  • And then, john 4:6. so, it started with abraham,
  • 00:03:17.844 --> 00:03:20.580
  • So, it started with abraham, isaac tried to dig new wells
  • 00:03:20.647 --> 00:03:22.982
  • Isaac tried to dig new wells and find water that gives life.
  • 00:03:23.049 --> 00:03:25.718
  • And find water that gives life. he couldn't find it
  • 00:03:25.785 --> 00:03:26.386
  • He couldn't find it out there anywhere,
  • 00:03:26.452 --> 00:03:28.121
  • Out there anywhere, so he returned and re-dug
  • 00:03:28.187 --> 00:03:30.923
  • So he returned and re-dug his father abraham's well.
  • 00:03:30.990 --> 00:03:32.659
  • His father abraham's well. so, that's two generations.
  • 00:03:32.725 --> 00:03:34.127
  • So, that's two generations. abraham has died
  • 00:03:34.193 --> 00:03:36.729
  • Abraham has died and isaac tried new stuff,

  • And isaac tried new stuff, but he came back to that well.
  • 00:03:37.964 --> 00:03:39.732
  • But he came back to that well. and then now we have
  • 00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:40.933
  • And then now we have the third generation abraham,
  • 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:42.769
  • The third generation abraham, isaac, and the same well
  • 00:03:42.835 --> 00:03:44.504
  • Isaac, and the same well is described 1900 years later
  • 00:03:44.570 --> 00:03:48.074
  • Is described 1900 years later when jesus christ showed up,
  • 00:03:48.141 --> 00:03:49.175
  • When jesus christ showed up, god in skin, and went
  • 00:03:49.242 --> 00:03:51.210

  • 00:04:11.798 --> 00:04:12.465
  • Jesus therefore, being wearied from his journey,
  • 00:04:12.532 --> 00:04:13.966
  • Being wearied from his journey, sat by the well.

  • To this eleventh verse. "the woman said to him,
  • 00:04:24.377 --> 00:04:25.378

  • Every time i say that. it is a deep well that
  • 00:04:35.121 --> 00:04:38.491

  • The well is deep. and jesus goes on
  • 00:04:43.963 --> 00:04:44.764
  • And jesus goes on to say in verse 10,
  • 00:04:44.831 --> 00:04:46.232
  • To say in verse 10, "and he answered and said,
  • 00:04:46.299 --> 00:04:47.066
  • "and he answered and said, 'if you knew the gift of god,
  • 00:04:47.133 --> 00:04:48.267
  • 'if you knew the gift of god, and who it is that
  • 00:04:48.334 --> 00:04:49.268
  • And who it is that saith to thee,
  • 00:04:49.335 --> 00:04:51.804
  • Saith to thee, 'give me to drink,
  • 00:04:51.871 --> 00:04:53.239
  • 'give me to drink, you would have asked him
  • 00:04:53.306 --> 00:04:54.507
  • You would have asked him and he would have
  • 00:04:54.574 --> 00:04:55.608
  • And he would have given you living water."
  • 00:04:55.675 --> 00:04:59.078
  • Given you living water." the well is deep.
  • 00:04:59.145 --> 00:05:00.947
  • The well is deep. so, bible --
  • 00:05:01.013 --> 00:05:04.183
  • So, bible -- the bible is full of wells,
  • 00:05:04.250 --> 00:05:07.019
  • The bible is full of wells, and wells were essential,
  • 00:05:07.086 --> 00:05:09.389
  • And wells were essential, wells were necessary
  • 00:05:09.455 --> 00:05:11.257
  • Wells were necessary for survival.
  • 00:05:11.324 --> 00:05:12.158
  • For survival. the livestock depended,
  • 00:05:12.225 --> 00:05:14.127
  • The livestock depended, the crops depended.
  • 00:05:14.193 --> 00:05:15.561
  • The crops depended. if a person could not find
  • 00:05:15.628 --> 00:05:16.662
  • If a person could not find a well in the holy land
  • 00:05:16.729 --> 00:05:18.898
  • A well in the holy land that we call it today,
  • 00:05:18.965 --> 00:05:20.333
  • That we call it today, they would not last long.
