<TITLE>08. Par 75-88</TITLE>L-75   God only meets the worshiper through the Blood, and under the Blood. Israel had one place to meet God. Not in a... God has got one Place, today, that He--He meets the worshiper; not at the Methodist, Baptist, or Pentecostal. He meets them under the Blood. That's the only provided place God has; not in the organization, not in a union. But in the Blood is where Jesus Christ meets His worshiper. "When I see the Blood!" That's God's provided way.

L-76   After the church had been thoroughly convinced, when they seen Him, that He was the Messiah!

L-77 When the little woman at the well, when she needed a Saviour, she needed something to show. She had been to church and everything else, and they had seen this creed and that creed, till, she turned to be a prostitute. It turned her on the street. One day, she was going to get a bucket of water, about eleven o'clock in the day, and there sat a Man; a Jew up here, at this little panoramic. And she said...

L-78 When she went to drop her bucket down over the windle, to get the water, she heard a Man say, "Woman, bring Me a drink." And she said...

L-79 She turned quickly, and thinking Him just to be an ordinary Jew, for He was just human as far as the body was concerned. He was a Man; eat, drink, slept, like we do. He was so much human till He could die, and yet He was God. Then we find out, that when...

L-80 Said "It's not customary for you Jews to ask Samaritans such things as that."

L-81 He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you would ask Me for a drink." Said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I have no husband."

L-82 Said, "Thou has said the truth. You've got five, and the one you're living with now is not yours." What happened? God had provided something for her.

L-83 She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. We know that when the Messiah cometh, He'll tell us these things. That's what He'll do. The Word says so. We're looking for it. I'm sick and tired of all this stuff, their creeds and things, Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodians, whatever it might be. But we know a Messiah is coming, when He comes. What do You say about it?"

L-84 He said, "I am He." Amen! God had provided a way. She left the water pot, a changed woman, and run into the city, and said, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?"

L-85   Peter, listening to Andrew's story, and many times had listened, heard Andrew talk about John introducing a Messiah, and a Man, and all these things taking place. It was all mystery to Peter. But one day he come with Andrew, to see Jesus. And when he got in the Presence of Jesus, Jesus looked at him, and He said, "Your name is Simon, and you're the son of Jonas." God had provided the way for Peter to see Who He was. He was that Messiah.

L-86   Now we find out, that after Jesus had died, and ascended into Heaven, the Church needed Power, to witness. God give them a Pentecost. He provided a Pentecost.

L-87 Two thousand years has passed, friends. Two thousand years has passed. In these latter days, we have got so, man has got into the system of Christianity and has perverted It again, hybrid It to creeds, churches, denominations, intellectual speeches, until the Power and the real thing of the Gospel of Christ is practically lost. And here we are with Word promised for this last days, what will happen, what will take place; man don't believe It. They've got away from It. You ask them if they're a Christian; say, "I belong to so-and-so." That doesn't mean one thing. You got to be a Christian by birth. Now we got the whole thing into a Babylon again, after two thousand years.

L-88   The Church today needs Power and Truth, again. Oh! God raised up His Son, that this would be taken care of, for He said, "A little while and the world will see Me no more; yet you'll see Me, for I'll be with you, even in you." We find out, in Hebrews 13:8, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
