Water is essential. And though the Lord here would deal with two types of water here. Two types of water. The Bible says that in verse number one, from the mic, when uh the Lord knew how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John. Amen. He baptized his disciples. And he left Judea and departed again into Galilee. And he said this, I must need go to Samaria. And so the Lord had a need, because somebody else had a need. And so he purposely, he didn't say I might, he didn't say I'm going around. He says, I must need go to Samaria. And uh Samaria was a place that the Jews had no dealing with, the people, because they counted them as some of the worst type of people in the world, and they didn't deal with them. And so, but Jesus had a need to go reach folk that folk thought wasn't deemed to be like anybody else. Ah, I wish somebody had a need. There was a need, amen. And so he went. And the Bible says he came to a city of Samaria, which is called Shichar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now, uh Jacob's well was there. Jacob's well that Jacob uh dug and built for his children, for him, for his animals. Amen. They needed that life source of water. And so he went there and he handed that well down, amen, to Joseph. Amen. And uh Jesus was there coming out of the lineage, amen, of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob coming out of the lineage of David. David, amen, coming out of the tribe of Judah. The Lord came and he went to that well because he had purpose. Amen. I want you to know on today, if you come into the house of God, God has a purpose. It must need be the Lord be here today, because God's gonna deal with your situation, your circumstance. Amen. And so he says here, he says, Amen, that uh he came and uh uh Jacob's well being there, Jesus therefore being waried of his journey. This depicts that Jesus was not only divine, but he was human. And in his natural body he had, he got tired and weary. Amen. And so, like some of us, amen, we get tired and weary. Amen. But the Bible teaches us be not wary in well doing. For in due season you shall reap if you faint not. Hallelujah. I want to encourage you today, don't you get tired of doing well. Amen. You should be tired of doing that which is wrong and evil, but not be tired of doing that which is good. Yes, be not wary. Tell somebody, don't be wary. So here Jesus was, amen. Weary on his journey, sat there on the well, and it was about the sixth hour. It was high noon. It was noonday. Noontime is the hottest of the day that it usually is at noonday. At noonday, and Jesus sat at the well. And he sat at the well because him needing to go through Samaria, he was waiting on somebody to come by the well. He was looking for somebody that was thirsty. Oh, glory. I wish I had a couple folk in here that are really thirsty. That are thirsting for hungering for the word of God. Hallelujah. Yes, I'm thirsty. Amen. And so he positioned himself there so he could meet the woman, amen, at the well. Yes, he put himself there so that he could have a contact with this woman. I want you to know that the Spirit of the Lord is here today, that you might make contact with him. Amen. And so uh at the hottest day of the day at noon, uh uh uh this woman comes now. It depicts a couple things. Number one, the woman came by herself, and then she came during the hottest part of the day, which means she wasn't accepted of the other woman. Who in the world will go draw water at high noon, the hottest part of the day? The women usually went during the morning or in the cool of the day in the evening. But this woman comes at noonday, hallelujah. There's times in our lives where we feel like that we're separated and alone and by ourselves. Glory be to God, amen. But you've got to be careful, knowing this, that when you're alone and by yourself, it's an opportunity for you to have a conversation with the Lord. Oh, glory to God, hallelujah. Yes, he needs me to go to Samaria, and he was waiting at the well. I want you to know that the Lord is here waiting at the well to meet with you in the name of the Lord. Anybody want to have a meeting with the Lord today? Hallelujah. Yes, you need a meeting with the Lord, amen. Because some of you are getting wary, some of you are getting wary, and the enemy is taking things that are going on in your life and making you doubt God. But the things that happen in your life is not supposed to make you doubt God, it's supposed to make you glorify God, hallelujah. For my God will somebody say, My God will, He will do it, He will bring me out, God will make a way, God will help me through it. Amen. Hallelujah. I don't plan on being up here alone, amen. But God will uh tell somebody, God will. God will, not you, but God will. The Lord will. And so here she is, amen, being by herself and alone. Uh uh came, the Bible said, There came a woman of Samaria to draw water, amen. And Jesus said unto her, give me drink. Now, Jesus' natural body is is tired, and he sits on the well, and and uh you know that that water quenches a thirsty soul. Yeah, just like a good word, yes, quenches a thirsty soul. Yes, hallelujah! Yes, somebody come today for a good word. Uh who's anticipating a good word? Oh, glory to