  • 00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:21.768
  • They would not last long. it was not just
  • 00:05:21.834 --> 00:05:23.169
  • It was not just something to have,
  • 00:05:23.236 --> 00:05:24.804
  • Something to have, it was an absolute necessity.
  • 00:05:24.871 --> 00:05:28.941
  • It was an absolute necessity. and when isaac split off
  • 00:05:29.008 --> 00:05:32.645
  • And when isaac split off from his father after
  • 00:05:32.712 --> 00:05:34.514
  • From his father after his father died,
  • 00:05:34.580 --> 00:05:35.581
  • His father died, he left a good well
  • 00:05:35.648 --> 00:05:38.785
  • He left a good well and let it get polluted.
  • 00:05:38.851 --> 00:05:41.554
  • And let it get polluted. the philistines came and poured
  • 00:05:41.621 --> 00:05:43.156
  • The philistines came and poured pollution into that well.
  • 00:05:43.222 --> 00:05:46.492
  • Pollution into that well. and he didn't guard it,
  • 00:05:46.559 --> 00:05:48.161
  • And he didn't guard it, he didn't maintain it,
  • 00:05:48.227 --> 00:05:49.128
  • He didn't maintain it, he didn't keep it
  • 00:05:49.195 --> 00:05:50.163
  • He didn't keep it clean and open.
  • 00:05:50.229 --> 00:05:51.998
  • Clean and open. he varies off and he
  • 00:05:52.064 --> 00:05:54.700
  • He varies off and he started digging new wells
  • 00:05:54.767 --> 00:05:56.836
  • Started digging new wells and they did not satisfy.
  • 00:05:56.903 --> 00:06:00.072
  • And they did not satisfy. and he was forced,
  • 00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:00.840
  • And he was forced, listen carefully,
  • 00:06:00.907 --> 00:06:02.074
  • Listen carefully, by circumstances to go back
  • 00:06:02.141 --> 00:06:04.210
  • By circumstances to go back to his father's well
  • 00:06:04.277 --> 00:06:07.580
  • To his father's well and re-dig them.
  • 00:06:07.647 --> 00:06:09.015
  • And re-dig them. sometimes god will force you
  • 00:06:09.081 --> 00:06:10.683
  • Sometimes god will force you to go where you need to go
  • 00:06:10.750 --> 00:06:12.652
  • To go where you need to go and do what you need
  • 00:06:12.718 --> 00:06:13.953
  • And do what you need to do if you don't
  • 00:06:14.020 --> 00:06:15.188
  • To do if you don't go voluntarily.
  • 00:06:15.254 --> 00:06:17.256
  • Go voluntarily. dig your new wells.
  • 00:06:17.323 --> 00:06:19.258
  • Dig your new wells. dig them.
  • 00:06:19.325 --> 00:06:19.759
  • Dig them. and you know what?
  • 00:06:19.826 --> 00:06:20.293
  • And you know what? you're going to come up dry
  • 00:06:20.359 --> 00:06:21.427
  • You're going to come up dry sooner or later.
  • 00:06:21.494 --> 00:06:22.428
  • Sooner or later. they'll satisfy for a moment,
  • 00:06:22.495 --> 00:06:24.130
  • They'll satisfy for a moment, but you're going to come up dry.
  • 00:06:24.197 --> 00:06:25.932
  • But you're going to come up dry. and when you want to get your
  • 00:06:25.998 --> 00:06:26.966
  • And when you want to get your life back together,
  • 00:06:27.033 --> 00:06:28.201
  • Life back together, come back to the original well.
  • 00:06:28.267 --> 00:06:31.337
  • Come back to the original well. and he came back and he started
  • 00:06:31.404 --> 00:06:33.473
  • And he came back and he started re-digging the well
  • 00:06:33.539 --> 00:06:35.975
  • Re-digging the well that was already there.
