<TITLE>14. Par 87-98</TITLE>L-87 And that's the reason I believe that the Church of the living God is going to see a greater thing than this. It's fixing to step right into it now, shortly (See?), because they have believed it. Those who have rejected it because of denominational barriers, I doubt whether they'll ever believe anything. See? Things... You'll either walk in Light or be blind. Light blinds, or either shows the path.

L-88 Little birds, I found, it was at the Statue of Liberty (be sure to see that, Brother Thoms, when you go up. See?), they'd beat their brains out against there. And I said, "What was the matter?"
Said, "Instead of following the light in the storm to safety, they tried to beat the light out, and killed themselves."
That's the only thing that happens when you beat against Light, you kill yourself, spiritually. Just walk in the Light as He is in the Light, then we'll have fellowship one with another, all churches will believe and go on and enjoy the blessings of God. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

L-91 Look at the Samaritan woman when she come. She was a Samaritan now, not a Jew, a Samaritan. And He said, "Bring Me a drink." And the conversation went on. This is for the newcomers now. And conversation went on.
Now, she didn't know Him being no Messiah. He was just a--a Man, a Jew. See how she said first; she said, "Why, it's not customary for you Jews to talk to a Samaritan woman like this." She said, "We have no dealings with one another."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink; and I'd bring you--give you water you don't come here to draw."
Why, she said, "Now just a minute." She said, "We worship in this mountain, and--and you Jews worship at Jerusalem."
Jesus said, "But the hour is coming when the--when you'll neither worship at Jerusalem or this mountain, but in the Spirit; for God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth." See?

L-96 Well, He went on, carried the conversation till He found out where her trouble was. What... You know where her trouble was? Anybody know what was the matter with the woman at the well? She had too many husbands, didn't she? So He said to her, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
Said, "That's right. You've got five, and the one you're now living with is not yours."
She said, "Sir..." Now, watch her. "Sir, I perceive that You are a Prophet." If you run that marginal reading back, you'll find out, "Sir," in the original, "Thou art... I perceive that Thou art that Prophet." You remember in the Bible it keeps saying, "that Prophet"? "Are You that Prophet?" What Prophet was it? The One that Moses said would raise up. "I perceive that You are the Prophet. Now, we're taught, and we know when the Messiah cometh He'll do these things." That was the sign of the Messiah, is that right, to know what her trouble was? Said, "We know when Messiah cometh He'll tell us these things. But Who are You?"
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you."

L-98 She left her water-pot. She run into the city, I imagine, just holding her heart, and saying--holding her hands on her bosom just jumping, saying, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things that I did. Isn't this the very Messiah? Isn't that the very One that the Bible said that would come? It's a Jew setting out there, just an ordinary Man, looked like a carpenter. But He told me that I had five husbands, and you all know that's the truth. This... He's got to be the Messiah." Is that right?
