<TITLE>12. Par 41-44</TITLE>L-41 And He looked around till He found the woman. Then He revealed it to her. She could not be hid. And she come and fell down. He said, "Daughter, thy faith..." No vision of His. She'd touched it. That was her vision. That was her faith. "Daughter, thy faith has saved thee."
Notice, there was something about Him that knowed she was healed. He pronounced her healed. "Thy faith has saved thee." Now, that woman could've died a year later with the same disease, but she was healed then.
The doctor could come and give you... You can be--have pneumonia and out in a hospital. He could come put you in a oxygen tent and give you penicillin, and you can be perfectly well. Pronounce you well, go on home next week and work for a month, and the next month die with pneumonia again. But you were healed the first place. That's right. See, see?

L-42 Now, I want to ask you something. That was Jesus yesterday. If He is the same today, He does the same thing. He's the same High Priest. "I'll never leave thee nor forsake thee. I'll be with you till the end of the world."
Now, watch Him. In He--in Saint John 4, we take now. In Saint John 4 He went up to Bethesda. No, I beg your pardon, He was went up to Samaria. He was on His road down to Jericho, which is just below Jerusalem.
But He went up over the mountain to--to Samaria. And when He went to the Samaritans, the Samarian rather, He sent His disciples into the city to buy some vittles. And while He was gone, a woman came out, a woman of ill fame. She had five husbands.
Now, the Eastern view said she--she was of ill fame, but our Bible said she had five husbands, and the one she was living with then, she was living with a man not married to him, well then, it was ill fame to me.

L-43 Now, she came out to get some water, and as she let down the windle into the place to get the water, she brought it up, and many of you in the orients you know they pack it on their head and on their hip. And as she brought the water up, perhaps a beautiful woman, set it on--started to set it on her head, and she looked over there in the corner of the little panoramic, and there set a middle-aged Jew.
Now, the Bible said... 'Course we know He's only thirty-something years old, but He looked to be fifty. They said in Saint John the 6th chapter, "Thou art a man not yet fifty (See, His work had drug Him down so, physically speaking.)--not yet fifty, and say you've seen Abraham."
He said, "Before Abraham was I AM." See?

L-44 Now, He looked--might've looked fifty. But He was setting back in this place, and when He said to her, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
And she said, "Why, You're a Jew." There was a law of segregation. Said, "You have no--no, we have no dealings with each other."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you would ask Me for a drink." What was He doing? Contacting her spirit. Here's the Gospel coming to Samaria.
Now, notice, He never done any miracles there. He left that for Philip, when Philip went down. He knowed there'd be a revival, but He talked to them; He laid the Word down.
But notice, He, when He did this the woman said, "Why, we worship in this mountain, and You say in Jerusalem."
And the conversation went on until He found exactly what that woman's trouble was. And when He found her trouble, He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I have none."
Said, "That's right. You've got five, and the one you have now is not your husband. And thou saidst well."