  • 00:06:36.042 --> 00:06:37.276
  • That was already there. but we preach the same
  • 00:06:37.343 --> 00:06:39.912
  • But we preach the same from the same well
  • 00:06:39.979 --> 00:06:40.847
  • From the same well of the book of acts.
  • 00:06:40.913 --> 00:06:42.548
  • Of the book of acts. we believe that whosoever
  • 00:06:42.615 --> 00:06:44.617
  • We believe that whosoever shall call upon the name
  • 00:06:44.684 --> 00:06:45.952
  • Shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved.
  • 00:06:46.018 --> 00:06:46.986
  • Of the lord shall be saved. he doesn't just save,
  • 00:06:47.053 --> 00:06:47.854
  • He doesn't just save, he fills with the holy ghost.
  • 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.922
  • He fills with the holy ghost. he doesn't just fill
  • 00:06:49.989 --> 00:06:50.556
  • He doesn't just fill with the holy ghost,
  • 00:06:50.623 --> 00:06:51.457
  • With the holy ghost, but it's a deep well.
  • 00:06:51.524 --> 00:06:53.226
  • But it's a deep well. it's a well so deep that
  • 00:06:53.292 --> 00:06:55.261
  • It's a well so deep that you don't have to stop
  • 00:06:55.328 --> 00:06:56.195
  • You don't have to stop by just getting --
  • 00:06:56.262 --> 00:06:57.063
  • By just getting -- walking down and getting saved.
  • 00:06:57.129 --> 00:06:58.598
  • Walking down and getting saved. and i'm not putting --
  • 00:06:58.664 --> 00:06:59.465
  • And i'm not putting -- that's not a minor thing,
  • 00:06:59.532 --> 00:07:01.000
  • That's not a minor thing, but when you really get saved,
  • 00:07:01.067 --> 00:07:02.869
  • But when you really get saved, it's an unending well,
  • 00:07:02.935 --> 00:07:06.672
  • It's an unending well, a boundless well.
  • 00:07:06.739 --> 00:07:07.240
  • A boundless well. it never stops.
  • 00:07:07.306 --> 00:07:09.041
  • It never stops. and it's up to you.
  • 00:07:09.108 --> 00:07:10.109
  • And it's up to you. if you hunger and thirst,
  • 00:07:10.176 --> 00:07:11.344
  • If you hunger and thirst, you can go deeper and deeper.
  • 00:07:11.410 --> 00:07:12.745
  • You can go deeper and deeper. some of you need
  • 00:07:12.812 --> 00:07:13.679
  • Some of you need to get your floaties off.
  • 00:07:13.746 --> 00:07:14.947
  • To get your floaties off. you've been in the shallow pool
  • 00:07:15.014 --> 00:07:16.549
  • You've been in the shallow pool playing around with --
  • 00:07:16.616 --> 00:07:17.650
  • Playing around with -- you big, old, grown adult
  • 00:07:17.717 --> 00:07:19.218
  • You big, old, grown adult and you still haven't grown
  • 00:07:19.285 --> 00:07:20.386
  • And you still haven't grown three inches in jesus.
  • 00:07:20.453 --> 00:07:22.522
  • Three inches in jesus. come on, somebody.
  • 00:07:22.588 --> 00:07:24.524
  • Come on, somebody. at some point, jesus says,
  • 00:07:24.590 --> 00:07:25.858
  • At some point, jesus says, "launch out into the deep."
  • 00:07:25.925 --> 00:07:27.460
  • "launch out into the deep." you've been stuck over there
  • 00:07:27.527 --> 00:07:28.728
  • You've been stuck over there in that religious rut,
  • 00:07:28.794 --> 00:07:30.830
  • In that religious rut, and i want you to re-dig
  • 00:07:30.897 --> 00:07:32.331
  • And i want you to re-dig the wells of revival
  • 00:07:32.398 --> 00:07:34.267
  • The wells of revival and prayer and joy
  • 00:07:34.333 --> 00:07:36.769
  • And prayer and joy and the holy spirit and the
  • 00:07:36.836 --> 00:07:38.504
  • And the holy spirit and the baptism in the holy ghost.
