<TITLE>07. Par 28-31</TITLE>L-28 Now, that eagle had two wings that God give him, and he had confidence in those wings. He knew what he could do with them wings, and he wasn't afraid of me at all. So he knowed he could be in that timber before I even got my hand on the rifle.

L-29 And I thought, "If that eagle, with two wings that God give him, knowed that he could escape there before I could do anything about it, what ought a Christian that's received the Holy Ghost...?" As long as you can feel His presence around you and everything's in running order ("... no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, that walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit), when you feel that running condition, don't worry about what Satan is going to do. Just... you know you're on good terms then.
So I watched him that way. And come to find out, he wasn't afraid of me, but he just didn't like to hear that little old ground squirrel, little old pine squirrel, sitting there going "Chatter, chatter, chatter. Chatter, chatter, chatter," like he was going to tear him to pieces. Why, he wasn't going to do nothing--he was too little. The eagle could have picked him up and that would have been... why, his foot was bigger than the squirrel. So, but the little squirrel was jumping up and down like he was going to tear him to pieces, just making a bluff out of it, you know.

L-30 Finally the old eagle got enough of it. So he just made one big jump and flopped his wings about twice, and then he set his wings. And I stood there and watched that eagle till I cried. He never flopped his wings, flop, flop, flop. He just made a couple of flops till he got up above the timberline, and then he just knowed how to get his wings in them air waves coming up the mountain; and it just carried him on, on, on, till he became just a little spot. And never moved a feather--he just knowed what to do.
And I thought, "Isn't that it? It isn't, join the Methodist, then go join the Baptists, and then join the Assemblies, then join the Church of God. It isn't flop, flop, here and flop, flop, there. It's just knowing how to set your wings of faith in the power of God, and when the glory rolls in, just ride upon it, on, on."
Get away from them little old earth-bound chipmunks, saying, "Chatter, chatter... days of miracles is past... no such thing as divine healing... no Holy Ghost no more. It was for the apostles a long time ago." Just set your wings and fly away, on, on, on, on, till you can't hear it no more. That's the kind of conference we want with God, that will lift us up above the shadows, get us away till all the criticism and anything, you can't hear it no more--just to be shut in with God. You don't have to join this one, join that one. Just know how to set your faith.

L-31 That's right. Just set your faith in the Word of God. And when that Old and New Testament gets spread out there that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, and when the power of God rides in, ride with it. Just go right on up, up, up, up, up, all the way. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He cannot fail.
Oh, these conferences, it should be a prayerful consideration for all of us. We shouldn't just let one happen and then not pray for it, both national and church and whatever it may be. We should always pray.
