<TITLE>22. Par 74-77</TITLE>L-74 Now, here He stands with this woman, and He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I have none."
He said, "You said well. You've had five, and the one you're living with now is not yours."
She... What? Look at this little prostitute. She turned, and she said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet." What a difference. That woman knowed more about God than half of the preachers in the United States (That's right.) in her condition.
Look. She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. We (the Samaritans), we know that Messiah is coming, which is called Christ. And when He comes, that'll be His sign." Oh, my. That's what He was yesterday. See, see? "We know that Messiah, which is called Christ, when He comes He will tell us these things. Who art Thou?"
And He said, "I'm He that speaks to you."

L-75 And what did she do? She left that water pot. She run into the city, and she said, "Come, see a Man that's told me the things I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah."
And the people in the city believed on Him because the woman said that He told her what she had done. Is that right? Well, that was Jesus yesterday. Now, it wasn't His dress. They all dressed alike. Wasn't the way He wore His beard, or combed His hair. They all wore it the same. But it was the manifestation of God's Word in Him, discerning the thoughts of the heart. How many believes that?
Well, that's Jesus yesterday. That'd be Jesus today, wouldn't it? The same Jesus, same Jesus that was with Moses... Moses forsook Egypt, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than that of Egypt. That was Jesus yesterday. Paul said, "He's the same today and will be forever." Why is it? Jesus is the Word, the manifestation of the Word, the Word made flesh.

L-76 Now, in closing I might say this. We could stand here all night, but we'd never get to the end of it, 'cause it's just the whole Bible, just hugged right around there. See? Now, remember. That was the end of the Jewish dispensation, and the--and the Samaritans. That--that ended them.
Now, being three, that was Ham and Sham's people. Now, what about Japheth's people, this people, the Gentile? Now, we wasn't looking for no Messiah. And they had four thousand years to believe He was coming. And when He come, they didn't believe Him. And He done the Messiahic sign to prove that He was Messiah, and those Jews that were ordained to life believed it.

L-77 Look at that little prostitute. Well, she'd stayed out of their churches, probably formal, cold, and stiff, didn't do her no good. But as she was predestinated to Eternal Life. And as soon as that thing was done, quickly she recognized It. What was It? That Light... That seed broke forth to Life. Yes. "All the Father has given Me will come, and no man can come except My Father draws him first." Amen. There you are.
And as soon as that Light flashed, what'd she say? Said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet. We know Messiah is coming to do this thing. And when He comes..."
He said, "I'm He that speaks with you."
Now, it wasn't right for her to go into the city, but try to stop her. No matter what she was, try to stop her once. It's like putting a house out, it on fire on a windy day. Oh, she had a testimony. She knowed the Word, and she said, "There's the Messiah there. He told me the things I've done. Search the Scriptures. Isn't that the very Messiah?"
And the man said, "That's it," and they believed on Him. He didn't do it no more. He just done it to that one woman, showed her that. And all the men of the city believed on Jesus because the woman said so. Oh, my.
