<TITLE>12. Par 43-45</TITLE>L-43 I looked at him. He knew I was admiring him. And he knew he could be in the top of that bush before I could get that rifle and he'd be out my way. So he knew his judgment was right. And as long as he could feel those wings working all right, everything was okay.
Now, as long as a Christian can feeled and know that your experience and your life, and the--you can feel the Holy Spirit in your life, the devil can't bluff you. You know where you stand.
And after a while he got tired of that little old chatter, chatter, so he just gave a great big bounce, made about two flops; and then I begin weeping as I noticed that big graceful bird set his wings. He never flopped any more. He just knowed how to maneuver those wings, those God given gifts that he had. He just knowed how to maneuver them in the air. And he went up, up, up until he become just a little spot.
I wept. I said, "That's it, Lord. Get so tired of this little chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, till he's just got out of hearing of it." I said, "That's it. If the Church only knew how to set their faith, their wings of faith in the roaring powers of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and rise up above this chatter, chatter, chatter, saying, 'The days of miracles is past. There is no such thing as the Holy Ghost.'" Rise on above it. Ride out of it.

L-44 Not flop flop from the Methodists, to the Baptists. And flop flop to the Presbyterians, and flop flop to the Pentecostal, to the Assemblies, and to the Oneness, and to the Church of God, and to the Nazarene. Don't do that.
Just set your wings; fly out. Go on up higher with God's Holy Spirit, and the gravitation loses its hold, and by an unseen force you're lifted above this chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, "Dr. So-and-so said so-and-so." The church don't believe it's the...?... No matter what the church says, God says it's the truth.
"Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature: These signs shall follow them that believe. Lo, I am with you always even to the ends of the world. And the things that I do shall you also. The works that I do, he that believeth on Me... And the works that I do shall he do also."
God wants a hero. The world's looking for a hero. The world's looking for a...?... to you. You're--you're company is looking for a hero.

L-45 I was a hunting one day... Now I'm closing. I was hunting one day with a friend up in the north woods, where I hunt very much. That man was a good man, but he was the most cruel-hearted person. And he liked to show off, just like many people do. Well, I'll give you to understand, I'm Dr. So-and..." I don't care. See? "Well now, you don't even know your..." That's all right. I know Him.
But he said... He loved to shoot fawns just to be mean. Now, it's all right. If the law says you can have a fawn, that's all right. Take it and be satisfied. But he'd kill eight or ten a year, just because that I called him out for it.
I used to be a game warden for many years. And I bawled him out and I said, "Burt, you oughtn't to do that. That's not right."
"Oh," he said, "you chicken hearted preacher."
So I said, "All right. Go ahead; but you're doing wrong and someday it's going to come back to you. If you want a fawn, you got as much right to get the fawn as Abraham had to take the calf. But you must take one, for you must give Caesar what's Caesar's, and God's what's God's."
