• 1:01
  Holy and precious name I pray, Amen.
• 1:05
  Let's start in verse one. When therefore the Lord knew how
• 1:11
  the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more
• 1:14
  disciples than John? Well, you're going to have to
• 1:18
  know here. This was started back in the
• 1:21
  last chapter where John's disciples were trying to figure
• 1:25
  out what John thought about his cousin who was baptizing more
• 1:32
  than him. Verse 2 though Jesus himself
• 1:36
  baptized not but his disciples, so we see here that it they
• 1:41
  could not just go and say, well, I was baptized by Jesus.
• 1:44
  Jesus was wise enough to allow the disciples to take part in
• 1:50
  that facet of his ministry. 3 And he left Judea and departed
• 1:55
  again into Galilee. Four and he needs must go
• 1:58
  through Samaria. So we know that there was a
• 2:02
  quicker route and it was through Samaria, but the Jews would have
• 2:09
  been accustomed to actually going around the longer way.
• 2:14
  And so Jesus here just hits the nail on the head.
• 2:17
  He knows that he has business to do, and he's about to reveal his
• 2:22
  earthly ministry to a Samaritan who was 1/2 breed, who was half
• 2:30
  Jewish, and they were hated by the pure Jews from the Abrahamic
• 2:37
  lineage. And you can see here that
• 2:39
  Jesus's ministry is for the whole world, not just for the
• 2:43
  Jews. Let's keep going. 5 Then comes
• 2:47
  he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sicar, near the parcel
• 2:51
  of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
• 2:55
  So here there's so much tapestry, Old Testament
• 2:58
  tapestry. Here we can see that Jesus knew
• 3:03
  that this was all God's land. It was not just borders.
• 3:08
  There was no borders with Jesus Christ.
• 3:11
  He remembered the time whenever the Israelites and the 12
• 3:14
  tribes, whenever they were there in that land, he remembered it.
• 3:18
  He sees it, He can recall it. And friends, he knows our
• 3:22
  beginning from the end. He knows everything about us.
• 3:26
  And so Jesus here is going into Samaria and he's going to love
• 3:31
  on that nation. He's going to show them that
• 3:34
  they must worship God in spirit and truth.
• 3:36
  And it has nothing to do with the borders there, and it has
• 3:39
  nothing to do with the temple there, and it has nothing to do
• 3:43
  with the lineage of Abraham, that those people are his chosen
• 3:48
  people. Praise God, but he does have his
• 3:51
  heart for the entire world. And we can see that the Jews
• 3:55
  squandered their inheritance much like Adam and Eve
• 3:59
  squandered theirs. The Jews were supposed to be the
• 4:03
  royal priesthood for the whole world, to point the whole world
• 4:08
  towards God Almighty. And they made it all about the
• 4:13
  temple, they made it all about heritage, they made it all about
• 4:17
  the traditions. And here Jesus is coming to
• 4:20
  correct that thought process, and he did it last chapter with
• 4:25
  Nicodemus whenever it was believed that no Jew could enter
• 4:29
  into hell. He's showing them that without
• 4:31
  receiving the Holy Spirit, without receiving the new birth,
• 4:36
  that they were not going to make it into heaven and they would be
• 4:40
  cast into the realm where it was created for the fallen angels.
• 4:46
  And we send ourselves there, friends.
• 4:49
  So here we can see verse 6. Now Jacob's well was there,
• 4:53
  Jesus, therefore being wearied with his journey, he sat thus on
• 4:57
  the well. And it was about the 6th hour.
• 5:00
  So here we can see that Jesus is all man.
• 5:04
  He's all God and He's all man. And he's tired and he goes to
• 5:07
  the well. And this has a lot of
• 5:09
  significance. If you go back and read the Old
• 5:11
  Testament, you can see here that this is a very special place.
• 5:17
  And seven there comes a woman of Samaria to draw water.
• 5:21
  Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink.
• 5:25
  So here the living water is asking this woman for a drink.
• 5:30
  And what he's doing here is he's probing her.
• 5:33
  He is actually wanting to know where her heart is, but He knows
• 5:38
  all people. He knew that this was all coming
• 5:41
  about, but he needed to draw out of her the deep things that she
• 5:47
  was trying to hide, the deep things that she walked around
• 5:51
  with and shame. And let's see what she has to
• 5:53
  say. Eight For his disciples were
• 5:56
  gone away into the city to buy meat.
