1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,000 Thank you for listening to this message from Life House Church. 2 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Good morning, good morning. Turn to somebody and give them a high five. 3 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000 Tell them it's good to see you at church this morning. Good to hear you worshiping. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000 Come on, give them a high five. Just do it. Just encourage them. Greet someone. 5 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000 You guys do an awesome job, by the way. I don't have to tell you that enough. 6 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000 You do an amazing job of encouraging each other, talking with one another, connecting. 7 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000 We talk about it all the time, but you actually do it. 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000 And I appreciate that so much. It's good to have you here at Life House. 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000 If you're listening online, welcome to the gathering today. 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000 And if you're an East Shore, listening from East Shore, we're just here all to worship together. 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000 No matter what location you're in, what spot you're in, you know, what town you're in, city or even state. 12 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000 I don't know if you know this or not, but there's some people listen to the podcast overseas, which is very cool. 13 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000 So there's part of a Life House family that isn't anywhere near us. 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000 Really across the pond. So it's good to have you this morning. 15 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Well, I want to continue on this morning with the message series that we started last week. 16 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000 It's called Great Conversation. Great Conversation. 17 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000 To your neighbor, tell them it's great conversation today. Great Conversation. 18 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000 I want you to get this in your spirit. And just about everybody I know, I think just about anybody, 19 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000 I was trying to think through this in my head, but I think just about anybody I know wants to get into a good conversation with somebody. 20 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Right. We want to be in conversations that are meaningful, that when you come out of the end of it, it matters in some kind of way. 21 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Right. That it's a life giving conversation and not a life sucking conversation. 22 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Anybody ever have a life sucking conversation? Anybody have one of those this week? Right. 23 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000 You know, it's just like drawing a life out of you. You walk away like I'm dead right now. 24 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000 You know, it's a conversation. And we want to get in that conversation. 25 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000 Even conversations where somebody speaks that missing link. I don't know if you've ever had one of those, 26 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000 but you kind of trying to progress in life. And all of a sudden you get in this conversation. 27 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000 The person says one thing and it's a God thing at the moment. 28 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000 And it's the missing link that you need. And that conversation begins to launch you forward. 29 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:21,000 And it's life changing conversation. And really those conversations that are life changing are by the power of Jesus Christ. 30 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000 It's when Jesus is included in the conversation. So when we walk away from a conversation, we want if you're like me, 31 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000 I want that amazing moment in time. I want to walk away and say, what just happened? 32 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Do you ever talk to someone like that? What just happened? I got in this conversation and all of a sudden, you know, I walked away encouraged. 33 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000 I've done hospital visits already where I was supposed to go and encourage them and they encouraged me. 34 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000 And I'm walking out going, what just happened? Right. 35 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000 Because the power of God's flowing through them and out of them. 36 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000 The whole conversation is dipped in the love of Christ. 37 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000 And really there, you know, there's this Holy Spirit leading through the whole conversation. 38 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000 And you get left walking away from that conversation wanting more. You just want more of it. 39 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000 So we should desire to have conversations like this. 40 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,000 We should desire to want to connect with God and really hear these Jesus conversations. 41 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000 And we should be having these conversations, these God conversations with one another, with people outside this house. 42 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Right. Anywhere we go. And I know this about a conversation. 43 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Anything that involves Jesus, anything that involves his word, anything that involves his character, anything that involves who he is will never fall to the ground void. 44 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:50,000 It'll never be an empty conversation. And you know, Isaiah 55 11, it says this, show shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth. 45 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000 It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please. 46 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:06,000 Anytime you're in a conversation and Jesus is in the conversation or something about Jesus' character or who he is or what he's done. 47 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000 Anytime you're speaking that what you're speaking never falls to the ground. 48 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000 Boy, how many know you can have a lot of conversations that are just nothing conversations. Amen. 49 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:22,000 Come on all day long. Get on the Internet. It's a big old pile of nothing most of the time. Right. 50 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:29,000 It's void, but not when it's Jesus. There's when Jesus in the middle. So God's word never returns void. 51 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000 We want to bring that into our conversations. And here's what happens when you do that. 52 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Your conversation goes from natural conversation to supernatural conversation. It switches. It flips. It was natural. 