<TITLE>10. Par 36-39</TITLE>L-36 Oh, you say, "I belong to the biggest church in this city. I--I've been a loyal--I've been a loyal tithe payer." That's good. "I've never did anybody any wrong, why should the Lord let me get sick?" Maybe He's just stirring your nest a little bit. He wants to show you how great He is.
You know, really, the little eagle has never seen mama. He's been so satisfied in the nest, he don't know how great she is. So you know what the eagle does? The mother eagle is far a bigger bird than the father eagle. A good sized bald eagle can spread fourteen feet from wing to wing. That's right. And you know, this little eagle has been down in his nest all the time, and so satisfied with just shouting, and jumping, and running around, until, you know, he's never knowed how big mama was that put him in that nest.
So God has to let sickness strike His church once in a while. He has to let a little depressing of the Spirit come, take a little of the joy out of the church, just to spread forth His wings and show you Who He is. So he begins to get, oh, my, a sticker here, and a sticker there, and everywhere he sets is a sticker. Why, he's ready to get out of that nest.

L-37 So the big mama comes up there and spreads forth that great big wings. Oh, I watched them, how mammoth she looked, far beyond the boundaries of the nest. Her--her nest is about eight or ten foot around, and her wings are fourteen feet. How she stands on that nest, and she screams to them little ones. And then, when the little ones look up, she spreads forth her great, mighty wing. She's trying to get them to have faith. She's going to do something with them.
And maybe, God might stir your nest, so He can spread forth His wings to show you how great He is. He wants to do something for you. He wants to show you how great Thou art, how great Thou art. And when we have to lay on our back and look up towards the sky, and to see Him spread His wings in the solar system, from sky to sky, to see those stars...

L-38 I had the privilege, sometime ago, to stand at the Mount Wilson observatory and look through that microscopic glass. And they claim you could see one hundred and twenty million years of light space. Light travels eight thousand miles per second. And eight thousand miles per second and take a hundred and twenty million years of that. Why, you could run a row of nines around the world and couldn't break down in miles. And what was they beyond that? Moons, and stars. How great Thou art. Get on your knees and look up one time. How great Thou art.
See what He's fixing to do? When His eagles get in that condition, He's fixing to stir the nest then. I think He's fixing to stir the Pentecostal nest.

L-39 So when the little eaglets... He does that to get their attention. When she's standing there with her wing, she's screaming. That's her word. She standing there, "Look up at me, see how great I am?"
When the doctor says, "There's nothing more to be done," then how great Thou art. Look up this a way, the doctor, you--you had him until he finished. That's all right. But now, how great Thou art. Look up there. He's trying to get you out of that nest. Certainly, He is.
