<TITLE>11. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 If we could only take the wings of the Bible, God's written Word, that God give His Church to fly away with, and have as much confidence in the Word of God, by the Holy Spirit, to furnish the breeze to pack us away... If we'd only had as much confidence as the eagle did in his wings... He knew that he could make one jump, and he'd be in that timberline, above that timber, and I could never shoot him if I had to. And he had confidence in it.
And I watched him. After while he got tired of listening at the little old pine squirrel, and he just made one big jump, and he just flopped about twice, and you know what he done? He never flopped no more. He just knew how to set his wings. And he just held his wings out like that, and every time the wind come in, it just lifted him up, lifted him up. And I stood and watched him, until he become just a little spot. There I wept like a baby. I thought, "God, that's it; that's it."

L-40 If the Church only knew how to set its wings, its wings of faith, into the promise of God, and not beat from here, beat from there, and join the Methodists, join the Baptist, join the Presbyterian, join the Oneness, join the Assemblies, every little 'ism comes along, to join it. That's not it. It's just set your wing in His promise and let the Holy Ghost just lift you up, lift you up, on, on, on.
He left that little old earthbound woodchuck setting there, pine squirrel, "Cha, cha, cha. The days of miracles is past. Ain't no such thing as baptism of the Holy Ghost. You're just a bunch of idiots; that's all there is to it." That's about the way it is. "There's no such a thing." He just went on and on and on and on, leaving that little old chatter, chatter here and chatter, chatter there behind.

L-41 God help us, to take the wings of the eagle and fly away to every Divine promise God give in the Bible. That's the reason that insane epileptic boy tonight is perfectly whole because, his faith was set in the wings. God packed him from sickness to health. That's the reason that lovely little woman sets there, and this one back here: Was alcoholics, and narcotics users, and dope fiends, and so forth; it wasn't because they went to the Anonymous, and they did this and they took shots. They didn't do it. They just set their wings of faith in the promise of God, and said, "God, You promised it; the promise is mine." And here they are tonight in their right mental conditions, healthy, strong. And the dope and whiskey still laying in the gutters.

L-42 That's the reason you're not out here, woman, tonight, as a prostitute on the street. That's the reason, gentlemen, you're not out here in the streets as a bootlegger or drunkard, is because you set your wings in the promise of God, and by faith the Holy Ghost lifted you up on beyond denominational barriers. That's why the Christian Businessmen's here tonight, and this convention's going on, is because they set their wings, drove their stake far out. That's why this fellowship is here tonight, because men dared to set their wings.
My friend, let me say to you tonight: The eagle is stirring her nest, and if there's anybody in this building tonight would dare set your wings or prom--in God's promise in His Word, God will take you from that miserable unrighteous, ungodly, selfish life that you're living and make you free, happy, and live above sin, and live in a blessful atmosphere, that the world and the chickens know nothing about.
