<TITLE>13. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 I said, "Yes, I see God in that eagle. He's not afraid. He's not a bit scared." I thought, "I'll just see how afraid he is." I said, "Say, fellow, you know I could shoot you?" When my voice rang out, he looked at me real close and rolled them big eyes.
I begin to see him feeling them feathers, you know, with his... straighten them out. I thought, "There you are. There you are. God give him two wings to get away from trouble, get away from danger, and he's trusting those wings, his God-given escape. He feeling them wings was all in running order." All right.
Someone said to me one time, "Brother Branham, ain't you afraid you'd make a mistake up there? Aren't you afraid something will happen up there?"
Oh, no. As long as everything's in running order (See?), it's all right. Don't worry. He's the One give the promise.

L-47 This old eagle, fooling his wings, messing them up and down like that, I thought, "Oh, yeah, there you are." And I reached to grab my gun. He jumped, and looked at me like that, and kept his eye right on me. Now, he knowed, by his ability, that he could take those wings and get in that timber before I could get that sight on him. He knew that, and he trusted it. So he wasn't afraid.
Why should we be afraid, no matter what comes along? God give us the Holy Ghost. "Lo, I am with thee always, even to the end of the world." What are we scared about? God called you before the foundation of the world, put your name on the Lamb's Book of Life. The Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. Your name was put on the Book before the foundation of the world. The Bible said so.
Bible said the antichrist in the last days would deceive all that dwelt upon the earth whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life since the foundation of the world, not the last revival, but the foundation of the world. There you are. So you know you're living above. You're in something. You've received the Holy Ghost. What are you scared of? Amen. God in His universe, I believe it, don't you?

L-48 I watched that fellow there for a few minutes, that little chipmunk setting there, going--or little chip... That's what we call them at home. They're little, actually, a little pine squirrel, was going, "Chatter, chatter, chatter. Chatter, chatter, chatter."
That eagle got enough of it. He just didn't want to fool with him any more, so he just made a great big bounce, like that, flopped his wings about two times, and he was above the timber. He just set his wings. He didn't flop any more. He just set his wings. And every time the wind would come in, he'd rise higher. The wind would come in, he'd rise higher. Not moving a feather, he just knowed how to set his wings. I watched him. I dropped my gun. I looked at him. He got smaller, smaller, until he got plumb out of sight.

L-49 I thought, "O God, that's it. That's it. It's not join this one, and take your papers from this one over here, join this, join this, join that; run through one prayer line. And Oral come through, you go through his, and go through another one, go through another. That's not it.
It's just knowing how to set your wings of faith in the power of His resurrection. And when the Holy Ghost comes in, ride up above it. Ride above that chipmunk setting there, "Days of miracles is past; no such a thing as Divine healing," that earth-bound creature. We're eagles. Hallelujah. The Holy Ghost comes in, and we ride out of the way of danger, plumb till it becomes so we don't even hear it no more.
"Days of miracles is past. No such a thing as Divine healing. It's mental telepathy. There's something wrong. Our church would do this. We got the biggest. We're the greatest organization." Just ride on above it.
Just set your wings and say, "Jesus Christ, I love You. I trust You." And hold this blessed old two-winged Book here and just fly away (Hallelujah.), for He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen.
