<TITLE>10. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 Did you ever get in trouble, where the doctor says you can't live no longer, or you think you're gone, and you ever seen the Old and New Testament spread before you, "How great Thou art, how great Thou art." You never knew how great He was until you turned your little sick eyes and looked up towards Him, Jehovah Eagle standing there, "I am the same yesterday, today, and forever." Jehovah Eagle, how great Thou art.
Then they begin to look. And as they look at that great mother...
Did you ever look up to the stars sometime, wonder how every one keeps his place? Did you ever think about Who controls this world, how it stands in its orbit? How that science can predict to the minute twenty years before, how the moon and sun will pass for the eclipse. How great Thou art, how great Thou art. Did you ever notice how much... Why He--He can... He can take the sun, and draw more water in five minutes, in less noise, then we can pump out a gallon in a bucket out of a pump. He's God. He's great. And we look up to Him to see how great He is.

L-38 That's what He's trying to do when He fans that Old Testament and New Testament before you. "Look at Me, how great I am."
That old mother eagle presses back and forth. I've watched them a many time through my binoculars. There she stands with those great wings fourteen feet across. The little eagles say one to another, "Our mommy is a great bird."
How a church... How a man that's got God, accepted Christ as His personal Saviour, and He begins to look up there and see how God great is, how He--how great He is.
Then this old eagle decides that those little fellows has got enough feathers to fly. But there might be some loose feathers in them. And if they have any loose feathers, and she takes them on a flight, they'll break their neck. So, she gets them all in one accord in one place, all talking her language. And then she stands there with those great big wings, and begins to fan, fluttereth over her young. What's she's doing? She's teaching them. They been born in the cleft, but there is a mighty rushing wind that comes down from the mother's wings.

L-39 Out of the New and Old Testament, that same God that's always been God... He's God of Abraham. He's God of Moses. He's God of Jacob. He's God of the apostles. He's God in the housetop; He's God in the cellar. He's God forevermore. And He stands there, in that rushing mighty wind, that same God that led the Hebrew children out of the fiery furnace, led Moses through the wilderness. That same God is bringing forth a power through those wings that shakes every loose feather there is in you out.
The trouble the Church can't take it's flight today; it's got too many loose feathers, too many things--too many things of the world. Why, they take all the loose feathers out, you'd have no more feathers.

L-40 The old mother eagle stands there, and she bathes them. How they're all talking her language, screaming right back to her. And she's fanning them with the New and Old Testament, bringing and showing them it's the same God, same One, same power, same Jehovah. He keeps... He treats every one of His eaglets the same way.
A mother eagle doesn't change her course. She gives her eaglets the same training. Now, she says, "Children, you've never been on a flight like this, but I'm not afraid to take you now, because you are eagles." So she said, "Jump up on my wings." And she turns herself, spreads forth her great big wings. Every little eagle jumps up on his wings, and puts a foot here, a foot here, and takes his little beak and holds on.
That's how you come to Christ, holding on to the Cross with soul, body, and spirit. You're going to take a ride. That's how you take a hold of a promise of God. If God was a Healer in the Old Testament, He's a Healer in the New Testament; He's a Healer today. Take a hold of It soul, body, and spirit, for you're going on a trip. I hope we take it tonight.
