Jesus Made More Disciples Than John | Pr Jack Ling

You're listening to a message to go from X church. We hope this message

will light up your team. I am gonna speak from John chapter four.

John chapter four. So if you have your bibles, children, adults,

try and flip to John chapter four. This itself, it's called Bible skills.

Bible skills? How skillful are you with your Bible? Can you one

flip flip to that page? Ready? Can you? Or not? Means

you know your Bible? So well, hey, some people can. Okay,

I'm still I still cannot say. I'm still flipping all right. And

my title, I've got a title. So everyone, let's look get a

title here. Okay, all right, look at this. It's called Jesus

made more disciples than John. Jesus made more disciples than John. That's my

title. That's just I should have been the first verse here right now.

Let's read the verse to get the first verse here. First three verses okay,

right, okay, okay, hey, let's read together everyone. Okay,

let's try one, two, and three. Now, when Jesus learned

that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John.

Although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples. He left

Julia and departed again for Galilee. Right, first thing here is now when

Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples.

So that's why that's where I got the title for my message. Jesus

made more disciples than John. Okay, honestly speaking, I never realized that.

Okay, you know, John is a great guy, and so you

know he was. He was known as John the Baptist, right, He

ate locusts, and he baptized people. And so here is the proof that

shows that Jesus is actually greater than John, just by this, because he

actually made more disciples, all right, and he actually baptized more people.

So in fact, if there was that title John the Baptist, it doesn't

belong to him anymore. Actually supposed to be Jesus the Baptist in a way,

because Jesus trumps John in terms of making disciples and baptizing. All right.

But don't worry, I think Jesus not so insecure. He's okay,

let John have it, Let John have it, all right. I'm Jesus

the Son of God. It's even greater. Okay. So anyway, now,

why am I bringing this up? Why am I putting there as a

title Jesus made more disciples. This speaks to me of the priority of Jesus.

You know, when we hear this and then we look at the last

commandment right before he left, as it like he got resurrected before he uh

left for heaven. Right, his word to us is go and make disciples.

Well, this this thing is like on and on. He's like seeing

it again and again and and and it's like by now, if we don't

get it right, it's like we really missed the point. So Jesus really

has this thing about making disciples because he made more disciples than John. And

the final word is go and make disciples, right, Okay, So it

speaks of his priority. Because why it could have been Jesus dance more,

Jesus ate more food than than John. You know, you could have been

Jesus. What else worshiped more, spoke more messages. That wasn't the case.

But it's this one. Jesus may more disciples. This shows what the

priority of Jesus is. It's making disciples. Someone everyone say to your neighbor,

Jesus made more disciples, and therefore, just knowing this, I am

wondering, you know, because when we say I follow Jesus, shouldn't then

we followed this that we should also make more disciples. Amen? Amen?

All right, I've got a question for you. How many of you here

you consider yourself a disciple of Jesus? Okay, hey, no, right,

thanks for honesty. All right, So I see there's something like am

I a disciple of Jesus? It's okay, it's good, good honesty there,

and some hands be more confident I am a disciple of Jesus. Of

course that would a right disciple, like like a law of commitment there,

right, it's almost something you're saying like I'm this person's husband, I'm this

person's wife. You know. I actually there's commitment. But now if I

ask you, I'm very sure if I ask you how many of you are

Christians? I believe more hands will actually go out, how many of Christians?

More hands to grow up go up because you recognize that word Christian,

and then maybe not so much commitment that I would. It's a misconception.

Let me tell you something here. When you call yourself a Christian. You

know what it means. You know what it means. It's not a religion.

You know, it's not religion. It's very different from all these other

religions. A Christian the world itself is power pact. Christians mean little Christ.

Everyone say little Christ. Okay, what does that mean? Little Christ

means someone who's like Christ. When they see this person, a little Christ,

this person looks and speaks and acts like Christ. He's not Christ.

He or she is not Christ. We are not christ' uh. But you

are a little Christ. If you say I'm a Christian, you're saying I'm

a little Christ. And what does that mean? Actually, the word Christian

and disciple is actually the same. You consider yourself a Christian, you're saying,

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, I follow Jesus. I'm a

little Christ. That's what you're saying, all right. So, and then

many of us are allowed thinking, am I really Christian? Right? Okay?

