LIVING WATER
July 08-08

It is recorded of Jesus in John 4:4, “But He needed to go through Samaria.” Samaria, then, was not a place that any Jew would want to go to, just as Jesus did. Knowing Jesus, who came for everyone, and most especially the rejected and the sinners, he decided there was a need for Him to go through Samaria. Does He have a need to go through you today? His going through you will leave a mark of deliverance, and reservation, for all that will allow Him to go through them. In His going through Samaria, He met a woman who had come to draw water from a well where Jesus was waiting for His disciples, who had gone to buy food. Jesus asked for water from the woman and the woman responded, “…”How is it that You being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.””(John 4:9) Obviously, the woman had no prior idea of whom she was talking to, but Jesus did point out to her reluctance in giving water, by Him offering the woman the living water. Jesus went even further and said to the woman, “…Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever 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.”(John 4:13-14) When the woman heard Jesus, she asked for Jesus to give her the water that will not make her thirsty any more. From the moment of her asking, Jesus was able to reveal all, her life history that could be likened to the living water running through her life, flushing out all the “flushables” and wetting all of her dryness. The woman that was initially asking for what to use in drawing water, began to carry the living water around without a water pot. “The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.” (John 4:28-30) Going out, witnessing, and bringing sinners to the Lord is the greatest way of scoring for the Kingdom of God. Jesus also revealed in John 7:37-38, “…“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” The Samaritan woman believed and she flowed, as living water, to many in her city. It was a demonstration of soul winning dryness, not to be witnessing and winning souls for the glory of God. Can you account for the number of souls that have come to the Lord through you in the past one to twelve months? The living water is a life giver, restorer, and repairer. Above all it revives life. 
Prayer for today: Ask God to fill you with the living water that will terminate every representative of dryness in areas that the Lord has called you.
