<TITLE>21. Par 69-71</TITLE>L-69 The other day, I was standing by... This is fine. I was going by... Brother Tommy Osborn, that sweet, Christian brother, Tommy Osborn, he was brought to his ministry over there that night when the maniac ran out on the platform to kill me at Portland. And then he's traveled overseas, and he's done a... He's a--he's a sainted man of God. I looked at his great building; he took me through there, how beautiful it was.
Then here come our darling brother, Oral Roberts, one of the sweetest men, and the finest man, and God has trusted him with great wealth, and everything. And there I went to his building. And I went through there, and seen all them things built in the form of a trinity. No glasses on the side, all imported marble, and--and the ceiling is aluminum, all aluminum wires wo--wore close together, five hundred machines or something in there, just like an assembly line, running through, and letters and so forth. I thought, "Oh, my."

L-70 I stepped outside, and I said to Brother Fisher, that I missionaried with him in Africa. He was taking me through, and I went in through the--the mirror and seen those great beautiful hands reaching down, like the hands of God, and sinner's reaching for Him. My heart just jumped for joy. I thought, "Oh, God, how I thank You for Oral Roberts. How I thank You for one little old pentecostal boy, borned in a dugout over yonder, could have come up to amount like that." I said, "How I thank You, God."
And I stood outside, and I got to myself and walked around to get my car. Then something said to me; it was Satan; he said, "But what about you? Oral's ministry come off of yours, so did Tommy Osborn. Here you are. Where's your IBM machines?"
A little old end of a trailer that Brother Leo let's me have an office in, a phone setting in there, and a little secondhanded typewriter. "What about that?"
I said, "Oh, I would sure hate for them to come see that."
Satan says, "You see, He don't--can't trust you."
I said, "I guess that's right." See? "All them brother with all, I guess, He--He just can't trust me, that's all." And I was standing there looking there, and I got real broke up; I thought, "O God. As hard as I've tried and everything else." And I said then, "Look what You have done."
Just then I heard a voice said, "But I am your Portion." Amen.
I thought, "Oh, God, a tent or a cottage, why should I care. You're building a palace for me over there, of rubies and diamonds, and silver and gold. His coffers are full. He has riches untold. I'm a child, an eagle, of the King, a child of the King; with Jesus, my Saviour, I'm a child of the King. Oh, my.

L-71 Just flop then, just keep on whether going up, or you're down, or whichever way you're doing. Mother's standing right out there soaring, right around. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me in and out of His church, to see if you get out of topsy turvey, something will happen. The--the big wings, the Word of God, will bring you right back up.
Somebody said, "That's wild fire." I'd rather have a little wildfire, than no fire at all, you know. All right. We could take the big wings, and bear it back up to the right. Is that right, brothers? Just think if it's just a little out of order, why, we'll just catch them on the wing (You see?), just exactly what it is, and bring them back up into grace again. If they just... Let them flop. Yes, sir. Just let them go ahead and shout, praise the Lord, and holler, "Hallelujah," dance in the spirit, whatever they want to do. They get out of order, we got something here, the wings. God will never let you drop if you're a eagle. He will pick up back up again. Now, if you're a buzzard, you're falling anyhow. So you'll just splash on the ground. But if you're a real eagle, you'll listen to the Word of God. Amen. You'll know that's mother's wing bringing you back to grace again. Amen.
