The Gospel of John 4:15 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.” (John 4:15 KJV)

In this setting during Bible times, like in other remote and undeveloped parts of the world, it takes hard work and laboring through craggy paths under the hot sun to find and obtain literal water. It must be exciting for this woman to hear about the kind of water that keeps her from wanting to drink again and again and again! Hence, with her mind framed in the physical water that she fetch laboriously from the well, while trying to avoid the crowd, she must be excited to have this opportunity to ask "Sir, give me this water."

Who wouldn't desire for this water? This woman, while she maybe in the natural mindset, said the right words for asking to have this water. We don't know her motives, as well as her body language as she interact with the Lord Jesus Christ. She may have said it with a smirk, or even scoffingly. But, she declared it by the spoken words from her mouth. There is power in the words that we speak (Proverbs 18:21), especially as we ask anything from God, in the name of Christ Jesus. And this woman is asking directly from Him. The Lord Jesus said in one of His teachings: “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:13-14 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
