<TITLE>16. Par 60-62</TITLE>L-60 What did it do? It made chickens out of eagles, earthbound birds out of heavenly ones. What a... A chicken is a bird all right, but he's earthbound. He keeps his nest down here where every weasel that come, come around, kill his eggs and get his little ones and things. But not an eagle, he builds it so high yonder till nothing can touch him.
God likens His heritage to eagles, you know. That's right. And we've got a bunch of Pentecostal chickens and not eagles. What made it? We give them chicken feed. That's what did it, some kind of a creed or denomination and not the Word of the living God. We twitched it, and turned it, and made what we wanted to make out of it to make an organization, added dogmas exactly like the Roman church did: same thing. No wonder she was the mother of harlots.

L-61 Yes, sir, they give them chicken feed, denominational creed; and they've lived on that; that's all they know. They're earthbound. They don't know how to raise their feet, and rise up in the Presence of God, and claim victory. They don't know how to shout the praises of God. They don't know how to accept Divine healing. You can talk to them; they bray like a mule. They know nothing about it.
I'm not... If I'm... Just forgive me if I said something wrong. I didn't mean to say anything wrong. I mean to make a point that people... You can talk about Divine healing, they turn their back. All... Even our Pentecostal groups are denying it.
Did you know the Roman Catholic church was first the Pentecostal church? Two thousand years has brought her that. Let this Pentecostal organization run the way it's been, and in a hundred years from now it'll be worse than the Roman church. That's what adding creeds and dogmas does; you make chickens instead of eagles.
God--God's Jehovah Eagle. All these little ones are eaglets. Brother, they know how to take a ride up there in the blue above all this kind of wic-wack down here that goes on. They don't want none of your barnyard assemblies. They fly up in the heavenlies where the stars are, breathe the fresh air of purity. Yes, sir. Oh, yes.

L-62 They've modernized our assemblies; that's what they done. And another thing they've done, they've brought immorality to our women. Exactly. Our men, our brothers, put them in denominations and say, "If you don't... If we give out--take your card away from you, your fellowship card, why, you'll never be able to preach nobody else 'cause we'll blackmail you and we'll blackball you." And they're afraid. That makes a chicken out of him.
Brother, shake loose. Come back. This is jubilee. You're a eagle. Don't let nobody tell you you're a buzzard, or, a chicken. Excuse me. You're... Well, a buzzard too, and a vulture... Yes, sir. You are an eagle. Yes, sir. You don't care for the old dead creeds and denominations. Let's come back; we're eagles; we fly in the heavenlies. Amen.
