<TITLE>05. Par 41-51</TITLE>L-41 To the man that's lost in the wilderness, the compass is the thing that guides him to the outward. When we're in trouble, there's only one thing; it's just as sure as the north star. As long as the world stands in its position, and turns around, the north star will remain in its place.

L-42   And long as there is an Eternity, Christ will ever be the Saviour, and the way out of every problem, every difference, every trial, everything. And therefore we--we, when we are tied to Him, we don't get flusterated and all worked up like the world does, "And, oh, what will we do about this? What will we do about that?" We seem as if we're not even anchored. But a man who has anchored his soul into Christ Jesus, his trust there, knowing that when he asks the Father anything in His Name, "Jesus said, 'I'll do it.'" That settles it.

L-43 That, that settles it. It's the amen. It's the absolute. It's the ultimate. When Jesus said, "Ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll grant it." Now, that's an ultimate. That's it. "Whatever you have need of, when you pray, believe that you receive it, you shall have it." That settles it. That's all of it, see, if we're really anchored and believe It, and we've made Him our Absolute. Cause, He does. He is the Absolute that takes us from all fear. There's no fear when you're really tied to the Rock of Ages.

L-44   There is no fear to the sailor, how hard the ship is being buffet by the waves, as long as that anchor is holding in the top of the mountain yonder. Why, sure. He knows the ship is going to stay up. It isn't going against some rock somewhere. It isn't going to get in some shallow water and be turned over, because it's got the absolute anchored in the top of some mountain.

L-45 And when a man can pray the prayer of faith, and anchor his soul yonder in the Word of God, where, "all heavens and earth will pass away, but that Word cannot," there is no fear. Let them come, say whatever they want to. Our faith is in God, God alone. We believe it.

L-46   There was a time that when the table manners of this nation rested upon the word of a woman. I believe her name was called Emily Post. Now, she was the absolute to table manners. If Emily Post said, "Take and eat your beans with your knife," that was it. That was it, because she was the absolute for table manners. If she said, "Drink your coffee out of your saucer, and sup it as you did," no matter how sloppy it sound, it was still the absolute. Everybody bowed to it because they taken her to be the absolute of table manners.

L-47 We've got to have an absolute no matter what we're doing. If we're ever going to achieve anything, we've got to have an absolute.

L-48   There was a time when Hitler's word was an absolute in Germany. No matter what anybody else said, Hitler's word was an absolute. If he said, "They die," they die. If he said, "They live," they live. And if he said, "We go to war," or, "We do not go to war," whatever we do, his word was an absolute.

L-49 There was a time that when Italy had an absolute. That was the word of their dictator, Mussolini, what he said do. They said his chauffeur drove up, one minute early, to get him. He shot him. Why? He said, "I don't want you here one minute early. I want you here on the dot, exactly time." See? His word was absolute. All Italy bowed to it.

L-50   There was a time when Pharaoh, in Egypt, was an absolute. But you see...

L-51 But all these decisions that they made were man-made decision, and they all fell. Why? Because they were not in accordance with human... It wasn't in accordance with God's Word for human life. I want that, I hope, to anchor. If we expect to save human life, we've got to come in accordance with God's Word and God's plan for human life. And the only way you're going to find this, is to find it in His Word, and believe it, now.
