Living Water
Living Water
Moving, rain, not stagnant,
promised water that springs-up inside of you
A water that brings eternal life
a soul cleansing water
BUT she could not grasp the spiritual
her heart was darkened
we cannot blame her for not understanding
we cannot blame her for not understanding
She was dead in trespasses and sins
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
She enjoying the discussion / debate
give me this water so I don’t have to come here

Go Get Your Husband
V 16 Jesus is going straight to the heart
Shoot a ray of light into into the darkness
V 18 we can see into her deep need
Lets pretend we see into her past life
unloved by her parents
Jesus answered and said you are right
abused
in the non stop search for love
man after man … if only...
Emotionally and spiritually empty
she was addicted to the euphoria of falling in love
looking for something only Jesus could give her
finally giving up on the commitment of marriage
getting older and the fear of still not finding the security of a man
Finally Jesus comes with that Living Water to quench her thirst
Gently and compassionately without condemnation
You Are A Prophet
You Are A Prophet
V 19 You are someone From God
You see me, my need,
V 20 you say worship there we say worship here
What is the right answer?
I want this living water
The Messiah is going to come and give us the answer
Jesus response V 21
your worship is incomplete
your worship is mingled with false worship
but there is a time coming...
V 25 Woman - the Messiah is coming and is going to tell us
I AM
I AM
V 26 I AM, the one speaking to you
Jehovah, Lord - God in the person is speaking to you directly
God said to Moses Tell the people “I Am That I am”
God’s personal name
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
She like everyone else will Go to Hell if they don’t believe Jesus is God
A this point her eyes are open
Peter in the boat
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Isaiah realizing His sinful condition
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

The woman also when Jesus revealed to her her spiritual condition
revealing his deity
Her life was changed,
it took God to show her her darkness
it too God to pierce that darkness
people think that they are OK until God reveals
when God does convict of sin, and eternity
we come in faith believing in the finished work of the cross
then there is joy, peace
her whole life was looking for real love
Her love bucket remained unfull
she would try to fill the bucket with stagnant water
fill it with water for dishes
fill it with wedding water, (just made that up) that soon went dry
There are Men, woman, Children in this town who need their love buckets filled
it was only when Jesus came into her life that Her bucket remained full
We need to introduce them to God
