<TITLE>07. Par 24-26</TITLE>L-24 I stood there. I started crying. I thought, "Lord, I'm going to have another spell, just as sure as the world." And I looked, and there he went. And I watched him till he come just a little black dot, way in the air. I thought "That's it, Lord. It isn't join this, and go join that, and flap, flap here, and flop, flop there from one place to another. It's knowing how to set your wings in the power of faith and fly away."
Leave that earth-bound chipmunk set there, saying, "Chatter-chatter: days of miracles is past. Chatter-chatter-chatter: no such thing as the Holy Ghost. Chatter-chatter-chatter; it's all nonsense. That's just worked up. That--that's enthusiasm. No such a thing." Oh, my.
Just set your wings. Hallelujah. When the Holy Ghost comes in like a wave, just ride right on it, like that. Go on out of the way of it, up, up, up, till you can't even hear it no more. That's the way. Get so high in the atmospheres of God's grace until you don't even hear that chatter-chatter here, becomes dead to you. You're up in the heavenlies.

L-25 Now, a eagle was made a heavenly bird. He certainly was. And there's no other bird that can touch him. No, sir. He's the king of the bird family. That's true.
If a... You talk... You say, "A hawk's got a hawkeye." You've heard that. He's an amateur. He don't know what he's talking about. If that hawk would ever try to fly with that eagle, he'd disintegrate in the air. The eagle is a special-built bird. He has to be, because he can fly higher than any other bird. Well, now, if he didn't have a special-built body when he got up there, he would disintegrate too.
That's how people try to impersonate, to be something that they're not. That's what causes all your wrecks on the road, what I mean, on the road of life; because they're trying to impersonate somebody else, and they wasn't built that way. They wasn't made for that. I don't know whether that sunk in or not, but I hope it did. But anyhow... Oh, yes. Amen.
We find out, you know, the--the uncircumcised Egyptian trying to follow the circumcised Israelites, they got disintegrated too in the bottom of the sea. They couldn't cross. Their wheels mired down.

L-26 Now, we notice, as the eagle... And if he... What good would it do... Now, that's the reason God likened His prophets to eagles, because they could go so high.
Now, he's a special-made bird. And oh, his feathers are so tight you can't hardly pull them out with a pair of pliers. They're so tight, because if they wasn't, when he got up there, up in that spheres up in there, he'd--he'd--they'd come out of him. He'd fall back to earth, and just--he'd disintegrate.
And if a hawk tried to follow him, or the crow tried to follow him, he'd just leave him in the dust. And that... If he got any higher, he'd go so high, that's all the higher he can go, 'cause he's a crow, or a hawk. But an old eagle just keeps on climbing.
Now, what good would it do him to get up there, if he wasn't equipped with some eyes that could see a way away too? That's right. What good does it do to climb high, unless you live high too? Live to where you're climbing. High as you jump, live that high. You know what I mean. That's what brings so much reproach on the church, is people jumping way high and living real low. See? That's the thing we ought to do, yeah: live just as high as you jump. See? That's right.
