<TITLE>17. Par 67-71</TITLE>L-67 What is He trying to do? He is contacting her spirit, because what is the Word of God? A Discerner (Let's say it.), Discerner of the thoughts of the mind. See? What is He doing? He's talking to her, contacting her spirit, and He found her trouble. How many knows what it was? Sure, we all do. He said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
He said, "You have said well, for you've had five husbands. And the one you're living with now is not your husband. You said well."

L-68 Watch that woman. Watch these Pharisees, and trained up-and-ups. See? They said, "This man's Beelzebub. He's a devil." Look when that light flashed across that little predestinated seed there. When it struck that real seed of God that was before the foundation of the world, probably, name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life. When it struck that, quickly she recognized it. In her condition, she recognized it. Brother, I say that woman knowed more about God right then than half the people in the United States. Right. Yes, she recognized. Why? She was ordained before the foundation of the world. See? When that light struck it...

L-69 Them Pharisees, they were educated, and had a lot of theology and stuff. But they didn't know the Word, and saying... She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Whew. What a difference between that, and that high priest and all of them, you know. "I perceive that You are a prophet. We know, we Samaritans, we know when Messiah cometh, that'll be His sign." Oh, my. The Jew, now the Samaritans. "We know when the Messiah cometh He will tell us these things."
He said, "I'm He that speaks with you." That was Jesus yesterday. See what He was? Not His different dress, not His different look, not His different nothing. He was what was inside of Him manifesting Him. Hallelujah. I started to say, "Excuse me, but I couldn't say that. I'd be sacrilegious. I--I may act a little crazy, but I feel good this way. So just let me alone, you know. I feel better this way.

L-70 Notice. When he said... "You must be a prophet." She knew they hadn't had a prophet for hundreds of years. Said, "You must be a prophet. We know when the Messiah cometh, we're taught that. We know it by the Scripture, that when Messiah cometh He will tell us these things. That'll be the things He will do."
Jesus said, "I'm He that speaks with you."
And from that she left the water pot and run into the city. Listen at her message now. Now, remember in the east, it's practically the same way. They won't listen to a woman of ill-fame. But the man on the street... But you couldn't stop her. She'd done found something. She run into a city. They had to listen to her, like a house on fire. They had to give heed to her. She run in the city and said, "Come, see a Man that's told me the things I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?" And the Bible says that the men of the city believed on Him, because of the testimony of the woman.

L-71 That was Jesus yesterday. Is that right? He's the same today. (Have we got time for one more statement, just... And then I--I'll start the prayer line, just one thing now.) Now, remember, the way He vindicates Hisself at the close of each age, He has to do it each time. Now, that was the closing of the Jewish age--the literal seed of Abraham, we know, which was from Isaac. But now, there's a royal seed came through Christ. That's the church. Do you believe that? All of us believe that. Now, watch. That's the way He showed Hisself when He closed off on the Jews and Samaritans, in that age.
