And we need your water. 48 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,120 We need to be filled with your water. 49 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,120 So we're overflowing with it in order to live it out. 50 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,840 God, I pray this blessing over our hearts in Jesus name. 51 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,800 Now if you would right where you're at, if you would ask 52 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,040 Jesus, Jesus, if he would speak to you today, just you and him, 53 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:37,280 just take a moment.

Thank you. 57 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,480 God, pray this in Jesus name, Amen. 58 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,040 Amen. So do you know what this is 59 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,480 People in the back are like, I don't know, it doesn't look like 60 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,840 much. I can hardly see that. 61 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,959 But other people in the front are like, Yep, you're going to 62 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:22,720 mansplain a candle to us faster, Drew, And yes, I am. 63 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,560 I am going to try this is like a pinkish purple candle. 64 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,760 I can't really tell if it's pink or purple. 65 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,320 All y'all are like, he's colorblind. 66 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:38,760 What's happening? But by itself, we look at a 67 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,800 candle and and it's not all that extraordinary, right? 68 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:50,480 It's just like this stick of wax, but when you put a flame on 69 00:04:50,480 --> 00:05:00,360 it, it becomes extraordinary. It lights up a room. 70 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,240 It's what it was created to do, right? 71 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:13,160 And every person, we were created to host the flame of the 72 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:22,080 living God without Him. Honestly, you are extraordinary 73 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,800 already because you were made in His image. 74 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,960 But when the Spirit of the living God is put on our lives, 75 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,800 we become supernatural in what He does through our lives and 76 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,480 what He fills us to do. And that's what we want to talk 77 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,400 about today. You and I are the light of the 78 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,120 world, a city on a hill, salt of the earth. 79 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,760 And God is calling us up today. He's saying rise up, rise up. 80 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,080 I've given you a supernatural calling for I'm a supernatural 81 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,280 God. And we're going to talk about 82 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:07,680 how we step in to that today. So we're going to start in 83 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Matthew 10, verses 7:00 and 8:00, and we see Jesus, this 84 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:20,160 master disciple, Maker, He's helping his disciples learn how 85 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,880 to do ministry. Now, up until this point, He's 86 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,240 been preaching the gospel with power, right? 87 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,520 He's been healing the sick, cleansing the leper, raising the 88 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,480 dead, casting out demons, and He's freely giving the Kingdom 89 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,400 away. He's doing this powerful 90 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,520 ministry. He is the Messiah, the Son of 91 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,680 God. And then we come to this passage 92 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,800 and he tells his disciples what they're called to do. 93 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,360 And let's read what he tells his disciples to do. 94 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,440 He tells his disciples as you go proclaim this message, the 95 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,360 Kingdom of heaven has come near. He's like, it's not out there. 96 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,320 It's not some idea that oh, I hope God moves because he's kind 97 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,880 of in heaven, but I don't know where he is. 98 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,080 No, he says the presence of God, the Kingdom of God, his power is 99 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,440 here. It's right here is what he's 100 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,920 saying. And then he says in verse 8, he 101 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,680 says, heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have 102 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:30,680 leprosy, drive out demons freely received freely gift. 103 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,480 So I don't know if it's as startling to you, but when I 104 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,720 first saw that this what this was actually saying, I was like, 105 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:47,440 wait a minute, Jesus is saying that the same ministry he did is 106 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,240 the ministry is calling his disciples to do like that just 107 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,280 blew my mind. I was like, wait, it's not a 108 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,640 lesser ministry. It's it's not, it's not like 109 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,840 Jesus did this and he's calling his disciples to do this because 110 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,320 they're not him. He's like, no, it's the same 111 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,560 power, it's the same spirit. It's the same Lord that is in US 112 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:16,480 working in and through. And so as disciples, when you 113 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,000 see what they did, you can look in Luke 10 and see how they went 114 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,760 out and, and they did what Jesus is saying. 115 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,720 They went out and they ministered just like Jesus and 116 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,400 they came back and they were astonished. 