  • 00:00:08.324 --> 00:00:17.267
  • Hey, family, it's pastor tim timberlake,
  • 00:00:17.267 --> 00:00:19.235
  • A celebration church right here in jacksonville, florida.
  • 00:00:19.235 --> 00:00:22.372
  • And i'm so grateful we get this opportunity
  • 00:00:22.372 --> 00:00:24.374
  • To share this moment in time together around the word of god.
  • 00:00:24.374 --> 00:00:27.911
  • I want us to go to john chapter
  • 00:00:27.911 --> 00:00:29.245
  • Four today as we find our message.
  • 00:00:29.245 --> 00:00:31.247
  • Leave it at the well.
  • 00:00:31.247 --> 00:00:34.350
  • Jesus crossed these scandalous barriers
  • 00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:38.388
  • And has a conversation with the samaritan woman
  • 00:00:38.388 --> 00:00:41.624
  • Demonstrating to us that racial,
  • 00:00:41.624 --> 00:00:45.195
  • Equality, gender, religion,
  • 00:00:45.195 --> 00:00:47.897
  • Moral lines are not confining lines to jesus.
  • 00:00:47.897 --> 00:00:51.468
  • Jesus has the ability, the power and the wisdom to cross
  • 00:00:51.468 --> 00:00:55.772
  • All of these limitations that we say that he should not.
  • 00:00:55.772 --> 00:01:00.043
  • And oftentimes, we have this narrative
  • 00:01:00.043 --> 00:01:03.179
  • That jesus hung with sinners and jesus set with sinners.
  • 00:01:03.179 --> 00:01:07.283
  • And i would argue that sinners hung with jesus and sinners
  • 00:01:07.283 --> 00:01:11.354
  • Set with jesus.
  • 00:01:11.354 --> 00:01:12.489
  • And so jesus was very intentional
  • 00:01:12.489 --> 00:01:14.657
  • With his time
  • 00:01:14.657 --> 00:01:15.625
  • Because he understood that his time
  • 00:01:15.625 --> 00:01:17.794
  • Here on earth would be short.
  • 00:01:17.794 --> 00:01:19.395
  • So the way that he delegated and steward his time was
  • 00:01:19.395 --> 00:01:23.066
  • By priority of what god wanted to do here in the earth.
  • 00:01:23.066 --> 00:01:27.137
  • So when we read this passage in john chapter four,
  • 00:01:27.137 --> 00:01:29.906
  • This is not just jesus stopping by.
  • 00:01:29.906 --> 00:01:32.442
  • This is not just jesus dropping by.
  • 00:01:32.442 --> 00:01:34.577
  • This is jesus going out of his way for us to view in the text.
  • 00:01:34.577 --> 00:01:38.414
  • He's trying to prove a point.
  • 00:01:38.414 --> 00:01:41.217
  • He's trying to demonstrate to us that there is nothing
  • 00:01:41.217 --> 00:01:44.521
  • And no one too far out of my reach.
  • 00:01:44.521 --> 00:01:47.991
  • He desires for us to know that our past does not
  • 00:01:47.991 --> 00:01:51.194
  • Disqualify us from our future.
  • 00:01:51.194 --> 00:01:53.296
  • He desires for us to know
  • 00:01:53.296 --> 00:01:54.764
  • That we are not the things that we have done,
  • 00:01:54.764 --> 00:01:57.267
  • And he does not avoid what we have done,
  • 00:01:57.267 --> 00:01:59.702
  • But he always calls us higher so that we could see our dire
  • 00:01:59.702 --> 00:02:03.373
  • Need for him in today and in our tomorrow.
  • 00:02:03.373 --> 00:02:06.676
  • So he sits down
  • 00:02:06.676 --> 00:02:08.111
  • With the samaritan woman and he has a conversation with her.
  • 00:02:08.111 --> 00:02:11.214
  • He doesn't give her religious rhetoric.
  • 00:02:11.214 --> 00:02:13.049
  • He doesn't tell her all of the law.
  • 00:02:13.049 --> 00:02:15.051
  • He doesn't break down all of the things that she's done.
  • 00:02:15.051 --> 00:02:17.887
  • He does identify something in her life, however,
  • 00:02:17.887 --> 00:02:21.457
  • To allow her to know
  • 00:02:21.457 --> 00:02:22.992
  • He is not merely just another rabbi or a prophet.
  • 00:02:22.992 --> 00:02:26.896
  • He is much greater than that.
  • 00:02:26.896 --> 00:02:28.498
  • He is the messiah.
  • 00:02:28.498 --> 00:02:29.899
  • So he begins to detail
  • 00:02:29.899 --> 00:02:31.534
  • Things in her life that no one else would know but her.
  • 00:02:31.534 --> 00:02:34.404
  • And so he tells her, go get your husband.
  • 00:02:34.404 --> 00:02:36.839
  • And she says, well, i'm not married. he says, i know.
  • 00:02:36.839 --> 00:02:40.710
  • Have you ever found it that when god is talking to you,
  • 00:02:41.744 --> 00:02:44.914
  • He'll ask you a question and it confuses you
  • 00:02:44.914 --> 00:02:47.483
  • Because you think he actually wants to know the answer?
  • 00:02:47.483 --> 00:02:51.287
  • He doesn't want to know the answer.
  • 00:02:52.055 --> 00:02:53.723
  • He is the answer.
  • 00:02:53.723 --> 00:02:54.958
  • He just wants you to identify that the answer
  • 00:02:54.958 --> 00:02:57.493
  • And the conclusion you have come to is wrong.
  • 00:02:57.493 --> 00:02:59.996
  • If it's separate from him.
