<TITLE>12. Par 116-131</TITLE>L-116   She knew right then that, when Messiah come, Messiah had to be God. God is the Word. The Word is a discerner of the thoughts in the heart. That's what was in the prophets. That woman knowed more than half of the preachers in America knows tonight, that's right, that's exactly right, and her in that--that stage. But, see, she was ordained to Light, and as soon as that Light broke!

L-117 And she thought He was just an ordinary man, maybe a proposition. She said, "Why, our fathers worshiped in this mountain. And You say in Jerusalem, being a Jew," and so forth, the conversation...
He said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
Said, "You've said right. You've had five."

L-118 Watch! That little speck of Light, of knowing Who He was, that looked like it could be so. "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet. I know, when the Messiah cometh, that's what He'll do."
He said, "I am He."
She said, "That settled it!" See?

L-119 All of her blackness was made white. All the Pharisees' white was made black, by rejecting It. That's the difference, shining Light through the Word. See? Because her name had been put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world, she recognized It right now. It took that little Seed, was laying back behind all this vulgar dirt and everything like that, and cleaned it out.

L-120   That's what He come for, to clean out them kind that the Father had give Him before the foundation of the world. Amen. I feel religious, when I know that to be the Truth. "Not he that willeth, or he that runneth; it's God." Amen. Not how much you done, or how much you didn't do. No man sought God; God sought you.

L-121 And when the Light flashed, them Pharisees said, "Oh, that, I've heard that stuff before. He is Beelzebub. That's a fortuneteller." Then the whole thing went black.

L-122 And this little woman, black up here, and white down here. She said, "I know when the Messiah cometh. I am looking for Him. When He comes, He'll do that. You must be His prophet."
He said, "No, I am Him."

L-123 She said, "Come, see a Man that told me the things I've done. Isn't that the Word that discerns the thoughts that's in the heart? Isn't that the very Messiah?" She ought to be in the United States, preaching tonight, as much as I'm against it. She, she ought to be here doing something like that, showing some of these fellows what is the Messiah.

L-124   Notice, once inside, opened their eyes. Then, by the Scripture, He showed Himself. Now He opened their eyes.

L-125 Then when she said that, He come in. She, the... What was come in? The revelation; this Seed that was down here, when that Son Light turned on it!
You can take a seed and bury it under a rock.

L-126 I seen, not long ago, where they had sunflower seeds they'd had in a package for nearly four thousand years, in Egypt. They took that seed, and some of that wheat that was in the garner, that Joseph put in there, all those years. And when it was placed in the ground, and the sun struck it, it lived. That germ of life stayed there.

L-127 Oh, brother, when we were ordained of God, before the foundation of the earth, to be sons and daughters of God! When that Light strikes it, there is no denomination, no church boundaries, there is no criticism, there is nothing going to stop it. It's going to live, 'cause God said it would.

L-128   They recognized it. Her eyes come open, and she knew it. She knew it, once inside. She knew the Scripture, that's the reason she knew Him.

L-129 These disciples after His resurrection, didn't know the Scripture, and that's the reason they didn't know Him.

L-130 And that's the way the Pharisees didn't know it. He said, "Search the Scriptures. You think you have Eternal Life, I... They're the one that tell you Who I am."

L-131 Oh, the vindication of His Being! Then when the promise is a vindicated, their eyes were opened, and they knew Him.
