<TITLE>12. Par 39-40</TITLE>L-39 I don't care, you could have been a drunkard; you could have been a prostitute; you could have been anything that you wanted to be; but when you meet Christ, from there on it's different. God's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham.
From that time on, she had a message that she had met the Messiah, because she seen the sign of the Messiah. She knowed that that was He, for she said herself, "We know when Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things. But Who are You?"
Jesus said, "I am He."
And she dropped the water pot and away she went. If she could stand on the platform, tonight, she'd say, "I was vile, and immoral, but I had read in the Bible where He's to be a God Prophet. When this Man told me... He looked like a--just a man. But when He told me of my life, I knew that that was the sign of the Messiah, so a Prophet has a portion of the Messiah's Spirit, so I said, 'Sir, You must be a prophet. We know when Messiah cometh, He will tell us all things.'"
Jesus said, "I'm He that speaks to You."
She knowed if a Man Who could do that, would say what He was, it was right, because God was backing it up. Glory. Oh, can you get it? Do you know what I'm speaking of? When God promised to send the Holy Spirit in the last days, then He's done it. We know it. He backs up His Word. This what we have, tonight, of the blessing of the Holy Spirit, proves that a man's life, if he's not impersonating something, if he's not trying to act like something, trying to act like something that he isn't, if he really is, God backs up His Word with the person.

L-40 To the woman that was once ill-famed, smoke cigarettes, drank, prostitute, if that woman claims that she met God, and still in the same things, I doubt her word. If a man tells me that he met God, and, "I don't believe there's such a thing as Divine healing." I doubt his experience, 'cause God can't lie about His own Word. If the Holy Spirit wrote the Word, when He comes in, it'll say, "Amen," to every Word God wrote. If man says he don't believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, I doubt him ever meeting God. He might be called; he might be intellectual; he might be a great man; he might be an orator, an intellectual, or--or an orator of some sort; but he's never met God. The Holy Spirit of God in a man will speak, "Amen," to every Word God says. He can say, "I once did not believe in Divine healing, but one day, I met God, and from then, from that time, it changed me. There's something come into me that transformed me and give an experience. I've never been able to forget it."
Nothing can meet God without being changed some way.
