<TITLE>13. Par -</TITLE>L-18-1 Now, the mother is determined them little eagles are not going to be chickens. But she's determined that they not be. You know what she does then? After she struts up and down on the nest and spreads her and she'll say, "Looky here, honey, how great I am. See here, you've got to trust me. I'm going to take you somewhere where you'll have to trust me."
How do I know that God hasn't sent these sick people in here this afternoon the same way? Put you to a place where the doctor... You say, "I'm a Christian, Brother Branham." I know it. "And I've got the Holy Ghost, and here I am suffering."
How do you know that Jehovah's just not trying to get you to look through the Wings and see how great He is? "How great I am. I'm going to do something for you that you'll have to trust Me." There you are. "But I want you to know what you're trusting in first. See My great Wings?"

L-18-4 Then after a few days, you know what that mother does? As long as that bed is made soft, them little old eagles don't want to leave it. That's right. You know what she does? Then she gets right in there and takes her bill and rips every bit of that fur out of there and throws it out of the nest. She's determined that they'll not get customized to the world. That's right.
That's what God does sometimes. Oh, you think about everything big and everything swanky and everything... Don't look for that. Why, you're a million miles from Pentecost. The Pentecostal people didn't look for easy things. They sold what they had, and give to the poor, and went out with Christ alone. And today we have to own a fleet of Cadillacs before we're spiritual. What's happened? Something's wrong somewhere.

L-18-6 Me... Let me take the way with the Lord's despised few. I've started in with Jesus, Lord, take me through under any circumstances. The people are afraid of the new birth. That's what's the matter. They're afraid to be borned again.
Anybody knows that any birth (I don't care where it is), it's a mess. If it's in a pigpen, or if it's in a straw stack, or if it's in a pink decorated hospital room, a birth is a mess. And people don't want to get messy. But I'm telling you; I don't want to meet God on my part; I want to meet the new birth on God's level. I don't care if I have to cry, squall, speak in tongues, whatever I have to do. I don't care how many neighbors talk about me; let me be borned again. I don't care what kind of a condition I...

L-19-1 If I have to spoil all the reputation... I don't have any anyhow. That's one thing I didn't have to leave; I had no prestige or reputation. I was just a hillbilly to start with. So I had nothing... But I--I don't care what it is, I'm ready to lose anything and become a fool for the Kingdom of God's sake. You're going to call me a holy-roller, or a spiritualist, or a devil, or a mind-reader; I don't care what they say, I want Jesus. That's my main object. On what level it is, I don't care. I'm... I want to meet Him on His level, not on the what I think is right or what somebody says right; I want on what God says right. That's right. If He said He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, I want to see Him on that level.
If I have to preach to a bunch of posts and eat soda crackers and drink branch water, I still want the Gospel. I want Christ on the level that Christ will come.
