Now, if our Lord Jesus was here tonight in a body of flesh, wearing clothes like we wear, He would do just what the Father would show Him to do. God was in Him, made Him Emmanuel. And whatever God would speak or reveal to Him, that He’d know. But now, when it come to the people, when He begin to speak to the people, and talk to them a little while, He perceived their thoughts, what they were thinking and what was the matter. First He’d come in contact with them. Like the woman at the well, He said, “Bring Me a drink,” just in order to catch her spirit. See, we’re human. And we’re supernatural also. Every person in here is a supernatural being. And in your body dwells a spirit. And if that spirit is either of God or it’s not of God. And now, that’s the part that we have to deal with. And now, gifts and callings, of course, are without repentance. God foreordains things to be. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] See? God does that.
