<TITLE>06. Par 51-64</TITLE>L-51 Now, where's Billy Paul, is he in this building? Has he left? Or, somebody ought to come here to pick up these prayer cards. See? Come, Brother...?... The woman has the prayer card in her hand. You just give it to him. See? Be real reverent now.
Now, this lady here, as far as I know, is a total stranger to me. And here's a perfect setting of the Scripture: two people and two different nationalities.
Jesus come to a well one time, in St. John 4, and met a woman of Samaria. And He talked to her a little while, until He found out what her trouble was. And He told her her trouble. And when He did, she recognized it to be the Messiah. How many knows that? Remember their conversation? He said, "Woman, bring Me a drink." What was He doing? Contacting her spirit.
And she said, "The well's deep, and You have nothing to draw with. It's not customary for You to, a Jew, to ask Samaritans such."
He said, "But if you knowed Who you was talking to, you'd ask Me for water."

L-56 And so the conversation went on till He found out what her trouble was. How many knows what her trouble was? She was living in adultery. So 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 living with now is not your husband."
Now, listen what she said. She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a Prophet. We know when the Messiah cometh He'll tell us these things. The Messiah, the sign of the Messiah, He'll do this when He comes; 'cause He was the God-Prophet, the Prophet Moses spoke of." Said, "We know Messiah will do this when He comes, but Who are You?"
He said, "I am He that speaks to you."
And she run into the city and told the men, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?"

L-60 Now, here stands an Ethiopian woman to an Anglo-Saxon man, first time in life meeting: what we call, colored woman, white man. When that question was raised there in the--in segregation before Jesus. He let them know real quick; there's no difference in people's colors. We all come from one tree: Adam and Eve. Exactly. The countries we lived in, it changed our color; had nothing to do with it. God died for all creatures: the white man, the black man, the yellow man, the brown man, the red man, and all. They're all creatures of God.

L-61 But the lady stands here for something. Maybe she's a believer, maybe she isn't. Maybe she's a sinner. She might be a saint. She may be sick; she may not. She may want--financial trouble. She may be standing for somebody else. I don't know. I've never seen her, and I have no more idea what she's here for than nothing. And the lady knows that. Is that right, lady? If that's right, raise up your hand so the people can see. Just raise up your hand so the people... Just raise up your hand. This is our first meeting. Now, if the Lord Jesus will...

L-62 If she's sick, I couldn't heal her, no more than I could heal you. But if--if Jesus is here, He couldn't heal her, because He's already done it when He died at Calvary. But He can do something to prove that He's still the same Jesus, and she'd believe it, she'd be healed. And the same time she'd be healed, you'd be healed too, if you'd believe it. Is that right? Now, may the Lord grant it; I'm waiting for the anointing of the Holy Spirit, of course.
And now, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I take every spirit in here under my control, for the glory of God.

L-64 Now, lady, I just want you to look at me just a moment. I want you to believe with all your heart. And I have no more idea what you're here for, who you are, than nothing. But God knows all about you. But if God will tell me what you're here for, then you'll believe that Jesus Christ, God's Son, is here to do and act the way He did when He was here on earth? Will the audience believe with one accord?