  • 00:02:59.996 --> 00:03:03.766
  • He tells her
  • 00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:06.102
  • You've been married five times.
  • 00:03:06.102 --> 00:03:07.270
  • Girl.
  • 00:03:07.270 --> 00:03:09.372
  • And the one you with now
  • 00:03:09.372 --> 00:03:11.174
  • He ain't the right one.
  • 00:03:11.174 --> 00:03:14.844
  • And she says you must be a prophet.
  • 00:03:14.844 --> 00:03:18.181
  • He says, woman, if you only knew who you were talking to,
  • 00:03:18.181 --> 00:03:20.183
  • You would know that i'm far greater than a prophet.
  • 00:03:20.183 --> 00:03:24.020
  • I am he,
  • 00:03:24.287 --> 00:03:26.623
  • I am him.
  • 00:03:26.623 --> 00:03:28.558
  • I am the one who was the one who is, and the one who
  • 00:03:28.558 --> 00:03:31.394
  • Is to come.
  • 00:03:31.394 --> 00:03:32.762
  • I am what you need, and you
  • 00:03:33.363 --> 00:03:34.731
  • Will never find fulfillment in this
  • 00:03:34.731 --> 00:03:36.633
  • Well,
  • 00:03:36.633 --> 00:03:38.668
  • Because you'll only find fulfillment in me.
  • 00:03:38.668 --> 00:03:41.571
  • And if you take notes, and i encourage you to,
  • 00:03:41.571 --> 00:03:45.808
  • The first point that we'll cover today is this way
  • 00:03:46.809 --> 00:03:50.013
  • Temporary fixes will never heal
  • 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.217
  • Eternal thirst.
  • 00:03:54.617 --> 00:03:58.221
  • Jesus meets the woman at the well,
  • 00:03:58.988 --> 00:04:02.258
  • But what he offers is not water.
  • 00:04:02.258 --> 00:04:05.828
  • What he offers, it's wholeness.
  • 00:04:05.828 --> 00:04:10.333
  • Temporary fixes will never heal.
  • 00:04:10.967 --> 00:04:14.203
  • Eternal thirst.
  • 00:04:14.203 --> 00:04:16.706
  • And there's some of us that have been looking for
  • 00:04:16.706 --> 00:04:19.275
  • Eternity in what is temporal.
  • 00:04:19.275 --> 00:04:22.912
  • And so we try to find our identity in relationships.
  • 00:04:22.912 --> 00:04:25.381
  • God never intended for us to be in.
  • 00:04:25.381 --> 00:04:28.217
  • You all so quiet right now.
  • 00:04:28.217 --> 00:04:31.888
  • We try to find our identity in jobs,
  • 00:04:31.888 --> 00:04:33.990
  • And we try to find our identity in social media.
  • 00:04:33.990 --> 00:04:36.225
  • We try to find our identity
  • 00:04:36.225 --> 00:04:37.894
  • In the various things, and the only way
  • 00:04:37.894 --> 00:04:39.796
  • You will discover who you actually are
  • 00:04:39.796 --> 00:04:41.798
  • Is if you find your identity in jesus christ.
  • 00:04:41.798 --> 00:04:44.367
  • And so temporary fixes will never heal eternal things.
  • 00:04:44.367 --> 00:04:48.805
  • And the reason you find yourself empty right now
  • 00:04:48.805 --> 00:04:53.076
  • Is because you've been trying
  • 00:04:53.076 --> 00:04:54.310
  • To fill yourself with temporal things
  • 00:04:54.310 --> 00:04:57.246
  • Instead of the true and living savior.
  • 00:04:57.246 --> 00:05:04.153
  • Never find
  • 00:05:04.454 --> 00:05:06.656
  • Your god given spouse
  • 00:05:06.656 --> 00:05:09.125
  • By posting thirst traps.
  • 00:05:09.125 --> 00:05:18.034
  • Y'all nervous
  • 00:05:18.401 --> 00:05:19.168
  • Clapping and it's okay.
  • 00:05:19.168 --> 00:05:23.573
  • Because you've been told
  • 00:05:24.107 --> 00:05:25.208
  • You have to present yourself a certain kind of way
  • 00:05:25.208 --> 00:05:27.143
  • To attract the person that you want to.
  • 00:05:27.143 --> 00:05:29.178
  • And i'm just telling you,
  • 00:05:29.178 --> 00:05:30.113
  • You will never find eternal fulfillment
  • 00:05:30.113 --> 00:05:33.783
  • And temporary fixes.
  • 00:05:34.250 --> 00:05:37.954
  • Hear me
  • 00:05:38.187 --> 00:05:40.623
  • Family.
  • 00:05:40.623 --> 00:05:42.692
  • She found herself sitting at the well,
  • 00:05:42.692 --> 00:05:46.095
  • But the true and living savior
  • 00:05:46.095 --> 00:05:48.731
  • Asking the right questions
  • 00:05:48.731 --> 00:05:51.434
  • And the right season.
  • 00:05:51.434 --> 00:05:53.469
  • And jesus provided the right answers.
  • 00:05:53.469 --> 00:05:56.506
  • When i read this text,
  • 00:05:56.973 --> 00:05:59.008
  • And when i see jesus identify
  • 00:05:59.008 --> 00:06:01.811
  • An area in her life
  • 00:06:01.811 --> 00:06:04.714
  • That could have brought shame.
  • 00:06:04.714 --> 00:06:07.350
  • Jesus demonstrates and models for us
  • 00:06:07.350 --> 00:06:10.987
  • What correction with love looks like.
  • 00:06:10.987 --> 00:06:14.590
  • He doesn't condemn.
