<TITLE>14. Par 114-123</TITLE>L-114 God can do without you, He can do without me, but we can't do without Him. We've got to have Him, for He is Life, and He alone. Not to know His Book, not to know this, or know that, or know the creed. "But to know Him is Life," know Him as the Person, Christ in you, the Word made flesh in you. That's knowing Him. When He, you and He, became, becomes one, like I said last night in The Super Sign. He has got to come in you. You! God and man must come one. You're conscious of your littleness.

L-115   Now, in closing, I might use the other two wings, thirdly. He could fly with these other two wings. Watch! Face covered by the holiness of God, and in reverence; His feet covered in humility; and with two wings He could put Hisself in action, to move. God was showing His prophet how a prepared servant ought to be. "Quit looking at Uzziah! Here is your example I've sent before you: cover your face in reverence, cover your feet in humility, and go into action!" Oh, what an example! He had looked at Uzziah so long, and seen it fail, now God is telling him what to do, showing him a prepared servant. He went into action.

L-116   Like the woman at the well, went into action as soon as Jesus told her she had five husbands. That woman had been looking for something like that to happen; four hundred years, no prophet. And, all at once, she goes up to get the water, one morning, unexpectedly, and there she met something real.

L-117 God will place Him before us, somewhere, sometimes, unexpectedly. I hope He does it this morning.

L-118 He did it to her when she didn't expect it. And when He told her, "Woman, bring Me a drink," and she discussed with Him about the water, and He had nothing to draw with. And He let her know that He had water that she wouldn't come there to draw.

L-119 And then they went to talking about where, what the religious rights was, said, "Our fathers worshiped in this mountain. You say, 'at Jerusalem.'" And Jesus, after a while...

L-120   What was He? He was the Word. Saint John 1, "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Hebrews, the 4th chapter, said, "The Word of God is quicker, more powerful than a two-edged sword, cutting." It just don't baby and pat. It cuts, coming and going. See, "Cutting to the marrow of the bone, and It is a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." That's the Word, the Word made flesh. And here it was, what did He do? He looked upon them and could perceive their thoughts, because He was that Word, and the unchangeable Word. And He is still the same. He doesn't change. Now, notice, in this unchangeable Word, He looked right into the woman's face.

L-121   And here she was standing, as we would call her today, a woman of ill fame, a street prostitute, or something, maybe a child had been turned out and let go by parents; and too many of them today. But here was this lovely, pretty, young, maybe teen-age woman, maybe in her eighteenth year, she--she would be out of high school. And here she had took the road that's wrong, and the morals of her life was decayed. And she had nothing she could hold onto, yet, a--a pretty girl.

L-122 And she goes up to get some water, and she runs into a Man there that spoke to her. And she said, "There is a segregation here. You shouldn't speak to me. You're a Hebrew and I'm a woman of Samaria. And, after all, look who I am. Why do You speak to me? What do You want?" See, her--her--her--her motive was wrong.

L-123   And, many times, what if that woman would have throwed down the waterpot and walked away, like some people get up and walk out of the meeting before they know? See, it would have never been that way.
