<TITLE>12. Par 42-45</TITLE>L-42 Well, this woman, come out to get her a bucket of water. And as she put the little hooks around the--the jar--handles, and she started to let windle down, a voice spoke and said, "Woman, bring Me a drink." And she looked. And she saw a Jew setting over there, a middle aged Jew. He was only thirty-three, but the Bible said He looked fifty.
"Are you older than Abraham, when you're a man not over fifty years old (Saint John 6) and say that You've seen Abraham?" See?
Now, He said... There set there a middle aged Jew. And this woman, being a Samaritan, well taught, she believed in God also, she said, "It's not customary. We have a segregation, that we Samaritans and Jews have no fellowship with each other. We have no--no dealings together."
He said, "Woman, if you knew Who were talking to you, you'd ask me for a drink. I'd give you water you don't come here to draw."
She said, "Do you mean to say that You're greater than our Father (See?) Jacob? (She was an Israelite-believer.) Do you mean to say that You're greater than our Father Jacob, who dug the well, drank from it, himself, and his cattle and children drank from it?" And the conversation went on. What was Jesus doing? Contacting her spirit. See? Watch Him.

L-43 Finally, got to asking about worship at Jerusalem and in this mountain. He said, "This time's coming when God will--was seeking those who neither worship in this mountain or at Jerusalem, but in Spirit and truth." When He found where her trouble was... How many knows what her trouble was before I say it? She was living in adultery. He found her trouble. And listen to Him. He said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "Sir, I don't have any husband."
He said, "You said well, for you've had five, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. Therefore you said well."
Now, what did she say? "Say, You're Beelzebub, You're a fortuneteller. You have mental telepathy." No, sir. She knowed better. She knowed more about God than half the preachers in the United States does, her being a prostitute.
Listen what she said. She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Now, if you'll run that word back, you'll find out it's "the prophet" that Moses said, "the Lord Your God shall rise up like unto Me." They were looking for that sign.

L-44 So was Nathanael. So were every true Jew watching for it. But the--all the big organizations and things, they had their popularity and their big places and they wasn't looking for such. It wasn't spiritual. It's always the spiritual people who sees God. It's always the spiritual people who sees the spiritual things.
A guy said not long ago, "I don't believe in Divine healing. I don't care what you say."
I said, "Sure not. It wasn't sent to unbelievers. It was only to those who believe." Certainly. It's just for the believer. "Certainly you can't see it."

L-45 And she said, "I perceive that You are a prophet. We Samaritans, we know; we're taught; we believe; it's been revealed to us; we know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things, but Who are You?"
He said, "I am He that speaks to you."
She dropped her water pot. Into the city she went and said, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?"
She knowed more about God than, I say again, the preachers know. She knew that was the sign of the Messiah. The educated scholarly people of that day said, "He's Beelzebub." Today, they say it's fortunetelling or demon possession, not knowing that they're sealing their eternal destination.
"We know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things, but Who are You?"
He said, "I am He."
And she said, "Isn't this the very Messiah, the Man that told me the things that I've done?"