• 6:00
  So here you can see as the story unfolds that the disciples were
• 6:05
  going into town to buy something to eat.
• 6:07
  And Jesus, weary from the journey, knew that he had a
• 6:10
  divine appointment with this woman. 9 Then said the woman of
• 6:14
  Samaria unto him, How is it that you, being a Jew, asked a drink
• 6:19
  of me, which I am a woman of Samaria?
• 6:22
  For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
• 6:25
  So you can see here Jesus, if you've been following along for
• 6:29
  any amount of you know that Jesus has already given the
• 6:32
  discourse on the Good Samaritan. He shows where God's heart is,
• 6:38
  friends, and God is not like us. His ways are much higher than
• 6:44
  our ways and his thoughts much higher than our thoughts,
• 6:47
  friends. And we would do well to make
• 6:49
  sure that we have the heart of God, the heart of Christ, the
• 6:54
  mind of Christ, Make sure that our lives add up to this good
• 6:58
  book, that we're not steeped so much in tradition, friends.
• 7:02
  And she's asking you, Jews don't even like us.
• 7:05
  How is it that you're talking to me?
• 7:07
  And not only that, but she was a woman, and women were looked
• 7:11
  down upon at this time. It is no different in our day
• 7:14
  and our our friends. We need to honor our wives,
• 7:18
  honor them friends, and love them. 10 Jesus answered and said
• 7:23
  unto her, If you knew the gift of God and who it is that says
• 7:27
  to you, give me to drink, then you would have asked of him, and
• 7:32
  he would have given you living water.
• 7:35
  So you can see here that Jesus's whole motive is he's trying to
• 7:39
  get her to take a drink and to drink from the endless
• 7:44
  bottomless well where she will never be thirsty again.
• 7:48
  The well of living water, which is Jesus Christ, friends, He is
• 7:53
  our eternal spring that never dries up.
• 7:55
  He is our all sufficient sacrifice.
• 7:58
  He is our eternity, He is the reward, He is our everything.
• 8:03
  And He saying, listen, drink in deeply of me and you will be
• 8:08
  satisfied. I hope that you can say that
• 8:10
  today, friends. I hope that you have found that
• 8:13
  Jesus is enough. I hope that you're not chasing
• 8:15
  after vanity and chasing after money.
• 8:18
  I hope you're not chasing after pride.
• 8:20
  I hope you're not chasing after reputation.
• 8:23
  I pray that you have found that Jesus is enough.
• 8:26
  He is way more than the position that you carry.
• 8:29
  He's way more than any relationship that you have on
• 8:33
  this earth. He is our everything.
• 8:36
  And I pray that you have drink and you have drunk deeply from
• 8:40
  this living water, Friends. 11 The woman said unto him, Sir,
• 8:46
  you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep.
• 8:51
  From where then have you that living water?
• 8:55
  So there's so much here. There's allegory and symbolism,
• 9:00
  but the basic understanding of this, friends, is she is saying
• 9:06
  you do not even have anything to draw with.
• 9:10
  And friends, I want you to know that when we come to the Lord
• 9:14
  Jesus Christ, it doesn't always look like how we thought it was
• 9:19
  going to. And this is her saying to him,
• 9:23
  listen, I am a deep, deep well. I have so many hidden,
• 9:28
  unsearchable things, and you think that you could just draw
• 9:33
  them up and out of me. And plus, look, you are a man of
• 9:38
  poverty, and I desire more. I desire more than what you can
• 9:43
  offer me. And here we're going to get back
• 9:46
  into the practical. What is actually happening here?
• 9:50
  So she's saying, You have nothing to draw with. 12 Are you
• 9:53
  greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well and drank
• 9:58
  thereof himself and his children and his cattle?
• 10:01
  And of course Jesus was before Abraham.
• 10:04
  Jesus is greater than Abraham. And this was something that she
• 10:08
  needed to understand. 13 Jesus answered and said unto her,
• 10:12
  Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again. 14 But
• 10:17
  whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall
• 10:21
  never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him
• 10:25
  a well of water springing up to everlasting life.
• 10:29
  It never ends. It is the deep end, friends.
