<TITLE>11. Par 107-117</TITLE>L-107   It was asked one time, Paul and Silas. The Philippian jailer, he said, "What can I do to have Eternal Life?"

L-108 He said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou and thy house!" Why? If he truly, not make-believe, but believe! Jesus said, "These signs," in Mark 16, "shall follow," not maybe, "shall follow those that believe." And if you've got faith enough for your own salvation, you can also claim your family, by faith. If you've got that kind of faith, your faith can help your family, "thou and thy house."

L-109   And Noah's family, seeing that the father, a good man, was pounding away, his sons and his daughter-in-laws, and so forth, come pounding away with him, bearing the reproach of the Word. You always have to do that. The Kingdom of God doesn't come without trials. Men press into It, into the Kingdom of God; not observation. Now, but it paid off, in saving his life. We could stay hours on Noah.

L-110   But let's go to another one, by the name of Daniel. Being a prophet, the opportunity become God's prophet. And the Word of God comes only to a prophet. No other way. It always comes to a prophet.

L-111 Sh, just a moment. [A brother speaks in another tongue. A brother gives an interpretation--Ed.] Amen. Thank the Lord. We understand. Maybe to those who would not understand, a businessman, I--I wouldn't say nothing critical about that. See, it must be an important thing, that the Holy Spirit would break in upon the Message, to do such a thing, give a warning.

L-112 Now we believe in unknown tongues, as a gift. I used to think that it was wrong. When I was just first come among the people, I thought that maybe those people, speaking in tongues, maybe was just putting that on. But I wouldn't say nothing, because, remember, we can blaspheme the Holy Spirit, that's, talk about wrong thing. So I find out, when I went to Africa and traveled the world over, there isn't a sound without a significance of it. Every little cluck and move has a meaning of some sort.

L-113 Then we just keep still till the Holy Spirit speaks Its word back. And that's the reason, perhaps, He broke in on the Message, to say, as I understood it, I hope I did, that, "Hear the Words of the Lord, and to obey the Words of the Lord." Now, just remember, that wasn't me. That was men, gifted men, with speaking with other languages. And--and the men, themselves, would not do that, I don't think. When a Message was going on, they wouldn't speak it, if it wasn't something that the Holy Spirit was urgently getting to maybe one soul here. I don't know. See, I don't know nothing about that, that's up to God. See? But we always want to respect and give reverence to anything that God would do.

L-114   Now back to the thought of the policyholders, of the very policy that these men are also filled with, to do these works now, to bring in the midst of a Message, something to inject in there and say, "This is the Holy Spirit," other words, "speaking to you."

L-115 Daniel, was the one that we was talking to... He was a policyholder. He was a man filled with God's Spirit. Because the Word was in Daniel, Daniel was a prophet.

L-116 And the Bible said, in Hebrews the 1st chapter, "In di-... times of old, God, in divers manners, many places, spoke to the fathers by the prophets." Now the prophet is a compound word, which means "a revealer of the Scripture" and "a foreteller of things that is to come," to show that God doesn't change His Message. Every age, God has always used, not an organization, nor a group or a system, but a man.

L-117 And the unchangeable God, He made one way in the garden of Eden, that men should be saved, that's by the Blood. We can have educational systems and denominational systems, but God turns it down. It still remains Blood. That's the only way.