God, hallelujah! And the word of the Lord says, He said, Give me the drink. Now he asked her, give me the drink. For his disciples gone away in the city to buy meat, then said the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it thou being a Jew? You being a Jew, how is it that you are asking of me? Which am a woman of Samaria? The Jews don't have no dealings with us. Why are you asking me for a drink? You don't have no deal with me in Samaria. And Jesus said unto her, Jesus said unto her, uh, if thou, two things here, he says, if thou knewest the gift of God, if you only knew what the gift of God is, the gift of God is the Spirit of God called the Holy Ghost. If you only knew the gift of God, which is if you only knew the power that's in the Holy Ghost. Yes, if you only knew the power that you have, the enemy defeats so many saints because they don't realize what they really have. Yes, you don't just have something that's minute, you have something that came out of glory in the name of the Lord. Anybody know what you really have? You've got the Holy Ghost, you've got power. Yes, the Bible says when the Holy Ghost has come upon you, you should have power. Somebody say power. Anybody got any power in here today? Hallelujah. So he said, if only you knew the gift of God, if you only knew it. So she didn't know the gift of God. And he says, and and also if you knew who it is that saith unto thee, give me drink. So you don't know the gift of God, and you don't even know who you're talking to. Oh, good God Almighty. Had an encounter with the Lord and don't even know who he is, sitting right in front of you, speaking to you every Sunday, trying to encourage you, and you don't even know who he is. Good God Almighty. Oh, I wish somebody would heard the word of the Lord. If you would have known who's speaking to you, then you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water. Oh, yes, hallelujah. God says, I want to give you something that caused you to never thirst. This living water. Oh, glory to God. And he said to her, if you only knew, and here's what the woman said. The woman said, Uh unto him, sir, thou hast nothing to draw with. You don't have nothing to draw with. How are you gonna get the water? And you don't got nothing to draw with. And uh, and the Lord says, Well, if you go back and hear what I said, I'm gonna say it again. He says, Uh, give me the drink that thou would ask of him, and he would give you living water. So, and whenever you need a drink of this living water, you just got to ask God for it. Glory be to God. Somebody say you got to ask him for it. Uh, you got to ask him for it. You can't sit there and get parched and dried out without asking God for this living water. Watch this. In the book of Luke, chapter 11, brother Mike. In the book of Luke, chapter 11, amen, in the book of Luke, chapter 11, and verse number 9. Amen, verse number 9. Here's the problem with most people in the church that they can't really get filled up with the Spirit of God because they don't want to ask God. So Jesus said, if you knew, you would only ask me. In other words, I have the ability to give you living water. Yeah. Anybody got living water? And then the Bible says, and I say unto you, ask. Ask A S K. A. And it shall be given unto you. Ask. And you shall find, seek, and you shall find. A is ask. S is seek and knock, and it shall be opened unto you. So I want you to look at the acronyms of ask. A, ask, S, seek, k, knock. Tell somebody, just ask. If you need something from God, just ask him. Whatever you're waiting on for God, just ask him. Yes, why don't you just ask God? Hallelujah. Ask God for it. And believe that God is able to give it to you. For here's what he says, for everyone that asks, receiveth. And to him that seeketh, findeth. And to him that knocketh, it shall be open. Somebody say it's going to be open. Then he says, if any son, if a son asks bread of any of you that is a father, will you give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will you give him a serpent? If your son or your daughter asks you for bread, what are you going to give him? You're not going to give him a stone, you're going to give him bread. Right? If you ask a fish, you're not going to give him a serpent, you're going to give them what they ask for. You have to know the sonship or the daughtership between you and your creator. Yes, he's the father of all things. He's your heavenly father. And then he says to them, or if he asks an egg, will you offer him a scorpion? If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask? Tell somebody, you just got to ask. You just got to ask. You're not asking them. Yes, you got to ask God. Whatever you need, He's able to give it to you. Whatever you need, God will provide it. Yes, whatever you need, God's got it. All you got to do is ask Him for it. Don't be shy. Just ask God for it. God, I need you to do something for me. God, I need you to help me, God, on today. I need God for you to work it out. Somebody just asked. I asked the Lord, and the Lord blessed me with it. I sought the Lord, then the Lord gave it to me. I knocked on the door, and the door was open unto me. Just ask God. Slack somebody high five said. Just ask him. Just ask the Lord.