  • 00:07:38.571 --> 00:07:40.172
  • Baptism in the holy ghost. re-dig those wells of revival
  • 00:07:40.239 --> 00:07:42.475
  • Re-dig those wells of revival for your family,
  • 00:07:42.542 --> 00:07:44.343
  • For your family, 'cause it's not just about you.
  • 00:07:44.410 --> 00:07:47.880
  • 'cause it's not just about you. if you go dry,
  • 00:07:47.947 --> 00:07:48.981
  • If you go dry, the family goes dry.
  • 00:07:49.048 --> 00:07:52.852
  • The family goes dry. the holy spirit's well
  • 00:07:52.919 --> 00:07:54.587
  • The holy spirit's well is limitless and deep.
  • 00:07:54.654 --> 00:07:57.557
  • Is limitless and deep. the baptism in the holy spirit
  • 00:07:57.623 --> 00:07:59.692
  • The baptism in the holy spirit is a deep well
  • 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:00.593
  • Is a deep well that's not ankle deep,
  • 00:08:00.660 --> 00:08:01.994
  • That's not ankle deep, knee deep, waist deep.
  • 00:08:02.061 --> 00:08:03.563
  • Knee deep, waist deep. it's water to swim in.
  • 00:08:03.629 --> 00:08:05.665
  • It's water to swim in. it'll satisfy you.
  • 00:08:05.731 --> 00:08:07.667
  • It'll satisfy you. i tell you, jesus said,
  • 00:08:07.733 --> 00:08:09.068
  • I tell you, jesus said, "if you drink of this well,
  • 00:08:09.135 --> 00:08:11.037
  • "if you drink of this well, you'll never thirst again."
  • 00:08:11.103 --> 00:08:12.939
  • You'll never thirst again." what does that mean?
  • 00:08:13.005 --> 00:08:14.307
  • What does that mean? that means nothing the world
  • 00:08:14.373 --> 00:08:16.275
  • That means nothing the world has that i gave up when
  • 00:08:16.342 --> 00:08:18.010
  • Has that i gave up when i came out of the world,
  • 00:08:18.077 --> 00:08:19.779
  • I came out of the world, it does not have
  • 00:08:19.845 --> 00:08:22.515
  • It does not have a hold on me anymore.
  • 00:08:22.582 --> 00:08:23.349
  • A hold on me anymore. i can truthfully say
  • 00:08:23.416 --> 00:08:25.451
  • I can truthfully say i'm not up here thinking,
  • 00:08:25.518 --> 00:08:27.320
  • I'm not up here thinking, "man, i can't wait
  • 00:08:27.386 --> 00:08:28.321
  • "man, i can't wait to get out of this church
  • 00:08:28.387 --> 00:08:29.221
  • To get out of this church so i can go get drunk
  • 00:08:29.288 --> 00:08:30.222
  • So i can go get drunk and get high and so i can
  • 00:08:30.289 --> 00:08:32.291
  • And get high and so i can cheat on my wife."
  • 00:08:32.358 --> 00:08:35.561
  • Cheat on my wife." there is nothing in me
  • 00:08:35.628 --> 00:08:37.129
  • There is nothing in me that wants any of that because
  • 00:08:37.196 --> 00:08:39.732
  • That wants any of that because i am drinking from something
  • 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.468
  • I am drinking from something that does not leave me thirsty.
  • 00:08:42.535 --> 00:08:45.438
  • That does not leave me thirsty. that's the problem some
  • 00:08:45.504 --> 00:08:46.505
  • That's the problem some of you have.
  • 00:08:46.572 --> 00:08:47.506
  • Of you have. you got that thirsty look.
  • 00:08:47.573 --> 00:08:49.742
  • You got that thirsty look. but when you drink
  • 00:08:49.809 --> 00:08:50.843
  • But when you drink of the living water,
  • 00:08:50.910 --> 00:08:52.545
  • Of the living water, it satisfies your soul.
  • 00:08:52.612 --> 00:08:55.581
  • It satisfies your soul. hallelujah.
  • 00:08:55.648 --> 00:08:56.515
  • Hallelujah. i'm saved and i'm satisfied.
