<TITLE>08. Par 18-21</TITLE>L-18 Oh, there it is. "If you knew Who was talking to you." I'm sure if every sinner in here, feeling the Presence and the atmosphere of setting together tonight in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, and that little feeling that's telling you, if you knew Who that was talking to you: "You ought to have this experience. Maybe those people are right; it's..." You're thinking in your heart. That's God talking, if you only knew Who it was.
"If you knew Who it was talking, you'd ask Me for a drink. And I'd give you waters that you don't come here to draw."
And she said, "The well is deep, and you have nothing to draw with, and so forth."
But He said, "The waters that I give is life, springing up, Everlasting Life."
And then the question come about through a religious debate, where you should go to church at. Said, "You say, we ought to all go to Jerusalem, and our father, Jacob, dug this well, and let his cattle drink from it, and his family, and--and we worship in this mountain, and you say, 'At Jerusalem.'"
And quickly He said, "Neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem. But God is a Spirit; they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and the truth--Spirit and truth."
And He said then, when He contacted her spirit and found what her trouble was; He said, "Go get your husband, and come here." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
"Who art Thou?"
And He said, "I'm He, that speaks with you."
No more needed to be said, she was convinced that that was the Messiah that was promised by the Old Testament. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] She forgot all the things of the world, let--even left her water pot setting there, 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?" And the men of the city believed on Him, because of the woman's testimony.

L-19 Wonder if the men of Shreveport would believe on Him tonight, if He being the same yesterday, today, and forever, would come to the Life Tabernacle, and would do the things that He did then? I wonder if we would be so convinced, that we could tell our neighbor, and tell the people, "Come, see a Man, Who's told me the things that I've done, isn't this the Messiah?" Wonder then, if it could be told then that, "Truly this is the Messiah. It's this Holy Spirit that they're talking about. That the world calls a fanaticism, it's proved to be the same Messiah, with the same signs, and the same wonders, and the same power, and the same deliverance." Wonder if it could be said like that. It would mean more protection than all the bomb shelters you could get. That's right. It'd be a rapturing experience.

L-20 Oh, they were all convinced. It must have been about that time, it got dark, and Satan saw them alone without Him. Now, that's just what the devil wants, is to see the church without Christ. I don't care what your name is, how much your name's in gold letters, "We are the holy church; we are this." It's not holy church; there's no such a thing as holy church. There's no such a thing as holy mountain, holy relics, or even holy people. It's Holy Ghost in the people what makes the holy part: Holy Spirit.
Say, "Oh, he's a holy man." He's not a holy man; it's the Holy Ghost in the man. I always kinda different with the saying, "The Acts of the apostles." That isn't the acts of the apostles; they were men. It was acts of the Holy Spirit in the apostles, that brought forth the great victory.

L-21 And when Satan seen the little church without Christ, then he said, "This is my opportunity. This is the time when I'll teach them how to blaspheme me." And he begin to blow with his breath, a storm down on the sea.
And the little boat was just about to sink, perhaps, in the--Galilee there; the waves was so heavy they went almost to the bottom. And perhaps, on every gleaming wave, and every lightning time that flashed, the devil would laugh out there, and say, "I got them now, because they've gone away without Him."
