<TITLE>15. Par -</TITLE>L-23-6 It's your North Star when you're lost at sea. You know, we got a lot of stars, but there's only one true star, and it don't move; that's the North Star, 'cause it sets in the center of the earth. No matter whether you're on the backside, upside, or wherever you're at, that North Star is just the same. It's your North Star.
Now, you see, there's a lot of stars that shift from place to place. But if you're in a--on the sea, why, any seaman knows; or any hunter that roams the woods, knows that your North Star is your--is your place; that's all. Then it's like your--your--your compass. Your compass won't point to Mars, or Jupiter, or somewhere; it'll point to the North Star. Why? That's your absolute.

L-24-2 Oh, my. Notice, your absolute. Oh, I'm going to say something; I just feel it coming on. Notice. I feel very religious at this time, because this is the assurance. Notice. Your compass can only point to the North Star. That's the only place it can point. If it's a true compass it'll strike the North Star every time. Is that right? Then if you have the Holy Spirit, It can only point to the Word. It'll never point to a denomination; It'll never point to a creed; It'll never point away somewhere; It'll point straight to the Word. I feel like shouting.
Notice, it's--it's something inside of man, pulsating. When you see your Star standing out yonder, Jesus Christ, the Word, and you see the Spirit that's in you won't let It move right or left, that's the only One that can... He come to take the things of God and to show them and manifest them.
And Jesus said, "He'll do just exactly the things that I say. He'll reveal to you things that is to come--show you ahead of time, before it gets here." See? "He'll take the things that are Mine and will show them to you. And then He'll show you things that is to come." John 15.

L-24-5 We see that He shows the things; and He takes the things that are God's and will show them to you; and He will reveal to you the things that Jesus said. In other words, He'll make plain the thing. (Place that way over in the corner tonight, 'cause that's what we're going to use in a little while.) Making sure, making that positive (See?) then you know if you--your North Star, which is the Word to any Christian... Anything contrary to the Word...
Look. Let me tell you something. Listen to this closely. This is the complete Divine revelation of God, His will, and the coming of Christ; and everything lays right in this Book completed. And if anything draws you off of That, throw that compass away, 'cause it's only a creed; it's only an organi--it's only a paper that you're packing in your pocket, got hanging in your room, framed; it's a creed. Then find the Compass that sets you to the Word. Amen.

L-25-1 You notice, when this experience hit Paul, he went down in Egypt and Arabia somewhere and studied three years. Glory. Whew. He had to be positive. And when he seen... When the Holy Spirit directed him Word by Word, he could write that Book of Hebrews and show those Jews. Certainly. Why? He was centered; that Compass of the Holy Spirit put him right on the North Star.
Now, if you got something pulling you off of It, you better leave it alone. That's right. It'll point to His Word and only to His Word, because the Holy Spirit came to manifest or vindicate God's promise. There's no creed will do that; no organization will do it; no powers or nothing can do it, only the Holy Spirit by the Word; and He is the Germ.
