<TITLE>22. Par 181-188</TITLE>L-181 The Word, if you are predestinated, you see It. There's no way to hide It from you. You look there and say, "Why, It's just so plain before my face! I'd look at It; there It is. I'm looking right at It. I see It. Here It is, the Word; every Word, just Word by Word, living out." Then there's a taste of Eternal Life that you want.
And when you breathe through That, what can come through That, God's Filter? Nothing but the Spirit; no world, at all; no unbelief, at all. It's God's Filter. And when you breathe through That, nothing can get through That but the Holy Ghost.

L-182   Now you got the evidence of the Holy Ghost, see, a holy man or woman's taste. They want to live. They got Eternal Life. And because this Word is quickened to them, they live; a thinking man's Filter, and a holy man's taste.

L-183 Don't take the world, like them cigarette companies, under a deception, but take the real thinking man's Filter. Filter the breath that you breathe, the food that you eat, everything that you are; breathe it through God's Word, and you'll have a holy man's taste. For, It will produce that, for He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-184 And I know, whether we are or whether we are not... I believe that we are. But, if we are not, there is somebody in the world today that's part of the Body of Christ; and It will live only by the Word of God, every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God for this age that we're living in now.

L-185   And I can't see where denomination... Those Words so plainly in the Bible, said it would happen, and the things that would be, and here we are living right in it now. I can't see where it could be anything else but this.

L-186 Church, I realize I've got to stand with you in the Judgment someday. Far be it from me to ever tell you anything wrong, for popularity. I don't want that. If I had my desire, I'd, just my human desire, I'd take my rifle and go to the woods and build me a cabin, and trap, the rest of my life. I'm getting old, tired, weary, and broke down, but I can't quit. There is something in me, grinding. Woe unto me if I don't tell the Truth and the whole Truth. Woe unto me if I don't stand here till the last breath of body has left me. I must stand, regardless of what anyone else says. I'm responsible before God.

L-187   And I truly believe that the things that we are preaching is the Truth. Not because it's me preaching it. No, my brother. No, sir. God knows my heart. How I would like to set out in the congregation and listen to the anointed preach. How much easier it would be on me, certainly 'cause I'd have Eternal Life the same as the man in the pulpit. I'm a part of It the same as he is. I'd go to the same Heaven, have the same privileges. How easy it would be for me to set out there and not take all these bruises, and beats, and carry on. How easy it would be, for out the all night with no sleep, an hour and a half, or two hours; wrestling all night with things that's come up. How easy for me to do that, take up my gun the next morning, my fishing rod, and go fishing or hunting! How easy it would be! But, brother, it fell my lot. May God help me to never shun my post of duty, but to stand loyal and true, and produce to you a thinking man's Filter that'll give you a holy man's taste.

L-188 The thinking-man Filter is the waters, of the waters of separation. It's the purification from sin, which is the Word of God. And the thinking man, the man that knows he's got to stand before God, knows he's got to answer for every Word of the Bible, It'll satisfy that taste that's in your heart. May God help us to receive It, as we bow our heads.