Don't worry, Yes, don't worry. We're not there yet, we're

not perfect yet. But when you believe in Jesus, you're saying, I

am a little Christ, all right, and I'm going to learn to be

more and more like Christ. Amen. All right, I hope, I

hope you're encouraged. Okay, don't feel down. Let's be encouraged this morning.

So if you say, if you consider yourself a Christian, you are

saying I am a disciple of Jesus Christ because I want to follow what he

died. Okay. And when people see you more and more, they should

recognize this. This guy's look like Jesus Christ. They act like Jesus Christ,

they speak like him, they give like him, all right. They

are firm like him, they're gentle like him, all right, and they

give their lives like him. Okay, we'll get there. We'll get there

everyone, we'll get there. Amen. So Jesus made more disciples, all

right. And so now I'm gonna tell you a little bit maybe about discipleship,

okay, my own life, all right. So discipleship what is Okay,

before that, you know the word disciple in the Greek. Okay,

maybe some of you heard before, because I've spoken this before in the Greek.

Right. The Greek wood for disciple is math tests, math tests,

Okay, I know where they say it, right, but it's spelled with

the wooden math in frontal mathematics and at mathematics, so mathe tests. What's

the meaning sounds very chunky, but actually meaning very simple? Method tests like

math tests. Right, but but what's the meaning of method tests? Very

simple? The word actually means learner. Learner, what like, what's that

much? Learner? Uh? But learner the meaning of learning learner means this.

Okay, I'll put it this way. What's a key for learning?

What's the one of the most important keys to be a good learner? Students?

Listening? Very good, very good listening, desire to learn any more?

Anymore? Answers desire to learn listening. Yeah, I hear it as

good, right, Okay, don't worry. I want you give you a

math tessay. Okay, okay. And then you know, Asian culture will

say work hard, work hard, don't be lazy. All right, it's

all part of it. But you know, I believe and you know,

the most important thing about learning, if you really want to learn something,

it's actually humility. His humility. We've heard this before, right, one

of the messages doctor Jill preached humility. And you want to listen, well,

you need to be humble. If not, you're not really listening.

If you know. If you say I know it all, Hey, I

know all this math formula, la teacher, Are you going to really listen

to him? No? No, because you think you know it all,

although actually you don't know all that. Right. If you know, you

say I know all the Bible already? You know, I've heard so many

messages. I'm twenty year old Christian? Right, whatfore I need to listen?

Whatfore I need to learn? The desire to there's no desire to learn?

Right, But if you humble enough, no matter how long you've been

a Christian, no matter what position or title you have. Right, many

of you are you know, business owners or whatever, a teacher, you

know, a doctor, you and many of your your jobs are I would

say, like maybe greater than what I do, like you know, on

a daily basis. But you are actually coming here, and you said,

I humble myself to listen to what passa Jack has to say. Right,

I'm pretty sure I earned more money than him. Right, I've got bigger

house than him or whatever. I don't know everything. Okay you have,

you might have a title or whatever, but you're actually humbling yourself. And

some of you're older than me. But thank you and some of you are

better students than me, and so you've got more a's than me. Right,

yeah, it goes I'm not so not so bright line in terms of

studies. But you're humbling yourself to say, Okay, I'm here and passage

speaking. I'm gonna hear what it is he has to say, because I

believe God is going to speak through him. So humility is that thing that's

causing you to stay on here trying to listen to what I say, you

know, trying to take it. So you're taking notes of you're opening your

bibles. You're actually trying to learn your humility. Okay, So humility is

the key why because the opposite of that is what we've been hearing in Daniel

chapter four. Who is that guy King Nebu Kaneza? Oh? Is his

problem? His problem was pride. His problem was there was no humility,

right. You know, He's been told by Daniel this interpretation of a dream,

you're gonna, you know, all these things that he's going to happen

to him. And yet when the time came, he still went into like,

Wow, I'm so good, you know, because of my greatness,

my glory, you know, my kingdom is so nice. And right after

he said all those things God, I mean in my inner title that I

saw in Daniel four in my Bible, it says God humiliated him, humiliated

him, meaning God wanted to humble him. And so he became crazy.

He started eating grass and stuff like that. Right and so, but but

but after a while, then he awoke from that situation, and then he

started to praise God because he started to humble himself as say, yeah,

actually, God, God is the one who made me who I am.

