<TITLE>20. Par 234-246</TITLE>L-234   Now, Jesus, when He come to His own people, listen what the Bible said. "Many mighty works He could not do, because of their unbelief," after He showed Himself to be Messiah. Now, He proved it in that day, He was Messiah.

L-235 May God help me to humble my spirit in such a way that I can prove that He is still Messiah; that, the same God that was on the earth, can take a--a mortal body, surrender to Him, and work through it exactly the way He promised to do. Would not that be convincing? Wouldn't that be showing that He's--He's not asleep? He's awake. He's ready for you to call Him in action.

L-236   Now what about me standing here, tonight, what have I got to do? There is hundred and fifty people here, I guess, something like that. Whether it's a hundred and fifty, whether it's one--one person, was five hundred thousand, don't make any difference. Just the same. See?

L-237 Now, if anybody thinks that this is bogus, and not right, I ask you to come up and take my place and do the same thing. Uh-huh. Yeah. See? You know better than to try that. Uh-huh. See? Notice. But, now, God has to prove whether He's right or not. Now, if the Lord God...

L-238 Is this one of the... Give that boy your card there. Come here. Here is a lady, lot younger than I am. I've never seen her in my life. I suppose we're strangers to one another? That's right. We do not know one another.

L-239   Now, when you go home, you read Saint John, the 4th chapter, and you find out if this isn't even a little round place... Anybody ever in Palestine, up there at--at Sychar? That little well is still there where that woman was at; little round place, vines on it. And Jesus set over against the wall when the woman come up. He was standing in the little panoramic when the woman come up from the street down here, come up and got the water, the end of the street. And she come up there. And now He carried a conversation with her until He found where her trouble was, then He told her what her trouble was.

L-240 And when He did that, she said, quickly, "Sir, You must be a prophet, see, 'cause You..." He had to have... Then if He was a prophet, that was the Word of God coming to Him. But she said, "We know we're looking for the Messiah. And when He comes, that's what He will do." How many knows that's Scripture? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's the Scripture.

L-241   Now, here is my hand over the Bible. I, as far as I know, I've never seen the woman in my life. And she says we're perfect strangers to one another. Now, the Word either has to be right or wrong. Right. It's either right or wrong. We can't make it anything different.

L-242 Now, lady, just to speak with you a moment, like our Lord did to the woman... If He can tell me...

L-243 Now, if I'd say to you, "Oh, course, you had a prayer card. You come up here. You're sick." See? Well, then if I'd say, "Glory to God," lay my hands upon you. "Glory to God, you're going to get well." It's all right, not a thing wrong with that. That's exactly what to do. See? That's right.

L-244 The Bible said, "They lay hands on the sick, they'll recover." That's true.

L-245 But now, you could scratch your head and study, "Did he tell me right? Am I going to get well?"

L-246 Now, what if--if the Something that knows your life, what you have been, what you have did, and, or what's wrong with you, like He told that woman what was her trouble? And if He could tell you them things, well, surely if He know what has been, He knows what will be. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Sure.
