God never avoids the needs of humanity. It is the inability of people to understand the unconditional love that God has for them, for you and I. God has unconditional love for us. The world is so small and God so big! God's immensity exceeds the imaginations of men and women. We are trapped in worlds of our own making . Prophetically...God does not desire to see any of us trapped or see any perish.
So Jesus, tells his disciple in the Gospel (John,4 and verse 4) that he needs to go through Samaria.
In Samaria, a woman approached the well where Jesus sat. (Jacob's well.) Jesus was tired from his journey. He was wearied. The human side of Christ was weary. But the Spirit side of Christ was not. Jesus made a request of the woman. He said, Give me a drink of water.
But, the woman wanted to know why a Jew would ask a Samaritan for a drink of water. Sometimes, we separate ourselves from the blessing before God has an opportunity to bless us. That's why it is important to know who is speaking to us , who wants our attention, who wants our mind, God or the world? The words of truth or the deceptions of the Great Dragon.
The woman was about to miss an opportunity for a blessing. The world will miss an opportunity for God to manifest his power. Why? We are not listening to God.
Jesus answered and said to the woman, if you only knew who you were talking to,..we don't receive the blessings we so richly deserve because we don't listen to God.
The woman was talking to God in the flesh and she didn't know...she didn't
know it. He look just like another person. How often has judging, perceptions, attitudes, opinions, twisted creeds, personal apprehensions, and fear kept us from giving Jesus a drink of water. He gives us water... if we drink it we will never thirst again. Can you imagine, never thirsting again. That's not humanly possible but divine. What does truth look like? Truth does have an image. God comes to us in many ways but we must be able to see the revelations for our lives.
And Jesus said, I must needs go through Samaria...the world awaits the truth.
The world awaits the truth of theGospel. We, the people of God have slept too long. God is able. Will you give Jesus a drink of water by serving him. We bring more light to the world when we serve others and set the captives free. Why does the world wait for truth when it is already manifested. We must realized that God is sovereign,not nations, not man, not world conferences, not stimulus plans, not politicians, and the list could go on. God is sovereign!
No hatred, no separation,no war, no genocide, no suicide, no deceptions, twisted perceptions, perverted truth, injustice, inequality, no prejudice, no homelessness, no... no...no..Just God! Just God! No racism, classicism, sexism, militarism...Just God! Just God! God is Able...and we must
needs go through Samaria. The church must go, we must go now!

Prayer
Gracious God, I surrender to you today. The world needs light. There is much suffering, hurt, chaos, pain and confusion... allow me to become an instrument in your hands. God, I know that you know what I need, but it's not what I need...it's what your will is for me. God, I thank you for my journey here today. I pray that these anointed words of truth empower me today...today, I forget myself and embraced the power of the resurrected Jesus...empower, lift, hold, guide, lead, and allow me to become a foot soldier of truth.
God is able!
