Good morning. We are with Jesus and the woman at the well.
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’ve given you living water. In the book
of Numbers, it talks about adding flowing or living water to the ashes of a
sacrifice. The Holy Spirit is not like a lake or a pond just sitting there. He
is living and moving and active in and through you. Of course the woman was
thinking in the natural. Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is
deep; where then do You get that living water? When the present well was
cleaned out in 1935, it was found to be 138 feet deep. Did they have to dig
that far to hit water, or was it that over time they had to keep digging and
digging to keep getting water? In either case that is a desperation for water.
That is the way we should be going after the Holy Spirit! You are not greater
than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us this well? Everyone who drinks of
this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give
him shall never thirst; but the water I will give him will become in him a well
of water springing up to eternal life. Again, the Holy Spirit is not a stagnant
pond but a living, breathing geyser of water springing up in us. Father thank
You that the reader has that well of the Holy Spirit springing up in him/her.
Help it to overflow into his/her life every day!
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
