<TITLE>10. Par 79-88</TITLE>L-79   Look in the Bible, you see where, what age we're living in then, when you see these great things being made manifest. When God promised to do it, He always does it at the end of each age when the church is come to the turning place, and is turned from the Word back to sin and worldliness. Worldliness is sin. The Bible said, "If you love the world or the things of the world, the love of God's not even in you."

L-80 Speaking last night, I was speaking about the--the sacrifice that was offered, the Lamb. It was to be seven days, representing the seven church ages. There was to be no leaven found amongst the people, no leaven for seven days. That means that there's nothing mixed with It, It's unleavened, constantly. And we don't want no creeds, leavens and things mixed with us. We don't want world mixed with us. It's got to be the unleavened Bread of God, the Word of God, the unadulterated Word of God, which, "Man shall live by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."

L-81   Our denominational systems, and differences and things, has put leaven in us, and this and that and world and fashion. And, oh, it's got so it's almost Hollywood everywhere. It'll finally come it'll be like England, and a altar call will be ashamed. My! As brother said, "How can you get the fish in the boat?" That's right.

L-82 We've got to have the Gospel preached in Its fulness, with the power of God to vindicate that according to the promise of that age and prove that that's exactly God's will. Outside of That you're just a church member, no matter how much you try, you try to do God a service. You might go to the stitch-and-sew party, you might be ever so faithful to church; but unless that germ of Eternal Life was foreordained in you, to be a son or daughter of God, you'll grow up a deformed something; but never be a real, true son or daughter of God.

L-83   Often give my little story of a little eagle. How the farmer set the hen one time, and he had... I hope it don't sound sacrilegious to you. But a farmer set a hen, and she was... lacked one egg in having a setting. I doubt whether anybody here know what a setting eggs is, how much it consists of. But, anyhow, he lacked one egg, didn't have enough. So he robbed the eagle's nest, she had two eggs. And he put the egg under the hen.

L-84 When that eagle was hatched amongst all them chickens, he was a funny bird. He couldn't understand the clucking of the hen, didn't talk like his... like he wanted to hear her talk. And she scratched in the barnyard, and eat from the barnyard, it wasn't food for him. He was an ugly duckling among them. The hen would cluck and he didn't understand it. She'd go this way and eat this and eat that, he didn't understand it. So one day his mammy, or mother, rather, to you. I... In the South we say "Mammy."

L-85 So, anyhow, he... his--his--his mother knowed she had two eggs, and only one of them was there, she went after the other one. She circled every... crossed the country, and finally she flew over the barnyard. She seen him down there following that old hen. She screamed, "Junior! You're not a chicken, you're an eagle!" That sounded just right to him. Why? He was an eagle to begin with.

L-86   And when a man or woman has set under creeds and cold, formal religion, if he's ordained to be a son of God, and he sees the Word of God preached in Its power, and God vindicate It; he's an eagle to begin with, he'll run to It as sure as two two's is four. He can't help it, because his very nature loves the Word of God. I don't care what anybody else says, when he sees the Word of God being made manifest, he flies to It because he was a little eagle.

L-87 As they go on to say, he said, "Mama, how am I going to get up from here?"

L-88 And He said, "Just make a jump, I'll catch you."
