Healed And Hopeful
(English) In this message Ps Catherine talks about in these 4 points:
(John 4:5-9 TPT) Jesus arrived at the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. (6-8) Wearied by his long journey, he sat on the edge of Jacob’s well, and sent his disciples into the village to buy food, for it was already afternoon.
Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
(9) She replied, “Why would a Jewish man ask a Samaritan woman for a drink of water?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
(John 4:10 TPT) Jesus replied, “If you only knew who I am and the gift that God wants to give you, you’d ask me for a drink, and I would give you living water.”
(John 4:13-18 TPT) Jesus answered, “If you drink from Jacob’s well, you’ll be thirsty again, (14) but if anyone drinks the living water I give them, they will never be thirsty again. For when you drink the water I give you, it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit, flooding you with endless life!” (15) The woman replied, “Let me drink that water so I’ll never be thirsty again and won’t have to come back here to draw water.” (16) Jesus said, “Go get your husband and bring him back here.” *(17) “But I’m not married,” the woman answered. “That’s true,” Jesus said, 18“for you’ve been married five times, and now you’re living with a man who is not your husband. You have told the truth.”
(John 4: 36-30 TPT) Jesus said to her, “You don’t have to wait any longer, the Anointed One is here speaking with you—I am the One you’re looking for.” (27) At that moment, his disciples returned and were stunned to see Jesus speaking with a Samaritan woman, yet none of them dared ask him why or what they were discussing. (28) All at once, the woman left her water jar and ran off to her village and told everyone, (29) “Come and meet a man at the well who told me everything I’ve ever done! He could be the One we’ve been waiting for.” (30) Hearing this, the people came streaming out of the village to go see Jesus.
Keys to taking hold of the healing and hope Jesus is offering you:
1.Come to Jesus
2. Forgiveness
(Romans 8:1 NIV) Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
3. You are a New Creation
(2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT) This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
4.Jesus Restores Vision and Purpose
(John 4:39-42 TPT) Many from the Samaritan village became believers in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony: “He told me everything I ever did!” (40) Then they begged Jesus to stay with them, so he stayed there for two days, (41) resulting in many more coming to faith in him because of his message. (42)The Samaritans said to the woman, “Now we’ve heard him ourselves. We no longer believe just because of what you told us, but we’re convinced that he really is the true Savior of the world!”