  • 00:06:15.057 --> 00:06:16.092
  • He doesn't call out, i know you folks husband.
  • 00:06:16.092 --> 00:06:18.060
  • I know jerry, you know.
  • 00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:23.032
  • Jerry was a wild boy, wasn't he?
  • 00:06:23.666 --> 00:06:25.067
  • Yeah, i know, i know.
  • 00:06:25.067 --> 00:06:28.070
  • Lionel was second.
  • 00:06:28.070 --> 00:06:31.908
  • He doesn't go down
  • 00:06:32.341 --> 00:06:33.075
  • The list of her past.
  • 00:06:33.075 --> 00:06:36.279
  • He gives her enough information to allow her to know
  • 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.615
  • She's not just talking to any other man.
  • 00:06:39.615 --> 00:06:42.852
  • Is it possible the reason gave her
  • 00:06:43.586 --> 00:06:46.222
  • This information is to allow her to know that
  • 00:06:46.222 --> 00:06:50.693
  • What she had been looking for in affirmation from other men
  • 00:06:50.693 --> 00:06:54.630
  • In the six previous relationships that she was in,
  • 00:06:55.631 --> 00:06:59.702
  • That she could only find in one man,
  • 00:07:00.503 --> 00:07:03.739
  • And this one man,
  • 00:07:04.173 --> 00:07:06.275
  • Knowing her history with six other men,
  • 00:07:06.275 --> 00:07:10.213
  • Did not shame her, but called out of her.
  • 00:07:10.213 --> 00:07:13.249
  • The queen that she was, because he understood
  • 00:07:13.249 --> 00:07:17.386
  • Who i talk to will respond,
  • 00:07:17.386 --> 00:07:26.162
  • If i talk to her like she is a daughter of god,
  • 00:07:27.096 --> 00:07:31.367
  • Then she will respond like a daughter of god.
  • 00:07:31.367 --> 00:07:35.004
  • If i talk to him like he is a son of god,
  • 00:07:35.004 --> 00:07:38.241
  • Then he will respond like he is a son of god.
  • 00:07:38.241 --> 00:07:41.410
  • But if i talk to him like he's a fool,
  • 00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:43.446
  • Guess what's gonna happen?
  • 00:07:43.446 --> 00:07:44.647
  • He's going to respond like he's a fool.
  • 00:07:44.647 --> 00:07:46.616
  • Some of y'all been getting fools because you've been talking
  • 00:07:46.616 --> 00:07:49.452
  • Down, not talking back to me right now.
  • 00:07:49.452 --> 00:07:53.789
  • See, listen, healing begins
  • 00:07:54.390 --> 00:07:57.326
  • When you stop drawing from what's been draining you.
  • 00:07:57.326 --> 00:08:01.297
  • Some of you been in conversations
  • 00:08:01.964 --> 00:08:03.733
  • That's been draining you.
  • 00:08:03.733 --> 00:08:04.934
  • Some of you been in friendships
  • 00:08:04.934 --> 00:08:06.235
  • And relationships that's been draining you.
  • 00:08:06.235 --> 00:08:08.204
  • Some of you are working a job that's been draining you,
  • 00:08:08.204 --> 00:08:10.940
  • And you're just trying to get by,
  • 00:08:10.940 --> 00:08:12.508
  • And you're trying to keep your head above water
  • 00:08:12.508 --> 00:08:14.477
  • And you're trying not to drown.
  • 00:08:14.477 --> 00:08:16.078
  • And god is not telling you just to survive.
  • 00:08:16.078 --> 00:08:18.514
  • He's saying, this is the season where you fall.
  • 00:08:18.514 --> 00:08:20.416
  • He trusts me to pull you out of the muck and mire
  • 00:08:20.416 --> 00:08:23.619
  • And keep your head above water, because healing begins
  • 00:08:23.619 --> 00:08:27.423
  • When you stop drawing from what's been draining you.
  • 00:08:27.423 --> 00:08:34.730
  • I got a question for you.
  • 00:08:35.298 --> 00:08:36.499
  • Family.
  • 00:08:36.499 --> 00:08:39.268
  • How long
  • 00:08:39.268 --> 00:08:41.571
  • Will you let your thirst
  • 00:08:41.571 --> 00:08:43.472
  • Lead you back to your trauma? and.
  • 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.978
  • She's going back to the well because it's familiar.
  • 00:08:50.012 --> 00:08:52.381
  • She's going back to the well at this particular day.
  • 00:08:52.381 --> 00:08:55.051
  • Because of shame, because of guilt,
  • 00:08:55.051 --> 00:08:56.719
  • Because of what people say about her.
  • 00:08:56.719 --> 00:08:58.287
  • She's going back to the will
  • 00:08:58.287 --> 00:08:59.622
  • When no one else is there because she has a past.
  • 00:08:59.622 --> 00:09:02.325
  • And the reality is, is you got a past to.
  • 00:09:02.325 --> 00:09:08.264
  • You got some history.
  • 00:09:08.764 --> 00:09:11.601
  • If you were a car, you have some mileage
  • 00:09:11.601 --> 00:09:13.436
  • On you.
  • 00:09:13.436 --> 00:09:19.275
  • And jesus,
  • 00:09:19.575 --> 00:09:21.243
  • Understanding your full history
  • 00:09:21.243 --> 00:09:24.914
  • And carfax.
  • 00:09:24.914 --> 00:09:32.688
  • Still fully accepts you.
  • 00:09:33.222 --> 00:09:40.663
  • So how long
  • 00:09:40.997 --> 00:09:43.232
  • Would you allow your thirst
  • 00:09:43.232 --> 00:09:45.668
  • To lead you back to trauma?
