of the Holy Spirit.
Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, in the Name of Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus, may the Holy Ghost encamp about every believer in here tonight. And may the Spirit of the living God move into here and carry every one of the away from the sick beds and sick and afflictions into the land of good health. May they walk out of here under the power of the Holy Ghost, knowing Jesus raised from the dead and is alive, surely, among us tonight. We ask in Jesus' Name, Amen.
