<TITLE>12. Par 38-42</TITLE>L-38 Now, while they're lining up, I've saved a Scripture here, to read. Listen, at the disciples speaking to Jesus in Saint John 16. The disciples said unto Him, "Lo, now speaketh Thou plainly, speaketh in no proverb." Now, listen. "Now are we sure that Thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask Thee, by this we believe that Thou comest from God."
Jesus answered and said unto them, "Do you now believe? Do you now believe?"
I want to ask you as Jesus' disciples, and I am one of His disciples. You are one of His disciples. Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and forever, He does the same things here today, as He did when He was here. Is that right? Has He proved it to you this week? If He did, say, "Amen." Do ye now believe? Then let us give away every fear, every doubt, give over to Him, now, our hearts. Will you do that?

L-39 God in heaven knows that there's not a person in this auditorium right now, that I see, that I recognize, or know anything in the world about. You're all perfectly strangers to me. I believe this young man here, has been here a couple nights or something. I don't believe I know the organist. I believe there's a little girl, kindly had her hair cut down the other way. I don't you. All right. I know no one along the lines there, nowhere. There maybe some people here, knows me, but God knows I can't see one person now, that I recognize, anywhere in the building, not a one of you.
They say, Mr. Bosworth's way up in the gallery there, somewhere. But I--I can't even see him, 'cause it looks dark back in that way. Standing here, it looks different from you're... the light is shining on me, and that blinds it out there, till where I can see back. I can see people, but not too plain.

L-40 Now, if Christ is the same, which we know He is, then He can do tonight, what He done when Philip came to Him at the beginning of His ministry. Is that right? Philip said, "Could any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Or, I mean Nathanael.

L-41 Philip said, "Come and see." Jesus was standing in the prayer line, as He usually did, perhaps, praying for the sick. And when Philip come along to Him, or Nathanael, Jesus looked at Nathanael coming up the prayer line, or wherever it was. He said, "Behold, an Israelite, in whom there is no guile." Is that right? Why it astonished the man. In other words, if I'd say it tonight, I said, "There's a good truthful Christian."
Why, he said, "Whence knoweth thou me, Rabbi?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." Is that right?

L-42 Now, what if Nathanael would've said, "Now, wait a minute, He's reading my mind. It's psychology, or something, or mental telepathy."
Why, the story of it would never be written. But he said, "Thou art the Christ the Son of the living God." Is that right? Are you... Have you as much as faith as--faith as Nathanael had tonight?
When the woman at the well, when He ask her, "Go bring Me a drink."
She said, "It's not customary for You Jews to ask we Samaritans." He was trying to carry a conversation with her. Said, "It's not customary for You to do that."
Then He said, "If you knew Who you were speaking to, you'd ask Me for a drink. And I'd give You Water you don't come here to draw."
She said, "The well's deep."
He talked to her a little bit. Then He went right straight to her trouble. He said, "Go get your husband." Is that right? That's where her trouble was.
She said, "I have none."
Said, "No, you got five. And the one you have now is not your husband."
She said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet." And she ran into the city, knowing that the age was there.
She just said, "Messiah cometh." and she run in, said, "Come see a Man, Who told me all I ever done."
