“John 4:1-26

New King James Version

A Samaritan Woman Meets Her Messiah

1 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John ² (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), ³ He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. ⁴ But He needed to go through Samaria.

⁵ So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. ⁶ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” ⁸ For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? ¹² Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, ¹⁴ butwhoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”

Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ ¹⁸ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. ²⁰ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.²² You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spiritand truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. ²⁴ God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”

²⁶ Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.””

When I meet people now it isn’t for coffee, tea or for a beer, it is for water. The Grace of God is incredible. Lifting us all into a place that surpasses all instances of what society appears to be. Society appears to care, appears to help and appears to love. God is moving mountains to bring genuine care.

I see my faith moving things into place that seemed hopeless. I have been eating with the Homeless for 6 days now and every connection, every moment there is an improvement. Encouraging others. Inspiring others. Lifting others. All through the Hand of God. It isn’t me. I am merely His vessel. A beautiful vessel at that. Joy exuding.
After dinner the other night I skipped down the street! Inner childlike joy from living in the deepest gratitude. This is who I AM. The Great I AM. Completing me by my faith in Him. John Chapter 15. Just as the scriptures say.

Just the other day God led me to Christ Child Society on Miracle Lane in Town and Country. I went to this place to help a homeless friend named Sean. He is so tall, size 14 shoe and all he has is a bag of items to his name. He needed a new blanket and me being homeless and without a job myself was concerned about being able to provide for him but God did it.
I found the donation area and a woman that worked there gave me an entire bag of warm items just for Sean. A hat, gloves, a sweatshirt, 2 blankets and a heart of God’s Love.

“What is impossible with men is possible with God.”

Luke 18:27

I am living proof of that.
