Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - When Your Emotions Come Under Attack | November 10, 2025
  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.252
  • Joseph prince: if you drink from human relationships,
  • 00:00:12.097 --> 00:00:14.066
  • All right, just solely from human relationships,
  • 00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:17.102
  • You can be thirsty again.
  • 00:00:17.236 --> 00:00:18.670
  • But jesus says, "but if you ask me, i'll produce in you a well
  • 00:00:18.770 --> 00:00:20.205
  • Of living waters and you will never thirst again."
  • 00:00:24.276 --> 00:00:27.946
  • So a lot of people, they have a thirst.
  • 00:00:27.946 --> 00:00:29.515
  • I'm not talking about physical thirst.
  • 00:00:29.515 --> 00:00:30.849
  • I'm talking about emotional thirst,
  • 00:00:30.849 --> 00:00:32.551
  • Spiritual thirst.
  • 00:00:32.551 --> 00:00:33.886
  • You know, they think that thirst can be quenched
  • 00:00:33.886 --> 00:00:35.387
  • By going for a holiday.
  • 00:00:35.387 --> 00:00:37.156
  • They come back thirsty, sometimes more thirsty.
  • 00:00:37.156 --> 00:00:39.458
  • They feel like the thirst can be quenched
  • 00:00:39.458 --> 00:00:41.360
  • By getting into a relationship,
  • 00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:43.128
  • But the thirst is not quenched.
  • 00:00:43.128 --> 00:00:44.563
  • So they are looking for the quenching
  • 00:00:44.563 --> 00:00:47.166
  • Of their thirst outside them when jesus says,
  • 00:00:47.166 --> 00:00:50.335
  • "i'll produce inside you a well, springing up
  • 00:00:50.335 --> 00:00:54.606
  • Into everlasting life."
  • 00:00:54.606 --> 00:00:56.241
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:00:56.241 --> 00:00:57.576
  • When you're alone with jesus,
  • 00:00:57.576 --> 00:00:58.911
  • I can't tell you the number of times,
  • 00:00:58.911 --> 00:01:00.379
  • You feel like something is flowing on the inside.
  • 00:01:00.379 --> 00:01:03.415
  • And when you meet people, you just speak,
  • 00:01:03.415 --> 00:01:05.350
  • People are refreshed.
  • 00:01:05.350 --> 00:01:06.685
  • People are blessed. people are helped.
  • 00:01:06.685 --> 00:01:09.855
  • Male announcer: ever wondered how you can live
  • 00:01:09.855 --> 00:01:11.356
  • An extraordinary life?
  • 00:01:11.356 --> 00:01:13.025
  • In today's message from joseph prince,
  • 00:01:13.025 --> 00:01:15.060
  • Discover how god's grace worked in the lives of men and women
  • 00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:18.263
  • In the bible and how he wants to move mightily
  • 00:01:18.263 --> 00:01:20.732
  • In your life today.
  • 00:01:20.732 --> 00:01:22.601
  • Have you ever felt forgotten,
  • 00:01:22.601 --> 00:01:24.169
  • Like success is just out of reach?
  • 00:01:24.169 --> 00:01:26.672
  • In the bible, joseph was betrayed and enslaved,
  • 00:01:26.672 --> 00:01:30.075
  • But he didn't stay there because the lord was with him.
  • 00:01:30.075 --> 00:01:33.445
  • Do you long for provision and peace?
  • 00:01:33.445 --> 00:01:35.714
  • Ruth faced loss and uncertainty,
  • 00:01:35.714 --> 00:01:37.816
  • But she trusted god and saw his faithfulness.
  • 00:01:37.816 --> 00:01:40.786

  • And now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:02:11.550 --> 00:02:13.952
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:13.952 --> 00:02:15.387
  • Joseph prince: one of the ways that god teaches me is
  • 00:02:15.387 --> 00:02:19.358
  • By comparing and contrasting, all right?
  • 00:02:19.358 --> 00:02:21.860
  • And you find that that comes out a lot in my ministry.
  • 00:02:21.860 --> 00:02:24.596
  • Like, the law demands, grace supplies.
  • 00:02:24.596 --> 00:02:28.934
  • And that helps people understand, okay?
  • 00:02:28.934 --> 00:02:31.703
  • Law demands, grace supplies.
  • 00:02:31.703 --> 00:02:35.974
  • And one of the revelations that many of you
  • 00:02:35.974 --> 00:02:38.143
  • Have heard me share is how god put two chapters
  • 00:02:38.143 --> 00:02:40.979
  • Together, all right, side by side, in juxtaposition.
  • 00:02:40.979 --> 00:02:45.617
  • The lord gave me these beautiful side by side
  • 00:02:45.617 --> 00:02:50.355
  • Chapters in john 3 and john 4.
  • 00:02:50.355 --> 00:02:54.159
  • John 3, you have nicodemus, the story of nicodemus.
  • 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.697
  • John 4, you have the story of the samaritan woman, okay?
  • 00:02:58.697 --> 00:03:04.069
  • Jesus at the well. do you remember that?
  • 00:03:04.069 --> 00:03:05.771
  • Okay, so again, they are in juxtaposition,
  • 00:03:05.771 --> 00:03:07.673
  • Side by side.
  • 00:03:07.673 --> 00:03:09.007
  • And let's compare and contrast, okay?
  • 00:03:09.007 --> 00:03:11.209
  • There are lessons there for us to learn.
  • 00:03:11.209 --> 00:03:12.744
  • And you will know what jesus is pleased with.
  • 00:03:12.744 --> 00:03:15.947
  • You will know how to flow with him.
