<TITLE>12. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 As Andrew goes on with the story, just for a moment or two longer. Andrew said, "You know He told the woman. Now, she was a Samaritan."
There's only... As I said last night, there's only three races of people on earth: Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people. If we believe the Bible, they all sprung from them two--them three sons: That's Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan.
You remember Peter was given the keys to the Kingdom? Where did he open it up? At Pentecost to the Jews. Went down to Samaria, although as Philip had went down and preached to them the baptism of the Holy Ghost and was baptizing them, and they were ready to receive it, but Peter had the keys, come down, laid hands on them; they received the Holy Ghost.
Then at the house of Cornelius, the Gentiles, Acts 10:49, we find out that Peter was sent by a vision up, "and while he yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on them." From that time on the Holy Ghost was just to whosoever will, let him come, but he had the keys to the Kingdom.

L-40 Now, notice them three races. Now, as I said last evening... I had to hurry, reason I'm repeating this in another way tonight. I had to hurry. You were nervous, and--and they were telling there's alert and so forth. Now, that you're calmer tonight and quiet, notice. The Jews were looking for a Messiah, and the Messiah was supposed to come and declare Himself by--to be the Messiah.
Now, do you think Jesus come unscripturally? He wouldn't have been Jesus. He wouldn't have been the Son of God. He had to come according to the Scripture, but not according to the thoughts of the churches of that day. He was different from the thoughts of the church, their doctrine about it, but He come according to the way the Scriptures was written.
And that's what I'm trying to bring back to your memory tonight, the same thing. He comes according to the way He's promised to come.

L-41 Now, remember. If God is ever called on the scene to act, and the way He acts first, He has to act every time afterwards the same way, or He did wrong when He acted first. So if that was the way of making Himself known in that day to the Jews and to the Samaritans who were looking for a Messiah...
No Gentile was looking for a Messiah. We were Romans and Greeks and worshipping gods of iron, and steel, and marble, and like a lot of them are still doing, and--and like that, with a club on our back.
But now after two thousand years of theology and teaching, now the Gentile Church, the elect Church, is looking for the Messiah. Now, He will have to act when He's coming this time just like He did that time. He will have to do the same things, 'cause the Word said He would do it.

L-42 Now, so that you'll see that our Christ is not dead. He's with us, living in us, right here with us now. And now, if I can get you to see that, then it's the very easy thing for you to accept your healing. It isn't about my hands being laid on you. I'm a man. It's His hands. Find Him.
Now, notice. When they listened and heard the conversation of this. Now, this is a--a woman of ill fame now in Samaria. She was a bad woman, so they were listening. And when they heard, He said, "Go get your husband and come here." Now, He talked to her long enough to catch her spirit. He said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
"And you remember, brethren," Andrew might've said to the rest of the brethren, said, "You remember how we all thought, 'Oh, oh, oh, oh. Here's one time He's caught.' Because He tells her that she has an--that she hasn't got a husband. Said, 'Go get your husband and come here, rather.' Said, 'Go get your husband.' He's telling her she's got a husband, and she says she hasn't got a husband. She's contradicting His Word. Now, what's going to happen?"