53 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Now it goes to supernatural. Sometimes people don't even know it. 54 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000 But great conversation moves from this natural world to the supernatural and it always leads to life. 55 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,000 And Jesus teaches us through conversations. If we what's what we're doing right now, we're we're going to do it all the month long. 56 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000 We're going to be looking at Jesus conversations and he teaches us how to ease into say ease. 57 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000 So you're like, how do I get there? Right. You got to ease into it. 58 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:13,000 How to ease into these great conversations that are spirit field that they're following that Jesus is threaded all through it. 59 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000 And he shows us in the work. So if you got your Bible this morning, you're going to be turned into John chapter four. 60 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,000 John chapter four. We're going to start off at verse one this morning. While you're turning, I'm praying. All right. 61 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Father, thank you for this day. Your blessings, your mercy. I thank you for the word God that you placed in our hearts. 62 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000 And Lord God, the word that is written before us, God, that we might have a guide that we might know who you are. 63 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:45,000 God, that we might chase hard after you. And Lord God, just right this morning, your word on our hearts that we might walk before you in the greatness of your spirit. 64 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000 In Jesus name and everybody said together. Amen. 65 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:55,000 You all there? John chapter four, verse one, it says this. All right. Did somebody say nope or yep? Yep. 66 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000 I couldn't tell. I could tell it was a yep or nope. 67 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:06,000 John chapter four, verse one says, Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 68 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000 though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples, he left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 69 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000 He needed to go through Samaria. Now I want you just to get the picture a little bit. 70 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,000 So we're going to flip up a map onto the screens and it's going to help you see just a little bit. 71 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Jesus is on the move. He's traveling. He's leaving one area. 72 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000 He's going from the area of Judea and he's traveling north to Galilee. 73 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,000 But to get to Galilee, he's got to pass through the area of Samaria. 74 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,000 So he's on his travels and on his travels while he's going, Jesus takes a lunch break. 75 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000 All right. How many know when you travel, it's necessary to take a lunch break. 76 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Who's with me in the house? Who's with me online this morning? Come on. 77 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000 It's necessary. Listen. All right. 78 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000 Correction. It's necessary for me to take a lunch break when I travel. All right. 79 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000 It's part of the fun. It's part of the travels. 80 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000 You've got to stop and get some new food somewhere different. Right. 81 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000 Or even if you're on a turnpike and you've got to stop at one of the rest stops along the way, 82 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 you get to walk through the little quick shop and pick out what you want for snacks. 83 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000 And you've got to go on over, pick out your meal. And you get to. 84 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,000 It's part of the trip. Now I know for some of you, that's not a concept. Right. 85 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000 Some of you are sitting in the house. It's like I've got to get to my destination at all costs. Right. 86 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,000 And we must not stop. Who's in the house? Come on. Right. 87 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000 You'll pack munchies. Right. You'll pee in a bottle. 88 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Come on, man. Whatever it takes. You're going to get to where you're going and we will not stop. Right. 89 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000 The children are in the back dying. You know, we're going to get there. 90 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000 We'll revive you when we get there. Right. But Jesus. 91 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000 I want you to pick this out. Jesus stopped for lunch, by the way, y'all. All right. Just say it. 92 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,000 He stops for lunch and he's going to have a great conversation in the area of Samaria. 93 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000 A supernatural conversation with a woman at the well. 94 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000 And it brings up a point before we even go any further in scripture. 95 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000 It really brings up something that you can draw out of scripture. 96 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000 Great conversations can take place at any location at any time. 97 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:18,000 Do you know that any place? Judea, Samaria, Galilee, Mancarlyle, Mount Holly, 98 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Boiling Springs, Harrisburg, Glinglesound, Stilton, wherever you live, wherever you come from, you can fill in the blank. 99 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Right. But great conversations don't have to happen in one spot. 100 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000 They can happen any day, any time, right? Any time, day or night. 101 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Conversations could take place. Great conversations. 102 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000 It could be at a midnight snack in the middle of the night. 103 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000 It could be planned. It could be unplanned conversation. Right. 104 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,000 It can be with a complete stranger or somebody that you know very close. Right. 105 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000 It can it can cross social, economic and physical barriers. 106 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000 You can have a conversation in places you normally wouldn't. 107 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,000 And they can even occur, you know, in places that you would not expect. 108 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Great conversations can happen for you and I. 109 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,000 And Jesus, full of Jesus conversation just about anywhere you go. 110 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000 Please don't wait for the perfect setting. 