  • 00:03:15.947 --> 00:03:17.282
  • You will know what he's looking for, amen.
  • 00:03:17.282 --> 00:03:20.352
  • Now in john 3 is nicodemus.
  • 00:03:20.352 --> 00:03:22.654
  • Let's read the story here.
  • 00:03:22.654 --> 00:03:23.989
  • "there was a man of the pharisees
  • 00:03:23.989 --> 00:03:25.324
  • Named nicodemus, a ruler of the jews."
  • 00:03:25.324 --> 00:03:27.993
  • Now when the bible says he's a pharisee and then a ruler,
  • 00:03:27.993 --> 00:03:31.196
  • That means he's the creme de la creme, you know?
  • 00:03:31.196 --> 00:03:34.132
  • He's the best of the pharisees. he belongs to the sanhedrin.
  • 00:03:34.132 --> 00:03:39.237
  • In fact, later on jesus says, "are you not a master
  • 00:03:39.237 --> 00:03:41.173
  • In israel?"
  • 00:03:41.173 --> 00:03:42.541
  • The word there is, aren't you the master,
  • 00:03:42.541 --> 00:03:44.609
  • In new king james, definite article.
  • 00:03:44.609 --> 00:03:46.645
  • So he is a person who is a pharisee of pharisees,
  • 00:03:46.645 --> 00:03:49.981
  • All right?
  • 00:03:49.981 --> 00:03:51.316
  • A person of stature.
  • 00:03:51.316 --> 00:03:52.651
  • Not just an ordinary pharisee, okay?
  • 00:03:52.651 --> 00:03:54.586
  • So you see this man, he came to jesus by night.
  • 00:03:54.586 --> 00:03:58.890
  • He was ashamed, all right, to have his colleagues,
  • 00:03:58.890 --> 00:04:02.160
  • And the people see him come to jesus, all right?
  • 00:04:02.160 --> 00:04:05.397
  • Obviously, jesus evoked in him a thirst for something more.
  • 00:04:05.397 --> 00:04:12.504
  • With all his learned, you know, his being erudite and in skill
  • 00:04:12.504 --> 00:04:20.145
  • In the torah, in the laws, in the rabbinical literature
  • 00:04:20.145 --> 00:04:23.215
  • And all that of his day, he's considered
  • 00:04:23.215 --> 00:04:25.751
  • As like a harvard student graduate, you know.
  • 00:04:25.751 --> 00:04:29.121
  • But the thing is that there was a hunger in this man.
  • 00:04:29.121 --> 00:04:32.657
  • He came to jesus.
  • 00:04:32.657 --> 00:04:33.992
  • In john 4, it was a samaritan woman.
  • 00:04:33.992 --> 00:04:37.229
  • So let's compare.
  • 00:04:37.229 --> 00:04:38.563
  • John 3 you have nicodemus, a man.
  • 00:04:38.563 --> 00:04:41.666
  • John 4 you have a woman. contrast.
  • 00:04:41.666 --> 00:04:45.337
  • John 3, all right, he came to jesus by night.
  • 00:04:45.337 --> 00:04:48.974
  • He didn't want anyone seeing him.
  • 00:04:48.974 --> 00:04:50.809
  • John 4, the bible gives us the time that jesus met
  • 00:04:50.809 --> 00:04:53.044
  • The woman at the well.
  • 00:04:53.044 --> 00:04:54.379
  • It was the 6th hour, noonday sun, broad daylight.
  • 00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:57.916
  • You see that?
  • 00:04:57.916 --> 00:04:59.251
  • All right, so nicodemus came at night,
  • 00:04:59.251 --> 00:05:00.652
  • Jesus met the woman in broad daylight.
  • 00:05:00.652 --> 00:05:04.022
  • Then another thing is this, in john 3 for nicodemus,
  • 00:05:04.022 --> 00:05:08.026
  • He sought jesus.
  • 00:05:08.026 --> 00:05:12.431
  • John 4, jesus sought the woman.
  • 00:05:12.431 --> 00:05:17.102
  • Jesus went all the way to where she was.
  • 00:05:17.102 --> 00:05:20.071
  • Here you find-- so the thing is this,
  • 00:05:20.071 --> 00:05:22.340
  • Some people think that the more learned you are,
  • 00:05:22.340 --> 00:05:24.843
  • You know, the more, you know, the kind of ideas
  • 00:05:24.843 --> 00:05:28.280
  • They have about holiness.
  • 00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:29.948
  • This nicodemus, he's a theologian.
  • 00:05:29.948 --> 00:05:34.519
  • The samaritan woman is ignorant of the bible.
  • 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.856
  • In fact, she's a samaritan. you know what's a samaritan?
  • 00:05:37.856 --> 00:05:40.292
  • Samaritan claim themselves to be jews,
  • 00:05:40.292 --> 00:05:41.793
  • But they're not jews.
  • 00:05:41.793 --> 00:05:43.128
  • You find their history in 2 kings 17.
  • 00:05:43.128 --> 00:05:46.932
  • How the king of assyria during the time of hoshea,
  • 00:05:46.932 --> 00:05:49.801
  • King of israel, this king of assyria came,
  • 00:05:49.801 --> 00:05:52.504
  • All right?
  • 00:05:52.504 --> 00:05:53.839
  • Took the people of israel captive because they were
  • 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.208
  • In idolatry, all right?
  • 00:05:56.208 --> 00:05:57.542
  • God allowed him to come and take the people of israel captive,
  • 00:05:57.542 --> 00:06:00.412
  • And then the assyrians planted their own people
  • 00:06:00.412 --> 00:06:03.715
  • With some babylonians in the place called samaria.
