<TITLE>16. Par 98-104</TITLE>L-98 So, you see, you need the Guide. He will guide you to Truth, and Truth is the Word. He will guide you. And it's always has been. God don't never have to change nothing, 'cause He's infinite and He knows what's best. He's omnipresent; He's omniscient; He's--He's everything. It's right, God is, so He don't have to change. All right.
He is a Confirmer of the way He's leading you. The Holy Ghost, the Guide, is the Confirmer of the same Word that He's teaching. Now, Luke was led by the Guide to say, "Go ye into all the world, preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; in My Name they shall cast out devils, speak with new tongues, take up serpents, drink deadly things, lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." And the Bible said that, they went forth everywhere, led by the Guide, you know, preached the Word, with signs following. What was it? The Guide vindicating that was the Truth.

L-100 That was God's policy. That's the way it was laid down. That's His program; He can't change from it, because He's infinite. Amen. He can't change from it; He's God. I can change; I'm a man. You can change; you're a man or woman. But God cannot change. I'm finite; I can make mistakes and say things wrong; all of us can. But God can't and be God. His first decision is perfect. The way God acts on the scene, that's the way He's got to act every time. If He's called on the scene to save a sinner, He saves him on the basis of one thing. The next time a sinner comes, He's got to act the same way, or He acted wrong when He acted the first time. Amen. I love Him. I know it's the Truth.

L-101 I'm fifty-three years old, been preaching the Gospel here for thirty-three and a half years, I've never seen it fail. I've seen It tested seven times around the world in all kinds of religions and everything else, before as many as a half a million at one time, and never has It failed. I don't speak from some book. I speak from personal experience, that I know that God stands behind His Word and honors It. Now, if you have some kind of a creed, you better watch that. But the Holy Spirit will back up the Word of God.
In St. John the 1st chapter and the 1st verse, he said... He is the Word. He is the Guide. "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelled among us." My.

L-103 Peter was led to say on Acts 2:38, how to receive the Holy Ghost; he said, "Repent, every one of you, then be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for remission of your sins, and then the Guide will take you from there on." Yeah, that's the thing to do. First, repent of your sins, your unbelief, that you've disbelieved these things. Repent, and then be baptized, and then the Guide will take you from there on. See, that's your duty. It's your duty to repent. It's your duty to be baptized. Then it's the Guide's duty to take you from there on, lead you from virtue to knowledge, to temperance, to patience, to godliness, and to brotherly love, and the Holy Ghost seals you. See? Then you're a full statue of God, a real man of God, a real woman of God, anchored away in Christ. I love that, that anchored away in Christ.

L-104 Yeah, Mark was led by the Holy Ghost to write Mark 16, of course. John was led when he wrote Revelation. He was led by the Guide. He was also led by the Guide to say, "Whosoever shall take one Word out of It, or add one word to It, the same will be taken, his part, out of the Book of Life."
Now, how you going to substitute something for the Word of God, and still say you're led by the Holy Ghost? Don't make sense, does it? No, sir. It doesn't.