111 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000 We do that sometimes. Right. We're going to wait for the perfect setting. 112 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Don't wait till you get them in church. 113 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000 Don't wait until it's youth group or life group or or so, you know, or Jesus conference. 114 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000 Right. You go to some Jesus conference somewhere. 115 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Don't think that all the conditions have to be perfectly aligned. 116 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000 Whatever that means. Right. Go. 117 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000 You can speak. Most evangelism does not happen in here. 118 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Some evangelism happens. Evangelism happens out there. 119 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,000 You're having conversations in random places that you'd never dream of. 120 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:51,000 I remember I had a friend who came to the Lord and it came through conversations just in everyday life. 121 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000 We used to travel from spot to spot. The work job I used to have. 122 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000 I had to go in different locations and he and I would get together. 123 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Sometimes we'd be working to work with one another and we would just go place to place. 124 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000 And all along the way, we're having conversations. Right. 125 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000 We're just going all along the way and have a conversation. 126 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000 We had dozens of conversations just traveling in the truck, getting to the next location to work. 127 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000 And we talked and we talked. And at some point along the way, I don't even really know when it happened. 128 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000 I'd like to say we stopped and had that magical prayer that we all talk about. 129 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000 But something flipped in his heart and he began to follow Jesus. 130 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,000 And I actually moved away and I remember going back years later and these guys chasing God. 131 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,000 He's after it. And he said it all came from those conversations in the truck. 132 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000 It isn't one location where this takes place. It can happen anywhere. 133 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000 Someone might say, well, you don't know. You don't understand where I work. 134 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000 I can have conversations there. Right. Because some of you are under restrictions where you work. 135 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000 You can't have religious culture. Well, maybe you can't evangelize. 136 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000 Maybe you can't try to pull somebody in. But how many know they can't stop you from telling your story. 137 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000 You can tell your story all day long. 138 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000 There's no place in this least in this country where you can't share your story. 139 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000 They you might not be able to say, well, I need you to come to my church or I'd love for you to come to my church. 140 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000 Right. But you can share your story. 141 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000 You can have great conversations anywhere. 142 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000 Divine appointments say divine appointments. 143 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000 So what they are there. Divine appointments. You can have not divine appointments. 144 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000 The word of God says that the earth is the Lord's and everything therein. 145 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000 It's all his. All right. 146 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Any location you find any place you go. Right. 147 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000 You can do it. Well, Jesus takes a lunch break at a well of Jacob. 148 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000 That's the location he was at. 149 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000 He sends his disciples away to a nearby city. 150 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,000 A car to pick up some chick fil a. All right. And bring it back. 151 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Unless it was Sunday, then it would be open. 152 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000 But anyways, I'm just kidding. That's not a scripture. 153 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000 But it's a divine appointment that takes place. 154 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000 All right. So verse five says this. 155 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,000 So he came to a city of Samaria, which is called Sikar near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his sons. 156 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000 Joseph. Now, Jacob's well was there. 157 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Jesus, therefore, being worried from his journey, sat thus by the well. 158 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000 It was about the sixth hour, which is new. 159 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000 And a woman of Samaria came to draw water. 160 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Jesus said to her, Give me a drink. 161 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Say it. Give me a drink. Give me a drink for his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 162 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000 I'm going to draw a super deep theological concept from this passage of scripture. 163 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000 All right. Something that we observe that Jesus and his interaction with this woman. 164 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000 You ready for it? 165 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,000 Great conversations when happen, when we start a conversation. 166 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000 All right. I know this is deep. Right. 167 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000 You're like, I got up early for this. Right. 168 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:49,000 Great conversations happen when or with starting a conversation. 169 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000 You got to start it. You got to hear me in this. 170 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000 This is why most evangelism never happens. Right. 171 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:03,000 This is why millions of people go by every single day and they never hear about the life changing story of Jesus Christ. 