Amen, Pastor.

SPEAKER_00

Just ask him. Hallelujah. Just ask the Lord. Just ask him. Just ask him. You need the Holy Ghost? Ask God. You need God to touch you? Ask God. You need something from the Lord? Ask God. And God's gonna do it. He's not a man that he should lie, not a son of man that he should repent. If he said it, God gonna do it. Hallelujah. The Bible says here, Brother Mike in John chapter 4. Let me pick this back up. John chapter 4. And then he says in verse uh number 10, Jesus answered, If thou knowest the gift of God, and who it is that say unto thee, give me drink, thou would have asked of me, and I would have given thee living water. All you gotta do is ask. All you gotta do is ask. You receive not because you ask not. And when you ask, you ask amiss. That you might consume it upon your flesh. In other words, there's a right way to ask God. Hallelujah. Yes, your motivation's got to be right. Glory to God. Just ask. Now watch this. The woman said unto him, verse number 11, Brother Mike. The woman said, Sir, you got nothing to draw with. And the well is deep. Now she didn't understand that Jesus Christ is the well. He is the well of living water. He is the source that springs up to eternal life. Hallelujah. Yes, he is the way, the truth, and the life. He's the well. Yes, that is able to quench your thirst. He's the well. Here's what he said. Watch this. I'm gonna help some of y'all out this morning. I'm gonna show you. She said, You got nothing. You got nothing. You got nothing to draw with. The well is too deep. And you feel like you're on empty. Got a bite. But you don't have the tools to go down and get it. Oh, glory to God. I'm gonna help somebody this morning. I'm gonna help somebody who wants to get full of God. I'm gonna show you how to draw from God. Yes? She said, You don't got nothing to draw it. In other words, you ain't got nothing to let it down in the well and pull it back up to you. Right? I'm gonna show you this morning how to let it go down deep and come up with some living water full of the power of God. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. And so he says, he says, the woman said, You you can got nothing to draw with. And that's what the devil does. He makes the saints think that you ain't got nothing to draw from. Yes. He'll make you think, amen, God ain't paying you no mind. And God don't care about that. And you you you you in the position that you're gonna stay in, but you got to learn how to draw from the well. Yes, they might want to know how to draw from the well. You got to learn how to draw from the well. When things get tight and things go awry, and the devil's attacking your mind, you got to learn how to draw from the well. He's a well of living water. Yes, you got to learn how to draw. And a lot of times people can't get what they need because they're not been taught how to draw. There's a way that you got to draw from God, and the main way is you can't let your situation cause you to pull back from God. God's giving us something to draw from the well. How many of y'all really want to draw from the well? Yeah, some of y'all need a drink in here this morning. How many of y'all need a drink of the Holy Ghost? Yes, I'm gonna teach you how to draw from the well. Because the well is already there. You just got to learn how to draw from it. He says, uh, he says, uh, watch this in the book of Isaiah, chapter 12, brother Mike. Then I gotta get ready to go. The book of Isaiah, chapter 12, and verse 2 and 3. I'm gonna teach you how to draw. Watch this. Verse 2 says, uh, Behold, God is my salvation. Is anybody's salvation? Is he your savior? If he's your savior, tell God, thank you right now. God is my salvation. I will trust, tell somebody I'm gonna trust him, and not be afraid. God is not giving us that spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind. You can't draw from the well if you don't know who God is, if you don't trust him, if you don't, if you're afraid to get down and draw from the well. Alright? Watch this. And Jehovah God is my strength. Come