Where then do You get that living water?

John 4:10-11, 13-14 NKJV

Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the  gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you  living water.”  The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Jesus answered and said to her,  “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,   but  whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him  will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Gud morning friends. This morning, out of the blue moon, suddenly i felt so thirsty and that i must drink a glass of chilled water. And after drinking, as usual i reading this passage and it answered why that sudden thirst. Holy Spirit come and teach us, give us wisdom and understanding as we partake of the breakfast that you have for us. Father bless this Word and let it bring Life into our lives. In Jesus name, amen!!!

The only reason that we take time to fast and pray is to be refilled, renewed, refreshed, refocused, and received a new revelation from God so that we would know what to do next. Getting to the NEXT LEVEL, is all about coming to God and surrendering our lives totally and doing His will. When i was thirsty, i drank a glass of water, if our spirit is thirsty, come to God and He will give us the LIVING waters! If we know the gift of God... What gift? The gift of SALVATION. And Jesus asks give Me a drink means, give Me your life in exchange for My life. If you have My life, you have everything. Let Me live in you and you will experience the abundance of life.

You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Most of the time we reasoned God. The Bible and God Himself said "I am able" yet we always limit our expectation of God. God says "I have the solution" but we say "but God... You have nothing to draw with." Each of us thinks about Jesus in this way in some particular. This doubts about Jesus start from the amused questions put to us when we talk of our transaction with God. Or they start from ourselves when we tell Jesus that our case its a bit too hard for Him to handle.

The well is deep - and a great deal deeper than the Samaritan woman knew! Think of the depths of human nature, of human life, think of the depths of the "wells" in you. Suppose there is a well of fathomless trouble inside your heart, and Jesus comes and say - "Let not your heart be troubled"; And you shrug your shoulders and say, "But, Lord, the well is deep; You cannot draw up quietness and comfort out of it." No, He will bring them down from above. Jesus does not bring anything up from the wells of human nature. We limit God by saying, "of course I cannot expect God to do this thing." The reason this thing happens because we tend to forget the Almightiness of God because of our doubts. We look to Jesus as our Comforter and Sympathizer, but we will not come to Him as Almighty because of doubt. We are incomplete in one way or another, therefore the well of our incompleteness is deep, but make the effort and look away to Jesus. It can only be done if we look to Jesus alone as the Almighty God!

Stepping into the NEXT LEVEL with doubts in our hearts is a thing that we need to deal with. Do not limit God for the things that He can do in our lives. Let us allow His to purge out all the doubts as we take time in seeking Him. Lets surrender our lives totally to the Almighty God.