  • 00:06:03.715 --> 00:06:07.152
  • So, samaritans claim that they are jews,
  • 00:06:07.152 --> 00:06:08.553
  • But actually they are not.
  • 00:06:08.553 --> 00:06:09.888
  • They're actually assyrians and babylonians, okay?
  • 00:06:09.888 --> 00:06:12.924
  • But they have the same old testament
  • 00:06:12.924 --> 00:06:14.292
  • As the jews, and they claim that god is to be worshipped
  • 00:06:14.292 --> 00:06:17.729
  • At mount gerizim, in samaria.
  • 00:06:17.729 --> 00:06:20.098
  • So the jews didn't like them and they didn't like the jews.
  • 00:06:20.098 --> 00:06:23.268
  • Are we clear on that?
  • 00:06:23.268 --> 00:06:24.603
  • Okay, so here you have a man who is a upper class man, okay,
  • 00:06:24.603 --> 00:06:29.808
  • Nicodemus, a jew of jews, a pharisee of pharisees.
  • 00:06:29.808 --> 00:06:32.777
  • John 4, you have a sinner woman who is a samaritan.
  • 00:06:32.777 --> 00:06:35.780
  • One is a jew; one is a gentile, okay?
  • 00:06:35.780 --> 00:06:40.919
  • Which one is jesus more comfortable with?
  • 00:06:40.919 --> 00:06:44.356
  • In this case, john 3, the man sought jesus.
  • 00:06:44.356 --> 00:06:46.992
  • In john 4, jesus sought the woman.
  • 00:06:46.992 --> 00:06:49.528
  • Let's see what jesus did, all right?
  • 00:06:49.528 --> 00:06:50.962
  • In john chapter 4: "he left judea,"
  • 00:06:50.962 --> 00:06:54.099
  • Don't forget why he left judea, they rejected him,
  • 00:06:54.099 --> 00:06:56.668
  • "and departed again to galilee.
  • 00:06:56.668 --> 00:06:58.570
  • But he needed to go through samaria."
  • 00:06:58.570 --> 00:07:01.339
  • I love that phrase.
  • 00:07:01.339 --> 00:07:02.774
  • You know, "he needed to go through samaria."
  • 00:07:02.774 --> 00:07:05.544
  • Why is that word "needed" there?
  • 00:07:05.544 --> 00:07:07.612
  • In the old king james, "he must needs go through samaria,"
  • 00:07:07.612 --> 00:07:12.951
  • Because that woman was there.
  • 00:07:12.951 --> 00:07:16.154
  • The savior, having been rejected by his own people,
  • 00:07:16.154 --> 00:07:21.059
  • Has so much grace, so much love,
  • 00:07:21.059 --> 00:07:23.528
  • That he knew there's a woman who needed that love.
  • 00:07:23.528 --> 00:07:26.865
  • And that woman had been looking for love
  • 00:07:26.865 --> 00:07:29.100
  • In all the wrong places.
  • 00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:30.769
  • She had five husbands, and she was living currently
  • 00:07:30.769 --> 00:07:34.673
  • In adultery.
  • 00:07:34.673 --> 00:07:37.042
  • People say things like if someone had five husbands
  • 00:07:37.042 --> 00:07:39.878
  • And they are now living in adultery,
  • 00:07:39.878 --> 00:07:42.247
  • Means divorced all the five and now living in adultery,
  • 00:07:42.247 --> 00:07:46.017
  • You know, i don't think jesus will come to find them.
  • 00:07:46.017 --> 00:07:48.553
  • Here you have a story. he must needs.
  • 00:07:48.553 --> 00:07:51.323
  • "he must needs to go through samaria."
  • 00:07:51.323 --> 00:07:55.126
  • He needed to go through samaria.
  • 00:07:55.126 --> 00:07:57.529
  • John 3, the theologian sought jesus.
  • 00:07:57.529 --> 00:07:59.764
  • John 4, jesus sought the sinner. don't you just love him?
  • 00:07:59.764 --> 00:08:04.569
  • All right, the bible says, back to john 4:
  • 00:08:04.569 --> 00:08:06.838
  • "so he came to a city of samaria which is called sychar,
  • 00:08:06.838 --> 00:08:09.174
  • Near the plot of ground that jacob gave
  • 00:08:09.174 --> 00:08:10.909
  • To his son joseph."
  • 00:08:10.909 --> 00:08:12.243
  • And jesus was sitting at the well,
  • 00:08:12.243 --> 00:08:13.578
  • Waiting for the woman
  • 00:08:13.578 --> 00:08:14.913
  • And she came in the noonday's heat
  • 00:08:14.913 --> 00:08:16.548
  • Of the sun to draw water.
  • 00:08:16.548 --> 00:08:18.683
  • Most women would not come during that time.
  • 00:08:18.683 --> 00:08:21.252
  • And he says to her, "give me water to drink."
  • 00:08:21.252 --> 00:08:23.755
  • And she says, "how come you're a jew asking me, a samaritan,
  • 00:08:23.755 --> 00:08:28.393
  • For water?
  • 00:08:28.393 --> 00:08:29.828
  • The jews have no dealings with samaritans."
  • 00:08:29.828 --> 00:08:31.997
  • And jesus says, "woman, if you knew who is the one
  • 00:08:31.997 --> 00:08:34.466
  • Talking with you, and who is it that says to you,
  • 00:08:34.466 --> 00:08:38.536
  • 'give me the drink,' you would ask him,
  • 00:08:38.536 --> 00:08:41.873
  • And he will give you living waters."
