<TITLE>13. Par 137-150</TITLE>L-137 He said, "Well, I'll give you Water to drink; you don't come here."
She, "Sir, Sir, give me that Water."

L-138 See, she was humble about it. And when she humbled herself, then Jesus showed her the sign of the Messiah, and that put her into action. She was ready to go then, she was ready to tell everybody she come in contact with. See?

L-139   Actually, on the traditions of the Eastern country, them man would have never listened to that woman. A woman like that ain't got no voice amongst the people. She certainly hasn't. She can't say nothing. But you try to stop her? She was in action. She had to tell somebody, "Come out here and see for yourself. The Man told me what I done. Isn't that what we've been looking for? Isn't that what the Scripture says, that the Messiah, when He comes, He'll do this?" She was in action because she got humble, and God got into her.

L-140   Peter, when he took His Word. When he seined all night, being a fisherman out there, and he come in, discouraged, no fish. Any good fisherman knows what that is, with no fish. Then, the first thing, he had washed his nets, laid them out upon the bank, and was letting them dry.

L-141 And Jesus came down and asked to borrow his boat. He preached. Then He said, "Simon, launch out into the deep and let down for the draught. Go right back where you've seined, all night. Go right back where you've toiled, hour after hour, and let down for a great draught of fish, a great taking."

L-142   Now look. He said, "Lord, we've toiled all night and have taken nothing. But at Thy Word, Lord, I'm going to let down the net. At Thy Word!" That's it, take God at His Word. And when he let down the net, he enclosed such a great draught of fishes until the net begin to break.

L-143 That put him in action. Yes, sir. Jesus' influence on him put him into action, and he dropped the net. And Jesus said, "Fear not, from henceforth ye shall catch man."

L-144   The blind man, when he was healed, sitting at the gate and... or setting in the street. And the Pharisees said, "Anybody professed Him, or had anything to do with Jesus, would be put out of the temple."

L-145 They, they come, asked the father and mother. They said, "He is of age; ask him."
He said, "Man, called Jesus, healed me."

L-146 Said, "This man is a sinner. He don't belong to our groups. We don't know from whence He come. Give God praise!"

L-147 He said, "Now, whether He's a sinner or not, I don't know." He said, "But this one thing I do know; wherein I was blind, I can now see." And said, "The funny thing is, to me, that you're supposed to be the spiritual leaders of this hour, and this Man opened my eyes, and yet you don't know where He come from." What did he do? He got in action. That's right. It put him into action, because that he spread His fame abroad throughout all the country.

L-148   The people, at the Day of Pentecost, when Jesus told them to wait up there, and they would be... Come down, and when the Holy Ghost came down upon them at the Day of Pentecost, when they were influenced by the Word of God made manifest. Now remember, Jesus said, "Wait at Jerusalem until you're endued with Power from on High." They waited, not eight days, not nine days; they waited ten days, until the promise was made manifest. And the Holy Ghost fell and divided Itself, and tongues of Fire set upon each of them.

L-149 And while they were influenced by the Holy Ghost, they went into action, staggering like drunk man, screaming, speaking in tongues, out into the street they went.
They said, "These men are full of new wine."

L-150 He, Peter, stood up, and he said, "This is That which was spoken of by the prophet, Joel, 'And it'll come to pass in the last days.'" What did it do? It put him into action.