  • 00:09:45.668 --> 00:09:49.839
  • Sometimes.
  • 00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:53.709
  • We love the trauma.
  • 00:09:54.176 --> 00:09:57.313
  • Because the trauma
  • 00:09:57.747 --> 00:09:59.448
  • Is the only thing we've ever known.
  • 00:09:59.448 --> 00:10:03.152
  • And so we would rather deal with trauma.
  • 00:10:03.152 --> 00:10:05.221
  • We can see
  • 00:10:05.221 --> 00:10:07.189
  • Than health.
  • 00:10:07.523 --> 00:10:08.157
  • We cannot.
  • 00:10:08.157 --> 00:10:11.827
  • And so we'll stay in a relationship
  • 00:10:12.628 --> 00:10:16.732
  • Or a situationship.
  • 00:10:16.732 --> 00:10:20.403
  • That is leading us away from god
  • 00:10:21.037 --> 00:10:24.340
  • Because it makes us comfortable.
  • 00:10:24.974 --> 00:10:27.610
  • And it's convenient
  • 00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:30.279
  • Because we can touch and feel them,
  • 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.616
  • But we can't see and feel.
  • 00:10:33.616 --> 00:10:36.085
  • God, let me tell you why you can't feel god
  • 00:10:36.085 --> 00:10:39.121
  • Because you're too busy feeling on them.
  • 00:10:39.121 --> 00:10:51.300
  • Just look for it.
  • 00:10:51.734 --> 00:10:53.269
  • No one and no.
  • 00:10:53.269 --> 00:10:53.836
  • I'm talking about you.
  • 00:10:53.836 --> 00:10:55.971
  • Just smile and wave.
  • 00:10:55.971 --> 00:10:59.442
  • So you need to know point number two,
  • 00:11:00.176 --> 00:11:02.344
  • You are not disqualified by your mistakes.
  • 00:11:02.344 --> 00:11:05.514
  • You were developed by them.
  • 00:11:05.514 --> 00:11:08.851
  • Jesus doesn't shame her story.
  • 00:11:09.485 --> 00:11:12.254
  • He redeems it.
  • 00:11:12.254 --> 00:11:14.423
  • Did you hear what i said?
  • 00:11:14.423 --> 00:11:16.358
  • Jesus does not shame her story.
  • 00:11:16.358 --> 00:11:19.628
  • He redeems it.
  • 00:11:19.628 --> 00:11:22.932
  • What the world sees as a scandal.
  • 00:11:22.932 --> 00:11:25.301
  • Jesus sees a strategy.
  • 00:11:25.301 --> 00:11:29.071
  • What the world sees as a mistake and a failure.
  • 00:11:29.071 --> 00:11:33.075
  • Jesus sees it as an opportunity
  • 00:11:33.075 --> 00:11:34.910
  • To show and display his miracle working power.
  • 00:11:34.910 --> 00:11:38.681
  • And how one is it?
  • 00:11:38.681 --> 00:11:39.515
  • Anybody glad that jesus does not see
  • 00:11:39.515 --> 00:11:42.818
  • All of the things that you've done,
  • 00:11:42.818 --> 00:11:46.055
  • And he calls you by those things?
  • 00:11:46.055 --> 00:11:48.991
  • He sees all the things that he's done, that you've done,
  • 00:11:48.991 --> 00:11:51.994
  • And he still calls you by your name,
  • 00:11:51.994 --> 00:11:55.598
  • You know.
  • 00:11:55.898 --> 00:12:01.303
  • He said, your mine.
  • 00:12:01.771 --> 00:12:04.039
  • I know you've been looking for stuff.
  • 00:12:04.774 --> 00:12:06.108
  • I know you've been looking for fulfillment.
  • 00:12:06.108 --> 00:12:07.476
  • I know you've been looking to get filled with all this.
  • 00:12:07.476 --> 00:12:10.146
  • But you are mine.
  • 00:12:10.146 --> 00:12:14.250
  • Point number three is this.
  • 00:12:14.850 --> 00:12:18.587
  • You can't carry your jar
  • 00:12:19.088 --> 00:12:21.190
  • And your joy at the same time.
  • 00:12:21.190 --> 00:12:27.363
  • The woman left her jar.
  • 00:12:27.897 --> 00:12:31.267
  • The symbol of her old life.
  • 00:12:31.267 --> 00:12:34.370
  • Her old rhythm, her old routine.
  • 00:12:34.370 --> 00:12:37.706
  • Her old rituals.
  • 00:12:38.073 --> 00:12:40.910
  • And she ran into her new reality.
  • 00:12:40.910 --> 00:12:44.547
  • Some of you are trying to carry joy and your jars
  • 00:12:45.548 --> 00:12:49.919
  • At the same time.
  • 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.856
  • You cannot carry both.
  • 00:12:54.323 --> 00:12:57.626
  • You have to leave one behind.
  • 00:12:58.260 --> 00:13:02.731
  • And the sad reality for some of us is
  • 00:13:03.532 --> 00:13:05.467
  • That we've been leaving joy behind, pursuing other jars.
  • 00:13:05.467 --> 00:13:11.473
  • Because surely
  • 00:13:11.807 --> 00:13:12.641
  • This jar of water will fulfill me.
  • 00:13:12.641 --> 00:13:16.011
  • This jar of water will satisfy me.
  • 00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:18.447
  • This jar of water will quench my thirst.
  • 00:13:18.447 --> 00:13:20.749
  • This jar of water.
  • 00:13:20.749 --> 00:13:21.650
  • It's labeled pretty.
  • 00:13:21.650 --> 00:13:23.319
  • It has a nice label on it.