  • 00:08:41.873 --> 00:08:45.644
  • And she says, "how can i do it?
  • 00:08:45.644 --> 00:08:47.045
  • You don't have any rope, nothing.
  • 00:08:47.045 --> 00:08:48.380
  • How can you draw from this deep well?"
  • 00:08:48.380 --> 00:08:50.715
  • And jesus says, "the water that you drink from here,
  • 00:08:50.715 --> 00:08:53.852
  • You will thirst again," all right?
  • 00:08:53.852 --> 00:08:56.254
  • Now don't forget, later on, we find out that she had had
  • 00:08:56.254 --> 00:08:58.223
  • Five husbands.
  • 00:08:58.223 --> 00:08:59.557
  • So do you think jesus was talking about the water?
  • 00:08:59.557 --> 00:09:01.826
  • When you drink this water, you will thirst again?
  • 00:09:01.826 --> 00:09:03.862
  • Obviously, he's talking about her search for love.
  • 00:09:03.862 --> 00:09:08.133
  • Her thirst for true love.
  • 00:09:08.133 --> 00:09:09.801
  • If you drink from human relationships,
  • 00:09:09.801 --> 00:09:11.736
  • All right?
  • 00:09:11.736 --> 00:09:13.071
  • Just solely from human relationships,
  • 00:09:13.071 --> 00:09:15.040
  • You can be thirsty again.
  • 00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:16.741
  • But jesus says, "but if you ask me, i'll produce in you a well
  • 00:09:16.741 --> 00:09:22.347
  • Of living waters, and you will never thirst again."
  • 00:09:22.347 --> 00:09:25.950
  • So a lot of people, they have a thirst.
  • 00:09:25.950 --> 00:09:27.419
  • I'm not talking about physical thirst.
  • 00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:28.753
  • I'm talking about emotional thirst,
  • 00:09:28.753 --> 00:09:30.388
  • Spiritual thirst.
  • 00:09:30.388 --> 00:09:31.723
  • You know, they think that thirst can be quenched
  • 00:09:31.723 --> 00:09:33.425
  • By going for a holiday.
  • 00:09:33.425 --> 00:09:35.226
  • They come back thirsty, sometimes more thirsty.
  • 00:09:35.226 --> 00:09:37.462
  • They feel like the thirst can be quenched
  • 00:09:37.462 --> 00:09:39.597
  • By getting into a relationship, all right?
  • 00:09:39.597 --> 00:09:43.034
  • Illicit even.
  • 00:09:43.034 --> 00:09:44.569
  • But the thirst is not quenched.
  • 00:09:44.569 --> 00:09:46.004
  • So they are looking for the quenching of their thirst
  • 00:09:46.004 --> 00:09:49.708
  • Outside them when jesus says, "i'll produce inside you a well,
  • 00:09:49.708 --> 00:09:55.580
  • Springing up into everlasting life."
  • 00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:57.782
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:09:57.782 --> 00:09:59.117
  • When you're alone with jesus,
  • 00:09:59.117 --> 00:10:00.452
  • I can tell you the number of times,
  • 00:10:00.452 --> 00:10:01.920
  • You feel like something is flowing on the inside, amen.
  • 00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:05.423
  • And when you meet people, you just speak,
  • 00:10:05.423 --> 00:10:07.392
  • People are refreshed.
  • 00:10:07.392 --> 00:10:08.727
  • People are blessed. people are helped.
  • 00:10:08.727 --> 00:10:12.130
  • They love to have you around, amen.
  • 00:10:12.130 --> 00:10:16.668
  • That woman was only concerned about her water pot.
  • 00:10:16.668 --> 00:10:20.839
  • And she says, "oh, give me this water
  • 00:10:20.839 --> 00:10:22.841
  • So that i never have to come here again and draw water."
  • 00:10:22.841 --> 00:10:25.243
  • You see her thinking?
  • 00:10:25.243 --> 00:10:26.578
  • She can't go beyond the water pot.
  • 00:10:26.578 --> 00:10:29.380
  • She is what you call natural.
  • 00:10:29.380 --> 00:10:32.417
  • But notice how with divine precision and skill,
  • 00:10:32.417 --> 00:10:37.388
  • The loving savior brings her to a place where her concern
  • 00:10:37.388 --> 00:10:40.625
  • Is no more the water pot, but something deeper
  • 00:10:40.625 --> 00:10:43.261
  • Because her thirst was deeper, all right?
  • 00:10:43.261 --> 00:10:48.666
  • But at the present moment, she cannot see beyond her toil,
  • 00:10:48.666 --> 00:10:51.903
  • Cannot see beyond her water pot.
  • 00:10:51.903 --> 00:10:54.239
  • So she looks at jesus and says, "give me this water
  • 00:10:54.239 --> 00:10:56.341
  • So i never have to come here again."
  • 00:10:56.341 --> 00:10:57.809
  • All she can think of is physical water.
  • 00:10:57.809 --> 00:11:00.445
  • Then jesus says, "go call your husband here."
  • 00:11:00.445 --> 00:11:04.249
  • She looks at jesus, "i have no husband."
  • 00:11:04.249 --> 00:11:07.285
  • Jesus looks at her and this is what i call the divine sandwich.
  • 00:11:07.285 --> 00:11:10.088
  • You've heard me share this, all right?
  • 00:11:10.088 --> 00:11:12.257
  • He said to her this: "you have well said, 'i have no husband.'"
  • 00:11:12.257 --> 00:11:16.094
  • So he complimented her first: "you have well said."
