<TITLE>18. Par 66-69</TITLE>L-66 Then when He went down to the Samaritans, He had need to go by. The disciples went in to buy some food; He set at the--on the little banister around the well, the public well there. A woman (a harlot, we know her to be) come out. She started to draw water, and Jesus looked at her and said, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
She said, "It's not customary; we got segregation. You Jews and us have no dealings with one another. It's not right for You, being a Jewish man, to ask me, a Samaritan woman, such."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." And the conversation went on till Jesus found where her trouble was. Anybody know what her trouble was? She was living in adultery. And Jesus told her, said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I have no husband."
Said, "That's right. You've lived with five, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. You've said right."
What did she say? She said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet. (Now, listen; that's not all.) We know that when the Messiah cometh, that'll be His sign. (How many knows the Scripture says that?) We know when Messiah cometh, He will show us all things. But Who are You?"
He said, "I am He, that speaks to you."
What was her message now? Run into the city, and said, "Come, see a Man that told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah."

L-67 Now, God is infinite, do you believe that? He cannot change; He didn't let neither of those people, tribes of people, cease their generation without seeing that sign. He prophesied that the Gentiles would see--receive it as it was in the days of Sodom, before the burning of Sodom. Now, if He gave that sign to them and just let us get on--in on intellectual, He cheated us out of something. He won't do it; He's the same. If that was His idea, if that was His...
When God's ever called on the scene, in the way God acts the first time, He has to act forever that way. If it didn't, He acted wrong at the first place. He done something wrong. But you notice, when God acts, He acts every time the same. If a sinner called, and He saved that sinner, the next sinner calls, He's got to save, the next sinner, the next sinner, the next sinner, the next sinner, and all that call. If a man calls for healing of his body and God heals him, then the next one, the next one, the next one, the next one that calls got to be healed on the basis of faith for either one.

L-68 He showed the Jews the sign of the Messiah before their dispensation ended. He showed the Samaritans the sign of the Messiah before their dispensation ended, but not one time did He show that to the Gentiles. They wasn't looking for no Messiah; now they are. Here's that same Messiah that prophesied that He would do it, coming right back among the people; not me, us, the Church, world over, coming back, showing the very same things that He did right there. We must believe it. Now, you that want to see something that's real, something that's genuine, may the Holy Spirit be able to give it to you tonight.
How many did you say was here didn't have prayer cards? Raise up your hand. 'Course you don't. I mean sick, the prayer cards in the line. Now, pray just a minute while they're finishing up that line.

L-69 What say? [Someone speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] All right, all right... It's--it's okay. Just a minute. I'm trying to deal with the people out there now without the cards.
I keep thinking of that watch, but I don't know when we'll ever meet again. Let's set quiet just a minute, get quiet. You get to pressing, then the devil gets to working on that (See?), trying to make it something that it isn't.
Now, let's have faith and believe. Let's just believe with all of our hearts that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is here, ready to give us what we desire. (Paul, all ready?) I want all around the building, everywhere you are, I want you to pray.