  • 00:13:23.319 --> 00:13:28.357
  • This jar of water.
  • 00:13:28.791 --> 00:13:32.428
  • Is balanced perfectly
  • 00:13:32.928 --> 00:13:35.431
  • With all of the various ph█s.
  • 00:13:35.431 --> 00:13:40.903
  • And you can't carry your jar
  • 00:13:41.470 --> 00:13:44.440
  • And your joy
  • 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.542
  • At the same time.
  • 00:13:46.542 --> 00:13:50.512
  • You want to know
  • 00:13:50.913 --> 00:13:51.747
  • Why you're overwhelmed in this season?
  • 00:13:51.747 --> 00:13:54.950
  • Because you've been carrying
  • 00:13:55.551 --> 00:13:56.385
  • Too many jars.
  • 00:13:56.385 --> 00:14:00.923
  • And the reality is, for some of us is we think
  • 00:14:01.824 --> 00:14:04.526
  • We're carrying these jars for jesus.
  • 00:14:04.526 --> 00:14:11.300
  • It's mine.
  • 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:12.701
  • So i must i must have to carry all these jars.
  • 00:14:12.701 --> 00:14:15.804
  • I must have to juggle all these things.
  • 00:14:15.804 --> 00:14:17.606
  • I must have to do all these different things.
  • 00:14:17.606 --> 00:14:19.708
  • And the reality is, he did not make you to carry those jars.
  • 00:14:19.708 --> 00:14:23.545
  • He made you to steward his joy.
  • 00:14:23.545 --> 00:14:30.853
  • Frankly, put
  • 00:14:31.186 --> 00:14:32.021
  • Freedom is not found in what you carry.
  • 00:14:32.021 --> 00:14:35.424
  • Freedom is found in who you surrender.
  • 00:14:35.424 --> 00:14:37.660
  • What you carry to.
  • 00:14:37.660 --> 00:14:41.563
  • And it's impossible to run with good news
  • 00:14:42.398 --> 00:14:45.067
  • If you're still weighed down by old needs.
  • 00:14:45.067 --> 00:14:51.473
  • Jesus is telling samaritan woman.
  • 00:14:52.174 --> 00:14:56.145
  • All that you have need of,
  • 00:14:56.712 --> 00:14:59.782
  • All that you desire,
  • 00:14:59.782 --> 00:15:02.618
  • All that you want.
  • 00:15:02.618 --> 00:15:05.220
  • It's found in.
  • 00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:09.191
  • And it says that she comes to this realization
  • 00:15:09.191 --> 00:15:11.560
  • That she's not just talking to a rabbi.
  • 00:15:11.560 --> 00:15:13.362
  • She's not just talking to a prophet.
  • 00:15:13.362 --> 00:15:14.897
  • She is, in fact, talking to the messiah.
  • 00:15:14.897 --> 00:15:17.933
  • And she runs and testifies
  • 00:15:17.933 --> 00:15:21.170
  • About her encounter with jesus.
  • 00:15:21.170 --> 00:15:24.773
  • Point number four is this
  • 00:15:25.341 --> 00:15:28.477
  • Your come and see can be someone else's
  • 00:15:28.477 --> 00:15:31.880
  • Now i believe.
  • 00:15:31.880 --> 00:15:36.151
  • Her testimony became a movement
  • 00:15:36.819 --> 00:15:39.621
  • And she didn't preach a message.
  • 00:15:39.621 --> 00:15:43.692
  • Her testimony became a movement.
  • 00:15:44.326 --> 00:15:46.295
  • And she didn't have a microphone.
  • 00:15:46.295 --> 00:15:49.732
  • Her testimony became a movement, and she didn't have a stage.
  • 00:15:49.732 --> 00:15:54.970
  • A testimony became a movement
  • 00:15:55.604 --> 00:15:58.540
  • Simply because she shared how she had been transformed
  • 00:15:58.540 --> 00:16:02.711
  • By jesus christ.
  • 00:16:03.112 --> 00:16:07.416
  • When the last time you talked
  • 00:16:08.050 --> 00:16:09.318
  • About how god transformed you.
  • 00:16:09.318 --> 00:16:14.456
  • Are you allowing perfectionism
  • 00:16:15.057 --> 00:16:16.592
  • To stop your testimony?
  • 00:16:16.592 --> 00:16:21.130
  • Are you allowing your current test,
  • 00:16:21.897 --> 00:16:23.799
  • Your current trial, your current struggle
  • 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.001
  • To stop you from talking about what jesus brought you out of?
  • 00:16:26.001 --> 00:16:31.540
  • Is it possible that you come out of this trial,
  • 00:16:32.441 --> 00:16:35.411
  • This tribulation, this test by your testimony?
  • 00:16:35.411 --> 00:16:39.548
  • See, scripture teaches us we overcome
  • 00:16:40.382 --> 00:16:42.751
  • By the blood of the lamb and by the words of our testimony.
  • 00:16:42.751 --> 00:16:46.555
  • When you begin to talk about how jesus you, out of that sin,
  • 00:16:46.555 --> 00:16:50.459
  • Guess what?
  • 00:16:50.459 --> 00:16:51.593
  • Jesus will give you the strength to get out of this sin.
  • 00:16:51.593 --> 00:16:56.865
  • Jesus didn't tell her, hey,
  • 00:16:57.466 --> 00:16:59.168
  • I don't want you to speak about what happened here.
  • 00:16:59.168 --> 00:17:01.370
  • I don't want you to hide this conversation.
  • 00:17:01.370 --> 00:17:04.239
  • I don't want you to to to to not tell.