  • 00:11:16.094 --> 00:11:18.863
  • The word, "well said."
  • 00:11:18.863 --> 00:11:20.198
  • "well" is kalos in greek which actually, literally,
  • 00:11:20.198 --> 00:11:23.067
  • "you have beautifully said you have no husband."
  • 00:11:23.067 --> 00:11:27.105
  • I can't imagine a preacher today telling someone who is living
  • 00:11:27.105 --> 00:11:29.174
  • In adultery, "you have beautifully said
  • 00:11:29.174 --> 00:11:31.643
  • You have no husband."
  • 00:11:31.643 --> 00:11:33.077
  • It's more like, "you, you..." you know?
  • 00:11:33.077 --> 00:11:34.779
  • It's like, this is jesus of the bible, amen.
  • 00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:40.952
  • Now, is adultery wrong? yeah, of course.
  • 00:11:40.952 --> 00:11:43.788
  • But notice how he brings her out of it.
  • 00:11:43.788 --> 00:11:46.758
  • Not with condemnation.
  • 00:11:46.758 --> 00:11:48.626
  • Later on, she'll realize that she's in the presence of someone
  • 00:11:48.626 --> 00:11:51.596
  • Who knows all about her sin and yet not judge her,
  • 00:11:51.596 --> 00:11:57.335
  • Yet not repelled by the sin, amen.
  • 00:11:57.335 --> 00:12:03.074
  • Jesus said, "you have well said you have no husband.
  • 00:12:03.074 --> 00:12:05.243
  • You've had five husbands,
  • 00:12:05.243 --> 00:12:06.578
  • And the one whom you are now living with
  • 00:12:06.578 --> 00:12:08.279
  • Is not your husband; in that you spoke truly."
  • 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:12.717
  • Here comes the next compliment.
  • 00:12:12.717 --> 00:12:14.052
  • The first one: "you have beautifully said."
  • 00:12:14.052 --> 00:12:15.920
  • The last one: "you said honestly."
  • 00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:20.124
  • Now, john 3, nicodemus, he says, "how can these things be?
  • 00:12:20.124 --> 00:12:23.828
  • Born again.
  • 00:12:23.828 --> 00:12:25.163
  • Can a man go again down to his mother's womb?"
  • 00:12:25.163 --> 00:12:26.731
  • And jesus says, "are you a master--
  • 00:12:26.731 --> 00:12:28.867
  • The master in israel and you do not know
  • 00:12:28.867 --> 00:12:31.069
  • These things?"
  • 00:12:31.069 --> 00:12:32.904
  • So for the theologian, he humbled him.
  • 00:12:32.904 --> 00:12:37.275
  • For the sinner, he lifted her. are you listening, people?
  • 00:12:37.275 --> 00:12:43.214
  • Do you know why he wanted her to know that he knows
  • 00:12:43.214 --> 00:12:46.084
  • Everything about her?
  • 00:12:46.084 --> 00:12:47.452
  • Because you will never know that you are loved
  • 00:12:47.452 --> 00:12:50.021
  • Until you know that person knows everything about you
  • 00:12:50.021 --> 00:12:52.924
  • And still loves you.
  • 00:12:52.924 --> 00:12:55.260
  • So jesus was bringing this woman to a place where he wanted her
  • 00:12:55.260 --> 00:12:58.196
  • To know he knows everything about her in spite of her sin.
  • 00:12:58.196 --> 00:13:02.033
  • He knows about her sin.
  • 00:13:02.033 --> 00:13:03.368
  • He wants her to know that he knows about her sin--
  • 00:13:03.368 --> 00:13:06.337
  • That she's not trying to deceive him.
  • 00:13:06.337 --> 00:13:07.906
  • He knows about her sin and yet he drew near.
  • 00:13:07.906 --> 00:13:11.175
  • Yet he's not repelled by it. yet he asked her for a favor.
  • 00:13:11.175 --> 00:13:18.082
  • I love this jesus.
  • 00:13:18.082 --> 00:13:20.818
  • Another thing we need to see is that nicodemus--
  • 00:13:20.818 --> 00:13:23.154
  • Finally by the way, nicodemus, he didn't get a chance
  • 00:13:23.154 --> 00:13:28.192
  • To hear john 3:16, right?
  • 00:13:28.192 --> 00:13:30.094
  • It's in john 3.
  • 00:13:30.094 --> 00:13:31.529
  • But again, it was a correction for this jewish mind
  • 00:13:31.529 --> 00:13:33.898
  • That says that god is only for the nation of israel.
  • 00:13:33.898 --> 00:13:36.801
  • Rightly so, god is for the nation of israel.
  • 00:13:36.801 --> 00:13:38.336
  • He has a covenant with them.
  • 00:13:38.336 --> 00:13:39.671
  • But, god's love: "for god," jesus told nicodemus,
  • 00:13:39.671 --> 00:13:43.141
  • "for god so loved the world."
  • 00:13:43.141 --> 00:13:45.677
  • Not just israel; the world.
  • 00:13:45.677 --> 00:13:48.012
  • "he gave his only begotten son."
  • 00:13:48.012 --> 00:13:50.081
  • Now which of the persons that we are looking at,
  • 00:13:50.081 --> 00:13:53.785
  • The woman and nicodemus, did jesus reveal himself
  • 00:13:53.785 --> 00:13:59.157
  • As the messiah?
  • 00:13:59.157 --> 00:14:00.959
  • Now, this is powerful.
  • 00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:02.293
  • After the woman realized that jesus knew about her,
  • 00:14:02.293 --> 00:14:04.929
  • "you have had five husbands," john 4 again, she says,
  • 00:14:04.929 --> 00:14:07.432
  • "sir, i perceive that you are a prophet."
