<TITLE>12. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48 Look at this. I want to ask you all a question, and before God Almighty, I want you to answer the truth. Am I a stranger to you people in the prayer line? If I am, raise your hand, every one of you, that I'm a stranger to. There's no way in the world for me... I've never seen you or talked to you or anything, is that right, if we're strangers. Is that right? I know nothing of you.
How many out there is strangers to me, raise your hand, know that I don't know nothing about you? All right, there's your hands to God and here's mine too. I know nothing about you. Almighty God knows that. Now, the only way that that could be done, the only thing, and the only possible way that it could be done... With our hands, as Christians, in the air, we've never met before, no way I've never talked with you or nothing else... I know nothing about you. You're just a person that come here and given a prayer card and you're here. And you all don't even have a prayer card.

L-49 Why, this don't--this is a minor thing. Ask the people who's my associates. I am forty-eight years old. That gift has been working since I was borned. Gifts are not just given to you. "Gifts and callings are without repentance." It's the foreknowledge of God. God has placed in the church.
Moses couldn't help to be Moses. He was born Moses. Jesus was born the Son of God. John the Baptist, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born, Isaiah the prophet saw him and said, "He's the voice of one crying in the wilderness." Oh, the omnipotence of God.
Jeremiah, God said to Jeremiah, "Before you was even conceived in your mother's womb, I knew you, and sanctified you, and ordained you a prophet to the nations." Then who are we? You're nothing. Neither am I. But it's the grace of God. And why can't we believe it?

L-50 Here's a woman standing here, a middle-aged woman, hair gray. I've never seen the woman in my life, and God knows that. She's here for something. I don't know. I can't tell you. She might be a critic. If she is, watch what happens. Watch what takes place. How many's been in the meetings and seen critics come to the platform? They're laying in the insane institution paralyzed and everything else. We're not playing church. It's church. Them days of that old cut and dried theologies and so forth is passed away. Christ is here giving His last message to the Gentiles as He promised. And it's going by the heads of the people, and they do not recognize it. That's the sad part.

L-51 If this woman and I, under the oath of God, that we've never met in our life, and the Holy Spirit will reveal to that woman what she's standing there for, what ought that to prove? That Jesus Christ Who did the same thing to witness Hisself and make Hisself known to both Gentile--both Samaritan and also to the Jew... And when He did it before the Jew, the real Jew recognized it to be the sign of the Messiah. How many knows that? Saint John 1.
And when He done it to the Samaritan, what did the woman say? She's... When He told her, her--what was wrong with her, she said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet. We know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things.
He said, "I am He that speaks."
She run into the city, and listen at her message, "Come, see a Man, that told me the things that I've done: isn't this the Messiah?"