172 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000 Because we never start a conversation with them. 173 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000 We never start. We never get it going in the first place. 174 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000 Listen, Jesus could have stuck. 175 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,000 He comes to this well, you know, of Jacob and it's in Samaria. 176 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,000 And he could have stuck to the social norms of the day because the social norms of that day would have dictated that a Jew never talks to a Samaritan. 177 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000 And Samaritan never talks to a Jew. 178 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:31,000 Add on to that layer that he was a Jewish man talking to a Samaritan woman. 179 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,000 He could have said, you know what, the social norm, you know, it was it would have been completely expected that he wouldn't have said one word. 180 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000 She came, got her water, right, filled up her water pictures or whatever she was carrying to haul the water back. 181 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000 And she would have just left. 182 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000 And Jesus just would have waited for the chick fil a to come back. 183 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Right. He could have just sat there. 184 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000 But Jesus starts a conversation with her anyway, even though his disciples, they come back and be like, 185 00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,000 they come back and be shocked that he was talking to a Samaritan woman, even though it was very unnatural for this woman. 186 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,000 Right. Very naturally, he starts a conversation. 187 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000 And it's so simple. 188 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000 She's coming to the well, right. 189 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000 They're sitting by a well. 190 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000 That's a natural thing. 191 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000 And he comes, she comes to the well and you can see him just sitting there and he says, hey, give me water. 192 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000 Give me a drink. 193 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000 Give me some water. 194 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:29,000 He breaks the silence with a simple request, very natural request, probably shocks the woman coming to the well. 195 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Great conversations can start with a simple request. 196 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,000 Right. 197 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000 A simple question. 198 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000 Give me a drink. 199 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000 Give me a drink. 200 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000 This is brilliant. 201 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000 This is brilliant. 202 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:48,000 See, asking a question or something, asking something of someone, it is a brilliant thing to do to start a conversation. 203 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000 If you ask a question, somebody's got to answer the question. 204 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000 Right. 205 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000 They've got to engage. 206 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000 I mean, unless they're completely rude. 207 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000 Right. 208 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000 If they're completely rude, they could turn around and walk away. 209 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000 But most people, nine out of ten, ninety-nine out of a hundred, won't. 210 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000 If you ask them a question, what's your name? 211 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000 Oh, hi, Ryan. 212 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000 Look, he answered the question. 213 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Right. 214 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,000 If you ask the question, especially if you look at him like this, right. 215 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000 If you ask them the question, they're going to answer it. 216 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000 They're going to get engaged. 217 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000 And they might not like it. 218 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000 They might not love it. 219 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000 They might say, well, you know, give me, Jesus could have said, give me a drink of water. 220 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000 She could have said yes. 221 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000 She could have said no. 222 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000 She could have said maybe. 223 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000 She could have said, who do you think you are? 224 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Right. 225 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000 She could have said, you know, she could have said any number of things. 226 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000 But the reality is she's got to say something back. 227 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000 And dialogue begins. 228 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Something starts. 229 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000 Right. 230 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000 Great conversation can start with something super simple. 231 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000 Sometimes we come into evangelism and we think it's the most complicated thing in the world. 232 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000 How in the world am I going to talk to this person who doesn't know anything about Jesus? 233 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000 How am I going to get this conversation going? 234 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000 Don't walk up and say, can I talk to you about Jesus right now? 235 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000 Because they're going to probably say no or they're going to run. 236 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000 Right. 237 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000 Just start with something simple. 238 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000 We're going to get to Jesus. 239 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000 But start with something natural that's going on. 240 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000 Jesus himself did it. 241 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Right. 242 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000 He could have, listen, he's the son of God. 243 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000 He could have started with anything. 244 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000 He says, you know, get me some water. 245 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000 Just get me some water. 