<TITLE>12. Par 32-35</TITLE>L-32 "Now, there said, 'I perceive that You are a prophet. We Samaritans know that there's coming a Messiah which is called Christ, the anointed One, the prophet that Moses spoke of. And we know when He comes, He will tell us these things, because that'll be the sign of the Messiah. He'd be a God sent prophet. We know that He's coming. Jesus said, 'I'm He.'" Oh, my. "'I'm He that speaks with you.' And she looked again, she dropped that water pot and took off in the city as hard as she could. You remember we--we went over; we said, 'Eat Master, eat Master.' He said, 'I have bread to eat that you know not of.'"
"And we went on down into the city, and here come the men coming out. And we remember that woman going down through the street, we could hear it plumb out to that well. All the men around the market place was saying, 'Come, see a Man. Come, see a Man, Who told me the things that I've done: isn't this the very Messiah? Isn't this the sign of the Messiah? Yes, come, see the Man, that told me what I've done: isn't this the Messiah?' And brethren, you remember when all them men come out there, and they believed that woman's testimony and accepted Him as the Messiah. Oh, we all witnessed that, so we all know they must have said, brethren, that we know that He is the Messiah."

L-33 "And He promises now, for us not to go to any Gentiles, that'll be for another age, but go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. See? Now, strange He's made Himself known to the Jews, He's made Himself known to the Samaritans, but not to the Gentiles. He will perhaps do that later; they're not looking for a Messiah."

L-34 Now, must've been about that time that Satan looked over the top of the hill after it got dark. Satan's scared of light. Any devil's afraid of light. That's right. Any creeping evil thing is afraid of light. You take a wild animal in the jungles of Africa, or to be out there hunting, just flash on a light, they're gone. They're scared of the light. Get an old nasty roach; throw a apple core down out somewhere, when it's dark he will come around nibbling, just turn the light on and watch him take for cover, certainly. Spiders and everything else will take off. They're afraid of light. That's the reason people are afraid of these old time Holy Ghost meetings. Children of darkness work in darkness. Children of light walk in Light. "Ye are the light of the world, a city that sets on a hill." Don't put a bushel over it now. See?

L-35 Satan looked over soon as it got dark and said, "Well, I guess it's about time for me to start prowling all the night clubs, and honky-tonks, and everything." Said, "I wonder where them disciples and--and Jesus is." So they looked, and as him and all of his demons looked, there they was out on the sea without Him. Said, "Now's our chance; they've gone off without Him. Now we can get even with them."
That's just what he looks for you and I, to go off without Jesus one time. I say this with reverence and respects. I'm afraid that's what the Pentecostal people are doing. You're going off after big buildings, and big organizations, and societies, and you've left Him. You're so busy in building programs. You forgot the little mission down on the street and the old tambourine, the guitar. And you're afraid of jail sentences and things again. See? There's something wrong: went off without Him, got on a tantrum, programs and so forth, and forgot about Him. That's the reason our sisters bob off their hair and wear these little old dirty clothes. And deacons is put in the church...
