<TITLE>20. Par 228-245</TITLE>L-228 We ought to realize that, though we aliens in this world, we are sons and daughters of the King of Heaven. And we, our character within us, should be like Jesus Christ, that (He) we might reflect His, by His Being. God is in His people. Yes. I believe that with all my heart.

L-229   John 14:12 said, Jesus said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also, the same manifestations." Look what we been finding during this week, how He manifests Himself to be Messiah, a gift that was in Him. He could discern your heart, discern their thoughts, tell them what it was.

L-230 A little woman pressed through the crowd one time, touched the hem of His garment. She said, "If I must but touch Him!" She run off in the crowd, and stood up, set down, whatever it was.

L-231 And everybody with their arms around Him, "Hello, Rabbi, young Prophet! How You doing?"

L-232 And some of them saying, "Hey, I hear You can raise the dead! We got a graveyard full of them." Critics, you just find them everywhere.

L-233   And there He was, pressing on through. After while He stopped. He said, "Who touched Me?"

L-234 When, Peter might have said these words, "Lord, they'll think there is something mentally wrong. Look at the arms and hands that touching You from everywhere, and then say, 'Who touched Me?'" He rebuked Him for it.

L-235 Jesus said, "But I felt a different kind of touch, a real touch."

L-236 So many of us tonight have confessions, so many of us do different things, but yet there's a touch, there is something that calls the attention to God. And God reflects Hisself in His child. The work that He does, we are supposed to do the same.

L-237 There the little woman set down. Jesus looked around till He found her. He told her about her blood issue, and said her faith had saved her.

L-238   Oh, we see Him when the little woman, at the well, come to get a bucket of water. And she was thirsty, and she started to let down the--the bucket into the well, when she heard a young Jew say, "Bring Me a drink."

L-239 Looked over there and said, "It's not customary. We have segregation here. You shouldn't ask me, a woman."

L-240 Said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you would ask Me for a drink." And then went ahead with the conversation till He found what her trouble was. He said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I have no husband."

L-241 He said, "You've told the truth. You've got five, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. You've told the truth."

L-242 She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. And we know that when the Messiah cometh, this is the very thing that He will do."

L-243 He said, "I am He that speaks to you." Oh, my! What was He doing? Reflecting God.

L-244 What is the Church supposed to do? Reflect the same thing that He did. Certainly. Oh, reflecting, God in His people!

L-245   I remember, in the Bible, when an old prophet, so filled with the Holy Spirit, till a Shunammite woman had a baby. And it died, and the prophet didn't, couldn't hear from God, nowhere. But he walked up-and-down the floor, to and fro, until the Spirit of God come on him. He stretched hisself up over that little dead baby, and he sneezed seven times, and come to life. What was it? That prophet? No, sir. God in His people. That's right. It was God in His people. Certainly. That's exactly right.