• 10:33
  It's unsearchable riches. It is so incredibly beautiful
• 10:39
  when you come to the Lord and you surrender all, not just
• 10:42
  surrender some. When you are fully sold out to
• 10:45
  the King of Kings, when you are holding nothing back, when you
• 10:49
  are not compartmentalizing your life, when you are truly sold
• 10:53
  out to Him. You're going to find this living
• 10:55
  water where you never will be thirsty again.
• 10:58
  And you keep going back to it and you find that it's full and
• 11:02
  it's overflowing. Friends 15 The woman said unto
• 11:08
  him, Sir, give me this water that I thirst not neither come
• 11:13
  here to draw. So here she's still thinking in
• 11:16
  the practical. She's saying that she wants to
• 11:19
  have whatever this miracle cure that he has because she doesn't
• 11:25
  want to have to keep coming back.
• 11:28
  And this would have been a sign that she carried a lot of shame
• 11:33
  because she was not out with the community.
• 11:36
  She had not come in the cool of the morning.
• 11:40
  She was out in the middle of the day where it would have been hot
• 11:44
  friends. And you can see here that Jesus
• 11:47
  knows her story from beginning to end. 16 Jesus said unto her,
• 11:57
  unto her, Go call your husband, and come here. 17 The woman
• 12:01
  answered, and said, I have no husband.
• 12:03
  Jesus under Jesus said unto her, You have said, Well, I have no
• 12:10
  husband. 18 For you have had five husbands, and he whom now
• 12:16
  that you have is not your husband, in that you have said
• 12:20
  truly. 19 The woman said unto him, Sir, I perceive that you
• 12:25
  are a prophet, but much greater than a prophet.
• 12:28
  Jesus is Yahweh, Jesus is our everything, and Jesus knows
• 12:35
  everything. He is preeminent, he is
• 12:39
  omniscient, and he knows that this woman has had so many
• 12:43
  husbands and now the one that she is living with is not her
• 12:47
  husband. And she just thinks of him now
• 12:52
  not only as a miracle cure provider, but now she sees him
• 12:56
  as a prophet. And this is unfolding.
• 12:59
  And make sure we lock in. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this
• 13:03
  mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men
• 13:08
  ought to worship. So there was so much back story
• 13:11
  here where the Jews basically ousted out the Samaritans
• 13:15
  because they were not fully of Abraham's seed and they tried to
• 13:20
  Lord it over them that they had the temple.
• 13:22
  And it was no different back in Jeremiah's time when the false
• 13:27
  prophets were in the land telling them that they had the
• 13:29
  temple of the Lord and that they were secure.
• 13:32
  They had started it all over again.
• 13:34
  And they thought because they had the temple of the Lord in
• 13:37
  Jerusalem that that was where everyone was supposed to
• 13:40
  worship. And what is Jesus going to tell
• 13:43
  her, And what is Jesus going to tell us?
• 13:46
  21 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes when
• 13:50
  you shall neither in this mountain nor at Jerusalem
• 13:53
  worship the Father. 22 You worship, you know, not what we
• 14:00
  know, what we worship. For salvation is of the Jews.
• 14:03
  He makes it clear, He makes it plain.
• 14:06
  Salvation comes from the Jews. It's from Jesus Christ, the lion
• 14:11
  of Judah, friends. And we would do well to bless
• 14:14
  that nation so that we can be blessed.
• 14:16
  Do not curse them, or you will be cursed. 23 But the hour
• 14:20
  comes, and now is when the true worshipper shall worship the
• 14:24
  Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such to
• 14:28
  worship him. That is our call, that is our
• 14:30
  mandate, that is our marching orders.
• 14:32
  That is where we need to be found, friends, worshipping God
• 14:36
  Almighty in spirit and truth. Friends, be filled with the
• 14:39
  Spirit today. Tell the truth, stand on the
• 14:42
  truth. Jesus Christ is the truth, and
• 14:45
  we must worship Him in that. What's he going to tell her?
• 14:48
  24 God is a spirit, and they their worship Him must worship
• 14:53
  him in spirit and in truth. So you cannot even come unto the
• 14:58
  Father unless the Spirit draws you unto himself, friends.
• 15:02
  And you're going to see here that in order to authentically
• 15:06
  worship God, you must, you must give in to that calling of the
• 15:11
  Spirit into God's presence, friends.
