<TITLE>18. Par 66-70</TITLE>L-66 That fellow that time they hired to come up and hypnotize me, setting out in the line like that. They had them in these army camps to hypnotize these soldiers and make them bark like dogs, and act, you know, how they would do, just under hypnotism. And this fellow come up, and the devil sent him around, was going to hypnotize me at the platform. You remember when it happened in Montreal. And when he did that, I felt that evil spirit, and turned around. I said, "Why has the devil put that in your heart?" He looked at me real funny and ducked his head down. I said, "You try to hypnotize a servant of the Lord?" He thought it was a telepathy. And I said, "Because you've done this, God will judge you for that. See you unto it." And they packed him out of there paralyzed and he's paralyzed yet today.

L-67 We're not pray--playing church now, you remember. Remember the days when someone tried to go out and tried to cast out an evil spirit in the days of Paul? You know what happened to him? An epileptic and it come upon them? Certainly.
So now, you remember, you in the prayer line, it... I'm not taking discernment in the prayer line. I'm just going to pray for you. All week long, discernment's been through the meeting here with people who just gathered in. But tonight, it's just praying, unless the Lord would stop me to say something to somebody.

L-68 But now how many's in the building tonight has never seen one of our services before, let's see your hand. It's a good thing everybody don't come to the Angelus Temple the same night. They'd be piled across in the park. Just almost a new crowd every night.
That you might know, Jesus Christ did not claim to be a Healer. He said, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me." But He could... He knowed the people; He told them who they was, what their names was. How many of you newcomers believe that? Told Philip--or Nathanael, where Philip found him under a tree praying, told him what he was, told Peter what his name was. And by this, they believed He was the Messiah. That was the sign of the Messiah.
And when He went over to the Samaritans. See, He never went to the Gentiles, nor He did not commission His disciples to do so. He said, "Don't go to the way of the Gentiles; go rather to the lost sheep of Israel." But the Samaritans was looking for the coming of the Messiah. How many knows that to be true, say "Amen." Well, then if they was looking, He had to make Himself known.

L-69 He passed by the way of Samaria, He found a woman, and she was living in adultery. And He said to her, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I have no husband."
Said, "That's right. You got five, and the one you're living with is not your husband."
She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Now, listen to that woman's voice. "We know..." She said, "I perceive that You are a prophet. But we know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us all these things."
Now, how many knows that's the Scripture, Saint John 4, say "Amen." That was the sign of the Messiah. She couldn't understand Who He was. She said He must be a prophet.

L-70 But how many knows that the Messiah was to be the God-prophet, say, "Amen." Certainly. If you ever read the Bible, Moses said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet liken unto me. It'll come to pass that whosoever will not hear..."
That's the reason they was looking for it. That's the reason the real Jew believed Him when He done the sign of the prophet. The unbelieving Jew, the, oh, the classical type, they said, "This man's a fortuneteller, a Beelzebub." And anybody knows that fortunetelling is of the devil. That's right. It's a perverted spirit. And said, "He's a Beelzebub."
And Jesus said that would be blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. To speak one word against the Holy Ghost would be blasphemy, would never be forgiven in this world or the world to come.
