<TITLE>29. Par 72-75</TITLE>L-72 You remember old, blind Bartimaeus, sitting at the gate? His faith stopped Jesus when He was on His road to Calvary. Just think. An old blind beggar, stopped the Lord Jesus Christ right in His road, and His mind set on Calvary, going up to be crucified. And the people making fun of Him, and screaming at Him, and hissing at Him, but that old blind beggar, standing over there, his faith stopped Jesus right in the road. And he received his sight.
You can receive what you ask for if you'll just believe. All right. All lined up, Paul, everything okay? All right. Have faith.
Now, this lady here...
Now, it happens to be tonight, audience, that you know I'm stalling for something; that's exactly right; 'cause until that anointing comes, it's just like that microphone. It can't talk itself; it's got to have something alive to talk in it. That's all. And now, I don't know what to say. I just have to stand here till He comes. And I'm waiting for Him. That's exactly. That's the reason we wanted the music to play "Only Believe."

L-73 Let's sing real slowly, just once, will you altogether, "Only Believe" now.
Only believe, only believe, 
All things are possible, only believe;
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe.
Now, in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, I take every spirit here under my control for the glory of God.

L-74 Now, this lady standing here, to me is a total stranger; I've never seen her in my life. Perhaps she's never seen me as I know of. We are strange to each other, but you just seen me since I've come here, just seen me from the audience. Well now, I want you, lady, as I speak to you, just knowing that it's... Our Lord...
Let's take this little story again; usually it works wonderful. Our Lord was going down to Jericho one day and He said He must need go up to Samaria. I wonder why. I think the Father told Him to go up there. He sent His disciples away, and He said to His disciples to go in the city and buy something to eat. So while they were gone away, a lady come out to the well to get some water. Jesus said, "Bring Me a drink." It's a man and a woman talking. 
And she said, "The well is deep and you have nothing to draw with, and it's not customary for Jews to ask Samaritans any such things as that, any favors, because we don't have any association together."
And He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to you'd ask Me for a drink." He went on carrying the conversation. Now, I think... Now, I couldn't prove it by the Scripture; but the way that He works now, and then, it must be that this is what He was doing; He was trying to contact her spirit. The Father told Him to go up there just like He told me to come to Macon. See?

L-75 Well now, and here we are met. Well, then He had to contact her spirit to find out what the Father would say. So He talked to her a little while, directly, He found where her trouble was, and it was in a marriage condition. He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any."
He said, "That's right; you got five."
Then she turned and said, "Well, I perceive that You're a prophet." She said, "Now, I know when the Messiah cometh... (which was Christ)," said, "He will do this." See, that's the sign of the Messiah. Said, "He will do this." 
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you."
And upon that she run into the city and she said, "Come, see a Man that told me everything I ever done." Now, He didn't do that; she was just excited. See? He never told... But He could have done it if the Father would've showed Him, but He just only told her one thing: that was where her trouble was. And she believed Him to be the Messiah.