here, he's your strength. He's strengthening you right now by the word of God. Not only is he my strength, but he's my song. He's my song in the middle of despair. You've ever been going through something, God give you a song, and you sing a song, don't even know the word, don't make sense, but you just start singing. I saw you get your strength, Teresa, when you started to sing. You kept singing, and God kept strengthening you, even with the loss of your cousin. But you got up and you said, The Lord is my song, God Almighty. I need about three of them to know that the Lord is your song. The Lord is your song. Yes, he's your song. Yes, he is your song, yes, he's your strength. For the joy of the Lord is your strength, and sometimes situations cause you to lose your joy. That's when you got to learn how to draw. Yes, he says, and he is my song, he also has become my salvation, which means that no matter what I get myself into or what comes unto me, God is able to pull me out of it. Uh, he's going to pull somewhere out of something in a few minutes. In a few minutes, hallelujah. How many of y'all need God to pull you out of something? Well, you've got to get in the well. You got to draw from the well, not draw from your own intellect, not draw from your friends, not draw from your people that you know. You got to draw from the well. Yes, you got to draw from the well. He says, Therefore, with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of your salvation. Now, the way that you had to draw with is by joy. Because the joy of the Lord is your strength, and you've got to keep your joy in order for you to draw out of that well when it appears to be you don't have nothing to draw with. I have something. What are you drawing with? I'm drawing with joy. It's the joy of the Lord that gets me full of the Holy Ghost. When the devil is fighting me on this side, and the devil's fighting me on that side. I learned to keep my joy. Hallelujah. Anybody got joy? The joy of the Lord is your strength. Joy bells ringing in my soul. I learned to keep my focus on God. That's why I say hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. I run, I shout, I dance. What are you doing, preacher? I'm drawing water out of the well of my salvation. You ever notice people getting the Holy Ghost? As soon as you get the Holy Ghost, you get the Holy Ghost because number one, you're asking them, Jesus, Jesus. And then number two, the Jesus that you're talking about and calling begins to feel good to you. And you begin to say, Jesus, with tears running down your eyes. And then Jesus begins to feel real good to you because joy begins to overtake you. And then God fills you up with the Holy Ghost. I wonder how God did the Holy Ghost filled people in their own today. I'm drawing from the joy with joy. I'm drawing from the wells of salvation. Yes. You can't let your circumstance keep you down. God gave you joy. Joy is the fruit of the Spirit. Yes, as a man thinketh of his heart, so is he. So you can walk around and let the devil beat you up, or you can just get up and say, With joy, I bless God. And I want to bless the Lord today. Do me a favor. Just tell the Lord, hallelujah. And need it from your heart. Hallelujah. I feel something bubbling up. Tell God, hallelujah. I feel something bubbling up. Say hallelujah. Joy coming upon the words of salvation. Somebody say hallelujah. You're going to have to have this joy. Glory to God. You're going to have to have this joy outside of the church. You're going to have to have this joy when you're all alone. You're going to have to have this joy when the devil's attacking you. When the devil is putting people up against you. You're going to have to know how to draw out of the well. Yes, you're going to have to have this joy. Which means that you can't let your current situation stop you from blessing your God. Hallelujah. Yes, hallelujah. I feel the Lord. I feel some water bubbling up. Now, some of y'all, some of y'all well so dry. Then you're going to take a little bit more priming.

unknown

Oh God.

