<TITLE>15. Par 124-135</TITLE>L-124 But there was something another to that predestinated seed, that there was something interesting in this Person, so she talked to Him. What happened? He told her the things that she had done. And when He did that, told her these things she done, she said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a Prophet. You don't know me." Why did she know He was a prophet? Because the Word had come to Him.

L-125 The Bible said, "If there be one among you, who is spiritual, or a prophet, I the Lord will make Myself known to him. And if what he says is the truth, then hear him, for he is My representative, he is my Word manifested."

L-126   And she said, "Sir, otherwise, we haven't had a prophet for four hundred years. And I perceive that You are a Prophet. Now, we have no Scripture saying that we're to get a prophet now, outside of the Messiah. We know Messiah is coming. And this, which that's the sign of a prophet, we know He is coming and He'll do these things."

L-127 And Jesus then, the great sufficiency came, He said, "I am He." Amen.

L-128 What? Immediately not jump up and run away, "I ain't going to listen to it." She covered her face, "I admit I'm wrong." Humbly she asked, "Give me this water, Lord, that I come here not to draw." See the--see the... her--her, the way that God dresses His people?

L-129   Now what? She's ready. Then it's revealed to her that That is Messiah. And immediately she went into action. Stop her? You couldn't do it. Right into the city, and said, "Come see a Man Who has told me the things I've done. We've been looking for the Messiah, and there He is." And the Bible says that the men of that city believed because of the woman's testimony. She had something so real that she could display. Her influence, after meeting Jesus Christ and bringing back the direct results that her Bible, that she had been taught, told her that the Messiah would do, she convinced the men that That was the Messiah. Four hundred years, they never had nothing like it, "And here is the Man." And her testimony, yet a prostitute, was convincing.

L-130   Oh, young lady, you might not live that kind of a life. But, oh, if you could only meet this One I'm talking about, what your influence will be to your schoolmates!

L-131 Young man, like Saul, educated, smart, what an influence he was to the whole Christian world. He was sent as an apostle to the Gentiles, when he met this Jesus in the Pillar of Fire, that day, knowing that That was the same God that brought his people out, of Israel out of Egypt, Israel out of Egypt. If you could meet this same God! That's the Bible, manifested, proving that He is God, the vindication of Him right on earth now, that His Word is made known, for, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever." What an influence you will be to your church, to your community, to the entire everybody you come in contact with. You'll be a changed person. Yes. Yes, sir.

L-132   Peter, when he seen and was convinced, that... We find out, he had fished all night and had taken nothing. He was a fisherman. He knowed when the moon changed, and when fish run and when they didn't. But he was kind enough to sit down and listen to Jesus, for a few minutes. He didn't get up and run out. He stood to hear it through. And after the message was all over, and everything, because that he was kind enough...

L-133 He had fished all night and got nothing. How many Simons is there in here this morning, how many will listen to this tape? Simons, you've jumped from Methodist, to Baptist, to Pentecostal, to Oneness, to Twoness, to Threeness, to every thing, and still got nothing. Why don't you sit down and listen just a minute? Just loan a few minutes of your time to Christ.

L-134   Watch the Word come. "Simon," now He is commissioning him, "let down the net for the draught."

L-135 And when he got a hold of the fish, he said, "Lord, I seined all night. It's beyond my intelligence. I can't explain how."