  • 00:17:04.239 --> 00:17:06.375
  • He said, listen,
  • 00:17:06.375 --> 00:17:07.443
  • Go and tell people about your interaction with me.
  • 00:17:07.443 --> 00:17:11.747
  • You know why?
  • 00:17:12.114 --> 00:17:14.650
  • Because jesus is not ashamed
  • 00:17:14.650 --> 00:17:17.486
  • To be associated with you and with me.
  • 00:17:17.486 --> 00:17:21.523
  • He is proud to be associated with you and with me,
  • 00:17:21.523 --> 00:17:25.661
  • Not because of our great works and our ability
  • 00:17:25.661 --> 00:17:28.797
  • And our good deeds.
  • 00:17:28.797 --> 00:17:30.099
  • Because of his grace and his mercy.
  • 00:17:30.099 --> 00:17:32.634
  • That's new.
  • 00:17:32.634 --> 00:17:33.302
  • Every single morning
  • 00:17:33.302 --> 00:17:34.837
  • We have an opportunity to sit at the well with him
  • 00:17:34.837 --> 00:17:37.706
  • And leave the world differently than how we came.
  • 00:17:37.706 --> 00:17:40.909
  • So you don't need a mic to have an impact.
  • 00:17:40.909 --> 00:17:44.646
  • All you need is a memory
  • 00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:46.715
  • Of god's mercy.
  • 00:17:46.715 --> 00:17:49.885
  • And when you can remember what he brought you out of.
  • 00:17:50.986 --> 00:17:54.256
  • When you can remember the last trial he bought you do.
  • 00:17:54.256 --> 00:17:57.159
  • When you can remember the last test
  • 00:17:57.159 --> 00:17:59.261
  • He allowed you to pass, when you can remember.
  • 00:17:59.261 --> 00:18:02.231
  • And you bring yourself to the memory of the mercy
  • 00:18:02.231 --> 00:18:05.267
  • That only god can give.
  • 00:18:05.267 --> 00:18:06.802
  • It's a light of fire on the inside of you
  • 00:18:06.802 --> 00:18:09.538
  • That can't be put out.
  • 00:18:09.538 --> 00:18:11.073
  • And the word of god says, this is my fire set up in my bones.
  • 00:18:11.073 --> 00:18:16.512
  • So you don't need a stage.
  • 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:18.280
  • You need a memory of god's mercy.
  • 00:18:18.280 --> 00:18:21.550
  • You don't need a moment.
  • 00:18:21.550 --> 00:18:22.684
  • Some of you like. i'm just waiting on my moment. pass.
  • 00:18:22.684 --> 00:18:24.219
  • I'm just waiting on my moment. i'm just waiting on my moment.
  • 00:18:24.219 --> 00:18:26.421
  • I'm just waiting on my moment.
  • 00:18:26.421 --> 00:18:27.656
  • I'm waiting on god to tell me when.
  • 00:18:27.656 --> 00:18:29.258
  • I'm waiting for god to tell me when.
  • 00:18:29.258 --> 00:18:30.792
  • And the moment is when you remember.
  • 00:18:30.792 --> 00:18:34.630
  • Can you remember the sin that you got saved from?
  • 00:18:34.630 --> 00:18:38.834
  • Can you remember the lifestyle you got delivered from?
  • 00:18:38.834 --> 00:18:42.004
  • Can you remember when he healed your body?
  • 00:18:42.004 --> 00:18:43.972
  • When doctors could not?
  • 00:18:43.972 --> 00:18:45.107
  • Can you remember
  • 00:18:45.107 --> 00:18:46.141
  • When he gave you wisdom and knowledge
  • 00:18:46.141 --> 00:18:48.143
  • To get out of that situation and that relationship,
  • 00:18:48.143 --> 00:18:50.913
  • When you couldn't figure out how to get out?
  • 00:18:50.913 --> 00:18:52.948
  • Can you remember when you can remember that is the moment.
  • 00:18:52.948 --> 00:19:01.924
  • Some of us are
  • 00:19:02.257 --> 00:19:03.058
  • Waiting on opportunities,
  • 00:19:03.058 --> 00:19:06.128
  • And i'm telling you, you have to create the opportunity.
  • 00:19:06.128 --> 00:19:10.265
  • The way you create the opportunity,
  • 00:19:11.033 --> 00:19:13.902
  • It's still a memory
  • 00:19:13.902 --> 00:19:15.771
  • Of the mercy of god.
  • 00:19:15.771 --> 00:19:18.740
  • Had it not been for the grace of jesus
  • 00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:21.310
  • Christ, where in the world would we be?
  • 00:19:21.310 --> 00:19:26.782
  • Stuck in the sin.
  • 00:19:27.216 --> 00:19:28.183
  • Stuck in the lifestyle.
  • 00:19:28.183 --> 00:19:29.251
  • Stuck in the cycle.
  • 00:19:29.251 --> 00:19:30.185
  • Stuck in and in.
  • 00:19:30.185 --> 00:19:31.453
  • In the routine and in the mundane.
  • 00:19:31.453 --> 00:19:33.555
  • Washing machine
  • 00:19:33.555 --> 00:19:34.690
  • Going over and over and over and over and over again.
  • 00:19:34.690 --> 00:19:37.659
  • The same things over and over and over and over again, telling
  • 00:19:37.659 --> 00:19:41.730
  • God i'm sorry and him accepting us back again
  • 00:19:41.730 --> 00:19:45.400
  • Because of his grace and his mercy.
  • 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:52.541
  • You don't need a mike.
  • 00:19:53.008 --> 00:19:55.811
  • You don't need a moment
  • 00:19:55.811 --> 00:19:58.614
  • In a memory of god's mercy.