SPEAKER_00

Take a little bit more priming. No, you put water in the pump. You're going to take a little more priming. So we got to pull that water up. You got to have some joy. Somebody say hallelujah. Where your joy at? Where your joy at? Alright, where your joy at? Amen. Hallelujah. Yes. He says, Brother Mike in John chapter 4. I'm going to take my joy and I'm going on up the road. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Yes. Y'all not going to kill my spirit. Glory to God. Y'all not gonna clog my contaminate my well. The devil is a liar. Yes, I can feel God all by myself in the name of the Lord. Hallelujah. Yes, you're gonna have to know how to draw from the well. Yes, I got joy bells ringing in my soul. Got problems? Got situations? Got no sleep last night. But I got joy bells ringing in my soul. Because the joy of the Lord is my strength. Yes, yes, I got up here. I was tired. I feel good now. Anybody feel good? Where y'all joy at? Where your joy at? Y'all have to be running and hollering. God, I thank you. Yes, you your cup needs to be full. You'd have lost the thing to draw from the well. What is the thing? You'd have lost your joy. Yes, where's the joy at? Where's the joy at a serving God? Where's the joy of coming to church? Where's the joy of living for God? Where's your joy at? Joy bells ringing in my soul. Yes. Yes. Yes, her come, brother Fred. I'm going to get out of here. Yes. I'm taking my joy, me and my wife on up the road. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Yes. Hallelujah. How many of y'all ever had that old pump outside, the old well, and you had to pump it, look at TJ and say, yeah. And uh you'd go out there, and that joker was he's just shh shh it nothing coming out of the air. Then you had to go get a bucket of water. Now, if you didn't save a bucket of water, you was in trouble. And so you had to take that water and put it inside the well and prime it. My God. Put a little bit more water in it. That's how I feel like I'm doing today. Shoot, shoot, shoot. My God. And put some more water in it. Then all of a sudden, then it starts spewing out. Y'all got to learn how to get your joy back. Hallelujah. You got to learn how to have joy in the Lord. You got to throw it up in the air and say, For God I live and for God I die. Yes, you got to learn how to walk in joy. You've got to learn how to walk in joy. Stop walking in your feelings. Serving God ain't about feelings. Serving God is about knowing who He is. And He's the drug of your salvation. Love it be to God. Hallelujah. Ain't about feelings. It's about knowing who He is. The woman at the well didn't know who He was. He said, You would have asked me drink if you knew who I was. I just want to know if anybody really know who the Lord is. Glory to God. I know who He is. He's a very present help in a time of trouble. Anybody in the trouble at the end of the day? Yes, let the joy of the Lord be your strength. Hallelujah. Yeah. I feel some water coming out of the pump now. Yeah, I wonder if it's coming out of your pump. Yeah. Somebody say hallelujah. Somebody say hallelujah. The joy of the Lord is my strength. Glory. Glory. Yeah, this is living water. You can't quench me. The Bible said, quench not the spirit. You can't quench me. You can't stop me from flowing. Yes, you can't stop God from moving in me. Hallelujah. I know what God is to me. Yes, I know what God means to me. Yes, there's nothing too hard for God. Yes, hallelujah. I got to go now. I got to go. Here's what he said. Here's what he said. And then she said, Art thou greater than our father Jacob? Which gave us this well? Then he knows she was talking to. And drank thereof himself, his children, and his cattle. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, natural water, shall thirst again. I drank water all day yesterday. Got up all night long, went to the bathroom. Woke up this morning, I'm still thirsty. Drank water all day long. Still thirsty. Glory to God. But somebody said, But whosoever drink of this water, this living water, that I shall give him, shall never thirst. Now, Jesus said in verse number 10, if you knew the gift of God and who it is that saith unto you, Give me drink, thou would ask of him. And he would give thee living water. He says in verse 14, but whosoever drinketh the water that I give him, that I give him. So he says in 10, ask him. Then he says in verse number 14, I'm gonna give it. So I'm the Him that you're asking, which is Jesus Christ. You gotta ask Jesus for it. Glory to God. Jesus! That's why we say, call on Jesus. What are you asking me for? I'll ask you