246 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000 You could ask a question like what's your name? 247 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000 Where are you from? 248 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Do you have family in the area? 249 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000 Right. 250 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000 How can I help you today? 251 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000 You could start with a host of different questions because it demands an answer. 252 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000 It starts a conversation. 253 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,000 We, you know, just ask. 254 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000 Just start the conversation. 255 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:48,000 And if you can't think of a question to ask, if you can't, how many of you know sometimes we panic when we're going to go up to talk to somebody. 256 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,000 Right. 257 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000 A thousand things are going through our head and we're panicking. 258 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000 Just ask them something about themselves. 259 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000 Like where did you get those shoes? 260 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000 Right. 261 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000 Where are you from? 262 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000 Kind of question. 263 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000 I don't know if you realize this or not, but they've done research. 264 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:09,000 And one of our favorite subjects to talk about is ourselves. 265 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000 It really is. 266 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Okay. 267 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000 Sixty percent of all conversation that takes place is about ourselves. 268 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000 It's reflecting back to ourselves. 269 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000 And if you go online, that that stat actually jumps to 80 percent. 270 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000 Right. 271 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000 Eighty percent of the time people that are online, they're talking about themselves. 272 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Sixty percent of the time if you're in a normal conversation, they're talking about themselves. 273 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000 They've actually done scientific study on this. 274 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000 Ended up in Scientific America. 275 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000 American. 276 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000 I read a little article about it. 277 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000 I don't actually subscribe to that magazine. 278 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000 But it was research from Harvard. 279 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000 And what they did is they actually they measured this. 280 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000 The Harvard students. 281 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,000 They they they had participants engage in this and they actually monitored their brains. 282 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:59,000 They they checked their brain activity and it began to show up that when they monitored them and people started talking to themselves, it brought pleasure to them. 283 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000 All right. 284 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000 It was almost they said it was on the lines of of comfort food. 285 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000 When you eat comfort food, their brains started lighting up just like when you eat pizza. 286 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,000 Right. 287 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000 Or you have whatever your fried fried chicken, pizza, macaroni, cheese, whatever is your thing. 288 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Right. 289 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000 Whatever it is, the same thing. 290 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000 They even said it's kind of like when somebody takes cocaine. 291 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Right. 292 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000 They said it's the same kind of thing. 293 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000 There's this pleasure thing that happens. 294 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000 It's inherently pleasurable to talk about yourself. 295 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:32,000 So if you want to get a conversation going and you're not sure where to start with somebody, just ask them about themselves. 296 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000 Say, hey, who are you? 297 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000 You know, tell me a little bit about yourself. 298 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000 Right. 299 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000 And boom, you're off and running. 300 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000 It's natural. 301 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000 Ask them about them. 302 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000 Turn to somebody right now. 303 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000 Say, tell me about yourself. 304 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000 Just go to turn. 305 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000 Tell me about yourself. 306 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000 All right. 307 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000 That's all it takes right there. 308 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000 Right. 309 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,000 And this is a starting point to lead to a new life conversation in Jesus. 310 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,000 And you know, and you want a crazy thought with all this. 311 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000 You know, the crazy thought is with this. 312 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000 People could die and go to hell if I don't start a conversation with them. 313 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000 That's sobering, isn't it? 314 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,000 People could die and go to hell because I don't start a conversation with them. 315 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000 We never get to Jesus because I never even started. 316 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000 I want you to try it this week. 317 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000 I want you to find somebody you don't know. 318 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000 Maybe somebody you do know that didn't hear this message. 319 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000 Right. 320 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000 Find somebody you don't know. 321 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000 Find somebody you do know. 322 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000 And I want you to start a conversation with them. 323 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000 You could be in the grocery store. 