<TITLE>06. Par 21-23</TITLE>L-21 And I thought, "Well, I see what it is. And another thing, he's not afraid, because he knows where he's standing. He knows just how much he can do, and how much he can't. And he's trusting his God-given gift to take him away from danger. And if God could give an eagle that much confidence by instinct, how much more confidence ought we to have (Amen), with the power of the Holy Ghost upon us, take us away from danger. Fly away. Sure. Get right away from it. Just rise up and believe it.
No need of us being this way, being sick, or broke up, and divided in a hundred and--nine hundred and sixty-nine different organizations and things. Let's fly away from it. Amen. Get on out of it. We're not bound by anything. No. But fly right away.
People say "Oh, days of miracles is past." Don't you believe it. Just feel that God-given power around you that saved you and filled you full of the Holy Ghost. What--what's that? Keep your--keep your feelings of the Holy Spirit around you. See everything, the gears is all running right, oiled up good with eye salve, you know, and everything, so you can really move out when it comes time.

L-22 Then I watched him a little bit, and I found out that--that he wasn't afraid of me. But he--he got tired of that little old chipmunk setting there, little old pine squirrel setting, going, "Chatter-chatter-chatter, chatter-chatter-chatter, chatter-chatter-chatter." He got enough of it, and I guess maybe by instinct he knowed that I wouldn't have shot him anyhow, 'cause I admired him setting there.
I like anything that's brave. I hate a coward. I hate a man or... for a... See a man get in a pulpit and afraid to preach his convictions... Brother, I tell you, I'd say it if he shot me, just the same. I--I want... And go to an office, and somebody be healed by the power of God, and afraid to say something about it. Somebody say that they... "Yeah, I believe the Lord's a Healer," and then afraid to testify of it. Oh, brother. Ashamed of the Holy Ghost, God can't use you. God wants men of--of bravery. Amen. We are kin to the Lion, the Lion of the tribe of Juda. That's right. Sternness, firmness, bravery... Oh, how I could take on that Lion and leave my text here.

L-23 But on--on this eagle, I watched him for a few minutes, and after while he got tired of hearing that there chatter, chatter. So he just made one big jump, and he flopped his wings about... Flapping his wings about three times like that, he was done beyond that timber.
Then I thought, "My, what a powerful..." The wind almost knocked me down when he raised up there, the power of that wing coming up [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] like that. He was right up into that timber. I thought, "My, he could fly a long ways."
But you know what? He never flopped his wings any more. No. He just knowed how to set them. And every time the wind would come in he'd ride up a little higher. He'd set them again. When the winds would come up the canyon, he'd ride a little higher, not--not flapping one more time. He just rode away.
