<TITLE>21. Par 79-81</TITLE>L-79 Now, I want the infidel to tell me one time that Jesus said... Many infidels say, "Jesus never did claim to be the Son of God." He did there. He said, "I am He that speaks with you."
And quickly she left that bucket, and from that time... From that time, she knowed that the Messiah was on earth. Oh, my. If we could only do the same thing tonight. If we could realize that He's not dead. He's alive forever more; He lives to make intercession. "Because I live, you live also." Here it is in us; His Spirit's among us.
From that time, the men of the city believed on God because the woman's testimony. Jesus never did it again down there; He just went down and done it that one time, and all Samaria believed on Him. He never had one healing service; He was saving that for Philip. But from that time on, that woman was changed; that city was changed.

L-80 One time an old fisherman, an old greasy apron around him, his brother, Andrew, brought him up before Jesus. And as soon as he come before Jesus, Jesus said, "Your name is Simon; you're the son of Jonas." And from that time... From that time, that was a different man.
Philip went and found Nathanael and brought him to Him, and He said, "Behold an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
He said, "Rabbi, when did You know me?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." And from that time... From that time, he was a changed man. Anyone is changed that ever comes in contact with God.

L-81 There was a little old hook-nosed Jew... The Church with the keys had made a great big blunder. They'd went around and said, "Now, let us all come together." (We'll see what good the keys did.) Went around and said, "Let's all come together and select one man who's went in and out from among us from the beginning to take Judas' place, because it's written in the Scripture, 'Let his place be desolate and let another take his bishoprick.'"
And said they cast lots, and it fell upon Matthias, and he never done a thing. That was man's choice. And God went out and He got the meanest little old guy there was in the city to take his place, a little old Jew.
He said, "I'll just show him what I'll make him...?..."
And he... Watched Stephen when he died, that kindy got on to him. Then the next thing you know, he was on his road down. He had a letter in his pocket, said, "I'll get on them holy-rollers. I got the letter right here from the high priest. I'll go down to Damascus, and I'll throw them in jail; I'll do everything I can. I'll stop that screaming, and shouting, and all that carrying on, speaking in tongues and things. I'll get orders; I'll do it." Had a little nose hanging down like that.
God said, "I'll just meet him in the road and change him."
About midday, he was coming along the middle of the road, and the first thing he knowed, that Pillar of Fire appeared before him, and said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
He fell onto the ground. He said, "Lord, Who is it that I'm persecuting? What's Your Name?"
He said, "I'm Jesus, and it's hard for you to kick against the pricks."