117 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,480 They're like, Oh my goodness, we did it and and we're doing all 118 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,120 the things that you were doing and even the demons were 119 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,919 listening to us and we commanded them in Jesus name. 120 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:42,760 They did what we told them to do and Jesus being the master, 121 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,560 disciple, maker and encourage her that he is, he's like, gosh, 122 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,680 he's like when you were ministering, he's like, I saw 123 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:53,000 Satan fall like lightning because my Kingdom has come. 124 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,720 We're doing this and like he's pumping him up. 125 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,680 He's helping him see what he's empowered to do, what he's 126 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:05,360 empowered him to do. So they were able to live the 127 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,800 same ministry Jesus lived. And then we come to Matthew 2819 128 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,680 through 20, which is what we know is the Great Commission, 129 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:17,240 right? This is Our Calling. 130 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,920 This is Jesus calling all disciples after his disciples 131 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,760 and what he's calling them to do. 132 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,120 And it says this, It says, go and make disciples of all 133 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,640 nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son 134 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,760 and the Holy Spirit. So he says, go, make disciples, 135 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,760 baptize them. And then he says this, teaching 136 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,280 them to obey everything I've commanded you, for I'm with you 137 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:52,120 always to the end. Now what did he tell his 138 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,640 disciples to do? He told his disciples to preach 139 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,440 the gospel. He told him to say that God is 140 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,440 coming close through Jesus, through what he did on the 141 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,600 cross, through his resurrection. The veil was torn and all 142 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,240 separation from God was removed and God came in close once 143 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,320 again. And now we have access is what 144 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,720 he's saying. He said go preach the gospel. 145 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,480 And he said heal the sick, cleanse the leper, cast out 146 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,360 demons, raise the dead freely, give the Kingdom away just like 147 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,080 me. And he's telling us, he's 148 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,120 saying, all right, disciples, now when you go make disciples, 149 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:39,840 I want you to teach them to do the same thing, not a lesser 150 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,640 thing, not a lesser calling. It's the same Spirit. 151 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,480 It's the same Lord. It's the same one who empowers 152 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,880 us to do the ministry of the gospel that empowered Jesus. 153 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,480 This is the Holy Spirit in our lives and for all who have 154 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,000 trusted in Jesus. This is Our Calling. 155 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,240 Now for some of us, we may be like, what in the world? 156 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,320 How, how are we supposed to do that? 157 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,560 Like you're asking us to do something impossible with. 158 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,840 Let me just encourage you with this. 159 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,920 There is a reason that your calling is bigger than your 160 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,720 capacity. You, you remain that way on 161 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:35,320 purpose because we need Him. We need Him in order to live out 162 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,640 what He's called us to live. Look, I really don't care about 163 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,680 the supernatural unless Jesus cares about it. 164 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,920 But because it's a part of the calling He's given us, I care 165 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,040 about Him. I want what is in Him and what 166 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,880 He's called us to, to fill me and to fill you so that we can 167 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:00,600 go out for His glory, so we can do what he's called us to do, to 168 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:09,320 be a light into the world. Now you may say, yeah, but Drew, 169 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,560 why don't we see this happening as much? 170 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,600 And I'm, I'm going to testify something to you. 171 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,920 I don't say this out of anything, but just what Jesus 172 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,040 can do. I see this all the time and so 173 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,720 the question is, who are we hanging out? 174 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,600 We may think we don't see as much supernatural, but it's 175 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,920 happening. The Kingdom is still moving. 176 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,400 He's the same God yesterday, today and forever. 177 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,320 And I see people get healed and I see people get prophesied over 178 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,280 and I see demons get cast out a lot. 179 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,120 Again, this has nothing to do with me, has everything to do 180 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,960 with what Jesus has called his people to do. 181 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,720 And when we receive this gospel, receive what he wants to do, the 182 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,360 fullness of Christ in me. This is Galatians 220. 