<TITLE>18. Par 60-63</TITLE>L-60 But what takes place in the meeting's a amateur thing here. The great visions take place out of the meetings. You're doing this with you're own faith; you're using God's gift here now. But when God uses His own gift, it's a lot different. The woman touched Him, and He felt virtue go from Him, but He... God gave His Son a vision, send Him away, 'cause Jesus said, "I don't do nothing till the Father shows Me first," is that right? Saint John 5:19. Everything He did, the Father showed Him by vision what to do. Except the people that touched Him, like that, then He... Their--their faith pulled it. Or the Pharisee's who criticized Him, He could perceive their thoughts.
That wonderful One friends, is here tonight. How many's ever seen the picture of it, raise your hands? It's right here in the building; they got it. Gene, have you all got those pictures? Do you bring them up here at the platform to show them? Oh, they never brought them up. Wished I had one here, but I haven't now; however, they're back there. That same Angel is not five feet from where I'm standing at right now. And if I never see you again till the day of judgment, find out whether that's true or not when we answer that day. Don't pay no attention to the messenger; listen to the message.

L-61 All right, which is the lady? This here? You? Come just a little closer; that's all. I suppose we're strangers to each other, lady. I do not know you, never seen you in my life. That's right, would you just raise up your hand so the people can see?
Now, here's a picture of Saint John 4. Now, everyone be real reverent. Whether He will or not, I don't know. If He does, I've read it to you from the Book. How many was here last night, raise your hand? Oh, the whole audience here. How He told just went word by word what He done, what He seen; I'm going to review that again.
Here's a man and a woman just like Saint John 4, when a man and a women met for their first time in life. Perhaps the woman was a lot younger than Jesus was, as it is here again tonight. A man and a woman meets.

L-62 Now, in Saint John 4 Jesus was setting at a well, something like this here. And a woman come out to get water; He said, "Bring Me a drink."
She said, "It's not customary for you Jews to ask Samaritans such."
He said, "But, if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." How many know that story? What was Jesus doing? Contacting her spirit. And when He found what her spirit, what was her trouble, then he told her what her trouble was. And then He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I have no husband."
Said, "You've had five, and the one you're living with now is not your husband."
What did she say? She said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet. We know when the Messiah cometh, He will do these things, but Who are You?"
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you."
Now, that was the sign of the Messiah, is that right? And she run into the city, and wa--watch what she told her people: "Come see a Man Who told me the things I've done, isn't this the very Messiah?"

L-63 When He did that to a Jew, what did that Jew say? "Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You're the King of Israel." But the big starchy church stood around and said, "That man's a fortuneteller, the devil." They're in hell tonight. Nathanael's name's immortal; he is immortal with it; so is the woman at the well.
Now, if Jesus remains the same yesterday, today, and forever; I don't know the woman, don't know her nationality, don't know nothing about her, but He can tell me. And if He can tell me what's wrong with the woman, or something another like He did the woman at the well, let her be the judge. Now, if I said, "Lady, you're sick. Going to lay my hands on you. Hallelujah, you're going to get well." She could believe that; that'd be all right; that'd be all right.
