<TITLE>17. Par -</TITLE>E-50f      ... same yesterday, today, and forever and how He's proved it in His meetings. If He was standing here, wearing my suit, or the suit that He gave me, rather, and was standing before you, He couldn't heal you, 'cause He did that when He died at Calvary. But He couldn't do no more for you than what He can working through His church right now. He could only give faith to something to make you have faith to--to believe Him. Is that right? Do something?

E-50g      Well then, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, let's look what type of person He was. Let's take our text tonight. One time when He was ministering, He just got started good. There was a fellow by name of Philip got saved, and he went and got a fellow named Nathanael. He said, "Come, see Who we found: Jesus of Nazareth."
And he--"Why," he said, "Could anything good come out of Nazareth?"
Said, "Come, see." 
And when he met Jesus, Jesus standing in a prayer line like this, he come up. He said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
Why, it astonished him. He said, "When did You know me, Rabbi?" or teacher, master.
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
Why he said, "You're the Son of God, the King of Israel." Is that right, sister? ...?...

E-50h      Now, if He's the same tonight, that would be me telling you, saying, "You are a Christian." Whether you are or not, I don't know. But say you are a Christian, then it would tell you something that you did maybe before you come to the meeting, or some other time, or something like that. That would make Him just the same yesterday, today, and forever.
He talked to a woman at the well. He said, "Bring Me a drink," get a conversation. I wonder why? Said, "Bring Me a drink."
Why, she said, "It's not customary for you Jews to ask Samaritans such. We have no dealings."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink, and I'd give you water you didn't come here to draw."
She said, "When can you get the water? The well's deep," and so forth.
What was He doing? He was contacting her spirit. He found... As soon as He found just exactly what her trouble was, He went right straight and told her: said, "Go get your husband."
She said, "I have no husband."
Said, "No, you got five."
Why, she said, "You're a prophet." And she run into the city, all excited, and said, "Come, see a Man that told me everything I ever done." Why, He never told her everything she ever done. Why, He just told her one thing. But if God could reveal that to you, He could reveal everything. Is that right?

E-50j      Now, you believe He's the same yesterday, today, and forever? You do? And do you believe that I'm His servant, His prophet? Then if I declare Him to be the same, then He--if He will, in His sovereign grace, He can let me know what's wrong with you. But if He doesn't, well, that's--that's God. See? If He wants to He can.
But being that you are a Christian woman, I believe that He will. Now, I just want you to listen to me as I talk to you for a few minutes and try... Everyone be just as reverent as you can now. Don't... See? You realize there's people standing here: spirit, and there's spirit there; everybody praying and drawing at one time. To single out one to a vision, it's kindly hard.