for living water. The water that I shall give him, he shall never thirst. But the water I shall give him shall be in him a well. A well of water springing up into everlasting life. So what is it to have the well of water but don't know how to draw it? Glory be to God. You have a well, but don't know how to draw it up. The loss of joy can't get the water up out of you. Yes, but when you really got joy, like the Bible says, Amen. You know how to draw the water up in the name of the Lord. We're gonna draw it up this morning in Jesus' name. Listen to this. The woman said, Sir, I don't want to thirst again. This water you're talking about, give me this water that I thirst neither. Come here again to draw. I'm tired of my situation. And if you give me this living water, I won't have to come here and get this draw from this well again. I have a well springing up to everlasting life. Oh God, hallelujah. Yes, the well is in you. Tell somebody the well is in you. It's in you. You just got to learn how to draw from the well. She says, sir, give me this water. That's what y'all ought to be saying this morning. Sir, give me some more of this water. Help me to draw it up out of me. Because I'm thirsty. And I need a drink. Anybody thirsty and need a drink of living water? I'm thirsty and need a drink of living water. Show me, God, how to draw it up again. Watch this. Jesus said unto her, Before I give you this water, I got to deal with your sin. Go call thy husband and come hither. Go get your husband. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. He said unto her, You said well that you have no husband. For you have had five husbands. And who that you now have is not my husband. Is that sadly the truth? Now you find out why the woman was going to the well all by herself. The woman had had five husbands. And it just didn't work out for her. She was looking for the wrong water. She was thirsting after the wrong thing. But when you're hungry and thirst after righteousness, you shall be filled. I want you to hear what I'm saying. She was thirsting after a man. And her marriages did not work out. Y'all know the saying y'all say, Are you thirsty? Yes, y'all know y'all said, Are you thirsty? Oh, he's thirsty. I'm thirsty. Yeah, you want a man. But you were seeking after the wrong water. He said, You've had four. And now you just throw your hand in the air, you give up on marriage. Now you just shacking up with somebody. Oh boy. Oh boy, I got to go now. I got to go now. Woof. Yes. Oh yes. Oh yes. You just throw your hands in there now. Amen. No marriage ain't for me, so I'm just gonna live with them. Glory. But Jesus still wants to give you something. Amen. But he wants you to know that he's the wealth. And all your needs is in him. And so you failed at everything else. But God don't want you to fail at this relationship with him. Hallelujah. Oh, glory to God. Thou hast had five husbands, and whom thou now have is not thy husband. Is that sad? Thou truly? And that you say truly, you had no husband. Because the one you got down ain't yours. The woman said unto him, sir, I perceive that you're a prophet. Good God almighty. You'd have told me all about what's going on with me. Hallelujah. I know that you got to be a prophet. You'd have just read my whole life. You'd have just said everything that I'm going through, and I'm coming here to get water in a hot moon day, but I'm really thirsty for a different life. I'm thirsty for something different. Anyone thirsting for something different? I'm thirsty for something different. I'm tired of coming here hauling water. I'm tired of living like this. I need something up from God to quench this thirst. The thirst of being lonely, the thirst of being alone, the thirst of being pushed aside. I need something from God. Anybody really thirsty to need something from God? Jesus said, Your father's worshiping this mountain, and you say that Jerusalem is the place where you ought to worship. Jesus unto her, Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh and now is. And this, neither in this mountain, nor yet Jerusalem. The time cometh and now it is. When you shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father. For you worship know not what you worship. For we know that we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But watch this. We know that salvation is of the Jews. However, Jesus needed to go to Samaria. Because there was other sheep that are not of this folk. And he said, Them I shall also bring with me. Yes, he went into a place where nobody wanted to go, so he could encounter a woman that nobody