• 15:14
  And when you're indwelled with the Spirit, worshipping God is
• 15:17
  easy because you can go to Him anywhere at any time, 24/7.
• 15:23
  Pray without ceasing. 25 The woman said unto him, I know that
• 15:27
  the Messiah comes, which is called Christ.
• 15:30
  When he has come, He would tell us all things.
• 15:32
  So you can see that they were waiting for the Messiah, and she
• 15:36
  had not realized that the Messiah was standing right in
• 15:39
  front of her. She didn't realize.
• 15:41
  She thought of Him just as a prophet at this moment, even
• 15:44
  though he's telling her that he knows so much about her and
• 15:50
  about God, and she still is seeing him as a prophet. 26
• 15:57
  Jesus said unto her, I that speak unto you am He.
• 16:01
  He revealed to this Samaritan woman that He is the Messiah.
• 16:10
  What a privilege to her, friends, and what an
• 16:12
  encouragement to you and to me. We're all jacked up and we're in
• 16:16
  desperate need of Jesus Christ, and He comes to us, the lowly.
• 16:22
  He comes to us, the broken. Friends, that is the way, and
• 16:25
  that is the heart of God. Friends, we cannot be so pious
• 16:30
  that we miss it. 27 And upon this came his disciples, and
• 16:39
  marvel that he talked with the woman, yet no man said, what do
• 16:43
  you seek or why do you talk with her?
• 16:45
  They were smart enough and wise enough at this moment to keep
• 16:48
  their mouths shut and to just allow the Messiah to deal with
• 16:53
  this woman's heart. And that's what he does for you,
• 16:56
  and that's what he does for me. He hits the nail on the head.
• 16:59
  He's good at what He does. Friends, He gets us to the place
• 17:02
  of surrender. But we must choose that
• 17:05
  surrender, or we allow the bird to come in, Satan to come in and
• 17:09
  snatch the words. We allow the cares of this world
• 17:13
  to come in and choke out the fruitfulness.
• 17:17
  We allow the shallowness because we didn't go deep with God.
• 17:20
  And whenever persecution and hard times arise, we fall away.
• 17:24
  We must let the word that He is the Messiah fall on fertile
• 17:29
  ground and produce fruit. And if you truly believe that
• 17:32
  Jesus Christ is the Son of God, then this whole world would look
• 17:36
  different than it does right now.
• 17:38
  Friends. 28 The woman then left her water pot and went her way
• 17:50
  into the city, and said to the men, Come and see the man which
• 17:56
  told me all things that I've ever done.
• 18:01
  Is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city,
• 18:10
  and came unto him. 31 In the mean while his disciples prayed,
• 18:16
  him, saying, Master, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat
• 18:23
  to eat that you know not of. So we can see here that Jesus
• 18:27
  Christ is feasting on the word of God.
• 18:32
  We can see here that Jesus Christ is not worried about what
• 18:37
  his disciples think. He is feasting on the Word of
• 18:42
  God, and that is our call, and that is our mandate, that we
• 18:45
  must feast on the word of God. 33 Therefore the disciples, one
• 18:59
  to another, said, Has any man brought him something to eat?
• 19:04
  34 Then Jesus said unto him, My meat is to do the will of him
• 19:08
  that sent me, and to finish his work.
• 19:12
  He makes it plain here to the disciples.
• 19:14
  Friends, He lets his disciples know that man shall not live by
• 19:18
  bread alone, but by every word of God that proceeds out of his
• 19:22
  mouth. 35 Say not ye, there are yet four months, and then the
• 19:27
  harvest comes. Behold, I say unto you, lift up
• 19:32
  your eyes and look on the fields, for they are already
• 19:36
  white with the harvest. So we can see here that God is
• 19:40
  going out, and God is preparing the harvest, and we must get in
• 19:44
  line. Friends, we do not control the
• 19:47
  growth. All we do is scatter the seed.
• 19:50
  We need to be obedient to God to scatter the seed, no matter what
• 19:54
  kind of soil it falls on. Friends, do not be found hiding
• 19:59
  your. Lamp under the bushel friends,
• 20:02
  do not be found letting your lamp go out and let it be found
• 20:08
  without the oil. Make sure you fill it up.
