Question

What did God give to lead the Church?

Answer

And they’ll have a little puddle out there in the middle of this lake and that cold wind. They’ll discuss the subject, I guess, about the cold wind coming down, and they’ll raise right up off of that lake, and go just as straight to Louisiana as they can go. And he’s never been off that lake. Why? He’s got a God-given instinct. God…the… All the rest of the ducks knows that that is their leader and they have perfect confidence. If he goes this a way, they go that way. If he goes this a way, they go that way. And wherever he goes they… But somehow or other he lands up in Louisiana, in the rice fields, escaping all the winter. Well, if—if a duck’s got sense enough to escape the cold wave, what about a Church that’s borned again. The only thing of it is; we don’t know our leader. Hallelujah. Brother, God give the Holy Ghost to the Church, not organization. He give the Holy Ghost to lead the Church, and we’ve adopted organizations for it. Hallelujah. The Holy Ghost wants to come and bless the people and lead them into deep rivers, and the green pastures and things, but the organization won’t let them do it: holds them back.
