<TITLE>16. Par 60-63</TITLE>L-60 So it's a funny looking life around one of them places, them incubator chickens. Around there, you don't know what in the world to do. The clucking of the hen, he don't understand that. "Why is it, they don't believe in Divine healing? They call themselves a church. They say they believe in God; why can't they believe He's all powerful? Here it said, the promise of the Holy Ghost... Look the way they did back there. They went into the world like a flaming fire; they healed the sick; they done miracles and signs, and they had joy and peace. They sealed their testimony with their life, why don't this church do it? Yet they say they are the church of the Living God." The true eagle can't understand that.

L-61 But you know what? Something happened one day; an old mother eagle flew over the barnyard. And she turned, and she looked down. I'm so glad of that. She said, "There's my child." She turned again, and she screamed, "Honey, you're not a chicken. You're mine."
Oh, he understood that voice. Sure. Something had brought the results like the first did at the day of Pentecost. Something had turned his attention upward. "I understand that call."
She screamed back, she said, "You're not a chicken. That's the reason you've never been satisfied. You wasn't born for a manure pile of the world. You're a heaven born bird. You're not bound by some creed and denomination. You got plenty of room; the heavens is yours."
Say, "You must be my mama. Mama, how can I get out of it?"
Said, "I'll tell you, son, just give a little jump and try your wings once." That's all you have to do. Just take God at His Word, and step out on It one time. Yes, sir.
If you're all bound down, froze to death in some denomination, just take God at His Word and step out one time, say, "I believe You, Lord. I heard a voice that spoke to me, saying, 'Come up higher.'" Take Him at His Word, one time, see what happens.

L-62 Well, you know what he did, this little eagle? He made a big jump, and flopped his wings, he set right on the top of the barnyard post, right in the middle of a denomination. That's as high as he ever got.
She's hollering, "Honey, you've got to jump higher than that or I can't get you..."
"Well, I belong to the so-and-so, mama."
"You come out of that. Just jump again; flop your little wings and I'll get you." Amen. And she made that big swoop.
And when he took that all sufficient step to say, "I'm no longer Baptist in denomination. I'm no longer Presbyterian; I'm no longer Pentecostal, but I'm Yours, Lord, here I am, flopping with all that's within me." she catches him, and away she goes to the heavens with her bird.
How high have you jumped? How much have you trusted? If you're God's eagle, you're ready to take Him at His Word. You're ready to trust in Him in the face of death or anything else. You're there to trust Him.

L-63 I've kept you too long. Let us bow our heads, just a moment. The organist will get there, "My faith looks up to Thee."
Little eaglet, that been dissatisfied. Now, I'm not telling you to leave your denomination. If you're Baptist, remain a Baptist. If you're a Presbyterian, remain that. But what I'm trying to tell you to do, is step out on Jehovah's wings once. You're eagle. Your church don't believe in Divine healing, you don't believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, you don't believe in this being borned again, step out one time and find out the promise. Jesus said, "Except a man be borned again, he can't even understand the Kingdom of God."
