95 And remember, He is the Word. See? No matter what anyone else thinks, it’s the Word. See? If you’re a prisoner to the Word, no denomination can sway you from It. It’s—it’s the Word. You’re just…You’re a prisoner to It, that’s all. You must act the way It acts.
96 Now, he could not go certain places that he wanted, because (why?) the Spirit forbade him. You remember, many time, that Paul was trying to go some place, thinking, “There is where I could have a great meeting,” but the Spirit would forbid him. Now, does that clearly state and prove that Paul was a prisoner? A prisoner to Jesus Christ, harnessed to His Word, by the Spirit! Oh! I like that. Uh-huh.
97 He was bound. He was bound by a chain, and by fetters of love, to do the will of God, and that only. He was a prisoner. He was in a fetters of love. He was in the yoke with Christ. He could yoke up with nothing else. He was yoked with Him. And where the Lead went, that’s where he had to go. Regardless of how green the pasture was, here on this side or that side, he had to go the way the Leader and the yoke went.