  • 00:14:07.432 --> 00:14:10.835
  • Now that's progress, isn't it?
  • 00:14:10.835 --> 00:14:12.637
  • First of all, first of all, she called him,
  • 00:14:12.637 --> 00:14:15.606
  • "sir, you have nothing to draw from the well."
  • 00:14:15.606 --> 00:14:18.176
  • Note that it's "sir."
  • 00:14:18.176 --> 00:14:19.510
  • Now, "sir, i perceive you are a prophet."
  • 00:14:19.510 --> 00:14:24.349
  • That's deeper, isn't it?
  • 00:14:24.349 --> 00:14:25.850
  • Then she says, "i've always had this question."
  • 00:14:25.850 --> 00:14:29.053
  • She says, "our people," the samaritan says,
  • 00:14:29.053 --> 00:14:31.389
  • "must worship god on this mountain, mount gerizim.
  • 00:14:31.389 --> 00:14:33.791
  • You jews say must worship god in jerusalem."
  • 00:14:33.791 --> 00:14:35.860
  • Jesus said, "woman, trust me.
  • 00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:37.762
  • The time is coming that the father is seeking
  • 00:14:37.762 --> 00:14:40.832
  • True worshipers that will worship him
  • 00:14:40.832 --> 00:14:42.900
  • In spirit and in truth."
  • 00:14:42.900 --> 00:14:44.969
  • And the fact is jesus sought her
  • 00:14:44.969 --> 00:14:47.605
  • Which means only those who receive his grace
  • 00:14:47.605 --> 00:14:51.109
  • Are the ones who can worship the father
  • 00:14:51.109 --> 00:14:53.277
  • In spirit and in truth, amen.
  • 00:14:53.277 --> 00:14:58.549
  • Do you see a god who is holy
  • 00:14:58.549 --> 00:15:00.451
  • Yet he's not turned off or repelled by her sin?
  • 00:15:00.451 --> 00:15:03.187
  • He came so close.
  • 00:15:03.187 --> 00:15:05.490
  • He stooped down to even ask her for a favor.
  • 00:15:05.490 --> 00:15:08.893
  • Something that others would never do.
  • 00:15:08.893 --> 00:15:10.795
  • "i'll never ask anything of her.
  • 00:15:10.795 --> 00:15:12.764
  • Terrible, she's living in adultery," you know?
  • 00:15:12.764 --> 00:15:14.932
  • But jesus stooped down and asked a favor,
  • 00:15:14.932 --> 00:15:18.903
  • And it changed her life.
  • 00:15:18.903 --> 00:15:23.941
  • Then she says--jesus said--she said, "when the messiah comes,"
  • 00:15:23.941 --> 00:15:27.845
  • The woman says.
  • 00:15:27.845 --> 00:15:29.180
  • "i know when the messiah comes, he will tell us everything."
  • 00:15:29.180 --> 00:15:32.950
  • Jesus looked at her and said, "i who speak unto you, i am."
  • 00:15:32.950 --> 00:15:37.955
  • Now, your english bible has the word "he."
  • 00:15:37.955 --> 00:15:39.590
  • It's in italics, which means it's not in the original.
  • 00:15:39.590 --> 00:15:42.627
  • Jesus literally told her, "i who am speaking unto you, i am."
  • 00:15:42.627 --> 00:15:47.665
  • I am.
  • 00:15:47.665 --> 00:15:49.467
  • Moses asked god, "what is your name?
  • 00:15:49.467 --> 00:15:51.302
  • So i can tell the children of israel your name
  • 00:15:51.302 --> 00:15:53.304
  • When they ask me."
  • 00:15:53.304 --> 00:15:54.639
  • God says, "tell them, i am that i am."
  • 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.743
  • And here she says, "when the messiah comes,"
  • 00:15:58.743 --> 00:16:00.678
  • Jesus says, "i am," wow!
  • 00:16:00.678 --> 00:16:03.481
  • Nicodemus never heard jesus say, "i am the messiah."
  • 00:16:03.481 --> 00:16:07.718
  • The woman heard jesus say, "i am," wow!
  • 00:16:07.718 --> 00:16:12.757
  • When grace touches someone,
  • 00:16:12.757 --> 00:16:14.826
  • Even though they don't have bible knowledge,
  • 00:16:14.826 --> 00:16:16.727
  • All they can say is, "come, see a man," testimony,
  • 00:16:16.727 --> 00:16:22.166
  • "who told me everything that i did."
  • 00:16:22.166 --> 00:16:26.871
  • You want a bit more?
  • 00:16:26.871 --> 00:16:28.506
  • Want to go a bit deeper into bible prophecy?
  • 00:16:28.506 --> 00:16:31.709
  • Because god hides truths in the bible.
  • 00:16:31.709 --> 00:16:34.745
  • Okay, then the disciples came back,
  • 00:16:34.745 --> 00:16:37.715
  • And they saw jesus refreshed.
  • 00:16:37.715 --> 00:16:39.283
  • And jesus told them, "i have food to eat you do not know of."
  • 00:16:39.283 --> 00:16:41.552
  • Why?
  • 00:16:41.552 --> 00:16:42.887
  • "a sinner came and take from me."
  • 00:16:42.887 --> 00:16:45.256
  • When someone takes from jesus, he's refreshed.
  • 00:16:45.256 --> 00:16:48.226
  • It's the opposite of man.
  • 00:16:48.226 --> 00:16:49.694
  • The more you take from god, the more he's refreshed.