  • 00:08:56.582 --> 00:08:59.418
  • I'm saved and i'm satisfied. i don't need
  • 00:08:59.485 --> 00:09:00.353
  • I don't need anything else but jesus.
  • 00:09:00.419 --> 00:09:02.455
  • Anything else but jesus. i appreciate his blessings,
  • 00:09:02.521 --> 00:09:04.290
  • I appreciate his blessings, but just the fact
  • 00:09:04.357 --> 00:09:05.491
  • But just the fact that i have eternal life
  • 00:09:05.558 --> 00:09:07.126
  • That i have eternal life and i'm drinking from the well,
  • 00:09:07.193 --> 00:09:08.928
  • And i'm drinking from the well, i'll be alright.
  • 00:09:08.995 --> 00:09:10.062
  • I'll be alright. i might go through some things,
  • 00:09:10.129 --> 00:09:11.864
  • I might go through some things, but i'll be alright.
  • 00:09:11.931 --> 00:09:15.001
  • But i'll be alright. so, they had to take care
  • 00:09:15.067 --> 00:09:15.968
  • So, they had to take care of the generational well.
  • 00:09:16.035 --> 00:09:17.803
  • Of the generational well. and when jesus showed up,
  • 00:09:17.870 --> 00:09:19.305
  • And when jesus showed up, it had been maintained and it
  • 00:09:19.372 --> 00:09:21.607
  • It had been maintained and it had been preserved.
  • 00:09:21.674 --> 00:09:23.509
  • Had been preserved. it was purposeful.
  • 00:09:23.576 --> 00:09:25.144
  • It was purposeful. it was a generational well
  • 00:09:25.211 --> 00:09:26.545
  • It was a generational well from generation to generation,
  • 00:09:26.612 --> 00:09:29.081
  • From generation to generation, 1,900 years and it was
  • 00:09:29.148 --> 00:09:31.684
  • 1,900 years and it was still flowing.
  • 00:09:31.751 --> 00:09:34.153
  • Still flowing. today, that well is almost
  • 00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:36.389
  • Today, that well is almost 4,000 years old and it's still
  • 00:09:36.455 --> 00:09:40.192
  • 4,000 years old and it's still in the holy land and they
  • 00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:42.862
  • In the holy land and they take you to it when
  • 00:09:42.928 --> 00:09:44.630
  • Take you to it when you go on a tour if you
  • 00:09:44.697 --> 00:09:45.931
  • You go on a tour if you want to go.
  • 00:09:45.998 --> 00:09:47.500
  • Want to go. and it is absolutely,
  • 00:09:47.566 --> 00:09:48.934
  • And it is absolutely, historically, no question,
  • 00:09:49.001 --> 00:09:51.270
  • Historically, no question, it is the well of abraham
  • 00:09:51.337 --> 00:09:53.372
  • It is the well of abraham from isaac to jacob.
  • 00:09:53.439 --> 00:09:55.408
  • From isaac to jacob. but now they build
  • 00:09:55.474 --> 00:09:56.342
  • But now they build a greek orthodox synagogue
  • 00:09:56.409 --> 00:09:58.944
  • A greek orthodox synagogue church over it.
  • 00:09:59.011 --> 00:10:01.013
  • Church over it. and i can't help but
  • 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.816
  • And i can't help but see the symbolism in that.
  • 00:10:03.883 --> 00:10:06.085
  • See the symbolism in that. we've replaced living water
  • 00:10:06.152 --> 00:10:07.553
  • We've replaced living water with ritual worship.
  • 00:10:07.620 --> 00:10:09.121
  • With ritual worship. and i'm not putting down
  • 00:10:09.188 --> 00:10:10.723
  • And i'm not putting down somebody's religion.
  • 00:10:10.790 --> 00:10:12.391
  • Somebody's religion. there's a return to orthodoxy.
  • 00:10:12.458 --> 00:10:14.260
  • There's a return to orthodoxy. people are wanting return.
  • 00:10:14.326 --> 00:10:16.395
  • People are wanting return. that's why i started doing
  • 00:10:16.462 --> 00:10:17.363
  • Communion a long time ago.
