<TITLE>18. Par 178-183</TITLE>L-178 If we expect God to keep His Word, if we expect God to do the things for us that we're asking, we'll never be able to do it till we get back and obey what God said do. We've got to go back where we left off at. We got to go back to Pentecost. We got to go back to the Comforter. We got to go back to the Holy Spirit, which is our Comfort. And when the Holy Spirit come, It will not deny any Word It's ever said. It'll stay right with that Word, for It is the Word. Amen. No wonder...
Old blind Fanny Crosby never seen daylight, they asked her what she thought of Christ. She said:
Thou the Stream of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Or whom in heaven but Thee.
The Comforter is here.
The Comforter has come.
Oh, spread the tidings 'round,
Wherever man is found,
The Comforter has come!

L-180 What is it? God's Word anchored in your flesh, that gives you Eternal Life, that gives you the resurrection power to bring you from the things of the world, from blind traditions of man, to walk in the Sunlight of the health of God. That's what the Comforter does. It lifts you out of that cellar condition. It brings you up in the Presence of God, and gives you an experience with God, that you can scream with Job of old, "I know my Redeemer liveth."
Then if we see His Word, and we've refused to walk in the Light as He is in the Light, then our fellowship with God is cut off. But when we see the Light and walk in the Light, as He is the Light, then we have fellowship one with another; and the Blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from all sin.

L-182 We are fixing, in a few minutes, to break that bread, that kosher bread which represents that Word. Don't you never forget it. The comfort, the stream of all my comfort, the stream of my comfort tonight is I know that God keeps His Word. I know that something happened to me. I know that I've passed from death unto Life. I know that I keep His Commandments. If I... "If you love Me, keep My Commandments," He said. "If you love Me, do what I tell you to do. Let every man's word be a lie; let Mine be Truth." Don't follow what man said. Follow what God said, and there you find the Comforter. And the comfort brings you the satisfaction of knowing, it's THUS SAITH THE LORD.

L-183 Bow our heads. Great, Mighty Jehovah, as Fanny Crosby, I quoted a few moments ago, said, "Thou, the Stream of all my comfort," truly, Lord, I join with her tonight with this little church in saying, "Thou, the Stream of all my comfort..."
I'm holding beneath my hand some handkerchiefs from the sick, Lord. They go to them who are afflicted. I pray, Father, that You'll heal them.
You're the Word. And the Word comes among us, the Word dwells in us. "I will not leave you comfortless. I will come again. A little while, and the world seeth Me no more, yet ye shall see Me, for I will be in you to the end of the world." How we thank You for that, Lord.
