<TITLE>16. Par 58-61</TITLE>L-58 And when this service is over, perhaps I'll be weak and not know when it ends, but I pray that as you leave the doors tonight, it won't be as a critic, but you'll go saying, like them who come from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us?" You know why their hearts burned? They walked with Jesus all day long, over there, but He done something kindly peculiar that other men didn't do it that way, and they know it was Him. Is that right?
Now, I pray... Look this a way, Christians. You've been to church. You've been saved. You've got the blessings of God with you, you people and your fine churches around Chicago, but I pray that our Lord Jesus will do something just a little different tonight, that'll make you know that He's raised from the dead, like those from Emmaus. And may you return to your home saying, "Our hearts are burning within us." That's my prayer.

L-59 And now, Holy Spirit, behold your servant, Lord. I have preached the best that I know how to tell the people that You have risen from the dead, and Your compassion and mercy is just as great for them today as it was then. And realizing that Your hands tonight, is our hands, and You only have hands as we have them. You only have, as we submit ourselves to You and take our own selves out of the picture, You can work with us. I pray that You'll do it with Your humble servant, for the glory of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and for the fulfilling of His Word in this generation. Amen. Now, may the Lord Jesus...
Did you get them all lined up, Billy Paul? All--all right.

L-60 Would you come, Lady. Now, to you people coming in the line, remember this, and to out in the audience, whatever He says, do.
And now, at this time, they... Many of you has got the picture. I wished you could--not to--in order to sell the picture, but that you could all get that picture and get that write-up. It's marvelous. Now, that same Being, that the scientific world has recognized to be a supernatural Being, at the day of the judgment, when I will stand before every one of you, It isn't standing three feet from where I am right now. See? Now... Now, It hasn't come into me yet, but It's standing here, and It will perhaps, in a few moments. It's the One Who does the discerning. May the Lord bless. Now, He is here. Thanks be to the Lord.

L-61 Now, I... Lady, you being the first one here to the platform tonight, I am a stranger to you, I supposingly.
Now, when our Lord went up to... He was going to Jericho, and He went up the way of Samaria to a--for a purpose. He said He did as the Father told Him. And then, setting there, He come in contact with the Samaritan woman. (Be like a--a colored woman would be tonight. See?) And--and He said, "Bring Me a drink."
And otherwise, the Jews didn't have any dealings with the Samaritans, and they said, "Why, it's not customary for You to have any dealings." They had no...
But He let them know that that race-bound, was broken. He said--He said, "If you only knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." And the conversation went on. She realized that she was standing by some great Person. And then, after while, after He talked to her awhile, catching her human spirit, He saw where her trouble was, for He was the King of seers. And He said, "Go, get you husband."
She said, "I have none."
Said, "You have five." He went right straight to her trouble.