183 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,920 When we receive not, it's not I who live, but Christ who lives 184 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,280 in me, what God will do through our lives. 185 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:15,800 It's wonderful, but there's a reason why Our Calling is bigger 186 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,800 than our capacity. It's because we need the Lord. 187 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,680 One more thing and then I'm going to talk about how we get 188 00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:30,520 filled up with the Lord. That's how we live the 189 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,960 supernatural life. John 1412, some of y'all might 190 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,960 be here today saying, OK, I don't know about this. 191 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,760 That's crazy. We're called to do the same 192 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,360 things Jesus did. John 1412 says Whoever believes 193 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,640 in me will do the works that I do in greater. 194 00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:57,560 Now, what's awesome about this is he doesn't say the 12 are 195 00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:59,920 going to do the works that I do in greater. 196 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,440 And he doesn't say the religious elite will do the works that I 197 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,480 do. And even greater, he doesn't say 198 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,800 the pastors and the elders are going to do the works that I do. 199 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:16,840 And even greater, he says all who believe, whoever believes in 200 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:23,440 me, that's, that's all of us. Whoever believes in Jesus will 201 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,200 do the same works. And even greater, I, I want to 202 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,880 hopefully burst some bubbles in here this morning that the 203 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,480 hierarchy of the Kingdom is 2 levels. 204 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,600 There's Jesus and then there's everybody else there. 205 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,640 There is no religious elite. There is no, oh, that person can 206 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,800 do it because they're, I don't know, pastor, priest, whatever. 207 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,120 I don't know what we think, but I'm no different than you. 208 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,880 I have no more access than to Jesus than you. 209 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,520 We have all been given full access to the living God and he 210 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,240 comes upon us and he wants to move through it. 211 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:09,000 Praise God. And I joyfully say this because 212 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,200 this is the good news. Jesus is accessible, just as 213 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,360 accessible to you as he is to anyone. 214 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,360 I want to demolish some things this morning, some some lies 215 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,120 that the enemy has told us. And I feel like the enemy is 216 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,840 trying to whisper it even now. But yeah, I feel like the enemy 217 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,160 is trying to say, yeah, but you're unworthy. 218 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,760 And this is the lie that I believe for years that I was too 219 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,840 unworthy to embrace the Lord in this way, that I was too 220 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,480 unworthy to let God move in my life in this way. 221 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,680 And and the Lord, he kept convincing me of how close he 222 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:02,320 is. And he, and he told me, he said, 223 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,360 he says, Son has nothing to do with how unworthy you are. 224 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,960 He said, yes, you have sinned, but my I have paid the price for 225 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,880 your sin upon the cross. And I just want to speak this 226 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:21,600 over hearts this morning that it's not about how deep of sin 227 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,960 that we are in. It's about how great of a savior 228 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,600 he is that his blood can wash us clean. 229 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,560 And for all who trust in Jesus, it's not about whether I can be 230 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,280 enough. It's the fact that he is enough 231 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,120 for me. Now, on the flip side of that, 232 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,360 we think, yeah, but he's holy. And I'm, I'm, I'm imperfect. 233 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,080 Now, maybe this is just me that has felt this in the past, but 234 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,240 maybe some of you can identify with this, but you feel 235 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,880 imperfect coming before a holy God and wanting to embrace 236 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,040 whatever he wants to do, wanting to embrace his presence in your 237 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,280 life. And what the Lord taught me was 238 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,359 that he created Adam and Eve in the garden. 239 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:16,839 He created them so he could have companions. 