<TITLE>11. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 Now, she'd been plagued with a hemorrhage for years and years. Spent all of her money, given to the--to the doctors, and the doctors couldn't do her any good. So she heard Jesus was down there at the river, or the lake. So she pressed through the crowd, and touched His garment, and turned around, and went back out into the audience. Jesus stopped; He said, "Who touched Me?"
And everybody denied it; nobody did it. Jesus said, "But I perceive that virtue's gone out of Me." What is virtue? Strength. "I perceive that I have got weak. Somebody touched Me."
And the apostles said, "Why, everybody's touching You."
Now, that's what it is today. With your education, with your imagination, you might do all kinds of touching. But I ain't, that ain't the touch we're talking about. We're talking about a touch that brings a result, that brings a virtue.

L-39 Well, if He could be touched that day with the feeling of their infirmities, the Bible tells us in Hebrews that He could be touched today with the feeling of our infirmities. He's the High Priest that could be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. Is that right? Then if you can touch Him today, you're bound to get the same results that that woman got, if He's risen from the dead and among the people tonight.
And if He has risen from the dead and with the people tonight, the same thing has got to take place today, or He isn't Jesus raised--risen from the dead. We've got some other spirit on us, or we got some other theology we're teaching, but He isn't in same Jesus, if He doesn't do the same thing. Amen. You get it? He's got to be the same.

L-40 And the woman touched Him, and she went away from Him. And He perceived that somebody touched Him, so He looked around. Said, "Who touched Me?"
Everybody said, "Not me."
The little woman said, "Not me."
All of them, "Not me."
And the apostle said, "Behold, why, everybody touching You. Why say, 'Who touched Me?'"
He said, "But I've gotten weak; somebody touched Me." He looked around, till those sacred eyes found the little woman. He pointed her out; said, "Your faith's healed you now." You see it?
Now, if He's risen from the dead, He's got to do the same thing now, or He isn't Jesus. It isn't the same Jesus. If you're worshipping a spirit that isn't that kind of a spirit, then you got the wrong spirit. That's right? Now, you can weigh that with your church.

L-41 Now, that's the faith that was introduced to the early Christians, the saints. You see what I mean? He went up. One day He was going to the way of Jericho. But He had need of going by the way of Samaria. I wonder why? Now, Samaria's up this way, and Jericho's down this way. Jerusalem's on a hill; Jericho sets here, and Samaria sets over here. Instead of going right down that way, He went around this a way. Up around the way of Samaria. Oh, you ought to see the Orient once; I'm to be back there again in a few weeks.
Notice, and in there... Wish we had time to go into it, but we don't, to explain the layout, so you'd understand it better, but you just catch this. I pray that the Holy Ghost in these few mixed up words will bring it right to you, so you'll see, and the teaching.
