<TITLE>16. Par 175-191</TITLE>L-175 How did He do it? By doing something just like He did before His crucifixion. He opened their eyes, and seen Him perform something that they seen Him do, and He--He alone does it.

L-176 He is different from all other men. You ever once see Him, there--there... There's no man can do what He does. See? And they don't do it the way He does it. And He has always did it that way, and He never changes. And Hebrews 13:8 is right, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-177   Once inside, once He got inside of them, then He identified Himself by doing something that He... like He always done.

L-178 Same as He did for the woman at the well. Notice. There she come up, very arrogant, little old ill-famed woman. Probably the poor kid had been turned out on the street, to live any way. But right there in her heart she had a predestinated seed laying there.

L-179 And them priests and everything over there, they had a--they had a education, a--a conception. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... to begin with. He said so.

L-180 But this little woman, her life was all marred. Right down here was a little bit of light, but way down in there was a seed waiting. See? And as sure as the light can strike a seed that's germitized, it'll live.

L-181   So, here she comes up. Maybe she was late with her work. She couldn't come up with the rest the women, anyhow. She, maybe a pretty little lady, packed her water bottle on her shoulder. And went up there and started to let it down to... well. She heard this Man say, "Bring Me a drink." He went to talking to her.
And He said, "Go get your husband and come here."

L-182 Now, see, down, she knowed that that was the sign of the Messiah. She said to Him, "I have no husband."

L-183 Said, "That's right. You've had five. The one you have now is not your husband."

L-184 She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. We haven't had a prophet for hundreds of years. I perceive that You are a prophet. Now, we know that we're looking for the Christ, the anointed Messiah. And when He comes, that's just exactly what He'll be."
Now look. He said, "I am He, that speaks with you."

L-185 Right into the city she went. She had no right to do that, according to their laws. A woman of that type, the man wouldn't listen to her. But try to stop her? Like a house on fire, on a windy day. Here she went. She said, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?"

L-186   Now remember, Jesus never repeated it. He never done one time in there, but they said the whole city believed on Him because of the woman's testimony. Think of it. Oh, my!

L-187 When she knew the promise, what the Messiah would be, and when she seen that promise fulfilled, it opened her eyes. See? They been closed with sin, but when that promise... She said, "That's... The Messiah will do that when He comes."

L-188 He said, "I am He." Her eyes were opened. She has Eternal Life because her eyes was opened.

L-189 Peter's eyes was opened; Nathanael's. We talked of it last night.

L-190 What has it done to our eyes in these days? A promise fulfilled, has it opened their eyes? We seen in Saint John 14:12, Hebrews 13:8, Saint John 14:9, and we seen Luke 17:27-28, and all these Scriptures that's promised, Malachi 4, all of them fulfilled right here before us, what has it done to our eyes? If it doesn't open them, it'll blind them Eternally. It opens some, blinds the others. See? It opens them who it... these last days, what He's promised to do. This what He said, He would do it, "Restore back the Faith."

L-191   Oh, Pentecostal people, professors of God's Holy Spirit, may the God of Heaven open--open your eyes from tradition, to a living God, of a promise of the Bible that we claim to believe, what He said He would do. Abraham's royal Seed, called out in the last day, and Jehovah would come down among the flesh of His people and do exactly like He did at the days of Sodom.