  • 00:19:58.614 --> 00:20:04.119
  • And the
  • 00:20:04.353 --> 00:20:05.287
  • Reason god used this great woman of god.
  • 00:20:05.287 --> 00:20:08.323
  • It's not because her words were perfect.
  • 00:20:08.323 --> 00:20:11.994
  • Reason jesus used her.
  • 00:20:12.461 --> 00:20:15.130
  • It's because her words were honest.
  • 00:20:15.130 --> 00:20:20.836
  • She didn't hide her past.
  • 00:20:21.403 --> 00:20:24.706
  • She revealed her past
  • 00:20:25.207 --> 00:20:26.742
  • And got healed from her past.
  • 00:20:26.742 --> 00:20:34.883
  • So you're not just saved
  • 00:20:35.417 --> 00:20:37.352
  • From something
  • 00:20:37.352 --> 00:20:39.988
  • You are saved for someone.
  • 00:20:39.988 --> 00:20:51.700
  • Got enough phony christians.
  • 00:20:52.301 --> 00:20:57.406
  • Stop acting like
  • 00:20:57.806 --> 00:20:58.674
  • You've been perfect all your life.
  • 00:20:58.674 --> 00:21:03.345
  • You know why
  • 00:21:03.679 --> 00:21:05.647
  • People don't want to go to church with you?
  • 00:21:05.647 --> 00:21:08.717
  • Because you act perfect.
  • 00:21:08.717 --> 00:21:11.653
  • Try to hide your flaws and your sin.
  • 00:21:11.653 --> 00:21:13.989
  • Word of god says that jesus will heal
  • 00:21:13.989 --> 00:21:17.693
  • What you present to him?
  • 00:21:18.226 --> 00:21:21.863
  • They know you're not perfect.
  • 00:21:21.863 --> 00:21:22.864
  • Stop acting like you are.
  • 00:21:22.864 --> 00:21:24.733
  • We are all in pursuit of the perfect one
  • 00:21:24.733 --> 00:21:26.902
  • That heals us, that delivers us, that saves us, that redeems
  • 00:21:26.902 --> 00:21:29.705
  • Us, that restores us, that resurrects us.
  • 00:21:29.705 --> 00:21:32.174
  • But we cannot resurrect ourselves.
  • 00:21:32.174 --> 00:21:34.643
  • He knows everything about you, and he still chooses you.
  • 00:21:34.643 --> 00:21:42.751
  • So your story.
  • 00:21:43.085 --> 00:21:46.822
  • Is someone else's survivors, manual.
  • 00:21:46.822 --> 00:21:52.928
  • Don't hide
  • 00:21:53.228 --> 00:21:55.097
  • What god has delivered you from.
  • 00:21:55.097 --> 00:22:00.369
  • He's brought you from a mighty long way.
  • 00:22:01.203 --> 00:22:05.073
  • And the reality is, he is not finished yet.
  • 00:22:05.073 --> 00:22:08.677
  • He's got great
  • 00:22:09.010 --> 00:22:09.945
  • Plans for your life.
  • 00:22:09.945 --> 00:22:12.647
  • I'm reminded of jeremiah chapter
  • 00:22:12.647 --> 00:22:14.916
  • 29, verse 11.
  • 00:22:14.916 --> 00:22:18.053
  • Oftentimes when we read this, we believe that the
  • 00:22:19.087 --> 00:22:21.790
  • Beginning portion is the promise that he makes us this
  • 00:22:21.790 --> 00:22:25.127
  • Scripture says, for i know the plans i have
  • 00:22:26.027 --> 00:22:27.996
  • For you, declares the lord.
  • 00:22:27.996 --> 00:22:31.533
  • Plans for welfare and not for evil,
  • 00:22:31.533 --> 00:22:35.170
  • To give you a future and a hope.
  • 00:22:35.170 --> 00:22:38.940
  • We read this.
  • 00:22:39.307 --> 00:22:40.175
  • We believe that's the promise.
  • 00:22:40.175 --> 00:22:41.676
  • That's not the promise.
  • 00:22:41.676 --> 00:22:43.178
  • Verse 12 says, then you will call upon me
  • 00:22:43.178 --> 00:22:46.114
  • And come and pray to me,
  • 00:22:46.114 --> 00:22:48.850
  • And i will hear you.
  • 00:22:48.850 --> 00:22:52.754
  • Here's the promise you will seek me
  • 00:22:53.488 --> 00:22:57.092
  • And find me.
  • 00:22:57.426 --> 00:23:00.529
  • When you seek me with all your heart,
  • 00:23:01.329 --> 00:23:04.132
  • I will be found by you,
  • 00:23:04.132 --> 00:23:07.869
  • Declares the lord.
  • 00:23:08.303 --> 00:23:10.839
  • Do you know why the samaritan woman
  • 00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:14.342
  • Was delivered and set free?
  • 00:23:14.342 --> 00:23:16.711
  • Because she sought out the lord and found him.
  • 00:23:16.711 --> 00:23:21.283
  • Do you know that god has a plan and a purpose for your life?
  • 00:23:21.283 --> 00:23:26.288
  • And the truth of this scripture is he knows the plans.
  • 00:23:26.288 --> 00:23:29.858
  • You don't.
  • 00:23:29.858 --> 00:23:36.097
  • The tension of this verse
  • 00:23:36.665 --> 00:23:39.935
  • Is that it says in verse number 12,
  • 00:23:39.935 --> 00:23:42.804
  • Then you will call upon me.
  • 00:23:42.804 --> 00:23:47.375
  • So often we call on our friends,
  • 00:23:48.009 --> 00:23:50.378
  • We call on our family, and we call on everyone else.
