<TITLE>32. Par -</TITLE>L-790-232 That little old prostitute walked out there at the well that day to get a bucket of water, and a middle-aged Man setting over there said, "Bring Me a drink."
She said, "Why, it's not customary for you Jews to ask a woman of Samaria such."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to..."
"Now," she thinks, "here's a smart-aleck Jew." She turned around and said, "Uh, I see you're a Jew, and if you're a Jew, of course, you're religious. And you say to worship at Jerusalem, but our father Jacob, drank from this well and watered his cattle here, and the water's deep, and you ain't got nothing to draw with, and we worship in this mountain."
He said, "Just stop a minute. Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "I don't even have a husband."
He said, "You've told the truth." Said, "You've got five--you've had five, and the one you're living with now is not yours."
That little prostitute, predestinated, I can just see her set that pot down, and she said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet."

L-791-238 See, see? That Seed was laying there. The only thing It needed was Water, and the Water had fell on It.
When it fell upon those Pharisees, they said, "It's Beelzebub." It couldn't bring nothing, there was nothing there but weeds to come from.
But when that predestinated Seed struck that Water of Life, she said, "Sir, You must be a prophet. I know that when the Messiah cometh, He'll tell us these things."
He said, "I am He that speaks to you."
She left that water pot and into the city; she had something to tell. She said, "Come see a Man Who's told me the things I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?" See? She took sides with Jesus. That's right.
Strange thing, wasn't it? All the Pharisees and Sadducees didn't know Him and this prostitute knowed Him. See? Why? Those who believed Him and loved Him and seen His signs, they knowed that was the sign of the Messiah. There's no getting around it; they knowed it.

L-791-243 When old Nathanael walked up there, maybe before Philip, said, "Now, I don't know about this, Philip. I've seen a lot of things rise up in these last days. I know there's a lot of things going on." But he walked up there before him and said, "I'll go listen to Him and see what He's got to say."
Walked up there and Jesus 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."
What did... The Water struck that predestinated seed. When It did, he said, "Rabbi, thou art the Son of God. You're the King of Israel."
What was it? The Seed was laying there, ready. God sowed It back yonder before the foundation of the world, that It should bring forth the Light right at that time. Hallelujah.
That's my stand right there, brother. That's where I believe, right there. I preach It and It falls here and there, and they go this way and that way. It don't make any difference, somewhere It's going to strike a Seed. And when It did, It'll fly out to Life just like that, just as sure as the world. Yes, sir.