  • 00:10:17.463 --> 00:10:20.800
  • Communion a long time ago. the lord said, "why do you just
  • 00:10:20.866 --> 00:10:21.867
  • The lord said, "why do you just do that once a month?"
  • 00:10:21.934 --> 00:10:23.002
  • Do that once a month?" and i said, "well, that's kind
  • 00:10:23.069 --> 00:10:23.803
  • And i said, "well, that's kind of the tradition."
  • 00:10:23.869 --> 00:10:24.737
  • Of the tradition." he said, "forget the tradition
  • 00:10:24.804 --> 00:10:26.305
  • He said, "forget the tradition and get the heels out
  • 00:10:26.372 --> 00:10:29.241
  • And get the heels out and let me do a work."
  • 00:10:29.308 --> 00:10:30.309
  • And let me do a work." that's why we pray
  • 00:10:30.376 --> 00:10:31.644
  • That's why we pray the lord's prayer.
  • 00:10:31.711 --> 00:10:33.279
  • The lord's prayer. that's why we still --

  • And there'll be a mark of the beast
  • 00:11:19.925 --> 00:11:21.293
  • A mark of the beast waiting on you and you can't

  • David got so weary from battling the philistines,
  • 00:11:32.838 --> 00:11:34.640
  • From battling the philistines, and they had taken over
  • 00:11:34.707 --> 00:11:35.708
  • And they had taken over his hometown called bethlehem,
  • 00:11:35.775 --> 00:11:38.511
  • His hometown called bethlehem, where another great person
  • 00:11:38.577 --> 00:11:40.412
  • Where another great person would be born besides
  • 00:11:40.479 --> 00:11:41.580
  • Would be born besides king david and that
  • 00:11:41.647 --> 00:11:42.748
  • King david and that would be king jesus.
  • 00:11:42.815 --> 00:11:44.884
  • Would be king jesus. but he cried out one day,
  • 00:11:44.950 --> 00:11:46.919
  • But he cried out one day, "oh," in 2 samuel 23:15.
  • 00:11:46.986 --> 00:11:51.023
  • "oh," in 2 samuel 23:15. he said, "oh, that somebody
  • 00:11:51.090 --> 00:11:54.293
  • He said, "oh, that somebody would give me a drink
  • 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.194
  • Would give me a drink from the well of bethlehem
  • 00:11:55.261 --> 00:11:56.762
  • From the well of bethlehem which is by the gate."
  • 00:11:56.829 --> 00:11:58.164
  • Which is by the gate." he knew exactly where it was.
  • 00:11:58.230 --> 00:11:59.932
  • He knew exactly where it was. and he sent three of his
  • 00:11:59.999 --> 00:12:00.966
  • And he sent three of his mightiest men and they rushed
  • 00:12:01.033 --> 00:12:02.535
  • Mightiest men and they rushed through the troops of the
  • 00:12:02.601 --> 00:12:03.903
  • Through the troops of the philistines for a cup of water
  • 00:12:03.969 --> 00:12:06.005
  • Philistines for a cup of water and got a cup of water
  • 00:12:06.071 --> 00:12:07.173
  • And got a cup of water and brought it back.
  • 00:12:07.239 --> 00:12:08.040
  • And brought it back. and this is what
  • 00:12:08.107 --> 00:12:08.908
  • And this is what i want you to see
  • 00:12:08.974 --> 00:12:09.675
  • I want you to see and then i'm gonna move on.
  • 00:12:09.742 --> 00:12:10.876
  • And then i'm gonna move on. but i want you to hear this.
