The Word May 12, 2006

Lessons Learned

John 4: 39-42 (Kings James Version)
“And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on
him for the saying of the women, which testified, He
told me all that I ever did. So when the Samaritans
were come unto him, they besought him that he would
tarry with them: and he abode there two days. And many
more believed because of his own word; And said unto
the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying:
for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this
indeed is the Christ, the Saviour of the world.”

-On May 14, 2006, it has been three months since God
started me sending these emails. Before I write, I
always pray and ask God to bless me with the words to
say. Then I pray for everyone that I send the emails
to. I ask that when each of you read/receive them (I
understand there is not always time to read them all)
each person gets what he or she needs out of them.
Only God knows what we need. I believe that He has
been answering my prayers because every now and again
someone will send me a reply to tell me how much a
certain word has touched him/her. Trust me these,
daily writings are touching my life as well. If no one
is being blessed; I am. There are times when I reread
them and it is as though I am reading them for the
first time. At that point all I can say is, “You go
Holy Spirit. Do your thing! Use me!”

-Now let’s deal with the word. In John 4: 1-42, Jesus
was by a well and asked this Samarian woman for a
drink of water. They talk for a little and then Jesus
starts telling the lady about her life. She then says,
“I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ:
when he is come he will tell us all things,” (John
4:25). Jesus tells the women that He is that Messiah.

-At this point, she is so excited that she goes back
to the town and tells everyone. They believe her and
go out to the water well to see. Later they tell the
women, “Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for
we have heard him ourselves, and know that this indeed
is the Christ, the Saviour of the world,” (John 4:42).


-At first they believed because of what the women
said and later they believed because they heard for
themselves. I hope that when I first started these
writings you read because you “believed the woman”
(myself) and now I pray that you start to believe and
listen to the Father for yourselves. He wants a
personal relationship with you. How do you get that
personal relationship with God? By reading and
studying the word of God and allowing the Holy Spirit
to give you divine revelations. When we are dating
someone and trying to get to know a person we spend
intimate time with that person. I believe that you
will enjoy your intimate time with the Lord. “Lord,
please show me how to develop a person relationship
with you.”
