<TITLE>08. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 Now, I believe that God is everywhere. And as I looked at the eagle, I thought, "Now, what would that old bird raise up there to stop me from shouting? And I happened to notice him, that one thing, he seemed like he wasn't afraid. That's one thing that's godly about him.
God don't want cowards. God wants men to be men, women to be women. He wants Christians to be Christians. Make your confession and stand there. That's the idea. Not scared to say this and scared to say that. Keep your convictions. Be what you are. That's what God wants you to do. Be what He wants you to be and don't be cowardly about it.

L-30 And then I seen there. God loves bravery. And I thought, "Mr. Bird, do you know what? You act like you're so brave, but did you know I could shoot you if I wanted to?" That didn't bother him a bit. I thought, "Well, I'll just see how much game you've got in you." And I grabbed my rifle, and I noticed him, his big wings moving around. And I thought, "Well, he is not even scared if I've got my rifle in my hand." But of course, if he could've read my mind, he knowed I was admiring him, but his bravery. But he knew... I seen him feeling those wings like they do, the feathers back and forth. Now, he had a God-given gift, and that was two wings that he knowed he could be in the top of those trees before I could ever get that rifle to my shoulder. And he had confidence in it.

L-31 Brother, if God give an eagle wings to take him from danger to safety, and as long as he could feel those wings operating right, what difference did it make what kind of a danger he was in? What ought a man to do with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, when he feels the Spirit of God operating right, blessing him, and giving him the deep things that he desires in the love that he desires of God; to fellowship, to walk with him. What can the devil put before you?
Paul said, "O death, where is your sting? Grave, where is your victory? But thanks be to God Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Even death and the grave could not, nothing like scare that old apostle. He knowed he had fellowship with Christ. Yeah, but, "Thanks be to God Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

L-32 Notice. As this old eagle moving his wings, I thought, "Oh, I admire you." I set my rifle back against the tree, and all of a sudden he just got tired of that little old chipmunk, or little old pine squirrel, "chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter." You know what he did? He just gave one great big jump, and he flapped his wings about twice, and he was up out of the timber, and he never flopped his wings one more time. He just knowed how to set those wings. And as the air begin to come in off the mountains, he knowed just how to set that air in those wings how to pitch it. And he started raising up, up, up.
Oh, I stood and looked at him till he was just a little dot. I thought, "That's it, Lord. It's not jumping here, and join the Methodists, join the Baptists, join the Pentecostals, join the Oneness, join the Assemblies. That isn't it. Flop flop here, flop flop there with your letter, but it's just knowing how to set your wings into the power of the Holy Ghost. And when the wave of glory comes in, ride it...?... go on above.
