<TITLE>20. Par 239-249</TITLE>L-239 He had need to go by Samaria. He was going to Jericho, but He went up to Samaria, the city of Sychar. And He met this woman, and He begin to talk to her until He found where her trouble was. Then He told her her trouble, and quickly, her in that condition, she recognized that that was the sign of the Messiah.

L-240 Well, if that's Him yesterday, it would be the same One today, if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that true, audience? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See?

L-241   Now we are meeting for our first time. I am not He, and you're not she, but He still is God. [The sister says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's right, see. Now if you can have faith in--in what I am saying, in the Word! I'll never say nothing but what's in this Word. ["Praise the Lord!"] He might do things outside of that Word; but just as long as He does That, I know That's right, then, see. ["Yes, sir."] And now you don't know me, I don't know you.

L-242 So therefore if you were sick, and I laid hands upon you, and hollered, like that great warrior, Brother Roberts, or some of those, Brother Allen or some of those man, lay hands upon you and say, "Hallelujah, the Lord heals you," that's good. You believe that, and it'll work. See? [The sister says, "Amen."--Ed.] See? But now what if He stands here and tells something that you have done, or some reason that you are sick, or something that's happened down through life, or something you ought not have done? ["That will be fine."] Oh, that that, you would know that that had to be right, right clear to your mind then. ["That's right."] That's right.
Would it yours, out there? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-243   Now what am I talking to the woman about? See, I never kept on that message tonight (I got to perseverant), see, it would change me into preaching. And now have to come back to discernment, relaxing myself, getting William Branham over on the side.

L-244 How many ever seen that picture was taken here in Houston? And you... It's here. It's out front here now, see. That's hanging right beside, between me and the woman, right now. There It is, milling right around. If the woman wanted to witness to it; she knows, in the last few seconds, there has been something like a real sweet feeling. [The sister says, "Yes."] If that's right, raise up your hand. ["Amen. Amen."] See? I'm looking right at It. See, it's like living in another dimension. I'm watching It, through the woman. ["Amen."]

L-245   Now, the lady, one thing, she is extremely nervous. [The sister says, "Yes."] And that's what you wanted me to pray for. And that's just natural cause right now because of this time of life that you're living in, getting this age and so forth, that makes you nervous.

L-246 Another thing, you've got something in your side, it's--it's like little pockets of air, like, gathers in your side. [The sister says, "That's right."--Ed.] Now is that right? ["Yes, sir."] Raise up your hand, if that... ["That's--that's a statement from the doctor."] See? ["Praise His holy Name!"]

L-247   Now, see, now there that is again, somebody saying, "He guessed." You, I'm going to call who that is, one of these days, see. Don't do it. You can't hide yourself now, remember, see. The--the Word, It's here, Itself. Not me, friend; I'm just your brother. But the Word is here.

L-248 Here, she is a good person, let's see if I guessed that. I don't know now what I said. It'll have to come through that tape, for I know it. Now just a moment. Yes. Yes, she--she gets nervous, which that's the cause from a--a time, her age and things. She's...

L-249 And then, another thing, you've had a--an operation. [The sister says, "Yes, sir, I have."--Ed.] And that was a female affair, sometime ago. That's right. ["Yes."] That's made you nervous-er than ever. That's right, isn't it? ["Yes, sir, it is."] Uh-huh, that's right. And that made you nervous, 'cause, at this time of life, made you more nervous. Now, you think I'm guessing it? ["No."]
