<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>54-0810, Prayer Line, Shriner Temple, Los Angeles, CA, no tape
L-1 And now, if Jesus has raised from the dead, and He'll do the same thing here at the platform that He did to Nathaniel, to the woman at the well, and all through the Scriptures, how many out there, you newcomers, say, "I will accept it; I'll believe it'd be the Lord Jesus?" Will you raise your hand and say, "I'll accept it"? Thank you. Thank you kindly. Now, may He do it. And may He--Hi--His poor humble servant here, find grace in His sight.
As far as I know, there's not a person in the building, outside of the platform here, that I know of. You don't have to be on the platform. How many out there doesn't have prayer cards and wants God to heal you? Just raise your hand and say, "I--I want God to heal me." Well, what I want you to do is look this way and believe that I told you the truth.

L-2 Now, if I've told you the truth, a man can come through California, here... And I was on Pershing Square not long ago; they can say anything. But look, brother, when God speaks of it and says it's the truth, then you'd better believe God. See? A man can say anything. But the Bible in Hebrews the 11th chapter, the 2nd verse, it said that God confirms His gifts. He vindicates them, makes them known to be truth. And may God do it tonight: His gift Jesus Christ, the greatest gift the world ever had. May He confirm and prove to you tonight by His great power, through His humble servant, that Jesus raised from the dead. And it's for one alternative that you--you might believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. For He's the only Hope of salvation.

L-3 You bring the lady. Now, after preaching, I... Just a moment till we get quietened. And I'll ask, if you will, Christians, in the Name of our Lord Jesus, let every person keep seated, keep reverent, keep praying. I like to rejoice. But when you're coming to God, you've got to come sane, sensibly, reverent. Then after God does something for you, then give Him praise and rejoice as much as you wish to. But first, come reverent; listen to the Holy Spirit; see what He says. Now, here's the whole thing; it's submitting yourself to the Holy Spirit.
The woman standing there, I suppose she may be Spanish, looks a little like it. But I never seen her and she... You never seen me, I suppose. We're perfectly strangers to each other, but God knows both of us. And there's not a person in the building that I see anywhere, besides what's behind me here, that I know of, 'less it's Brother and Sister Shakarian, the business man setting right there. Every one else to me is a stranger. But there's none of you strangers to God. He knows every one of you.

L-4 Now, what if the Lord Jesus was standing here with this suit on He give me? What would He say to this woman? Now, if she's sick, I don't know; God does. But whatever that was wrong with her, He'd talk to her first. Now, as far as healing her, He'd say... If she's sick, He'd say, "I've already done that. You just believe it." But now, He would have power to maybe, like He talked to the woman at the well, He said, "Bring Me a drink." and begin to carry the conversation.
She said, "It's not customary for the Jews to ask Samaritans such."
Said, "But if you know Who you was talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." Her conversation went on. What was He doing? This is to my--my thought: He was catching her spirit. And when He caught her spirit He found out where her trouble was. And He told her her trouble. Said, "Go get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any."
Said, "That's right. You got five."
So she run into the city, saying, "Come, see a Man that's told me everything I ever did. Isn't this the very Christ?"
