<TITLE>24. Par 82-84</TITLE>L-82 Notice. This old eagle, after while, I watched why he wasn't afraid. He had two wings. God give him two wings. And he knowed good and well that he could be in them cedars there, or them pines before I could ever get my hand on that rifle. He trusted 
God's given escape for him.
And if an eagle could trust his wings to safety, how much more ought a Christian to touch--trust the baptism of the Holy Ghost to take care of him?
As he moved his big wings, he looked at me. He wasn't a bit scared. As long as them wings was in operation, he wasn't afraid. If you're sick tonight, take God at His promise. Feel the Holy Spirit there giving you the promise, your great wings of faith that can fly away with you.
After while he got enough of that little old chatter, chatter of that little old pine squirrel. He made one big jump, flopped his wings about twice. He never flopped from place to place, from place to place, and place to place. He knowed how to set his wings. He set his wings, and a roar of wind come in, why, he just lifted up. Another roar come; he never flopped his wings, he just lifted up, on, on, on, till he become a speck, leaving that little old earthbound chipmunk setting there, pine squirrel going, "Chatter, chatter, chatter; chatter, chatter, chatter."

L-83 I thought, "That's true, God." Oh, if Christians only knowed how to set your wings of faith in God's power, that waves over them, like that, as the glory of the Holy Spirit comes into the camp of the believers. And if they only knowed how to set their wings in God's faith, unmovable, and ride the glories of God out, and leave this old earthbound, "Chatter, chatter, chatter," that says, "The days of miracles is passed. There's no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Spirit." You'll fly right away from it. What you need... Yes, sir.
In closing I'll say another thing. That in this place where you dwell on the inside, the secret place with God, there's a difference in there. Look. There was three lights that led man. There was three lights that lead man today. The first thing, there was three stages of the manna. There was three stages of everything. There's three stages of your experience. And notice, quickly now, while we're closing, quickly.

L-84 Watch. Now, on the outside the man who lived out here in the courts, that never even went to the first altar. He lived by the light of the sun, by the light of the moon, the stars, the firmaments. Some days it was rainy. Some days the sun wouldn't shine for days, a very typical experience of the carnal nature of man before he's been born again.
Then the next man come into the first court. There was seven golden candlesticks there. That was a good light. But many times, the candlesticks went out, the lamps smoked up. He lived by an artificial light. Some days he was up, and some days he was down. That's the way with the Christian experience. If you're only living in a justified state, going to church and saying, "Well, I've did the best I can." You're going to have the rainy days. You're going to have days you wonder whether you are a Christian or not. You're going to have days where you're going to wonder whether miracles are right or not. There's going to be days where you wonder whether you're in the right church or not. All those kind of scruples and things are going to pass through your mind.
