<TITLE>14. Par 45-47</TITLE>L-45 Too bad that spirit didn't die in that day, but it didn't. Notice, the people it was on died, but the spirit still lives. Just like the Holy Spirit, God takes His man, but never His Spirit. The devil takes his man, but never his spirit. The spirit of those teachers still live today. The teachers are dead, but demons still live on, possessing whatever they can, very scholarly and so forth, "but denying... Having a form of godliness," said the Bible, "but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
Notice. Now, in the teaching here. She said, "I know when Messiah cometh, He will tell us those things."
He said, "I am He that speaketh to thee."
What a shock that must have been to that woman. "I am He that speaketh unto thee." It startled her. "Well, I'm a stranger, and how would You know anything about me? Well, you must be a prophet. Well what prophet are you? We know when Messiah cometh, he's going to do those things."
When Jesus comes He's going to do that. Now, Jesus if Jesus did come and do that, then if Jesus has raised from the dead, and the same yesterday, today, and forever, He still does it, or He's not Jesus. Right.
"We know when Messiah cometh, He will do these things. But Who are you? Are You a prophet?"
He said, "I am he, the Messiah."
And she left the water pot and in the city she went, all excited, and said, "Come, see a Man Who told me everything I ever done." Now, He didn't do that; He just told her that. He could've told her if the Father would've showed Him. But she said, "Come, see a Man. Isn't this the very Messiah?

L-46 Now, a little farther, they might know. Simon came one time, Jesus looked upon and said, "Well, your name's Simon, but from henceforth you shall be called Peter," a little stone. Told him his name when he come up. Strange, wasn't it? Said, "You're Simon." He did that many times. He knowed where a fish was had some coins in its mouth to pay some tithing. Wished I had time to tell you a little story like--something like that happened the other day. I will maybe later.

L-47 Notice, and then when this--this Jesus one time was standing among some people, and a little woman pressed through the crowd. She was so elated because she had heard of Jesus. Now, she elbowed her way through. She didn't care what they said; she wanted to get to where He was at. And when she got there she touched His garment, went back 'cause she was probably small in statue, had had a blood issue for several years. Probably lost a lot of blood and she'd gotten weak, so she crawled through the crowd; she just touched His garment, walked back and sit out in the audience.
Jesus stopped; He turned around, said, "Who touched Me?"
Why, everybody denied, "I never touched you."
Peter looked around, said, "Lord, You ask a question like that? Why, everybody's touching You. And why say, 'Who touched Me?'"
Why, He said, "I perceive that I'm getting weak." Virtue, weakness... "I perceive that virtue is going from me. I'm getting weak. Somebody touched Me. Their faith has touched Me."
And He looked around on the audience. Finally His eyes settled on the little woman. She had a blood issue. He said, "Thy faith has healed thee."