240 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,839 He doesn't need them. He doesn't need us. 241 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,440 But he loves Adam and Eve and he loves us and he wants to be with 242 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,440 us. So the point of whether I am 243 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,960 worthy to be with him is less important than he wants to be 244 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,160 with me and he wants to be with you. 245 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,880 And I kept doing this to God. I'm not. 246 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,360 I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy God. 247 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,160 And he kept saying what about me? 248 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,880 He's like what, what what about what I want? 249 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,280 I want you. I want to be with you. 250 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,120 And I would encourage every heart this morning that feels 251 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:58,480 like I don't know how to get past this wall of unworthiness, 252 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,120 this wall of feeling like I can't because he's too great 253 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,280 when he is coming to you and he's saying I love you and he's 254 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,560 like this, just step in. I've loved you all your life 255 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,240 than before and I just want you to step in. 256 00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:25,180 So we have a supernatural God. He's given us a supernatural 257 00:18:25,180 --> 00:18:29,220 calling and I'm trying to just whet our appetite to see, for us 258 00:18:29,220 --> 00:18:32,340 to see what it takes to live out that supernatural calling. 259 00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:36,900 And it's, it's as simple as this, to drink the living water 260 00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:41,560 that Jesus would give you to get filled up to overflowing with 261 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,040 Jesus. And This is why I'm trying to 262 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,440 remove these walls, remove hindrances that would keep us 263 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,680 from coming in close to Jesus because he wants to be with you 264 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,200 and he's so close. But let's look at John four. 265 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:01,680 I want to talk about the woman at the well and Jesus's 266 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:08,040 experience with her. Now, I don't know if any of you 267 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:14,320 can identify with this, but this woman, she comes to this well 268 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:20,400 and she is pretty cynical. And we know from the story, 269 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,400 she's been married at least four times. 270 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,800 The guy she's with right now, she's not even married to Jesus 271 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,160 knows this prophetically and speaks it to her. 272 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,760 But from this, we know women, they can't even they weren't 273 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,040 lawfully allowed to divorce their husbands back in that day. 274 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:45,040 So she was rejected 4 times. So she feels this relational 275 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,160 trauma in her heart and she steps into this conversation. 276 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,040 She's coming to the well at a time in the day when no one else 277 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,440 is there and that reveals that she didn't want to be around 278 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,480 anyone else. She wanted to be alone. 279 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,880 She wanted to get her water and and go about her business and be 280 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,000 at home. She didn't want all the 281 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,720 judgmental looks. She didn't want the to feel 282 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,640 misunderstood as she continually felt misunderstood. 283 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:20,120 Maybe we have some people that I felt misunderstood in life today 284 00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:25,760 here in. Jesus is waiting, just as he did 285 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,200 for the woman at the well, and he wants to give you living 286 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,960 water. But the woman, she, she walks up 287 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,960 and Jesus is there now. Now, I don't know if you've ever 288 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,280 been around someone that's filled with life and filled with 289 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,320 joy and, and every time they see you, they're excited to be 290 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,000 around you and they love you. And, and I, if you want, if you 291 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,800 want some more of this, then one of the most wonderful examples 292 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,800 of this that I know of is Pastor Valdemir right here. 293 00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:00,520 If you would hold your hand up, Pastor Valdemir, this man is 294 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,400 filled with the joy and the love of God and when you get around 295 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,920 him, he, he genuinely wants to be around you. 296 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,480 He's like Jesus and like she gives you a hug, you know, it 297 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,400 makes you feel special. He's like, I love you. 298 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,360 I'm like, I love you, you know, like thank you, you know, but 299 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,280 this is what I believe Jesus being there at the well was like 300 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,040 that day. He's filled with life, he's 301 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,800 filled with joy. He knows God the Father's about 302 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,360 to change this woman's life and he's pumped, he's filled, you 303 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,880 know, the overflowing. And he just got that 304 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,240 anticipation. You know, he's like, it's like, 305 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,320 have you ever seen the people on planes? 306 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,240 You get on a plane and, and if you ever sit next to someone 307 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,480 like this, they're so happy. They're excited. 308 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,320 They just want to talk to you. And maybe you just want to mind 309 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,720 your own business, you know, and, and, and they're like, 310 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,840 they're like, hey, you know, how you doing? 311 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,160 You know, and you're like, Oh my goodness, you know, I got one of 312 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,640 these today. Yeah, it's good to see, you 313 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,800 know, and they're and they're like, they're like, where are 314 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,520 you going? You know, you're like, I'm the 315 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,960 same as you, you know, I'm going to the same place. 