<TITLE>15. Par 61-65</TITLE>L-61 Now, last night we called a prayer line. We give out... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Holy Spirit of God in Him. He said, "I forgive you," because He hadn't died, yet to make a way. But now, He said if you speak a word against the Holy Ghost...
Now remember, He declared that sign to the Jews. The true Jew believed that it was the Messiah. We went through that last evening.
And He went to the well one time to get a drink to another race of people, which was Samaritans. Now remember, He did not go to any Gentiles. How many know that? No Gentiles, and forbid His disciples to go to a Gentile. We've had two thousand years for that. This is the day of the Gentile, closing now.
Now, but He went by the well of Samaria and... Now, watch what Jesus was yesterday. And there was a young woman come out. Let's think she was beautiful. She was a prostitute, woman of ill fame. And she come out to get her water, round about noontime. And she had the water pot, and she didn't know there was anyone around. It was a little panoramic something like this. And there was a Man setting over there. I've been to the well, like that, and there--just outside the city.

L-62 And this Jew, He was only thirty something years old. But the Bible said he looked fifty. His work did it, said, "You a man not yet fifty years old and say you seen Abraham. Now, we know you got a devil."
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." And that was the--that was the Pillar of Fire that was in the burning bush on the picture that you see tonight, the same yesterday, today, and forever. If that Pillar of Fire is truly the same Pillar of Fire, It'll bear the same record that it did in Jesus Christ when It's here in His church. That's right.

L-63 Jesus never did commission us to build a church. Neither did He commissioned us to have a school of theology. Neither did He ever commission us to do any of those things. He said, "Preach the Gospel." And what is the Gospel? The power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. Now, if that isn't right then I don't know the Scripture. That's what It says.
Oh, how we intellectual Americans set so starchy and stiff. Them poor heathens yonder, just rage and cry by the thousands. They swarm to it.
Now, notice that Light will have to bear record of what It is.

L-64 One day when this woman was setting there or come there, Jesus said to her, "Bring Me a drink and come here, woman."
She turned around, and she seen that Jew. See, there's segregation between Jew and Gentile--Jew and Samaritan, 'cause they were half Jew and Gentile. And so she said, "I'm a woman of Samaria. It's not customary for you Jews to ask me such question as that." Now, that's St. John 4 if you want to read it.
He said, "But if you know Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink."
"Why," she said, "the well's deep, and You have nothing to draw with."

L-65 And the conversation went, on till He contacted her spirit. He said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
Said, "That's right. You've had five, and the one you're now living with is not yours."
Now, what, did she say He was a fortune-teller? She said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a Prophet. Now, we know when the Messiah cometh, which is the Christ, He will do these things." Is that right? Well, if that was the Messiah yesterday, His sign, it'll be the Messiah today, if He is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
Said, "When Messiah cometh, He will tell us this."
He said, "I am He that talks to you."
And she ran into the city and said, "Come, see a Man Who told me what I was. Isn't this the Messiah?" How many know that Scripture? St. John 4.