So do you see that church? The key to learn to the key to

be a good learner, which is the meaning of that word disciple, is

humility, all right, And I know we all want to get there.

Amen, hallelujah. All right, let's move on. Okay, so humility.

Oh wait, I haven't told my own story. Okay, sorry,

okay, yay, this typleship my own story, just a quick one.

So I always thought I was a humble guy. Also when I was in

college, I thought it was so humble, all right, And that's anyone

here. Actually, you know what, when you you think you're humble,

that's that's where you're not humble, right, That's where he comes, you're

not humbled. So I thought it was so humble. Then, um,

uh, one time my dad, my dad, you know, he he

was a believer. He's a believer still, all right, he's a believer,

and he actually he was a new believer, and so he didn't really

pray much for me, all right. But there was one time I was

going for a camp in college and my dad decided to pray for me.

It was a bit strange, and he's when he decided to pray for me.

He prayed a really interesting prayer. Maybe he really wanted to do this

lat all right. So I was there awkward, feeling awkward in my dad

spraying for me. So he prayed and his prayer was, God, I

pray that Jack will be humble. I was like, I was so angry,

you know, and that prayer like and and and then amen amen whatever

you know, you know the amen that is not real. And so I

said amen. But I was like, I'm humble. What do you mean?

What do you mean make me humble? So I was full of pride.

I was full of pride. I went for the camp. You know,

it's a it's a Christian camp, you know, And uh, and

God spoke to me there and so I actually, you know, he humbled

me because I thought I had my own style. I wanted to do my

own thing, my own way, but God humbled me through. At least

that that was a start of things. At least I think the start was

my dance preyer. You know, so very important parents continue to pray for

your kids. Speak you know, the truth into their lives. They may

not like it, but speak it, speak it all right, um,

and and speak the truth into their lives. So and so that began the

process. And uh, you know, when when it comes to discipleship,

my story is, uh, I was going around visiting many, many different

churches, okay, but finally one day I you know, God, U

God constantly speaks to you, but the day he has to all deeplis speak

to you is kind of an emergency. You know. It's like a parent

seeing the kid dashing into a on you know, uh on oncoming is it

called a car, and you'll be like stop. You know that's where you

really have to speak out, all right. And so I actually heard God.

I believe it was all because I heard his voice saying stop what you're

doing. Because I was sinning or whatever it is and stop, and then

it says, go and speak to Pastor Kenneth. I actually heard that.

It's like whoa, And so that was shocking to me. And that's why

I started to start going to ASK Church because I was still visiting church Jessee.

So I started going to AX Church and I approached Pastor Kenneth, and

I didn't really tell him. I think God told me anything, because I

wasn't I wasn't confident to speak about it, and like, God told me

speak to you, you know. But I just went to past Akenda and

said, Pasta, I need to talk to you, you know, And

I shared all my secrets to him and stuff like that, and he heard

me and he prayed for me. And at that moment, I broke up

with that then girlfriend that I had uh and uh so uh and and things

begin to change. And that was my beginning of discipleship with Pastor Kenneth.

You know why I'm saying this because definitely we are disciples of Jesus Christ,

all right. But I believe God is using the people around us here to

represent him because he's using a physical person, because you know, if he

appeared physically to you. This is that? That how it This is how

it would be, all right, h Jesus knows what we're doing on our

phones, right, and you know, if you have your leader with you,

if they went into like can I check your phone? I think none

of the leaders here have done that back. But you know what I'm saying,

if if he wanted to, she wanted to, shouldn't it It shouldn't

be a problem, all right. I'm not doing anything wrong in my phone,

so right, yeah, I'm not saying please please don't do that.

