<TITLE>18. Par 58-61</TITLE>L-58 Jehovah, what? Almighty God, El Shaddai, the breasted One, the big Eagle, the winged One, the Bible, Old and New Testament. Just take your hold, whatever you have need of, put your hope right onto God's promises, set right there; no matter what takes place, hold on. Hold to God's unchanging hand. He reached up and said, "I'm the Lord that heals all thy diseases." Take a hold of it. If He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe: If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." Take hold of it. "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled."
Pastor says, "There's no such a thing today." Take hold of what God said. Put your hook around there and hold. You're fixing to take a flight now. Remember, it looks dangerous. Hold on. Oh, I'm so glad... Why a buzzard couldn't do that if he had to. A chicken don't even have a hook in his bill, he'd slip off 'fore he got out of the nest. First time anybody said something about him, he'd say, "Oh well, I guess it wasn't right."
Oh, but a eagle's a special built bird. He hooks that little old hooker around there, and puts them feet in there, and he knows how to hold on. Hold to the wings of the cross, brother, let her roll, let the storms rock, just keep on going, moving up.

L-59 She spreads those big wings, picks those little eagles up, feels the weight of them like that, and she gives a big jump off the top of this rock. Now, these little fellows never did feel that wind before. That's a strange thing to them.
You remember, the first time you felt, as eaglets, that mighty rushing wind coming down from heaven set upon you, and cloven tongues like fire set upon each of them, you remember when He struck you? It was a strange thing you, Methodists, and Baptists, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Catholic, and Pilgrim Holiness, Nazarenes, and so forth. You'd been born. Sure, you'd been borned again a Christian by believing. But when, that wind begin to come. Oh, loose feathers begin to fly. I'm telling you. Something took place. It was getting you ready for your flight.

L-60 So the little eagle held on. The old mother took her wings and she jumped off the nest. She begin to rise higher, higher into the blue (Oh, my), a way on up, on up, on up, way on, way on. If there's happen to be a chicken on there, he's gone by that time. He'd just disintegrate and fall off. But these little eagles are special built. They know God.
God called you; He knowed you, and ordained you, and put your name on the Lamb's Book of Life before the world was ever formed. That's what the Bible said.
The antichrist in the last days, will deceive all upon the earth, whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life, from the foundation of the world. That's right. What are you scared about? Take the ride.
Don't be scared, brother in the wheelchair. Don't be scared, sister. Don't be scared, brother. You with the cancer, heart trouble, or whatever it is, don't be scared. God's invited you to take a hold of the wings of the cross in this Bible here, God's promise, and fly away into the blue.
Said, "I wasn't up there before, Brother Branham." Hold to Him; He will take you up there.
"How can I do it, Brother Branham? I--I don't... I never did move my hand, I--I--I--I..." Don't make any difference, move it anyhow. God said so. Amen.

L-61 I know you think I'm crazy, but if I am just let me alone. I'm more happier this way, than I was the other way. So I--I'm satisfied this way. The other way I had worries, and frets, and everything, now I--there's no condemnation, I just feel fine. See? So I like this. Yes, sir. In the way that's called heresy, that's the way I worship the God of our fathers. That's right.
