<TITLE>17. Par 162-175</TITLE>L-162 You don't have to have any control, somebody tell you what to do with it. God leads each individual in the--the way He wants you to do. You are a--an individual, yourself. You are a part of God. Nobody can take your place. And there is no way to have to go to somebody, and say now, I'll have to "do this with it," or I have to "do that with it." No, sir. God uses it the way that--that He wants to. When you're thirsty, you know enough to drink.

L-163   And if you're thirsting this morning, drink from It, that's all you have to do. God had provided a way for their thirst, the thirsty children to partake freely of Himself. And God has provided a way for every man and woman this morning, who is hungering and thirsts. Perhaps there is people sitting here, have never been saved. There is people sitting here who is on the verge of being saved.

L-164 There is people here, sitting here as church members, you want to do right, but you're drinking from a tank. They will never tell you these Truths.

L-165 The only thing, to come, is take the promise of God and come to that Fountain, then He will quench the thirst. "He that drinks from this Fountain shall never thirst again."

L-166   Notice now how--how He liberated His--His ones who received this water, by grace, and not by a system or a cistern of education. He vindicates His Word, is a Life-giving resource. How many in here knows that you received Life when you taken that Word and His water, just you know that you received Life? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-167 Let's take, well, for instance, just another example, or two, and then I'm going to close just in a moment. I--I must have that button somewhere. But notice. I just keep talking, but I don't mean to do it. Look, let's take for an example, just a couple people.

L-168   Let's take the woman at Jacob's cistern, a dug well. There she was sitting there. That's all the woman knowed, was this cistern where she come to get water. And over against the well she found, in the little panoramic there, a Man sitting there, a Jew. And she was a Samaritan, it's a city of Sychar. And we find out that this Man, this Jew, spoke an unusual Word to this woman, said, "Bring Me a drink."

L-169 She said now, "We have segregation. It's not--not right for you to ask me a question like that; You being a Jew, and me a Samaritan."

L-170 He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you would ask Me for a drink, and I would give you waters that you don't have to come to this cistern to drink it; be a well of water bubbling up in you." Notice when she found that this proved to be the Truth!

L-171   Now, first, any man could have said that. But she said, "You say worship in Jerusalem, and we worship in this mountain."

L-172 He said, "Salvation is of the Jews. We know what we believe. But," said, "let Me tell you one thing," in words like this, "neither in this mountain, or at Jerusalem. The time is coming when man shall worship God in Spirit and in Truth, for the Father seeketh such." He said, "Go get your husband and come here." Watch, here it proved it. Here show what fountain she was at. Said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I don't have any husband."

L-173 He said, "You've said the truth." See, it looked like it was a plain contradiction to what He had asked her, and said, "Go get your husband."
Said, "I have no husband."

L-174 Said, "You've said the truth." Said, "Because you've had five, and the one you're living with now is not yours."

L-175   Watch that woman, how different from the priests of that day! The priests of that day seen that same thing happen, and said, "That's a devil, a telepathy, or--or a Beelzebub." See, they failed to see the Word promising that.