316 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,200 But it's good to see you, you know? 317 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,760 But anyway, the point is we know these people when we're not 318 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,280 feeling like talking, it can kind of rub us the wrong way. 319 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,200 And you see this happening in the conversation with Jesus and 320 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,240 the woman at the well, she starts talking to him and 321 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,120 everything he says, she kind of combatively comes back against 322 00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,200 it right now. If you haven't read this story, 323 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,520 I just don't have time to go through the whole story today. 324 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,480 But she's coming with a cynical view. 325 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,440 Jesus is coming with his living water. 326 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:47,440 He wants to give her living water and he knows it's 327 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,600 happening and it's coming and he's talking to her. 328 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,280 He begins by saying, will you give me a drink? 329 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,040 And finally they go through the conversation. 330 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,880 Verse 10. Jesus answered one of her 331 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,800 questions and said, if you knew the gift of God, who it is that 332 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,080 is saying to you, give me a drink, you would have asked him 333 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,160 and he would give you living water. 334 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:19,160 Verse 13 Whoever drinks of the water that I give him will never 335 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,000 be thirsty again. The water that I give him will 336 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,400 becoming him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. 337 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,200 Fast forward in the conversation. 338 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,400 This woman came in wounded, feeling hopeless, wanting to be 339 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,320 alone. Jesus speaks words of life, 340 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,080 words of identity, words of love. 341 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:48,080 He speaks of of the one that she had always hoped would be the 342 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,520 Lord that she worshipped. He speaks of how she would 343 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:56,920 worship Him in spirit and truth, that it wasn't about being of 344 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,600 this people or this race, but but the the way she comes to God 345 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,480 is freely and fully and that he has invites her into this. 346 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,160 And something happens in that conversation as she's in the 347 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,880 presence of the living God, as he's so close and he's speaking 348 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:22,480 these words of life, she gets transformed, so much so that 349 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,400 when the conversation ends, she doesn't even care what she came 350 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,440 there for, which was jugs of water. 351 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,480 It says. She leaves them there and she 352 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,320 runs into the village filled with new life. 353 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,120 And she starts saying, hey, come and see the person who told me 354 00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:41,920 everything about I never did in life and and he is the Messiah. 355 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,160 He's got to be the Messiah. And she's filled with something 356 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,960 new. This is what it's like to be 357 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:59,520 filled with the living water. Now, I believe in the American 358 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:05,880 church, the majority of the American church anyway. 359 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:12,360 We get Jesus in our hearts, in our lives and, and, and in the 360 00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:15,960 very beginning, we get saved and, and we, we get a drink, 361 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,240 right? That's good living water, right. 362 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,360 Thank you, Jesus. Oh my goodness, I've never 363 00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:29,240 experienced this, this hydration that is good for my spirit, that 364 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,360 that brings life into me. And that's why when people get 365 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:36,280 saved and Jesus put their trust in Jesus, they, they're, they're 366 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,400 ignited. There's something that comes 367 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,040 alive in them, right? We've seen it again and again, 368 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:45,760 but we've also seen again and again people after they get 369 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,840 saved, they kind of just start going. 370 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,320 They're like, was that as good as it gets? 371 00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:57,640 But the reality is people, I believe people stop drinking the 372 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,640 water. They stop drinking. 373 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,080 And most people, they believe there's this high when you get 374 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,720 saved, but but there's nothing else after. 375 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,400 But it's only that we're not drinking the water. 376 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,520 We walk around, we're like, I got Jesus, you know, we think 377 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,960 we, we got him and we do. He's right here. 378 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,360 But proximity doesn't get the water in me. 379 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:26,040 I've got to get the water in me. And God was telling me again and 380 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:33,240 again, Come on. God was telling me again and 381 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,000 again when I prep for this message, drink the water. 