<TITLE>21. Par 77-79</TITLE>L-77 Oh, they've got--they've got perfect confidence in their mother. So have I. Oh, the One that brought me up here, He will take care of me. The One that made the promise, He's able to take care of His promise. And the mother--her ability to catch them again.
If one happens to get out of rule, you know, they say, "That's too much wild fire." I'd rather have a little wild fire than none at all. At least you've got enough room to flap your wings. So if one of them gets topsy-turvy, they don't worry about it. Mama watches him. She sees he ain't going to come out of it. She just swoops down, picks him up on her wing, and bears him up to grace again.
That's good Calvinistic doctrine, but, brother, that's good. That's right. It brings them right up into that grace again, bear him up. Gets him on her wings of the Word and say, "Here, honey, you're off the Word now. You're going off on the wrong end. Come back up and try her again now." Take the Word of God and bring him right back up into grace again... Amen. Oh, they've got confidence. They believe. Brother, they're having them a big time, just a flapping, and a screaming, and a hollering and carrying on, having them a regular Pentecostal rally.
Now, them chickens down there don't know one thing about that. Look up there and say, "What's that all about? I never heard of such a thing." Go ahead. Stay on the ground if you want to. Yeah.

L-78 You know, it was said one time that a farmer was going to set a hen. Let's see, what is a setting? Fifteen? I think. Fifteen is a hen setting. I heard some good old mother out there say, "Yep." I remember mom used to put pencil marks all over them, so she could tell if there be a fresh egg in there or not, you know. We had to watch that. See? Fresh egg meant something. So she'd set the hen fifteen.
And the farmer only had fourteen eggs. So he climbed up a cliff and got a eagle's egg, brought it down, and put it under the hen. When it was hatched out, there was fourteen chickens and one eagle. That's about the average: one out of a setting. That's right. That's about the way they run, sure, about one in a setting.
So when this little eagle was born, you could imagine what a odd duck he was in that denomination down there. Why, he didn't understand what the old hen was going around and say, "Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck. Now, you see the days of miracles is past. Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck."
He said, "What's the matter?"

L-79 She got out there and scratched around, you know, in that barnyard. "I'm going to have a soup supper tonight. All of you attend," you know, all like that.
Why, he didn't know. He didn't like that kind of food. That made him nauseous. All of them made fun of him. Oh, we've all had that experience, haven't we? Made fun of us. I imagine the little female eagles, there was something another about her. She didn't have short bobbed wings either, she had long wings, 'cause she was...?...
I don't want to hurt you. I love you too much. But, brother, sometimes you rough the fur back a little bit once in a while it helps you.
So he walked around, you know, in his little wings. Said, "Well, why--why don't I look like the rest of those? Why is it I can't indulge in such things as that? Why is this?"
Well, you're just a different creature. That's all. See? You--you... We were destined before the foundation of the world to be eagles, not a buzzard or a chicken, walking along there, you know.
