<TITLE>16. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 This mother, there comes a time, she's got to stir up this nest, and she throws it all out, and throws all the--the--the soft part out, and puts some trials on you. Now, what would a little buzzard do setting in that nest? He'd never get out of there; that's all. But a eagle, he's stirs his nest and he's ready.
Now, one day, she says, "Now, I think it's time to take my little children on a flight." And she comes screaming out of the air, "Yeah, there comes mama." They know it. Just like a church filled with the Holy Ghost, when the Holy Ghost begins to fall, hands will go up, "Hallelujah, He's here." Amen. "Oh, I'm so glad." Why, here sets your neighbor there; you don't care who's setting there. Mother Jehovah is coming into the nest. Glory.
Let Him fall tonight. Let Him scatter His big wings across this place here, pack every person from a wheelchair, every sinner to the altar. He will come riding in on the wings of an eagle. Amen. Oh, I feel good. Yes, sir, He will come in, if you'll let Him. If you'll invite Him. You hear that scream come, "My sheep know My voice. They can tell that."

L-51 Oh, I was talking to a doctor not long ago, and he said, "Billy." I was having this meeting in a high school auditorium at Jeffersonville, at my home. And the people got shouting and praising the Lord, down there, 'cause some things happened. And the doctor said to me... I said, "What do you think about that, Doc?"
He said, "Billy, you know what? I think them people are just excited."
I said, "You're a doctor, and you know you can't be excited, 'less something's there to excite you."
Oh, glory to God, sure it does. If the Holy Ghost comes in and excites us, we're ready to take a flight one of these days to Glory. Sure, it's excitable. If that wasn't excitable, I'd change it for something that was excitable.

L-52 I can prove to you by science, that anything that doesn't--that doesn't move is dead. That's right. You know, if a baby's born, and it don't cry, it don't squall, it don't do nothing, that baby's dead. That's what's the matter with the church today; we've got too many stillborn babies. You know what the doctor usually does? Pick him up by the heels, and give him a little posterior protaplasma stimulation. That fixes him up just right. And what the church needs today is a good old-time stimulation of the power of the Holy Ghost to come into the church, tear us up, and shake us, stir up the nest, and blow out the loose feathers.
Pentecost needs a stirring. Amen. Blow out the loose feathers. We're getting too much doubt among us, superstitions, and "Could it be so? Would it so." Certainly, it's so. God's Word said it's so. Eagle's food proves it's so. Amen. Sure it is. Eagle Jehovah comes in and stirs up the nest. And the church is getting too... It's stagnated. Yeah. Better come in and stir it up.

L-53 Well, you say, "Brother Branham, I've already got the Holy Ghost." Yeah, but it gets some loose feathers in there. See?
I was standing by the sea, one time. It was Lake Michigan, really where it was at. And I noticed that thing, the waters a blasting in it, blasting out. I stood there and thought, "Floods of joy over my soul, like the sea billows roll." I commenced to thinking; I thought, "You know what though? There isn't one more drop of water in this ocean, or this lake, than there is when it's perfectly still." That's right. It's got the same amount of water, but it's jumping and carrying on. I thought, "Well, what's the matter? It's got a revival going on." What does that do? It washes all the trash over on the shore. That's what we need today is a good old fashion God sent revival to get the doubt and trash out of our heart, and wash it up on the shore, and forget about it (Amen.), clean the sea. Amen. That's what we need, good old dashing.