382 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,440 Tell him to drink the water. Drink the water. 383 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,040 God is a supernatural guy. He's given us a supernatural 384 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,360 calling. Now the only reason I tell you 385 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:55,640 about the calling today is I want you to feel motivated to 386 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,040 step in to drink the water because here's what's happened 387 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,640 in my life. The closer I get to God, the 388 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,560 more I come into contact and receive that He doesn't just 389 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,760 want to be with me, but He's closer than the air I breathe. 390 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,920 And I come in and I commune with Him, and I get to know him. 391 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,840 The more I do this, the more the reality and my heart and my mind 392 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,840 begins to expand. And what I thought love was 393 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,560 before expands. And the lid I had on my life 394 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:33,360 that was limited me just gets tore off and the walls fall down 395 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,040 and I find myself in wide open spaces. 396 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,000 For this is God that rules my life. 397 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,720 And when He rules my life, it's no longer I who lives and all 398 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,800 that I thought I was limited to before. 399 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,880 I'm no longer limited to anymore because all things are possible 400 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:58,360 in Jesus, because Christ in me can do it. 401 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,840 And now when I step into a situation and I'm not perfect at 402 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,000 this, I'm still growing in the Lord. 403 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,760 But when I step into a situation, if I was step in 404 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,880 filled with his living water because I've been drawing close 405 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:23,360 to him, if I was step into that situation and not ask what can I 406 00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:28,440 do? But I can now ask, what can 407 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,720 Jesus do? It's Christ in me. 408 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,480 It's Christ in you. It's no longer whether whether I 409 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,720 can accomplish something, or whether a miracle can be done, 410 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,440 or whether a word can be spoken from His Spirit. 411 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,200 It's Lord. What do you want to do in this 412 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,480 situation? And then as he helps me discern, 413 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:56,960 boom, God does something because of Christ in me. 414 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,840 So how do we receive this water? Say Drew, OK, I get it. 415 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,400 You're saying he's a supernatural God. 416 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,400 He's given us the same calling as Jesus. 417 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,000 But how do we receive this water so we can be filled? 418 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:22,080 And that's that's really what I want to encourage us in today. 419 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,120 Now, as I've told you, just as He came to the woman at the 420 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:33,080 well, He's standing before us today and every day offering us 421 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,840 this water. But we have to be willing to 422 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,480 receive the water. I have to be willing to say I'm 423 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,960 not just going to know that Jesus is there. 424 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,360 I have to let Him love me. I have to let Him pour into me 425 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,800 so that I can love others the way that He loves first, John 426 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,120 419 says. We love because he first loved 427 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,000 us. I can't love the way Jesus loves 428 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,560 unless I'm I'm willing to let him love me. 429 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:13,200 Peter wrestled with this concept just like I do. 430 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:20,880 And Jesus is washing the disciples feet and Peter's like, 431 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,120 you know, you don't wash my feet. 432 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,280 I wash your feet. Your Lord, I'm, I'm unworthy, 433 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,040 you know. And Jesus, he tells Peter this 434 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,160 thing he says, Peter, you don't understand. 435 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,080 If you don't let me wash your feet, you have no pardon me. 436 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,720 If you don't let me fill you, if you don't let me love you, you 437 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,560 have no pardon me. You see the the power that to do 438 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,400 what God has called us to do doesn't come from us trying 439 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,320 harder. It comes from us drinking deeper 440 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,440 of the water that he gives us. It comes from stepping in closer 441 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,400 with Jesus. OK, so how do we do this? 442 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,960 1st, I must become aware that He actually wants to be with me and 443 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,280 I would encourage you. Just as I said, He wants to be 444 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,800 with you. He created you so you could 445 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:25,040 enjoy him. He wants you, He loves you, but 446 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:30,040 not just this He is. He wants to be with you, but 447 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,200 He's so close. Just as I said before Jesus, 448 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,160 when he died on the cross, the veil in the temper that divided 449 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,960 God's presence from us was torn, and now there is no division. 