<TITLE>14. Par 132-146</TITLE>L-132 When Peter was going on a little, I mean... Philip, when he was going to baptize the eunuch... He said, "Here's water, what hinders me from being baptized?" Peter...
Philip said, "Wait a minute. If thou believest with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, if you believe It."
He said, "I believe, with all my heart, soul, and mind, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
Stopped the chariot, down in the water, baptized him, and the Holy Ghost caught Philip out of his sight till he didn't even see no more, and took him through space for about two hundred miles and set him down and started a revival again. That's right. That's right. Oh, my. That God that lived in that day is the same God today.

L-136 When I think of Paul out there on the ship that night, all hopes was gone they'd ever be saved. The little old ship was water-logged, and she was in an awful fix. All hopes, everybody give up. And Paul setting down there in the gallery that night, probably praying, the Angel of the Lord come to him, said, "Don't be afraid, Paul. Don't be afraid, for I will bring you before Caesar. You've got to testify there. And I've give you everyone that sails with you."
I can see Paul run up there on the ship, and shake his little old hand, and holler, "Hallelujah," holler, "Wait a minute, brothers. Wait a minute."
They said, "Uh-oh, some man's done went so frantic he's lost his mind." There you are. And all the Doctors of Divinity come out to see what was the matter.
Said, "Be of a good courage. Be of a good courage."
Said, "Poor fellow, he's gone crazy there. There it is. He's been fasting so long. He's done all this, and he's just about gone now."
Said, "Be of a good courage, for there stood by me last night the Angel of God, Whose servant I am, saying, 'Don't you fear, Paul, but you must be brought before Caesar. And lo, God's give you all those who sail with you.'" Said, "Howbeit the ship must be wrecked upon a certain island, for I seen it in a vision. But I believe God, that it shall be just as He showed it to me." And it happened word by word by word, just exactly. That's right.

L-142 Now, then I want you to notice a little something, so you can see on the other side, a view of it. Look. When they let the boats down and started to slip off, Paul said, "The only way that you can be saved is to remain on this boat." You had to do it according to THUS SAITH THE LORD. The Lord had give a vision, but it had to be done according to His way.

L-143 And when God gives a pattern of the Holy Ghost church, brother, and how to bring this thing out of chaos... You can have big-fours, and pentagons, and everything you want to have; you can ordain churches and ministers, and make theology and educate them. It'll never be done till the people comes back again to God's eternal way, and receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and go forth, preaching, with signs and wonders accompanying their ministry. It'll never be done anything less than that. God's got the program, but you've got to come to the program.
O God, help us tonight, Brother Neville. Help us tonight to believe that, is my prayer.
"For there is salvation in no other name, but in the Name of the Lord Jesus."

L-146 Now, as we're approaching Christmas time now, and here the things are decorated all up with Santa Claus instead of Jesus... They don't even spell it any more. "X-m-a-s," they don't even spell "Christ" in Christmas any more. They put up... Why, the people never--never even think about the birth or anything of Christ, what it's really for. Only thing they think about is Santa Claus took its place. And instead of rejoicing under the Spirit of God, they go out and get drunk and rejoice. See? That's what makes the difference.