liked, and even her own people had ostracized. He went for that woman, that woman who was tired of hauling water around, that woman that needed something different. That woman that was thirsty after something different and she received from the Lord. Aren't you tired of the status quo? Aren't you thirsty for something different? Thirsty for something new? Don't you want your cup filled with the presence of God? Living water. Clap your hands if you want your cup filled. Okay. I want you to see this for I go. Jesus said, but the hour cometh. And now it is when the true worshipper shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father seeketh such to worship him. So Jesus bridged the gap of ethnicity. He bridged the gap of loneliness and hurt just so he could make himself another worshiper. Where are my worshipers at here this morning? Who worship him in spirit and truth? Who don't give up in the midst of the storm, but learn how to raise your hand and glorify God in everything that you're going through. Where are my worshipers at? In spirit and in truth. You can't worship God without the Spirit of God. You can't worship God without living water. And you cannot worship God with living water and not in truth. You must know the truth of God's word in spirit and truth. If it's not spirit and truth, it is not true worship. It's a form of godliness, but the nine the power thereof. But there are some true worshipers that know God for who He is and worship Him in spirit and truth. Lift your hands, true worshipers, and worship the Lord in spirit and truth. Yes. The true worshippers. The true worshippers. The true worshipers aren't ashamed. The true worshippers know how to draw water. The true worshipers say, though he's slaying, yet will I trust in him. The true worshipers. Ain't afraid to get their hands dirty. Ain't afraid to prostrate on their face. The true worshipers stand on the truth of God's word. They don't back down, they don't push back, but they stand on the word of God. Because God gets glory out of the truth. He desires truth out of the inward parts. The true worshipers. Yes. The true worshipers. They don't walk in the spirit of error. They walk in truth. You should know the truth. It's going to make you free. They're the true worshipers. They go through hell and high water. They spend some lonely nights. Spend some hurtful time. They don't retaliate. But they lift their hands and worship the God. Worship is your weapon. That's your worship. The true worshippers. They're worshiping God now. And some of these churches with no spirit. And they think they're worshiping them with no truth. But God is not getting any glory out of that. It's spirit and truth. And you're with the spirit and truth. You can boldly lift your hands and say, The Lord is my helper. I should not be afraid what man can do to me. The Lord is your helper. Tell somebody the Lord is your helper. The Lord is your helper. How am I going to get out of that? I don't need to know the Lord is my helper. The Lord is your helper.

The Lord is my helper. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even my enemies, came up against me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and they fell. Or there were host in the camp about me. One thing that I desire, that I might dwell in the house of the Lord to inquire in his temple. Somebody say hallelujah. The Lord is my light and my salvation. The Lord is. So you can draw water out of your well. You're losing your strength. Because you're losing your joy. You're losing your joy of serving God. Therefore, you're losing your strength. But when you get your joy back, listen to me real good. Here's how you know when you got your joy back. When you got your joy back, you'll run again. You'll loop again. You'll yell again. You'll lift your hands again in the sanctuary of God. Because you got your joy back. Yes. Yes.

But in spirit and in truth. You can be against all. And the devil can be beating the hell in your door. I'm telling you, you got the real world. And uh you can be on Devil tell you to throw in the towel. And he can almost convince you to throw it in. And he can talk to you and tell you it ain't nothing working, you might as well just go back. Now watch this. When you throw in the towel, throw it back at me. This is how you know you got a real Holy Ghost. When you try to throw in the towel, something throws the tower back at you. And that's the Holy Ghost telling you, uh uh, you ain't giving up with me. And I'm not the feeling of you. It's been picking up and running out. Rumble joy. From the joy. That was sat before it.