450 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:48,320 Now God is coming close. Ephesians 26 says He seated us 451 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:53,320 with Him in the heavenly places. It says in four and five that he 452 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,280 was so great in his love and mercy that that that he raised 453 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,920 us from our trespasses and sin, our death, and he raised us up 454 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,680 to life in him, and now we're seated with Him in the heavenly 455 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,640 places. This means that are your spirit 456 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,920 and his spirit are like this. We're like this close. 457 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:20,680 We're so close to him. So he wants to be with you and 458 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,360 he's so close. Now if I know that he wants to 459 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,640 be with me and that he's so close, then I read a passage 460 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,920 like Psalm 23 and it is totally different. 461 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,040 It's totally different because he's right there with me and I 462 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,560 and I begin to read the Lord is my shepherd. 463 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,920 Thank you Lord, you, you were right here. 464 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,480 You were my shepherd. I shall not want. 465 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,880 Thank you God, because you provide everything I need. 466 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,000 He makes me lie down in green pasture. 467 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,280 He leads me besides Stillwater. He restores my soul. 468 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,600 Thank you God, You're actively restoring my soul. 469 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,120 You love me and and you've come in close. 470 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,240 He loves you. He's coming close. 471 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,520 And these words are true. Do we see how this is different? 472 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,320 It's different when Jesus walks in the room then thinking of 473 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,960 him, he's, he's out there somewhere. 474 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,240 I hope he gets involved someday, but I don't know when I think of 475 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,320 him out there and then it's like, OK, Psalm 23, the Lord is 476 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,240 my shepherd. I shall not want. 477 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,040 Oh God, I need this to be true. You know what I mean? 478 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,800 But when I recognize who he is, his goodness and His love, that 479 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:43,720 He is here now, He's moving in power, He's resurrect y'all. 480 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:49,640 He loves us so much that he went to the cross for you. 481 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,360 He's like, what stands in the way of me being with them? 482 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,400 I'm going to pay that price. I'm going to do it so they know 483 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,560 how much I love them, so they know they have total access to 484 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,160 me. We've got to know that He's 485 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,920 accessible, that we can just reach out. 486 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,719 He's there. The Kingdom of evidence. 487 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:18,440 It's right here. So if we want to drink the 488 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:24,199 water, know that he wants to be with you and know how close he 489 00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:27,120 is, he's right here. And then I encourage you to pick 490 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,600 up your word. Pick up the word and drink. 491 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:35,360 Just drink it in. Start taking big gulps, start 492 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,639 drinking His love and affection for you. 493 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,520 Start drinking of His goodness in his life. 494 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,440 This takes on a totally different flavor when we start 495 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,639 getting how much He loves us and how good he is. 496 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,320 And what he wants to do in our lives is fill us with him and it 497 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,200 starts to, to transform and change us into something we 498 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:04,360 didn't think was possible. So I encourage you to drink the 499 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:13,970 water. I had this old thing planned for 500 00:35:13,970 --> 00:35:16,930 the end and I'm, I'm just going to skip it because I think the 501 00:35:16,930 --> 00:35:20,770 Lord wants to do something else. But I want to walk us through 502 00:35:20,770 --> 00:35:24,610 something that just reveals how close he is. 503 00:35:27,050 --> 00:35:31,930 And I hope that the the Holy Spirit will just fill you with 504 00:35:31,930 --> 00:35:40,920 his living water. As I said before, Ephesians 26 505 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:46,840 says that we are seated right next to Jesus in the heavenly 506 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,160 places. And then Hebrews 416 invites us 507 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,200 into his throne room. He invites us in. 508 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,400 It says come into the throne of grace. 509 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,400 We receive mercy for your time of need. 510 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,240 He's inviting us. If you've never felt invited 511 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,040 into the presence of God, He's inviting you today. 