Episode 230: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 196

Episode Summary:

I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. (Psalm 40:1-2)

149 So when the little eagles learns to fly, I was noticing, I hooked, put my horse reins around a limb, and went over. I had some binoculars just watching. I seen that old mother eagle way up there; she was doing something, flopping around in the air. I got my glasses on her and watched her, ’cause we was bringing cattle down. And I looked up in there, and I seen her, how she was getting them little ones out. And she kept rooting them little ol’ eagles around and around up there.

150 And after a while, she got them all on her wings; and she just picked them up out of that old stinky nest, and went down into the valley, and she set her big wings down like that, and when she did, all those little eagles got off and begin to walk around there. First time they’d ever had their feet on grass, my, if they wasn’t having a big time. I said, “Lord, if that ain’t an old-fashion Holy Ghost revival, I never seen one in my life.” That’s right. I said, “Look at them!”

151 Out of that old stinky nest up there, you know, where the old stink and stickers and things, that’s the way God does. He lifts you up on the wings of an eagle, and packs you out of the old stinky things of the world into this place where all things are possible, free as you can be. Amen.

152 Then I notice them run around, grab a little mouthful of grass here, and run over, grab a little mouthful here, and playing, just having a big time, no condemnation at all. I thought, “Well now, what that old mother going to do?”

153 After she seen her little ones begin to play real good and have a good time, she set her wings again, and she went plumb way up to the highest rock that she could get. She set up there and perched herself, begin to look around. Oh, my. I thought, “That’s right. When the Lord Jesus took me out of the miry clay and set me on the Rock, Christ Jesus, He climbed the ramparts of Glory, setting on high, watching down. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.” No harm, no danger, no nothing else can take place, as long as we’re in His Divine Presence. Amen. Let come, let go what may; even death itself has lost its sting. Cause He’s standing yonder in Glory tonight; His eyes is watching this meeting to see just exactly what will take place, while His little ones are rallying together around the throne of God, rejoicing in the Word of God, shouting in the Presence of God, oh, my, carefree.

154 Them little fellows didn’t look for nothing. Boy, you let a coyote start towards one of them, he’d get the awfulest flogging he ever had in his life. Amen. Oh, my.

155 And when she set up there, then after a while, I set there about two hours watching her. A little northerner come across, a little green streak, comes up quick, the storm’s coming. And when she let out a scream, when she left that nest up there, she flew right down like that, let out one scream, and all them little eagles all over the—the little meadow there begin to run together. She threw out her wings like that. Every one of them little eagles just run and jumped up on the wing, put their little bill around a feather like that. She raised those great big master wings, and that storm coming down that hill screaming sixty miles an hour. She went just as straight to the rock as she could and took them to shelter.

156 I thought, “Yes, some of these days, there’ll come a scream from above; the Lord Jesus will come and spread forth His great wings, and all of His little ones will spring onto the arms of the old rugged cross, and we will be carried into the safety of His coming day till the storm of life is over.” Oh, what a wonder if you’ll look at God, on His nature.