  • 00:23:50.378 --> 00:23:54.182
  • We call on our abilities and our efforts and our research
  • 00:23:54.182 --> 00:23:57.919
  • And our information and our insight.
  • 00:23:57.919 --> 00:23:59.821
  • And he's saying, you will call upon me, and here's the promise.
  • 00:23:59.821 --> 00:24:06.261
  • You will find me.
  • 00:24:06.695 --> 00:24:15.170
  • For the well, in john chapter four,
  • 00:24:15.971 --> 00:24:17.639
  • It represented a routine that represented religion.
  • 00:24:17.639 --> 00:24:20.075
  • It represented shame, it represented survival.
  • 00:24:20.075 --> 00:24:22.844
  • And jesus sitting at the well represents freedom,
  • 00:24:22.844 --> 00:24:26.348
  • True fulfillment, and eternal life.
  • 00:24:26.348 --> 00:24:30.485
  • She came to the well with a jar and a history
  • 00:24:31.353 --> 00:24:34.623
  • And she left with a testimony and a future.
  • 00:24:34.623 --> 00:24:38.226
  • I mentioned this in the message, but i believe it will resonate
  • 00:24:39.427 --> 00:24:43.031
  • Right now for a time as we close this broadcast.
  • 00:24:43.031 --> 00:24:46.268
  • That is this truth.
  • 00:24:46.735 --> 00:24:48.603
  • Those that entrust everything into god's
  • 00:24:48.603 --> 00:24:51.506
  • Hands will see god's hands in everything.
  • 00:24:51.506 --> 00:24:55.477
  • What is it right now you need to leave behind.
  • 00:24:55.477 --> 00:24:58.346
  • What is it? right now?
  • 00:24:58.346 --> 00:24:59.147
  • You need to drop and let go of it.
  • 00:24:59.147 --> 00:25:01.616
  • Is it right now?
  • 00:25:01.616 --> 00:25:02.584
  • You need to lay at his feet and surrender.
  • 00:25:02.584 --> 00:25:05.086
  • For some of us has habits, for others is relationships.
  • 00:25:05.086 --> 00:25:08.623
  • Many of us it's
  • 00:25:09.024 --> 00:25:09.958
  • Thoughts and ideas that are contrary
  • 00:25:09.958 --> 00:25:11.826
  • To the things god desires for us. whatever
  • 00:25:11.826 --> 00:25:14.029
  • It is right now, i want you to leave it at the well.
  • 00:25:14.029 --> 00:25:17.566
  • Jesus is with you.
  • 00:25:17.999 --> 00:25:19.601
  • He desires to take those things and replace them with joy,
  • 00:25:19.601 --> 00:25:23.204
  • Peace, love.
  • 00:25:23.204 --> 00:25:25.040
  • And so right now, i want to set myself in agreement with you
  • 00:25:25.040 --> 00:25:27.542
  • And my hope, my prayer, my belief is that whatever it is
  • 00:25:27.542 --> 00:25:31.246
  • That you need to leave at the well,
  • 00:25:31.246 --> 00:25:32.681
  • Jesus will give you the strength to do so.
  • 00:25:32.681 --> 00:25:35.250
  • And so right now, i pray for my brother and my sister.
  • 00:25:35.250 --> 00:25:37.485
  • I ask god that you would give them
  • 00:25:37.485 --> 00:25:38.954
  • The courage, the strength, the boldness to leave
  • 00:25:38.954 --> 00:25:40.989
  • Whatever it is behind, leave it at the well right now.
  • 00:25:40.989 --> 00:25:44.159
  • We thank you right now.
  • 00:25:44.159 --> 00:25:45.060
  • God that you are exchanging what it is
  • 00:25:45.060 --> 00:25:47.095
  • That they've been caring for, what it is that you carry.
  • 00:25:47.095 --> 00:25:49.864
  • We exchange fear for peace.
  • 00:25:49.864 --> 00:25:52.300
  • We exchange anger for love.
  • 00:25:52.300 --> 00:25:54.603
  • We exchange bitterness.
  • 00:25:54.603 --> 00:25:56.204
  • God for joy.
  • 00:25:56.204 --> 00:25:57.405
  • And we thank you right now in the name of jesus that we,
  • 00:25:57.405 --> 00:25:59.541
  • As we make this exchange with you,
  • 00:25:59.541 --> 00:26:01.509
  • You give us something that we cannot give ourselves.
  • 00:26:01.509 --> 00:26:03.979
  • And so we ask right now,
  • 00:26:03.979 --> 00:26:04.980
  • In the name of jesus, that you would do
  • 00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:07.115
  • The unthinkable supernatural things that you do.
  • 00:26:07.115 --> 00:26:10.251
  • In jesus name we pray. amen.
  • 00:26:10.819 --> 00:26:14.155
  • Family, i pray that this broadcast has been a blessing,
  • 00:26:14.155 --> 00:26:17.459
  • And if so, our team is going
  • 00:26:17.459 --> 00:26:18.627
  • To throw some information at the bottom of the screen
  • 00:26:18.627 --> 00:26:20.695
  • As to how you can partner with us.
  • 00:26:20.695 --> 00:26:22.597
  • I want you to know your financial contribution
  • 00:26:22.597 --> 00:26:24.432
  • And whether it's small or large, all of it matters.

  • And eternity and all of it matters in helping us

  • To the four corners of the world.

  • We don't want to do it without you.
  • 00:26:37.278 --> 00:26:39.047
  • And i believe that every single seed that you so
  • 00:26:39.047 --> 00:26:42.651