512 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,880 He's standing before you with living water and he's like, 513 00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:12,920 drink up. Because when we drink up, we 514 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:18,280 become like him. We get filled with him. 515 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,320 Lord, I pray that I'm making this clear enough for hearts, 516 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,320 but I ask that you which speak what I can't. 517 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,480 All right, if you would, we're just going to close our eyes 518 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,520 right now. Remember, Jesus is so close. 519 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:46,920 He's so close. As Paul says, no longer I who 520 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,600 lives, it's Christ who lives in me. 521 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:56,760 He lives in you, He's with you. And so right now, I would just 522 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:07,240 encourage you to visualize Jesus before you visualize him in his 523 00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:12,080 throne room, just as Hebrews 416 says, where he invites us into 524 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:17,680 the throne of grace. Step into his throne room and 525 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,440 picture your King, who is so close in the Spirit to you. 526 00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:33,400 Picture him right there. And as He's right before you, 527 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,640 I'm just going to ask you some questions. 528 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:40,520 They're rhetorical questions for your own heart, just to ponder 529 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,880 as you look at Jesus, what does He look like? 530 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:53,370 What do you see? Encourage you to gaze upon His 531 00:37:53,370 --> 00:38:00,890 face, to look into the eyes of the One who loves more than we 532 00:38:00,890 --> 00:38:06,960 can comprehend, the life giver, the one who is willing to do 533 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,240 anything to rescue you. And look into his eyes. 534 00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:12,800 And what do you see there as he looks at you? 535 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,840 What do you experience in his presence? 536 00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:32,080 And now is you're with your King. 537 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:40,960 If you would just I'm going to ask him to speak to you and I 538 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,040 would just encourage you. Let him tell you whatever he 539 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:50,160 wants. Holy God, I pray that you would 540 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,160 give each heart in here your living water. 541 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:59,880 You would speak your words over their hearts or do whatever you 542 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,520 want. Lord your Lord, you know what 543 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,280 you want to do. I'm just going to give you a 544 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,480 moment with the Lord. Just you and Jesus. 545 00:39:30,450 --> 00:39:33,600 For some of us, we don't really know what's happening. 546 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,880 I just want to encourage you, we're not trying to get spooky. 547 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,360 I just am inviting us to practice how close we are with 548 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,760 the Lord. For some of us, you heard the 549 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:54,000 Lord speak to your hearts today and the Lord is is moving in 550 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,200 you. He's speaking his life, He's 551 00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,080 speaking his identity, He's speaking his love over you. 552 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:05,560 He's calling you up, he's saying rise up, He's saying come into 553 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:11,240 my arms and be filled and I hear him saying I love you. 554 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,800 Now it's one thing to read how God loves us in the Bible and 555 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,360 that is what we find our faith on. 556 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,040 We it's founded on the Bible, but it's another thing when we 557 00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:28,240 meet with Jesus and we hear a spirit whisper I love you and 558 00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:33,720 he's saying this today to you. He's saying I love you and my 559 00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:39,200 love transforms everything. He causes everything to to 560 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,160 change. You didn't know it, but you were 561 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,600 made to fly. He's giving you wings so you can 562 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,320 rise in him. You were made for more than what 563 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:56,120 you thought you were made for. It's not just the purpose of 564 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,880 life that He's calling you to, it's to Him. 565 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,040 He is everything. He's calling you into His arms 566 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,320 where you find life so you can give it. 567 00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:12,000 Holy God, I pray for every heart in here. 568 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,120 And if, if you're willing, if you would just hold out your 569 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,600 hands as if you were going to receive a present. 570 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:40,040 Holy Spirit, you are our Lord. You are the one that comes in as 571 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,800 our best friend and our counselor, the one that helps us 572 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,120 beyond what we even knew we needed help with. 573 00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:51,440 And Lord, you want to fill and to bless every heart and Holy 574 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:56,400 Spirit, I pray you would come upon every heart and life right 575 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,880 now with what they didn't know they needed. 576 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:07,960 That you would draw every heart unto you, as this is your heart 577 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:16,200 and your passion. Lord, we receive what you would 578 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,400 give us. Would you say that I receive 579 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:23,440 what you give me? Lord, I receive your living 580 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:28,040 water.
