<TITLE>10. Par 29-31</TITLE>L-29 And so I--I was walking around, and they'd just caught a big eagle, great big, beautiful bird, and had put him in this cage. And that fellow, all the feathers was beat off his face and head. His wings was all beat off like this. And I stood and looked at him. And he'd walk back there to the cage, and walk back like this again, and he start off, and take those big wings a flopping, and he'd slam himself against that cage, and fall back again like that, lay there and look up towards the skies, those weary eyes look around.
Why? Oh, he's a heaven born bird. He lives in the heavens. He couldn't free himself. He's absolutely hopeless. Somebody has caught him, some smart guy caught him and put him in there. He's beat the feathers off of his wings. He's beat the feathers off of his head. He lay in there with his feet up, those big eyes looking up there where he really belongs. How he had longed to be free, and spread his big wings, and fly through the heavens, screaming. That he was to be free again. He could look, but he was in a cage.

L-30 I thought, "That's the most pitiful thing I ever seen in my life. I thought, "If they'd sell it to me, I'd buy that eagle right now and turn him loose, if I had to half starve and allowance my children at the table to pay for that eagle to let him loose. They wouldn't do it.
And I went down there and set down there. I couldn't keep from crying. Then something said to me, "You've seen worse than that. To see men who's born to be Sons of God, shackled down by creeds, and denominations, and--and people that says, 'The days of miracles is past.' when he's actually born to be a eagle to fly in the lights of the heaven yonder, brother, under the power and supernatural strength of God, to walk by faith and not by sight. And some shrewd fellow has caught him and bound him down into something by a creed or something: 'Repeat this creed and that's all you have to do.'"

L-31 Oh, brother, to get that man out of a cage... To see sons and daughters of God caged in, it's a--it's a pitiful. The most sad thing I ever seen is to know that men and women who are born... See women walking the street, half-naked, in these little old clothes around here, and know that that woman is absolutely possessed of an evil spirit... That's right.
Sister, let me tell you something. You say, "I'm as pure as a lily. I wear them."
But do you realize something, let me tell you, at the day of judgment you're going to answer for committing adultery. The Bible said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery with her already in his heart."
You might be as pure as a lily, but you dress yourself like that, and sinful men of the world look at you, he's going to have to answer for committing adultery with you, and you're going have to answer for presenting yourself in the same way before him. That's right.
These little old dirty, sexy clothes that women wear... And it's getting into our Pentecostal ranks too. It's too bad. No, sir, don't you never do that.