  • 00:12:10.943 --> 00:12:13.245
  • But i want you to hear this. david held that cup up
  • 00:12:13.312 --> 00:12:14.880
  • David held that cup up and he was so moved
  • 00:12:14.947 --> 00:12:16.582
  • And he was so moved and emotional about it
  • 00:12:16.649 --> 00:12:17.583
  • And emotional about it that he said,
  • 00:12:17.650 --> 00:12:18.384
  • That he said, "i can't drink this
  • 00:12:18.450 --> 00:12:19.418
  • "i can't drink this because when i think
  • 00:12:19.485 --> 00:12:20.486
  • Because when i think of what this well has cost
  • 00:12:20.553 --> 00:12:23.889
  • Of what this well has cost to preserve it from generation
  • 00:12:23.956 --> 00:12:25.324
  • To preserve it from generation to generation so that
  • 00:12:25.391 --> 00:12:26.525
  • To generation so that i could drink from it,"
  • 00:12:26.592 --> 00:12:28.194
  • I could drink from it," he said these words,
  • 00:12:28.260 --> 00:12:29.428
  • He said these words, "is it not this the blood of men
  • 00:12:29.495 --> 00:12:34.567
  • "is it not this the blood of men that gave up their lives?"
  • 00:12:34.633 --> 00:12:37.837
  • That gave up their lives?" he said the only reason there's
  • 00:12:37.903 --> 00:12:39.305
  • He said the only reason there's a well there is there were men
  • 00:12:39.371 --> 00:12:42.541
  • A well there is there were men who fought and defended
  • 00:12:42.608 --> 00:12:44.443
  • Who fought and defended that well and they
  • 00:12:44.510 --> 00:12:46.512
  • That well and they gave up their lives,
  • 00:12:46.579 --> 00:12:47.546
  • Gave up their lives, they gave up their resources,
  • 00:12:47.613 --> 00:12:50.649
  • They gave up their resources, they gave up
  • 00:12:50.716 --> 00:12:51.951
  • They gave up everything they had.
  • 00:12:52.017 --> 00:12:53.352
  • Everything they had. and when i thought about that,
  • 00:12:53.419 --> 00:12:54.486
  • And when i thought about that, i couldn't help but think about
  • 00:12:54.553 --> 00:12:56.255
  • I couldn't help but think about the fact that free chapel
  • 00:12:56.322 --> 00:12:59.859
  • The fact that free chapel is a well that wasn't
  • 00:12:59.925 --> 00:13:01.227
  • Is a well that wasn't just dug a day ago.
  • 00:13:01.293 --> 00:13:04.697
  • Just dug a day ago. if jacob had to re-dig those
  • 00:13:04.763 --> 00:13:06.832
  • If jacob had to re-dig those wells for the next generation,
  • 00:13:06.899 --> 00:13:10.336
  • Wells for the next generation, if he didn't,
  • 00:13:10.402 --> 00:13:11.604
  • If he didn't, the next generation
  • 00:13:11.670 --> 00:13:13.038
  • The next generation would pay the price.
  • 00:13:13.105 --> 00:13:14.273
  • Would pay the price. and he understood that.
  • 00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:16.308
  • And he understood that. and when i think about
  • 00:13:16.375 --> 00:13:17.042
  • And when i think about the fact that every church
  • 00:13:17.109 --> 00:13:19.445
  • The fact that every church has spiritual wells that
  • 00:13:19.511 --> 00:13:21.947
  • Has spiritual wells that go back to its original
  • 00:13:22.014 --> 00:13:24.283
  • Go back to its original source and foundation.
  • 00:13:24.350 --> 00:13:26.051
  • Source and foundation. some pastor, somebody,
  • 00:13:26.118 --> 00:13:29.021
  • Some pastor, somebody, some evangelist,
  • 00:13:29.088 --> 00:13:30.623
  • Some evangelist, some prayer warrior
  • 00:13:30.689 --> 00:13:32.791
  • Some prayer warrior in their kitchen or somewhere
  • 00:13:32.858 --> 00:13:34.526
  • In their kitchen or somewhere started digging a well
  • 00:13:34.593 --> 00:13:36.595
  • Started digging a well in the city.
  • 00:13:36.662 --> 00:13:37.663
  • In the city. and that's exactly
  • 00:13:37.730 --> 00:13:38.864
  • And that's exactly the story of free chapel.
  • 00:13:38.931 --> 00:13:40.366
  • The story of free chapel. we're not
  • 00:13:40.432 --> 00:13:40.966
  • We're not a fly-by-night ministry.
