<TITLE>10. Par 33-37</TITLE>L-33 Like the Jews today, Lewis Pethrus sent over a million Bibles to those Jews, New Testaments, that come from down in the other parts of the world and never heard of Jesus. Been down there for twenty-five hundred years. They begin to read that New Testament, and they said, "If this be the Messiah, we know that Messiah will be a God prophet. If this is the Messiah, and He's not dead, but He's alive again, let us see Him do the sign of the prophet; we'll believe Him, for our Me--our Messiah is a God prophet."

L-34 Jesus said when He met Peter, He said, "Your name is Simon, and your father's name is Jonas." And Peter fell at His feet. He knew that that was Who was spoke of. Strictly away he went... They'd went after... Philip went for Nathanael and told him what he'd found. And when Nathanael come up before Him, He said, "There's a Israelite in whom there's no guile."
Said, "Rabbi, when did You ever know me?"
He said, "Before Philip called you when you were under the tree, I saw you."
He said, "You are the Son of God; You're the King of Israel." They knew Who that was.

L-35 That Samaritan one, she said, when He said, "Bring Me a drink."
That woman, the nation of Samaria, said, "Oh, that..."
Said, "Bring Me a drink."
Said, "It's not customary for you Sam--you Jews to ask Samaritans such things as that. I'm a woman of Samaria."
He said, "But if you knew Who You were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink. I'd give you waters you don't come here to draw."
The conversation went on for a while till He saw where her troubles was. He said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "I have no husband."
Said, "That's right. You've had five, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. You said it well."
She said, "Sir..." Oh, brother. Quickly the Spirit of God on that woman... "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. We know that the Messiah is coming, and when He does, He'll tell us these things, but Who are You?"
He said, "I'm He."
She dropped that water pot and away she went. She got a drink out of a well that was bubbling up in her soul. She run into the city and said, "Come, see a Man Who's told me the things that I've done. Isn't that the very Messiah?"

L-36 That was Him yesterday. That's Him today. That's forever the same, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. Why do we linger? Why do we wonder? Do we wonder whether God will heal or not? We have seen Him heal the thousands, blind, sick, lame, halt, those that are dead and pronounced dead, raised up again under the power of the prayer of faith. The Holy Spirit reveals and hundreds are healed: blinded eyes, deaf ears. The world try to ignore it; they try to shake it off; but they can't; it comes right back again. It's before them. You can't shake Him off your hands.

L-37 When Pentecost first sprung up forty years ago, they said, "It won't last; it's a bunch of holy-rollers," laughed. It's the fastest growing church in the world. Last year it produced a million five-hundred thousand converts, which is beyond all the rest of the churches put together: one million five-hundred thousand last year. There you are.
It's not a burning up; it's... It's not burning down; it's burning up. Yes, they say, "They're crazy." They try to shake the people away from them. They try to take the people, "Get away from that group. Don't you fool with them. There's nothing to it; get away from it."
Just the same, "If I'll be lifted up, I'll draw all men to Me."
