<TITLE>15. Par 38-39</TITLE>L-38 All right. Come here, lady. Now, I want to ask you; here stands a woman, standing here again tonight, I believe it was few nights ago, the same thing. The lady is a--a colored woman. And she from her beginning, her state, she's an Ethiopian, and I'm an Anglo-Saxon, or the white race. The same thing taken place at Samaria, when Jesus met the Samaritan woman. And she said, "It's not customary for You to have any dealings with us." 'Cause they had a racial affair in that day. But Jesus plainly let her know that there was no difference in people. That's right.
"For men neither worship in this mountain or at Jerusalem," He said, "but the men worship God in Spirit and truth, and the Father seeketh such to do so." See? Spirit and truth.
Now, this is an example. Here's the woman, I suppose we're strangers to each other, don't know one another. But God knows both of us. And He knows her as Ethiopian; He knows me as Anglo-Saxon. And we're both of the same blood. God made of one nation, one man, blood... Every human being has the same kind of blood. Can give trans... The Chinese, the Japanese, the yellow, the brown, the black, or white, they're all the same blood, just the color of their skin. So Jesus Christ died for both of us.
We stand here tonight, her a Christian; I know she's a Christian, 'cause... How do I know that? Just the same way that Jesus knowed that Philip was a--a believer. See? He said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there is no guile (honest and truthful.)" I never seen her before, so how did I know she's a Christian? Because moving in is a welcome spirit. See? She's a Christian. She believes.
Now, she's here for some purpose. God knows that, I don't. But if He reveals it, then Christianity of A.D. 33 is in operation in 1955. Is that right? Then Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever, isn't He? As with the apostles...

L-39 God bless you now, while we pray and I talk to the lady just a few moments. Now, I'm speaking to you, in the prayer line. Now, if you're standing there without sufficient faith, if you're there just a little skeptical, I don't know. But I'll tell you, if you are, have... In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, if you firmly don't believe this to be of God, step out of the line, because you'll probably get in more trouble than you are, where you're standing there. See? Just remember that. See? Because your prayer card brings you here (See?), that gives you a right to come here. But out yonder that's His selection. If the people out there without prayer cards, that's what He selects. This is the people that was just called by number. So I won't know who you are, and what you're coming here for. But when He shows visions out there, it'll be someone that He wants to know something about (You see?), or to say something. The Lord bless you.
Now, lady, as a believer, with you in the Lord Jesus, and His great love and omnipotence, and I'm just... You say, "Brother Branham, what are you... I'm just talking to you, to... 
See, it's just like tuning an instrument. You see? I know that you're a believer. I know that, because your spirit feels welcome. But now, there's something that you've got on your mind, something they you want done, or a favor you want to ask God, or something. And now, to do that, I don't know. So, it's just like tuning an instrument. If you don't understand, you tune it, and tighten it and loosen it until it tunes right in. Then you've got the...?... you know, to make the melody (See?) same way. And that's the reason I talk to the people just first, and these here, there's so many out there, that's pulling through the balcony, and everywhere, just a weakening process, constantly, all the time. It's people, their faith. See?
