<TITLE>09. Par 111-121</TITLE>L-111 Now, when someone tells you, "The days of miracles is past. There is no such a thing as Divine healing. The baptism of the Holy Ghost was for another age."

L-112 And then you turn over in the Bible and read where Peter said, at the Day of Pentecost, when they were all pricked in their heart. And they said to him, "Men and brethren, what shall we? What can we do to be saved?"

L-113 Now, if church joining would been what he said, he'd say, "You must find the--the body and--and join the church." Well, you see, there was such... wasn't such a thing in that day.

L-114 So he give them the exact prescription of what it takes. He told them what they must do, and how far it would be. He said, "Repent, every one of you, be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

L-115   Then how far is it? Jesus said, in Mark 16, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. These signs shall follow them that believe." See? How far? "All the world, to every creature," the Gospel is. "And these signs shall follow every one that believes: in My Name they shall cast out devils; speak with new tongues; or take up serpents or drink deadly things, it would not harm them; lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover."

L-116 Now, you see, you must get that absolute, that something that's real, that identifies you with Christ and His Word. Yes. The Word is Christ. And you must be sure that you can say "amen" to that Word, or your absolute is wrong.

L-117 You've got it built upon some creed. You say, "Oh, I believe Christ, but I don't believe that Stuff. I--I believe Christ, but I don't believe This." Then your absolute is wrong. Your absolute is in some creed, and not in Christ, because Christ is the Word.
He is also like the north star, He is, to a man that's lost.

L-118   Now, I hunt worldwide. And I been in the--in the wilderness. And sometimes, one of the best... If you can look up and you know the direction of the north star, he guides you out. And a--a--a man at sea, and when he's--he's lost, if he can only find the north star, he can direct himself then the way he's going. Now, that's when he's lost, he looks for the north star. Now, other stars shift, but that north star sets right in the center of the earth. No matter where the earth is turning, that north star remains the same. It points towards the north. It's the only true star, I understand, that we have, is that extremely north star. Now, it--it gives you your direction.

L-119   And that's what Christ is to you. If you want to go to Heaven, if you want to be saved, if you want to be filled with the Spirit, if you want to be Christ-like, Christ is your North Star. If you're lost, don't try to take a creed. He is your North Star. He is your Way. He is your Direction.

L-120   Then, if you--if you take Him as your North Star, then that absolutely places the Holy Spirit your Compass. Amen. The Holy Spirit is your Compass, and the Compass will only point to the North Star. And if you've got the baptism of the Holy Ghost, it can only point to Christ, and Christ is the Word. That's the way to find your way back. See?

L-121 You can't look up here and say, "This is shining. This star shines here." And after while it's somewhere else. See? You've got to get somewhere where it's absolutely established.