  • 00:16:49.694 --> 00:16:53.397
  • He loves it, amen?
  • 00:16:53.397 --> 00:16:56.667
  • Then the woman went and now let's follow the story
  • 00:16:56.667 --> 00:16:59.270
  • Of that woman, drop down.
  • 00:16:59.270 --> 00:17:00.605
  • "many of the samaritans of that city believed in christ
  • 00:17:00.605 --> 00:17:03.708
  • Because of the word of the woman who testified,
  • 00:17:03.708 --> 00:17:05.877
  • 'he told me all that i ever did.'
  • 00:17:05.877 --> 00:17:07.879
  • So when the samaritans had come to jesus, they urged him to stay
  • 00:17:07.879 --> 00:17:12.016
  • With them; and he stayed there two days."
  • 00:17:12.016 --> 00:17:17.622
  • When the bible mentioned two days,
  • 00:17:17.622 --> 00:17:18.990
  • Nothing is without significance.
  • 00:17:18.990 --> 00:17:20.324
  • There's meaning if you want to go deeper.
  • 00:17:20.324 --> 00:17:21.659
  • All right, now two days with the gentiles.
  • 00:17:21.659 --> 00:17:24.595
  • Go back to what peter said in 2 peter 3, real fast.
  • 00:17:24.595 --> 00:17:27.565
  • "beloved, don't forget this one thing.
  • 00:17:27.565 --> 00:17:29.033
  • With the lord one day is as a thousand years,
  • 00:17:29.033 --> 00:17:31.536
  • And a thousand years as one day."
  • 00:17:31.536 --> 00:17:34.438
  • He stayed with the gentiles, go back again, two days.
  • 00:17:34.438 --> 00:17:39.477
  • Watch this now, 2000 years with the gentiles.
  • 00:17:39.477 --> 00:17:42.713
  • Next verse: "and many more believed
  • 00:17:42.713 --> 00:17:44.582
  • Because of his own word.
  • 00:17:44.582 --> 00:17:45.917
  • They said to the woman,
  • 00:17:45.917 --> 00:17:47.251
  • 'now we believe, not because of what you said.
  • 00:17:47.251 --> 00:17:48.920
  • We ourselves have heard him and we know that this indeed
  • 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.956
  • The christ, the savior of the world.'
  • 00:17:51.956 --> 00:17:53.791
  • Now after the two days he departed from there
  • 00:17:53.791 --> 00:17:58.663
  • And went back to israel, to galilee."
  • 00:17:58.663 --> 00:18:01.999
  • After two days.
  • 00:18:01.999 --> 00:18:04.135
  • Let me bring this to a close. last portion.
  • 00:18:04.135 --> 00:18:06.938
  • Did god hide this story?
  • 00:18:06.938 --> 00:18:08.272
  • Don't forget, jesus told nicodemus as moses lifted up
  • 00:18:08.272 --> 00:18:12.076
  • The serpent in the wilderness--
  • 00:18:12.076 --> 00:18:13.811
  • Let's go to the story, we end, okay?
  • 00:18:13.811 --> 00:18:15.813
  • All right, go to numbers 21. now, everyone say, "numbers 21."
  • 00:18:15.813 --> 00:18:20.318
  • Now say "21" three times.
  • 00:18:20.318 --> 00:18:23.821
  • All right, if anyone asks you, "where was that story that jesus
  • 00:18:23.821 --> 00:18:26.891
  • Told nicodemus as moses lift up the bronze serpent?"
  • 00:18:26.891 --> 00:18:31.329
  • You know the story, right?
  • 00:18:31.329 --> 00:18:32.730
  • The people complained, snakes came and bit them.
  • 00:18:32.730 --> 00:18:35.600
  • They were dying, people of israel.
  • 00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:37.134
  • Then god told moses the solution.
  • 00:18:37.134 --> 00:18:39.337
  • Take a bronze snake, not a real snake,
  • 00:18:39.337 --> 00:18:41.305
  • A bronze snake, all right?
  • 00:18:41.305 --> 00:18:42.640
  • Put it on a cross, even before jesus came.
  • 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.376
  • And god says, "lift it up high!
  • 00:18:45.376 --> 00:18:47.445
  • And everyone who is bitten,
  • 00:18:47.445 --> 00:18:49.347
  • When they look at the bronze snake they will live."
  • 00:18:49.347 --> 00:18:52.049
  • And in john 3 jesus quoted the old testament to nicodemus,
  • 00:18:52.049 --> 00:18:55.886
  • "even as moses lifted the snake, so i must be lifted up," okay?
  • 00:18:55.886 --> 00:19:01.726
  • So this story happened in numbers 21.
  • 00:19:01.726 --> 00:19:03.661
  • See, moses made a pole, "and the children of israel
  • 00:19:03.661 --> 00:19:06.163
  • Moved on and camped in oboth."
  • 00:19:06.163 --> 00:19:08.633
  • And from then on, they journeyed from oboth to abarim,
  • 00:19:08.633 --> 00:19:13.070
  • Towards the sunrise.
  • 00:19:13.070 --> 00:19:14.705
  • This is the first time israel camped.
  • 00:19:14.705 --> 00:19:17.808
  • You know israel was camping at different places
  • 00:19:17.808 --> 00:19:19.844
  • During the 40 years?
  • 00:19:19.844 --> 00:19:21.746
  • In fact, 42 stations during the 40 years.
  • 00:19:21.746 --> 00:19:24.682
  • And this is the first time they turn around
  • 00:19:24.682 --> 00:19:28.386
  • And face the sunrise.
