The Water of Life (Woman At The Well) - only Jesus can give the waters of life. Only He can truly heal our hurting hearts and save our sin-sick soul. This water of life tells the story from start to finish that all who will, may come. "Come, and let him that is athirst come." The spirit of every believer is born anew at the time he first believed – but the soul of every believer needs to partake of the Living Water each day. No matter what we have done in the past, nor what dark secrets hide in our hearts, He is ever willing to sit by the many wells of the world and wait for one soul to come

"And Jesus must needs go through Samaria.

"Jesus therefore, being wearied with His journey, sat thus on the well. 

"There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. 

"Jesus saith unto her, ‘Give me to drink’. ‘Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.’" - John 4:2-14

Peace and Satisfaction

The soul of man was made for God and needs fellowship with God.

Without God, the heart and soul of man is lost and in bondage to a cruel taskmaster – but when a lost soul returns to the Lord he finds peace and satisfaction. 

The spirit of every believer is born anew at the time he first believed – but the soul of every believer needs to partake of the Living Water each day

To say that a believer has no further need of the Lord once tasted, is false, "for blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. - Matthew 5:6

Health and Healing

But sinner and saint alike will find no lasting joy in the fading pleasures of this world

The tidbits of the world are evanescent – the refreshment of the Lord is everlasting. 

Jesus said, "I shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."John 4:14. 

His living water from God brings life and health and healing and wholeness.

"And He showed me a pure river of water of life – clear as crystal."

The tree of life is a healing stream, whose leaves are used for wholeness – "for the healing of the nations” - Revelation 22:1

Channels of Blessing

And He uses you and He uses me to be channels of blessing, through whom His living waters may flow, if we, in deep humility, will empty ourselves of king self; if we, in self-brokenness, will invite Him to reign as supreme ruler in our lives. 

His living streams bring the glorious hope of salvation to all who drink of Him, just as redemptive salvation flooded into the life of the woman of Samaria, the moment that she believed His Word and obeyed His command. 

"Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean. I cleanse you." - Ezekiel 36:24. 

"Go and sin no more."John 8:11

Living Water

All the billowing waters of divine judgment deluged over the Lord on the cross – as He was submerged neath the rising floodwaters of God’s pure wrath … WHY? 

Why? ... so that we could believe on His name and have rivers of living water flow through us. 

Similarly, once saved – sanctifying salvation streams into the maturing believer – "the one who walks not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1.

Fountain of Life

His sparkling river of life threads through Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation ... flooding the sinful world with the scarlet stream of His saving blood. 

This water of life tells the story from start to finish that all who will, may come. "Come, and let him that is athirst come." - Revelation 22:17. 

Only Jesus can give the waters of life. Only He can truly heal our hurting hearts and save our sin-sick soul.

River of Life

No matter what we have done in the past, nor what dark secrets hide in our hearts, He is ever willing to sit by the many wells of the world and wait for one soul to come. 

"And whosoever will ... let him take the water of life freely. And He showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb." - Revelation 22:17

Fill My Cup, Lord - Courthouse Road Church

lyrics

Like the woman at the well

I was seeking

For things that could not satisfy

And then I heard my Savior speaking

"Draw from My well that never shall run dry"

Fill my cup, Lord

I lift it up, Lord

Come and quench this thirsting of my soul

Bread of Heaven, feed me 'til I want no more

Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole

There are millions in this world

Who are craving

The pleasures, earthly things of gold

But none can match the wondrous treasure

That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord

Fill my cup, Lord

I lift it up, Lord

Come and quench this thirsting of my soul

Bread of Heaven, feed me 'til I want no more

Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole

Here's my cup, fill it up and make me whole

Remember Not the Former Things - we are encouraged to keep our eyes focused on the Author and Finisher of the faith so that we will be able to run the race He has set before us. We can remember not the former things or consider the things of old. God will resolve our past and redeem us for a life of newness, hope, purpose, and joy

God Moments - God is always with us, both in the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life, but sometimes we forget or fail to recognize Him in them. God’s plan for our good is ceaselessly in operation. He is always present and proving Himself faithful

Déjà Vu - a déjà vu experience could be the result of God revealing certain things to a person before the event occurred, but the experience could also simply be the result of something occurring that is very similar to an event in the past
