<TITLE>17. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 Now, but if Christ is here, then let Christ speak. I don't know the woman; God knows. I don't know the woman. I don't know nothing about her. But if I've told the truth, then Jesus Christ has to stand by His Word, because It is the Truth. Does that make it right? All of us believe that. All right.
Now, here's where the showdown comes, is the Scripture right, or is it wrong? Now, here's where it is, not in some dark rooms; it isn't out yonder where the devil works; it's right here before the house of God, right here before the anointed saints and the children of God, the purchase of His Blood.

L-62 Here we stand, both of us, before God, before this holy platform, this Bible, the Holy Spirit present. Now, what's going to happen? I'm a man just like you are. Now, it has to take Divine, has to take Spirit or it won't work. But I know that He's here. He made the promise; He can't go back on the promise.
Now, Lord, from henceforth, I pray that You will manifest Yourself that people might see that You're the Son of God. And this is permitted by You to fulfill the Word to we Gentiles. The Jews saw it in their day; the Samaritans saw it in their days, but the Gentiles didn't see it because it was hid from them. And You said they'd have their day. Now, it's the Gentile's age, and You're showing them. If You revealed Yourself as Messiah to the Jews by telling Peter who he was, telling Nathanael where he was, and You revealed Yourself to the Samaritans by telling the woman that the trouble she had, then You cannot pass the Gentiles with just joining church. They have to receive the supernatural, because You're the same yesterday, today, and forever, and You make Yourself known the same. Grant, Lord, it'll be so to fulfill Thy Word. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I ask it.
And Father, I pray that You'll protect the people, 'cause we realize that if evil spirits be upon these sick people, they'll go to critics or whatmore. So I pray that You'll protect and give mercy to all of us. We ask in Christ's Name. Amen.

L-63 I just want you just to answer. First, I just want to talk to you like our Lord talked to the woman at the well.
Now, you say, "Why you doing that, Brother Branham?" Catch her spirit just like He did, said, "Bring Me a drink."
She come brought a drink--was going to bring a drink, but she said, "It's not customary for you Jews to ask Samaritans such."
He begin to talk to her. "But if you knew Who you were talking to..."
Now, upon this, we're strangers, meeting our first time. Then you're here for some purpose. I don't know what it is. But if the Lord God will reveal to me what you're here for, or something that you have done, something that you are looking to be done. And if He could tell you what you have been, surely He'd know what you will be. For you'll know whether that's the truth or not. You know whether that's true, 'cause you're the one that lived that part of life. But if He can tell you what you have been, then can tell you what you will be, you certainly feel good about doing it, wouldn't you? Sure would. So that's the secret of it. See? That's the power of it. That's the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself as He comes.

L-64 Now, you're a--you're a woman, me a man; we're standing here, you are--got a spirit or you wouldn't be standing there. I have spirit; I wouldn't be standing here. I perceive that you are a Christian, because just as quick as your spirit catches here, it's welcome. The Holy Spirit, which is above us, recognizes you as His child.
Now, I had no idea whether the woman was Christian, or a sinner, or a blasphemer, or what, but that Spirit... And now, if the congregation... How many ever seen the picture of that Angel of the Lord, that they got in Washington, DC and everywhere? See? Here it is, right here between me and the woman.
