<TITLE>14. Par 80-89</TITLE>L-80 I can imagine seeing those fellows getting ready to go. I can imagine one of their wives said to him, said, "Say, got everything all packed up, but where's your compass?"
He said, "Now, I ain't going to use a compass this time."
"Well, how you going to get across the mountains?" Remember, they had to cross the Tigris River and come down through the plains, and the--why, they had two-years' trip on camels. How they going to do it? Said, "We ain't even taking a compass."
Said, "No."
"How you going?"
"I'm going God's provided way. That Star yonder is going to lead me to that King." That's it.
"We have seen His Star in the east, and followed It all the way here in the west to worship Him. Where is He?" They followed God's provided way. They got tied up with a bunch of creeds down there a little while. They come into Jerusalem and begin to go up and down the street, these finest dressed people, saying, "Where is He? Where is He born King of the Jews?" Well, that was the head, that was Jerusalem. Surely the big church ought to know something about It. "Where is He? Where is He born King of the Jews? We have seen His Star in the east; we come to worship Him. Where is He?"
Why, they went over to Pastor So-and-so and to High Priest So-and-so; none of them knowed nothing about it. "Why, there's One born King of the Jews, where is He?" They didn't know.

L-85 But there was a bunch of shepherds out there on the hillside just having them a time (Yes, sir.), because they had come God's provided way.
So they stayed around there, and directly he said, "I'll tell you what we ought to do; we'll have a board meeting." So they called in the Sanhedrin Council, and--and thought if they heard anything about It. "No, we didn't know nothing about It."
That's the same thing it is today. They don't know nothing about this Guide, this Holy Ghost that heals, fills, saves, coming again. The Guide that's told us all these things would happen, here we are right in the midst of them. A Discerner of the thoughts of the heart, they know nothing about that; they call It mental telepathy or something. They don't know what to say about It.

L-88 So, you see, those wise men, as long... Remember, when they entered into Jerusalem, the Star disappeared. And as long as you look for creeds and denominational men to lead you to God, the help of God will leave you. But when they got sick and tired of it, and left them, left the creeds and denominations of those Jews, and went out of Jerusalem, then the Star appeared again and they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. They saw the Guide again. Oh, how it is, get on some old cold formal church, then get back to a good one on fire, see the Guide leading, what a difference it is. Yeah, "We have seen His Star in the east and have come to worship Him."

L-89 Joshua said to them, "Now, you follow the Ark, 'cause you've never been this way before." God won't permit that Ark to go anywhere but right. Everyone followed It, and It went right across Jordan.
Same is today, by the Holy Spirit. Yes, sir. The only thing that we know, whether it's the Holy Spirit or not, we see the manife--manifestations of It, the manifestations a-vindicating the Word of God.