  • 00:19:28.386 --> 00:19:30.621
  • That means the story of the bronze serpent
  • 00:19:30.621 --> 00:19:32.089
  • Happened spiritually at night.
  • 00:19:32.089 --> 00:19:36.527
  • John 3, right? sunrise.
  • 00:19:36.527 --> 00:19:39.563
  • The story of the woman in the well was bright daylight.
  • 00:19:39.563 --> 00:19:43.601
  • Is there a well in numbers 21 as well?
  • 00:19:43.601 --> 00:19:45.403
  • Do you think there's a well?
  • 00:19:45.403 --> 00:19:47.004
  • If there's a bronze serpent,
  • 00:19:47.004 --> 00:19:48.339
  • John 3 is reflected here, hidden.
  • 00:19:48.339 --> 00:19:50.007
  • There must be a well somewhere, isn't it?
  • 00:19:50.007 --> 00:19:51.909
  • Let's drop down, same chapter. "from there they went to beer."
  • 00:19:51.909 --> 00:19:54.912
  • Beer in hebrew means well,
  • 00:19:54.912 --> 00:19:56.247
  • "which is the well where the lord said to moses,
  • 00:19:56.247 --> 00:19:58.916
  • 'gather the people together, and i'll give them water.'
  • 00:19:58.916 --> 00:20:02.286
  • Then israel sang this song: 'spring up, o well!
  • 00:20:02.286 --> 00:20:05.890
  • All of you, sing to it.'"
  • 00:20:05.890 --> 00:20:10.061
  • This well is a person. all in the same chapter.
  • 00:20:10.061 --> 00:20:13.831
  • John 3 was hidden there, john 4 was hidden there.
  • 00:20:13.831 --> 00:20:18.269
  • And the sadness is that moses told the people of israel,
  • 00:20:18.269 --> 00:20:22.740
  • Israel sang the song, spring up, o well.
  • 00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:25.609
  • It was meant for israel to enjoy.
  • 00:20:25.609 --> 00:20:27.845
  • But israel rejected the fullness of grace when he came,
  • 00:20:27.845 --> 00:20:33.050
  • And he did not destroy them.
  • 00:20:33.050 --> 00:20:34.452
  • He just turned back and he go to the gentiles.
  • 00:20:34.452 --> 00:20:37.555
  • And the gentiles enjoyed the well, amen.
  • 00:20:37.555 --> 00:20:45.129
  • I wonder today, how many of you,
  • 00:20:45.129 --> 00:20:46.831
  • You're willing to come to god in your need, in your sin,
  • 00:20:46.831 --> 00:20:52.103
  • And know that he will not be repelled by it.
  • 00:20:52.103 --> 00:20:55.873
  • For this reason he came.
  • 00:20:55.873 --> 00:20:57.842
  • But if you come and say, "no, no, no, no, no, no,
  • 00:20:57.842 --> 00:20:59.744
  • I wasn't worried, i was just concerned.
  • 00:20:59.744 --> 00:21:03.347
  • No, no, no, no, i wasn't angry, i was just affirming my voice.
  • 00:21:03.347 --> 00:21:08.786
  • No, no, no, no, no, you know, i'm not mad at you, you know,
  • 00:21:08.786 --> 00:21:12.156
  • I'm just thinking.
  • 00:21:12.156 --> 00:21:13.958
  • No, no, no, no." we are so defensive, why?
  • 00:21:13.958 --> 00:21:17.495
  • We are defensive people because we have no assurance
  • 00:21:17.495 --> 00:21:20.564
  • That our sins are forgiven.
  • 00:21:20.564 --> 00:21:22.733
  • That's why we are defensive. it's all forgiven.
  • 00:21:22.733 --> 00:21:26.570
  • All your sins are forgiven.
  • 00:21:26.570 --> 00:21:28.038
  • There's no more ledger of debt left, amen.
  • 00:21:28.038 --> 00:21:34.912
  • When you look at it, it's all p-a-i-d, hallelujah.
  • 00:21:34.912 --> 00:21:39.683
  • "but what if i lose my cool tonight, pastor prince?"
  • 00:21:39.683 --> 00:21:41.852
  • It's forgiven.
  • 00:21:41.852 --> 00:21:43.854
  • Now some people think that if you believe this,
  • 00:21:43.854 --> 00:21:46.223
  • You are giving people license to sin,
  • 00:21:46.223 --> 00:21:47.825
  • But jesus said it differently.
  • 00:21:47.825 --> 00:21:49.560
  • Jesus believed that when people know they are forgiven much,
  • 00:21:49.560 --> 00:21:53.497
  • They will love him much.
  • 00:21:53.497 --> 00:21:55.966
  • And that woman became an immediate evangelist
  • 00:21:55.966 --> 00:21:57.835
  • Because she knew she was forgiven much.
  • 00:21:57.835 --> 00:22:03.707
  • If you talk to the lord openly, there's no room for temptation.
  • 00:22:03.707 --> 00:22:08.412
  • And he craves aloneness with you.
  • 00:22:08.412 --> 00:22:13.017
  • Not that you always have to, you know,
  • 00:22:13.017 --> 00:22:14.819
  • Spend time without anyone around.
  • 00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:16.520
  • For a mother, it's kind of hard with young children
  • 00:22:16.520 --> 00:22:18.155
  • And all that.
  • 00:22:18.155 --> 00:22:19.490
  • I understand that, but i'm just saying inwardly just know
  • 00:22:19.490 --> 00:22:22.893
  • That this person will understand you
  • 00:22:22.893 --> 00:22:24.395