You don't have to do that unless you suspect something really outline, right,

But what I'm saying is I share your story. Recently, I was at

passas Sandra's dad's funeral. We call him Uncle Yo, Uncle Yo. Right,

he passed on. He was this thing was in the church and Pasta

Kenneth was sharing a story about Uncle Yo, Uncle Yo. He was in

a hospital. He was, you know, getting ready to go because he

knows time is near, and so he's looking at his phone and he tells

Pasta Kenneth. You know, I don't want to calls past kennetha. You

know, my friend, we're not Tea send me these pictures inappropriate and he

say like, I all right, I better delete. Well, you know

why he says that. He said, what if I die today? What

if I suddenly you know, God suddly takes me and then my wife finds

my phone or my daughter looks at my voice sees these things. So what

a wasted life I lived? All my life? You know something, prison,

ministry and everything. And the final thing my wife and my daughter sees

my phone is this. He said. You know what I'm saying. You

know what I'm saying. So that's why I'm talking about that. You know,

Jesus he knows what's on your phones, right, because you know,

this is the thing we surprise. The secrets that we have, we don't

want to tell anyone, but you know, jeez Us, if you're saying,

with disciples of Jesus, can we be accountable with the things that we

have? Can we be faithful with a little that He has given to us?

Right? I will encourage Kerry. You know, he's playing his Kahan

right, And I'm gonna say, Kerry, you can hit a bit louder,

but thank you for being faithful with that, right, And it's gonna

grow more and more amen. Right, So whatever little we have, let's

give it to God and he's going to do something with it. Amen.

Okay, let's move on. Let's move on. So, disciple ship,

I hope I painted a bit of a picture, clear picture to you.

It's not about checking phones are huh. It's just knowing that if today pass

Kenneth is going to ask me about my life. What have I been doing,

How I've been treating my family, how I've been speaking to my kids.

If he's going to ask me, how am I going to answer?

And he most times he doesn't even need to get there. I'm thinking about

that, you got Hey. If I do like that, then one day

I sit now in pass Aca and and it talks to me, am I

going to lie to him? So I want to be able to say the

truth. So I better make my decisions right now, right, I better

make my decisions on what I'm doing right, what I'm watching, what I'm

reading, what I'm putting into my mind. Okay, So that's that's the

thing, all right. So I still want to encourage leaders. Leaders,

Remember what you're here to do. Okay, I'm gonna be bold to say

this. We're not here to make converts. We're not here to make converts,

right, people convert through their conviction. It's their decisions to follow Jesus.

But we are here to make disciples. So yeah, yes, let's

evangelize. That's pretty good news. But let's make disciples out of you and

me and the people that's in your care. All right, make disciples,

speak into their lives, be bold leaders. All right. We're here to

train up, train up, okay, teach and then but you know,

the first thing is we ourselves need to be disciples leaders. We ourselves need

to be disciples. We need to be accountable ourselves. We need to be

humble to want to learn from you know, others from our leaders. Amen.

Amen? All right, Wow, Okay, going on a little bit

long for the first point here, but now let's go a second point.

Okay, all right, that's a point. There's a point. Jesus wants

us to submit to the authority of Heaven and bye bye. How do we

submit? We humble ourselves and submit to his authority through the church that he

has given to us. He wants to function through the church, all right.

He loves the church, you know, he calls the church his bride.

He calls the church his bride. It's like his wife. If anyone

messages with my wife, yeah, no, no, don't mess with my

wife, all right. Anyone message with my wife, you're gonna experience the

wrath of a husband, all right. Okay. So the same thing with

Jesus. He loves his church, he wants to he wants his church to

function. But if anyone messages with his church, he's they're going to face

the wrath of the husband. Okay. So anyway, moving on, moving

on, Thank you everyone for still listening. Okay, and children too,

I see them taking notes, right, drawing, carry on, carry on,

okay, verse four to five. Here, and he had to pass

through Samaria. So he came to a town of Samaria called scar or Psycar,

near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Right,

what is this about? Just quickly, let me tell you he had to

pass through Samaria. The truth is, actually Jesus did not have to pass

through Samaria. He did, He did not have to. He's going way

again. Anyone remembers where he's going, Sasugi Galilee. He was going to

Galilee, all right? From there, because you know, the Pharisees hurt,

he's making more disciples, he's going back to Galilee, and he had

to pass through some places. He could have passed through anywhere else. That's

okay. According to my research, many Jews at that time went through another

route or route right. They went through another way because they didn't like Samaria.

To them, Samaria as this unclean place. This they call them the

the mixed breed means they're not the pure breed Jews. They're mixed up with

different races and their religion. It's been mixed up. So they kind of

believe in this Jew the you know God. But then because of different culture,

they have different kinds of things as the idolatry happening as well. So

it's been mixed up. So the pure Jews when they pasture you, what's

going on here? You know, like this it's not pure stuff. Yeah,

all right, And so they made a way which is actually longer,

to skirt around and go to Galilee. That's that's the real that's the truth.

