08/05 John 4:31-33
Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus to eat. 32 “No,” he said, “I have food you don’t know about.” 33 “Who brought it to him?” the disciples asked each other.
SPIRITUAL
Until Jesus was resurrected we don’t see the disciples doing anything that indicated they knew Jesus was the Christ. His resurrection changed everything. The disciples became martyrs and spiritual leaders. They discovered what Jesus was talking about first-hand by obeying the Lord and doing what He called them to do. Let us gaze with intensity at Jesus and listen to Him and do what He says.

08/04 John 4:27-30
Just then his disciples arrived. They were astonished to find him talking to a woman, but none of them asked him why he was doing it or what they had been discussing. 28 The woman left her water jar beside the well and went back to the village and told everyone, 29 “Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Can this be the Messiah?” 30 So the people came streaming from the village to see him.
TESTIFY
When you meet Jesus you can’t hold it in for it will burst out of your heart and through your mouth telling the world about our Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ. He is incomparable. Nothing can compare with Him. No other event in the history of mankind even rivals His birth, life, death and resurrection defeating sin and death and is alive today seated at the right hand of the Father. Jesus is Lord.
08/03 John 4:25-26
The woman said, “I know the Messiah will come — the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” 26 Then Jesus told her, “I am the Messiah!”
JESUS
Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is Lord. Jesus is God. Jesus is alive. He has defeated death and sits at the right hand of the Father. Praise the Lord for the Messiah has come and He has provided salvation and righteousness for us. Trust in Jesus for He is the only way to the Father.
08/02 John 4:19-25
“Sir,” the woman said, “you must be a prophet. 20 So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?” 21 Jesus replied, “Believe me, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father here or in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans know so little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. 23 But the time is coming and is already here when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship him that way. 24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
WHY?
Why questions are always a ploy of our enemy the EVIL ONE. Don’t get side tracked worrying about why. Read the Bible. Do what you know. Serve the best you can. Trust the Lord. Always remember that God is always good! Always without exception God is good. Praise the Lord and worship Him.
08/01 John 4:15-18
“Please, sir,” the woman said, “give me some of that water! Then I’ll never be thirsty again, and I won’t have to come here to haul water.” 16 “Go and get your husband,” Jesus told her. 17 “I don’t have a husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said, “You’re right! You don’t have a husband — 18 for you have had five husbands, and you aren’t even married to the man you’re living with now.”
HURTING
What do a hurting woman and a Jewish Rabbi have in common? Not anything without the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus knows your sorrow and He knows your need. He will not forsake you. Jesus will never let you go because He loves you.
07/31 John 4:13-14
Jesus replied, “People soon become thirsty again after drinking this water. 14 But the water I give them takes away thirst altogether. It becomes a perpetual spring within them, giving them eternal life.”
COMPLETE
We are complete in Christ. Jesus is Lord of all. Follow Him and He will guide you through each day. Praise the Lord. He will never let us get lost.
07/30 John 4:10-12
Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.” 11 “But sir, you don’t have a rope or a bucket,” she said, “and this is a very deep well. Where would you get this living water? 12 And besides, are you greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his cattle enjoyed?”
LIVING WATER
Need help? Ask Jesus. Need relief? Ask Jesus. Need a victory? Ask Jesus. He knows all about you and will not desert you. Ask Jesus.
07/29 John 4:7-9
Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.” 8 He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. 9 The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?”
WHO?
Jesus knew who the woman was and He knew what she had done. Good folk didn’t fraternize with people like her. Jesus loves people. All people. Everyone. This woman needed Him and Jesus had come looking for her. Do you need Jesus? If you do call upon His name and He will very soon come looking for you. Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If you have remember that there is nothing stale about our relationship with Jesus. He is the Creator of all things and He wants to be a part of our life. Spend time with Jesus and He will guide you in the way you should go.
07/28 John 4:4-6
He had to go through Samaria on the way. 5 Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.
ROUTE
Jesus followed the route set out by the Holy Spirit. Jews didn’t go thru Sychar and yet Jesus did. Jesus knows what is happening in your life and He will guide you in the correct way you should go. Praise the Lord Jesus.
07/27 John 4:1-3
Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard, “Jesus is baptizing and making more disciples than John” 2 (though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them — his disciples did). 3 So he left Judea to return to Galilee.
JESUS
Jesus knew what was happening and He knew it wasn’t His hour so He followed the lead of the Father and went back to Galilee. Do what the Lord says. Do it every day. You will find your walk miraculously paralleling God’s Word and direction. Come Lord Jesus.
