<TITLE>18. Par 55-57</TITLE>L-55 As the woman at the well, He talked to her. She was a Samaritan. He knowed where a fish was, has a coin in it's mouth. He perceived the thoughts of the people.
A woman come in the crowd one time, and touched His garment, and run off and set down, or stood up, or wherever she was. She said, "If I can only touch that holy Man, I'll get healed. She had a blood issue for many years. Doctors could do her no good. And her faith was that she could touch the Man. And she touched His garment; He couldn't feel it. Now, you couldn't feel it, if it was on my coat or yours. That Palestinian garment and heavy as they was, and underneath garment besides... So she went out, and she was satisfied that she had touched Him.
Now look, He stopped. He turned around, said, "Who touched Me?" Now, He didn't know, or He wouldn't have asked the question. Said, "Who touched Me?"
Why, everybody denied it. She denied it. He said, "Yes, but..."
Peter said, "Well, Lord, the whole bunch is touching You. Everybody's touching You." That's what's the matter with the church today: You're touching with the wrong touch.
Said, "Everybody's touching You. And why sayest Thou, 'Who touched Me.'"
He said, "But I perceive that I've gotten weak." Virtue's gone from Him. And He kept looking around until He found the little woman. And He looked right at her, and said, "Thy faith has saved thee." Her blood issue stopped. Then her faith touched Him, and she was healed.

L-56 He knew the thoughts, and where Philip had been, and Nathanael, the fish that had the coin in his mouth, but He didn't know all things. Just as the Father would show Him, as a prophet.
Now, can you touch Him tonight? If He's alive tonight, why can't you touch Him? The Bible said you can. The Bible said, "He's the high priest that could be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." He has His representatives here on earth.
Now, He isn't here, but He is the Vine. We are the branches. The vine don't bear fruit, the branches bears fruit. And He purges the vine to make it bear fruit. Well, we yield ourself to the Holy Spirit. You yield to Him for your sickness. I'll yield to Him for His Spirit, and watch if He don't do the same thing. He's alive, He's not dead, not some historical God, He's a living God.

L-57 Now look, the woman come out, set down on the well. She was a bad woman, prostitute. Jesus said, "Bring Me a drink."
"Why," she said, "it's not customary for you Jews to ask we Samaritans such. We have no dealings." Like a white man and a colored woman... Said, "We have no dealings."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." Now, what was He doing? Contacting her spirit. Now, this is Jesus when He was here on earth in a corporal body, promising to do the same things through His spiritual body. He said, "If you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink. And I'd bring you water--or give you water you don't come here to draw."
She said, "The well's deep; You have nothing to draw with."
He said, "The water that I give is a well of water, springing up."
She said, "Well, we worship in this mountain. You stay at Jerusalem."
And Jesus... The conversation went on till Jesus caught her spirit. The Father sent Him up there, because He was on His road to Jericho. Jerusalem's here; Jericho's here, and He went way up here to Samaria. The Bible said, "He had need." Why? The Father told Him to go up there. He set down.
That's why I'm here tonight. Father told me to come here to Indianapolis. That's all I know. I don't know you, or know your needs. But He does.
