<TITLE>12. Par 167-179</TITLE>L-167 I can see that old fellow going...?... I can see his wife around, say, "John, what's the matter, boy? Where you going?"
Said, "I'm going to worship the Lord."
"How do you know you're going?"
"Well, I'm going."
"Well, you haven't even got a compass. You haven't even got your ministerial license. What in the world's the matter with you? Will they receive you? You're going to worship the Lord?"
"Yes."
"Take your compass."
"No, I don't need it."
"Don't need it? How you going to get there?"

L-169 I can see him point up to the morning Star, say, "I'm going God's provided way." Amen. God provided a Star to lead the wise men. They didn't need a compass. They needed God's provided way, the Star. Glory.
And the same God that led the wise men to Christ, by the Star, is here tonight in the form of the Holy Ghost to lead you to the Christ, the new birth, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, which is God's provided way. "Except a man be born of water and Spirit, he won't even see the Kingdom of God." Men and women, have you received It?

L-171 My time's up. Oh, my, I just feel like getting into it. Put my hand down in my pant's pockets, and preaching like an old sassafras preacher. Why? I love it. It's all right to have ice cream, but you got to have some bacon and beans to stick to your side, nothing but Jesus...?... up. That's what we need. Don't you believe it? Truly.

L-172 God has a provided way. Are you in It tonight? Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? Now, you good Baptist friends of mine, and know that I belonged... I was a Baptist, and my pastor here is a Baptist. But I want to tell you something. Acts 19 says, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" Not "when" you believed, but "since" you believed. Yes, sir. If you haven't, It's for you tonight. God has a provided way.

L-173 Brother, sister, don't try to go your own way. Don't go through fig leaves. Don't go floating on a log, like they tried to do in the antediluvian destruction. Don't put fig leaves over like Adam did. Don't try to go King Nebuchadnezzar's way, to persecute the Church of God. Don't go all these other different ways, these forms and ways, that we could men... mention many.
Don't go like the Pharisees did, a very religious person, said, "Now, looky here, we're in a high place. And if there be anything go on, we'll know all about it."
And God slipped out there, and born the Child in a Bethlehem manger, took Him down to the world; and out of the world, capital punishment; they didn't know nothing about it. Right. God's provided way.

L-176 Oh, one time there was a woman, she had spent all the money she had. Hallelujah. Doctors couldn't do her no good. And one day she just about to faint. She'd had an issue of blood for many, many years. And one day she heard some roaring in a...?... She looked out, and there had come God's provided way. That's right. Oh, my.
I can see her come down by the high, classical Baptists. "The days of miracles is passed." She just crawled right between their legs. They had to move.
I see her come there to Brigham Young and all of his wives; she just passed right on through. What did she say?

L-179 I hear them say, "Martha, where are you going, that the physician can't do you no good? Where are you going? I seen you down there, with that...?... Teacher "
She said, "I'm going God's provided way."
"Where is it at? You don't mean that hypocrite over there?"
"That's where it's at. I'm going right on in."
She squeezed through, and around, until she got to this fellow here. And he belonged to--to this kind of a church, and this and that, and they all tried to push her back. But she made her way to Jesus.
Some of them said, "Now, wait a minute, sister. If you eat meat, you can't do it." She was going God's provided way.
"If you haven't taken up serpents, you can't do it." She went God's provided way. She wanted to get to Jesus. That's right.