• 20:10
  Let your light shine today and go out into the harvest friends,
• 20:15
  and call many men to repentance and remission for their sins by
• 20:18
  the blood of Jesus Christ. We have a great commandment.
• 20:22
  We need to go out into the highways and the hedges and the
• 20:25
  byways, and we need to make sure that we are found putting our
• 20:29
  hand to the while locking eyes with Jesus, not living
• 20:33
  distracted friends, and let this world fade away as you lock eyes
• 20:40
  with him. And he will give you all the
• 20:42
  fuel that you need to finish the journey. 36 And he that reaps
• 20:49
  receives wages and gathers fruit unto life eternal, that both he
• 20:54
  that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together, praise God.
• 20:59
  So you can see that God's plan for the ages is for us to be
• 21:04
  partakers of what he's already doing behind the scenes.
• 21:08
  And so many of us, we fall away because of the pressures of the
• 21:12
  world, so many of us because of the pride of life.
• 21:16
  We do not want what God has for us because it looks different
• 21:19
  than the life that we thought we were going to have and get. 37
• 21:24
  And herein is that saying true. 1 sows and another reaps. 38 I
• 21:29
  sent you to reap that. Where you bestowed no labor,
• 21:33
  other men labored, and you entered into their laborers.
• 21:38
  So you can see here that God's preparing the ground.
• 21:40
  We need to know that God is the one that's calling out, but we
• 21:45
  have to go and be his hands and feet.
• 21:48
  We have to be the ones to be obedient.
• 21:50
  God is calling many men unto salvation, and we need to break
• 21:55
  up the fallow ground and make sure that all the seed is
• 21:58
  falling on fertile soil. We need to know that God gives
• 22:02
  the increase. All that we're doing is going
• 22:05
  out and scattering that seed, friends.
• 22:09
  And whenever you're yoked with him, it's easy, Friends.
• 22:12
  It's not labor. Some friends.
• 22:14
  His yoke is easy and his burden is light. 39 And many of the
• 22:19
  Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the
• 22:23
  woman which testified that he told me all that I ever did.
• 22:28
  Because she could go back into that town, and because they knew
• 22:31
  the disgrace that she carried, and because she left the water
• 22:35
  pot, they believed on him. They saw him not just as a
• 22:40
  miracle cure provider, not just as a prophet, but they saw him
• 22:44
  as the long-awaited Messiah. 40 So when the Samaritans were
• 22:49
  coming to him, they begged him that he would tarry with them,
• 22:53
  and he abode there two days. So you can see here that
• 22:57
  whenever Jesus cast out the legion from the demoniac, they
• 23:02
  asked him to leave. But here Jesus is talking to
• 23:06
  this woman and they ask him to stay.
• 23:10
  How amazing is it? We should be the ones that are
• 23:12
  asking Jesus to abode, to abide with us and we in him we do not
• 23:18
  need. Whenever we rub up against the
• 23:20
  righteousness of God and the goodness of God and the mercy of
• 23:24
  God, we should not ask him to leave because he makes things
• 23:28
  uncomfortable. We need to ask him to continue
• 23:31
  to pull out the things that don't belong. 41 And many more
• 23:39
  believed because of his own words.
• 23:41
  So not only the words of the Samaritan woman going in there
• 23:45
  and telling them all that he had told her, but also because of
• 23:49
  the things Jesus was teaching. Many more believed on him, 42
• 23:53
  and said unto the woman. Now we believe not because of
• 23:56
  your saying, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he
• 24:01
  is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world. 43 Now after two
• 24:07
  days he departed from there and went into Galilee. 44 For Jesus
• 24:11
  himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
• 24:16
  45 Then when he was coming to Galilee, the Galileans received
• 24:21
  him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the
• 24:25
  feast, for they also went unto the feast.
• 24:28
  So John here, he had mentioned a few chapters back that they
• 24:32
  believed on him because of all the miracles he did at
• 24:35
  Jerusalem. And he mentions it here again.
• 24:38
  And there's a little reference here that a prophet is without
• 24:40
  honor in his hometown. And I want you to know, friends,
• 24:44
  whenever you start following hard after God, when you start
• 24:47
  getting serious about your faith, do not be surprised if
• 24:51
  you get ridiculed and misunderstood by your own
• 24:54
  family, by those that know your past.