You want to go do research, you can find out. So because

I actually did that reading and I found out, oh, actually many Jews

went another way, but Jesus had to pass true marriage. You understand there's

a different meaning here. He did not have to, but he made himself

have to. I have to pass through Samaria. I know I can go

this other way. I think the other ways, like through Jordan, but

I'm gonna make myself pass through Samaria. He had a purpose. Everyone say

a purpose. You know, when we have a purpose, we know what

we're gonna do, even though it's not nice, even though it's not no

feel good, we will make ourselves. I will have to do this because

this is what I'm here to do, all right, So I understand that

meaning is loaded. He had to pass through because we know later what he

does. Okay, and then, yeah, Jesus will go through Samaria to

save us. He will. He will pass through whatever the fire Samaria,

the places that it's not comfortable. He will do it to save us because

we need to be saved. A man Samaria needed to be saved. Amen.

Okay, let's move on. Let's move on. Jacob's well was there,

so Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside

the well. It was about a sixth hour. A woman from Samaria came

to draw water. Jesus said to her, give me a drink. Let's

pause here, Um, maybe just read on. Let's just finish reading first.

Next one, for his disciples had gone away into the city to buy

food. The Samaritan woman said to him, how is it that you,

a Jew, asked for a drink from from me as a woman of Samaria,

For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Right, So let's go back

to the previous light or I think, yeah, previous light one more sorry?

Next, yes, this one thanks thanks to Sarah O yay. So

there was a well there Jesus wearied. So we know that Jesus felt tie

fitness, all right, and he went to the well. Jesus felt tightness.

You know what, I think he's he planned the tiredness. You know

what Jesus doesn't. There's no accidents on Jesus. So I'm gonna make myself

tired. He knows, he knows all the human conditions. After a while,

this is you know, a human's gonna get tired here, he's gonna

get thirsty here. I know that I'm gonna make myself tired. I gona

make myself thirsty because I'm gonna go to Samaria and I have to right now

and he goes, all right, I'm feeling tired. Oh, this is

how it feels to be tired, because Gardner it God never feels tired,

and so interesting tiredness, all right, thirsty, noess, Oh, now

I know how they feel, all right, And so he now I'm feeling

those things. And then he goes there to this place and I'm gonna ask

for water. I know who's coming. I know who's coming. So now

this girl, this lady comes right and you know, again the Jews don't

talk to these people. They're half breeds in that sense right there. They're

unclean people to the Jews, right, But Jesus makes himself speak to her.

Right, he says, give me a drink. That's really a strange

thing, you know, like God asking you for a drink. You know,

you know he can make water. He can he can make rain like

fall in his mouth, right, he can he can get I don't know,

I know, a burden. I'm sorry. Maybe that's been the team.

But you know he can get anything. He can get it done.

Right. But of all the methods he does this, Hey, give me

a drink, asked This lady that has a problem, says, you give

me a drink. I know a lot of people won't talk to you.

Actually, I know you know you have a lot of problems. But I'm

going to ask you for a drink. And you know what I want to

tell you. Sometimes God seems to make himself appear like he's weak. Right

now, you see our instruments like this, Hey, why yah? Right,

it isn't got strong enough to, you know, make all the instruments

appear, all the all the musicians they are jamming loud, you know,

bigger venue, lights, whatever. Right, isn't got powerful more powerful to

do this? But but now it seems like okay, quite, um,

what do you call budget? Something like that? But you know budget on

these people, you know what they pay the price to come in practice and

you know, choose the songs come early, all right? But sometimes it

seems like that. Why because Jesus wants to ask you, Hey, can

you serve? Or not? Right? Hey? X kids? You know

you know why we don't have x kis today. It's intentional. It's intentional

meaning our our excuse teachers are small in number at this moment. Praise God.

I thank God, you know for the students that we have who have

signed up and they're going through training or the MMU students. Hallelujah MMU students.

All right, So they availed themselves and still training last. So that's

why we didn't pressure them and say hey every week ex kids are okay,

Yeah, we didn't do that. So we intentionally let them have a break

so they can come and be part of us as well. So that's why

thank your parents. Thank your parents were understanding that we don't have this at

the moment because we also want to give them a break. All right.