SPEAKER_00

With joy. Yes. So you want to throw in the towel. You got the real Holy Ghost, he'll throw it back at you. And make you pick it up and run on. Glory to God. I'm preaching for y'all amen. But I gotta get out here. I gotta meet at 12:30. Listen to me. The woman said unto him, I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ. When he is come, he will tell us all things. She still doesn't know who he is. She's still waiting, just like the Jews are today, waiting on the Messiah. Don't you know who he is? Waiting on him. God didn't already give you what you need. The Bible said he gives us all things that pertain to life and godliness when he gave us the Holy Ghost. Already put it in. It's in the well. It's in the well. Lord, I need you. It's in the well. You got to learn how to draw from it. God, I need you to help. It's in the well. God, I need you to work it. It's in the well. God, I need the aunt. It's in the well. You just gotta learn how to draw from the well. It's already in you. What the Bible says. Jesus said unto her, I that speak unto thee am He. I'm who you've been waiting for. Glory to God. Anybody waiting on the Lord? Yes, I'm who you're waiting on. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Yes, I'm He. You've been talking to me the whole time. I purposely came through Samaria and I purposely sat on the well just so I could introduce myself to you. And upon this came his disciples. They marveled that he talked with the woman. Yet no man says, What seeketh thou, or what talket thou with her? And the woman left her water pot and went her way into the city and said, Come see a man. Which taught me all things that ever I did, is this not the Christ? She calls him a prophet. He spoke to her about everything she did in her life. It's significant for you to draw from the well. Let me have that. It's imperative. She went back and told them that this is the cry. This woman was ostracized. This woman was beat out and was carrying water in high noonday by herself to go drink from a well. But Jesus was laying there waiting for her. And when he waited for her, he revealed himself to her. And when he revealed himself to her, she realized he was the Messiah. And she wanted this living water. And so what she did was she took off her water pot. And she left it. Because she now, this water pot represents her past. It represents her hungering after a man. It represents her failures and her destruction. It represents her loneliness. It represents something that is natural, but she's come into contact with something that's supernatural. So she leaves her past behind. And she runs back and says, Come see a man. He's got to be the Messiah. Yes, I wonder if anybody is thirsty. See, when you meet Christ, the first thing you've got to do is to leave your past behind in the name of the Lord. You're not the old person that you once was. You left that behind. And now you're sitting in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. You need to leave your weight behind, behind the things that kept you represented with your past, the failures of your relationship, the failures of your marriage, the failure not belonging. She left it behind. And she went into the city and said, Come and see a man. Which taught me everything. See, you can't draw water except first you leave the old things behind. Learn to draw with joy. You're not the old person you used to be. So why are you still trying to handle situations the old way? We're a new creation in Christ Jesus. And you've got to learn to get connected and leave that old habit behind, leave those old traits behind. You've got to leave those things behind and go forward in God. Yes, I need somebody who's ready to leave their water pot behind today. I know what they said, I know what they did. I need somebody who wants some living water. We're gonna draw from the well on today. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, thank you, Sister Beverly, for your water. But I want some folk that are ready to leave their old water pots behind. You don't need to draw that type of water. You need to draw living water. We've got to stop walking in our old nature. We've got to stop walking in the old us and walk in the new us. Yes, I left my water pot behind. Which means I ain't coming in this world to draw for water no more. I'm going to this supernatural world. And everything that I need is in Christ. I'm drawing for that. And I'm drawing with joy. Can you imagine that woman come back? Come see a man. Come see a man that told me all things which I ever did. Come meet Jesus. Well, we're gonna have a coming together, Jesus meeting today. And those you want to draw from your well, I want you to leave behind every negative thing somebody's ever told you, every disappointment that you have, every bad relationship that you have, everything that the devil's trying to do to you got to leave it behind. Then you got to draw with joy out of the wells of your salvation, and God's gonna bless you, and you can leave out of here. Somebody say, Lord, give me this water. I need some more water. Fill my cup till it runneth over. I will leave everything behind just to get a fresh touch of this living water. Somebody begin to clap for the Lord. You got to leave that water pot behind. In other words, I'm not gonna need that anymore. I don't have to come here at high noon. I got all the answers from him that spoke to me at the well. And I know that he is the well. Let's bring us up to eternal life in the name of the Lord. Let's clap for the Lord. Let's stand in the name of the Lord. The Lord is giving you instruction how to draw. How to draw. How to draw for the way. And God is not gonna do everything for us.