• 24:57
  Do not be dismayed and discouraged when people say all
• 25:02
  kinds of things about your past and when they try to get you to
• 25:07
  quit following after God so hard because you're making it
• 25:11
  uncomfortable. Friends, you are convicting when
• 25:15
  you are following hard after Jesus Christ.
• 25:17
  It makes people uncomfortable and it makes them have to make
• 25:22
  hard decisions that they do not like.
• 25:24
  And do not be surprised whenever you come around, if you see them
• 25:28
  go the other way. Do not be surprised if they say
• 25:31
  all kinds of negative things towards you, friends. 46 So
• 25:41
  Jesus came again into Cana Galilee, where he made the water
• 25:45
  wine. And there was a certain nobleman
• 25:47
  whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was
• 25:51
  come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him and begged him
• 25:56
  that he would come down heal his Son, for he was at the point of
• 26:00
  death. So we can see here this
• 26:02
  nobleman, we can see here that his son gets healed.
• 26:05
  We can see here that Jesus is traveling around.
• 26:09
  And these are real places, friends.
• 26:12
  These are real people that are real time. 48 Then said Jesus
• 26:17
  unto him, Except you see signs and wonders, you do not believe.
• 26:22
  49 The nobleman said unto him, Sir, come down here, my child,
• 26:27
  before he dies. 50 And Jesus said unto him, Go your way, your
• 26:32
  son lives. And the man believed the word
• 26:34
  that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
• 26:37
  So here Jesus goes to this man, and he says, You're seeking a
• 26:41
  sign so that you may believe. The man just sidesteps that
• 26:45
  comment and says please heal my son before he dies.
• 26:51
  Jesus sees the faith of this man.
• 26:53
  He heals the son. We need to be desperate like
• 26:56
  this man was. We don't need to take no for an
• 26:59
  answer. We don't need to be called a
• 27:01
  dog. We need to make sure that, like
• 27:04
  the Syrophoenician woman, that we press hard, and that we make
• 27:08
  sure that Jesus knows that our faith is in him and him alone,
• 27:13
  whether he heals or whether he doesn't heal, whether he chooses
• 27:16
  to or whether he chooses to leave us in it.
• 27:19
  We cannot let our faith waver. We must increase that faith. 51
• 27:26
  in his. He was now going down.
• 27:28
  His servants met him and told him, saying, Your son lives. 52
• 27:33
  Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend, and
• 27:38
  they said unto him, Yesterday the 7th hour, the fever left
• 27:42
  him. 53 So the Father knew that it was at the same hour in the
• 27:47
  which Jesus said unto him, Your Son lives, and he believed him,
• 27:51
  and his whole house. 54 will end here.
• 27:54
  This is again the second miracle that Jesus did when he was come
• 27:58
  out of Judea into Galilee. So we can see here, friends,
• 28:03
  that Jesus heals. He can heal from a distance and
• 28:08
  it takes faith, friends, that's what it takes.
• 28:11
  We must increase our faith. We must know that God can do
• 28:15
  anything. We need to know that He can heal
• 28:18
  from a distance. He can heal with the touch.
• 28:20
  We need to know that He is limitless in His power.
• 28:23
  And what is all hinged upon is faith.
• 28:26
  If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to
• 28:29
  this mountain move and it'll move.
• 28:31
  You can say to this ocean part and it will part.
• 28:35
  You can say to this body be healed and it'll be healed.
• 28:38
  Friends. You can say demons run and they
• 28:40
  run friends in Jesus name. I pray that you understand that
• 28:46
  it is faith. It is faith that pleases God
• 28:49
  friends, and we must increase it.
• 28:51
  I hope you've been blessed by this amazing chapter here in the
• 28:54
  book of John. I know I sure have, many times
• 28:57
  over. I love you and so does God.
• 29:11
  I'm praying for you. I'm praying that you'll walk in
• 29:16
  this bridal identity. I'm praying that you understand
• 29:20
  deep calls to deep. I'm praying that the Spirit is
• 29:24
  connected with the Spirit of God.
• 29:27
  I pray that you are able to discern and understand all of
• 29:32
  these deep truths. I pray that you are in the Word
• 29:35
  and the Word is in you today. I'm praying for you.
• 29:39
  I pray that your body is healed and the prodigals come home.
• 29:48
  Stay prayed up. Stay blessed.
• 29:52
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 29:53
  God bless you.
