<TITLE>22. Par 69-71</TITLE>L-69 Now, here's a woman, a--a colored lady, me a white man. And here she comes walking up here tonight. I never seen this woman in my life. I suppose we're strangers to one another, are we, lady? You--you know me? This woman says that four years ago she come to the Philadelphian Church, and was just a little bitty thing like that, eat up with cancer, and I prayed for her, and look at her now. Isn't that a wonderful testimony? God bless her.
But now, how probably in four years I probably prayed for many, many hundreds of thousands of people since then. And you just coming on the platform, and especially if the anointing will come tonight, and will strike me... Tomorrow you know the only way I will know what I said to you? When them recorders right there, see them going, see here? When them recorders they play it back to me, and I see what I said. See? But to know you, or know what you're here for, I know not, do I? Don't know it, no, don't know a thing about it.

L-70 And then there's a--a colored woman and a white man. One time that happened at the--as Jesus was going down to Jericho. And He had need to go by Samaria. Now, I wonder why? I believe the Father sent Him up there, don't you? 'Cause His... The footsteps of a righteous man is ordained of God, and ordered of God.
Now, Jesus goes up there, so He sends all His disciples away. And a Samaritan woman... And there was a great segregation in them days just like there is today between the different races. But Jesus told her right quick there's no difference; we're all one. The country you was raised in, where your native home come from, down in the south, in Africa, it's got hot down there and turns the skin dark. And I come from up in the Anglo-Saxon country where it's cold and we were bleached out, and... But we're all... We can give one another a blood transfusion. We're the same. God made of all nations, one blood. That's right.

L-71 And it just happens to be that tonight the same picture reverses and comes again, isn't that right? Here's a wo... And so Jesus said to that woman when she come out... She was a woman of ill fame; we're to believe. And Jesus said to her, not knowing her, never seen her in His life. He said, "Bring Me a drink."
"Why," she said, "it's not customary for Jews to ask Samaritans such. We don't have any dealings." See the racial, segregation?
And Jesus said, "But if you know Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink. And I'd bring you water, give you water you don't come here to drink."
The conversation went on for a while. Did you ever stop to think what Jesus was carrying that conversation for? Did the audience ever think of that? Minister, did you ever think why He talked to her? Now, here's my own belief. I think He was contacting her spirit. See? 'Cause I know it works the same way here. See? Contacting her spirit...
And as soon as He got her contact, He found where her trouble was, and He told her what her trouble was (Is that right?), what her trouble was. And He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any."
He said, "That's right. You've got five, and the one you have now is not your husband."
And what did she say? She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are (a what?) prophet." She said, "Now, we know (we Samaritans), we know that when the Messiah cometh, He will do these things. He will tell us these things. But Who are You?"
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you." And she dropped her water pot and run into the city.