So but it is intentional. Right, God seems to sometimes make himself appear

like I'm thirsty, I'm weak, Can you give me something? Because he

wants to ask us and see whether it's a testa you are we going to

avail ourselves to him? Because later on we read all right, said give

me a drink? What's the next one? All right? Okay, now

we read the next one? Okay, Jesus answered her. If you knew

the gift of God and who it is everyone say, who who it is

that is saying to you give me a drink? You would have asked him

and he would have given you what living water? Living water? This water

is greater than that water you're gonna give me from that well. Amen.

The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw water with,

and the well is deep. Where do you get the living water?

Moving on? Next one, next lighte Okay, are you greater than our

father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as

did his sons and his life stock. Jesus said to her, everyone who

drinks of this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks of the water

that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I

will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal

life. Okay, what this means is this, you know, Jesus giving

living water, meaning he's saying, my water that I give you, drink

it, you will not thirst anymore. Correct. It's different from the water

from the well. And it says you will have a spring of water welling

up, meaning it's a water that's overflowing. It's not just for yourself,

it will be a blessing to other people. Amen, how many of you

want that waters? That's not just gonna quench your own thirst, but it's

gonna help others. Amen, Yes, mattheis. You will have it all

right, living water, welling up to eternal life. You will be a

blessing to other people. All right. So Jesus might be asking you,

hey, can you serve me? Can you give me a drink of water?

Can you help be a host? Can you play an instrument? Can

you help lead worship? Can you join the X kids and help us?

Hey, I wanta tell you all exteens, ex teens everyone, any teens

in the house, Kadia like okay, teens finding their voice? Okay,

I heard something, you know what. We had our first X teens cyberjayat

yesterday. There were some preteens or so who joined and the others who are

since many of them rode a train. It was so good. All right,

we went to this place and then we and all the adults that were

there, it was so amazing. Maria did such a beautiful um icebreaker and

got them to share, you know, and uh, doctor Jill was sharing

the message sort of and I think leet was the chapter said, all right,

and then we prayed together, all in KFC. It was all in

KFC. They just yeah, we just booked out the whole place. And

yeahhope As was the guide because he knows the MRT a bit better than us.

Okay, he was his second time riding the train or something, but

he knows better than us, and he brought us and well then we saw

his workplace, you know, at the MRT. It was wonderful. Okay,

So exteen's and the teens who didn't manage to join us want to invite

you to join us for the next one. I'm not sure what we're doing

believe something is gonna be something's gonna explode right in a good way, in

a good way for X campus. We haven't seen it yet. What's going

to happen. But it's als. We ain't seen nothing yet. We ain't

seen nothing yet for x campus. Amen, So that's going to happen.

So if h and we will consider definitely. If you come and you say

I want to help in this, I want to do this, we want

to involve you, honestly, sometimes even I mean the leaders. We are

trying to be as quick as possible also to get people in, but we're

also careful to not simply say yes, you're in now, right because there's

other there's things to be met, right, Remember the word humility. We

want to check that your humble and not for us, meaning are you at

least joining the homes? Are you at least connecting with the church, all

right, So then we know that, okay, we can trust this person

we can trust then okay, then we can involve a bit different now,

although we are very excited to involve people straight away all the time, but

we also need to know whether they can commit or not. All right,

So it is both hand in hand, all right, So don't don't don't

give up on that please, all right, go to homes speak to someone,

all right. We want to see someone who is able to be accountable,

be humble enough to learn and say, and don't come in and say,

hey, I know everything about X kits. I don't need to teach

me anymore. I'm just gonna do it. Man, I'm a pro.

No, they weren't very hard, very hard, because they go to Okay,

this guy's not gonna learn anything. Okay, So h yeah, come

with a humble heart, with a humble spirit and say I'm here to learn,

teach me because I want to serve amen. And you know what,

who is it? Who is It's gonna give us living water. When you

give that little to Jesus, he's gonna give you more. When you give

that little to Jesus, he's gonna give you more. All right, more,

hallelujah, more more. Okay, he's given us more. Okay,

all right, we move on? How we move on? So that's the

point here. Jesus invites us to serve him. Okay. Sometimes he appears

to be like in need. Hey, I don't have enough musicians, I

don't have enough leaders, right, I don't have enough excis teach us?

