<TITLE>13. Par 75-79</TITLE>L-75 Look at them old geese, from plumb from Alaska. Now, there's an old gander always leads them, and them geese has to look that gander over real good. They have to know what that gander's talking about. Did you read that in "Look" magazine here about four years ago, where an old gander one time didn't know what he was doing, and he led a bunch of geese all the way over to England? That's right. They never was knowed to be in England before. Why? They never noticed their--their leader. That old gander didn't know where he was going. And now they're over there and can't get back.

L-76 That's what's the matter with a whole lot of these geese today; they still swarm. They say, that "Look" magazine said, these geese swarm and fly all around over England, but they don't know how to get back. That's the way it is with some of the geese that I know of. You have a swarm, and a big protractive meeting, and have some revivalist to come along and preach awhile, but you don't know where you're going: swarming around and around, because you've got some gander to lead you off on a denominational spree, and not back to the Word of God, back to the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And then they wonder why we ain't got revival in our days. See? You got to get that certain Sound. That Sound is the Gospel trumpet breathing out the Gospel, every Word of God: not creed, not denomination, but the Bible, the Holy Spirit. "These signs shall follow them that believe." See? And there they go down the road.

L-77 One old gander one time, they said, got a bunch killed, trying to fly them through the darkness, didn't know where he was going himself, and they all hit against the mountains out there, and some of them disintegrated, bursted up. Sure. They got to know their certain sound. That little old duck, if he's got the certain sound, and everybody knows it; they have a little swarming jubilee and away they go to the south. What do they go down there for? Where it ain't cold.
Now, if God give a duck enough sense to know how to dodge the coldness, how ought He to have give the church? If a duck can do that by instinct, what about the Holy Ghost in the church? It ought to lead us from old formalities and creeds and things into a glorious wonderful baptism of the Holy Ghost, where there's virtue, knowledge, patience, godliness, and the Holy Spirit. That's what the real Guide will lead, 'cause He'll breathe out nothing but the Gospel, just the Word of God. Sure, you need a Guide.

L-79 When the wise men, they didn't know nothing about God. They were, they were magic-workers, magicians. They were over in the orients. You know, the Bible said, "We have seen His Star in the east, come to worship Him." They were from the west, they looked east and saw His Star--or looked west, they was in the east. We were in the east, and saw His Star in the west. See? "We have seen His Star in the east." And, see, they were in the east. "When we were in the east we saw the Star, and we've come to worship Him."