  • 00:13:41.033 --> 00:13:43.802
  • A fly-by-night ministry. it's not popular.
  • 00:13:43.869 --> 00:13:44.937
  • It's not popular. we never started out
  • 00:13:45.004 --> 00:13:46.071
  • We never started out to be a mega church.
  • 00:13:46.138 --> 00:13:48.040
  • To be a mega church. we don't see ourselves
  • 00:13:48.107 --> 00:13:49.341
  • We don't see ourselves as a mega church.
  • 00:13:49.408 --> 00:13:50.643
  • As a mega church. we see ourselves as
  • 00:13:50.709 --> 00:13:52.278
  • We see ourselves as a well and it's deep.
  • 00:13:52.344 --> 00:13:55.347
  • A well and it's deep. and it's deep enough that
  • 00:13:55.414 --> 00:13:56.982
  • And it's deep enough that the more people come,
  • 00:13:57.049 --> 00:13:58.384
  • The more people come, the more we can serve.
  • 00:13:58.450 --> 00:13:59.551
  • The more we can serve. hallelujah.
  • 00:13:59.618 --> 00:14:00.686
  • Hallelujah. we don't run out.
  • 00:14:00.753 --> 00:14:01.854
  • We don't run out. we got plenty of communion
  • 00:14:01.921 --> 00:14:03.689
  • We got plenty of communion and plenty of wine and plenty
  • 00:14:03.756 --> 00:14:05.958
  • And plenty of wine and plenty of bread and plenty of jesus.
  • 00:14:06.025 --> 00:14:09.028
  • Of bread and plenty of jesus. and jesus is the answer.
  • 00:14:09.094 --> 00:14:12.431
  • And jesus is the answer. hallelujah.
  • 00:14:12.498 --> 00:14:13.699
  • I thought about the old well,
  • 00:14:14.300 --> 00:14:15.534
  • I thought about the old well, katie franklin.
  • 00:14:15.601 --> 00:14:17.369
  • Katie franklin. there she sits,
  • 00:14:17.436 --> 00:14:18.971
  • There she sits, ancient of days.
  • 00:14:19.038 --> 00:14:20.105
  • Ancient of days. amen.
  • 00:14:20.172 --> 00:14:22.441
  • Amen. raise your hand, mom.
  • 00:14:22.508 --> 00:14:25.044
  • Raise your hand, mom. that's the well right there.
  • 00:14:25.110 --> 00:14:26.078
  • That's the well right there. that's my well.

  • That's my well. hallelujah.
  • 00:14:27.112 --> 00:14:28.047
  • Hallelujah. oh, thank you, jesus.
  • 00:14:28.113 --> 00:14:30.015
  • Oh, thank you, jesus. she's still praying.
  • 00:14:30.082 --> 00:14:31.417
  • She's still praying. she's still handing out water.
  • 00:14:31.483 --> 00:14:34.086
  • She's still handing out water. glory to god.
  • 00:14:34.153 --> 00:14:35.254
  • Glory to god. and when you get in this water,
  • 00:14:35.321 --> 00:14:38.057
  • And when you get in this water, i want you to know
  • 00:14:38.123 --> 00:14:39.992
  • I want you to know that you are saying,
  • 00:14:40.059 --> 00:14:41.660
  • That you are saying, "i am starting a well."
  • 00:14:41.727 --> 00:14:44.396
  • "i am starting a well." jesus said, "this will be
  • 00:14:44.463 --> 00:14:48.300
  • Jesus said, "this will be a well of living water."
  • 00:14:48.367 --> 00:14:49.969
  • A well of living water." and what this water represents
  • 00:14:50.035 --> 00:14:52.338
  • And what this water represents is when they go down,
  • 00:14:52.404 --> 00:14:53.872
  • Is when they go down, romans 6 said they're
  • 00:14:53.939 --> 00:14:55.040
  • Romans 6 said they're buried with christ.
  • 00:14:55.107 --> 00:14:56.909
  • Buried with christ. and when they come up,