So he invites us to come serve me, and then he exchanges it for

the supernatural amen, living water. Move on, move on, okay,

we should end soon. Ready, right. The woman said to him,

Sir, give me this water that I will not be thirsty or have to

come here to draw water. Everybody wants this night. Everybody wants supernatural from

God. I believe everyone here as well. Jesus said to her, go

call your husband and come here. The woman answered him, I have no

husband. Jesus said to her, you're right in saying I have no husband,

for you have had five husbands and the one you now have is not

your husband. What you have said is true. All right? What is

Let me see here? Okay, pass here? What's going on here?

Jesus made more disciples. Remember that when he came to Samaria and he met

this lady. Lady, he didn't want to make a convert. He didn't

want to make a convert. He was still here to make a disciple.

He's still here to make a disciple of this lady. And so he went

straight to business. He went straight to ask what's in your phone? You

know what I'm saying. He's here. He's straight away went into what's going

on with your life? I see it all right, And you know,

Jesus very gentle and so leaders. We learn from this. We learn from

this. He still says things like, you're right. You know what you

say is true. He doesn't say you're wrong, you know you're out,

you know you're bad. He doesn't say all that right. You just say,

oh, yeah, you're saying the right thing. You say what is

true. But Yella, you had have had five husbands and one year with

its still not your husband. But he still says the right stuff. You

know. It's skill er this Jesus, we learn from him. Let's humble

ourself. Don't say I can never be like Jesus are so skilled. Of

course we learn. We humble ourself and say, Jesus, you're so good.

Uh, I want to learn from you. That's that's the right attitude.

Okay, if we say, oh, Jesus are so up there,

so skill reready, I can never be like him. Hey, it is

pride, man, that's pride. Stumble ourselves said, Jesus, you are

really so good. Lad, I'm not there yet, always said the word

yet, I'm not there yet, but I think I want to. I

want to be like you. If you're like that, I want to be

like that. So so what he he he doesn't. He's not negative.

But yet he doesn't beat around the bush, you know what I'm saying.

He doesn't suddenly say, oh yeah, you're a very good actually actually are

a very good lad. Nothing wrong with you, don't need to change.

He doesn't lie to her. He still tells the truth in gentleness in love.

So he's still firm. Yet he's encouraging. You know, he wants

to tell people the truth right in love, truth in love. This is

really the example of truth in love. And so he wants to deal.

He still wants to deal with our brokenness, our problems, because that is

what he's doing, is making disciples. He's teaching, he is making you

know, he's helping someone to learn to do the right thing. All right.

So he still points out, Yep, what you're doing is still sin.

Is still sin, all right, and I'm calling it out. I'm

gonna tell you what it is, all right. Jesus wants to deal with

our sin for the supernatural to function through a surrendered life. Okay, why

because it's Lady asked for living water, you see, you know, living

water given to a person there's still living in sin is not gonna work.

It's not gonna work because living water needs to work in the right vessel,

all right, because there is there are things that are in this person,

that's in this person that needs to be worked on so that when she gets

that living water, it can actually function the way it should function. All

right. Do you understand this? It's like, you know, it's like

God, when there's presence or sin, he cannot take it. He doesn't

want that. He still wants to deal with sin because when sin is dealt

with, then things can function and flow, and then he's holy. And

so let's be encouraged. I don't think this negatively that we're humbling ourselves.

Right when Jesus wants to deal with our sin. You know it's actually a

good thing. It's a good thing. The flesh may say no, it's

not, but you know, you're deep down in your spirits saying, yeah,

I want that sin to be dealt with. She's messing my life up,

it's messing my relationships up, it's messing my mind up. The spirit

actually says that the flesh, even my flesh, we'll say no, no,

no, no, no, don't do this, don't say it is

now, come on, right, I want to continue sitting. That's the

flesh. Let's push the flesh down and let's listen to the spirit. The

spirit actually says, I want this living water. I don't want this sit

in my life. I want Jesus to deal with my sin. And if

Jesus wants to check me, I'm going to open up my life to him.

Amen. Amen, and all the spirits say amen. Yes, our

spirits. All right, I'm gonna encourage all all of our spirits here.

Let's say yes to the law. We hope you've been blessed by this message.
