<TITLE>07. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 Now, when she goes to build this nest, she gets sticks and everything, and she puts them in, and weaves them around with briar vines, and it's all full of stickers. Now, she don't want her little ones to be on those stickers, so she makes the nest just as comfortable as she can for her brood. That's how God does His church. He tries to make it just as comfortable as He can.
Now, she goes out, and she gets sheepskin, and she gets rabbit skin, that they eat. And she saves those skins up, and she takes that--gets up in the nest. Oh, how I've watched them do it. And take their beak, and they push that in, that rabbit skin, and sheepskin, push it in the nest, and make it just as cozy as it can be for her little ones.

L-26 That's the way God does for His church. Oh, when He knows that you're going to borned again, when He knows that you're making your mind up, setting in your seat, He goes to fixing the nest right then, because He's got a convert coming. He's got a eaglet fixing to be born. Makes it just as cozy, and when the sweet Holy Spirit comes down pouring over your soul, the tears begin to fall for joy, and you lift your hands, and you say, "Oh, something has happened." Just as comfortable as it can be, that's the way God does that. He makes it that way.
Oh, in a revival when you're hearing the message go forth, and you're so sick and tired of the world, after while, then when you begin to say, "Oh yes, I see it." See, birth is begin to set in. Jehovah gets a nest ready for His eaglet, so it'll be nice and soft, and you can walk around on those sheepskins and everything. It's wonderful.

L-27 And there's one good thing about the thing that we can so enjoy the comforts of the nest, this eagles nest, it was made out of a Lambskin, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. God clothes His second Adam, not in the sheepskins from Eden, but the sheepskin of Calvary, washed by the Blood, and made comfortable by His Presence, the sheepskin, that we tread upon. How peaceful, how quietly, how sweetly, how humbly, we should appreciate this wonderful soft walk that we're walking on.
How could some people make fun of it? But you know, it's said, "That fools will walk with hobnailed shoes, where Angels fear to trod." That's right. That's an old expression, but it's the truth. A fool will walk with hobnail shoes, where a Angel would fear to trod. Men will make fun of Christians under the Holy Spirit demonstration. They'll call the works of God, Beelzebub, when Angels wouldn't dare to say one thing about it. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Certainly.

L-28 We're thankful to our Lord God for His goodness to His children, aren't we? How He deals with us in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. Think of it. How easy He makes it for us to walk on. How bright He makes the path before us. We're sheltered by His blessed Presence.
Remember, when the little eagle is born, the mother's over him with her wings spread. She's ready to protect him. When he's a young one, how she sets right there with that eye watching him in the nest, wherever he goes. Oh, of course if he'd step out of the nest, he might break his little neck, but she watches over him.