324 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,000 You could be at work. 325 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000 Somebody you normally don't talk to. 326 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000 Just go up and ask them about them and see where it starts to go. 327 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000 How many of you got to take the first step before you can ever take a second step? 328 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000 This is the first step. 329 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000 I'm giving you something super practical here because Jesus did it. 330 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Right. 331 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000 Simply ask to get the conversation rolling. 332 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000 Jesus requests water and this Samaritan woman responds. 333 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000 Verse 9 says this. 334 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:05,000 Then the woman of Samaria said to him, how is it that you being a Jew ask a drink of me, a Samaritan woman? 335 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,000 She's confused. 336 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,000 Right. 337 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,000 What's happening? 338 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Right. 339 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000 For Jews have no dealing with Samaritans. 340 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000 You talking to me, Jesus? 341 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,000 You know, the conversation's launched. 342 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000 It's on its way. 343 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:23,000 Jesus answered and said to her, if you knew the gift of God and who it is, who says to you, give me a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you water. 344 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,000 The next phrase right that Jesus engages in is amazing. 345 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,000 It's just brilliant. 346 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000 And it really leads to the next thing. 347 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:38,000 Great conversation moves from the natural to the supernatural in a couple of phrases. 348 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Jesus starts off with something very natural. 349 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,000 Water, right? 350 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,000 Give me a drink. 351 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000 She responds in kind talking about how Samaritan Jews don't talk. 352 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000 And in the very next breath, Jesus moves the whole conversation to the supernatural. 353 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000 He takes it to a different place. 354 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000 He catches her attention. 355 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:03,000 I think Jesus knew if he doesn't get this conversation going, if he doesn't move it along, she's going to get some water and leave. 356 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000 She's just headed out of there. 357 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Right. 358 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:12,000 She's already thinking Jesus, I'm going to use the term my grandson uses, she's already thinking Jesus is sus. 359 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,000 All right. 360 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000 I learned that from my eight-year-old grandson. 361 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000 I had no idea what that thing meant. 362 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000 It means suspect or suspicious. 363 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,000 Right. 364 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,000 He's like, Poppy, you're sus. 365 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000 You know. 366 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000 But she's already thinking that in this situation. 367 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:34,000 And she's and Jesus engages and he goes and look, he moves from the natural with water and he moves right to the supernatural. 368 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:41,000 He goes right to if you knew the gift of God, all of a sudden it goes from the water and she's like, what gift of God? 369 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Right. 370 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000 And who would says to you, give me a drink? 371 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000 You would have asked him and he would have given you living water. 372 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000 What in the world is living water? 373 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000 Who is this that's talking to me? 374 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000 He starts talking about stuff that's beyond the natural. 375 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000 He starts moving into the supernatural. 376 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000 He starts talking about living water. 377 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000 See how it relates. 378 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000 Right. 379 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000 He's just grabbing a hold of what was natural and he's sliding it right over into the supernatural. 380 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,000 In one phrase, Jesus shifts the entire conversation in one phrase. 381 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:24,000 He moves it from this world that we live in that everybody talks about all the time in natural and all of a sudden he begins to move her over to where God exists. 382 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,000 Right. 383 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,000 She's all of a sudden in a different realm. 384 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000 She's all of a sudden hearing something that she's never heard before. 385 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000 And we all want to understand the supernatural. 386 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,000 I don't know if you realize that or not. 387 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,000 There's a God sized hole in each side of every one of us. 388 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000 Every human being on the face you can count on this and every person on the face of the earth. 389 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000 There's this God sized hole in you if you don't know God. 390 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000 If you don't know Jesus as Lord and Savior. 391 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,000 And there's this thing inside of us that longs for the supernatural. 392 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000 We long for the power of God in our lives. 393 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,000 We long to know someone that's bigger than we are. 394 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,000 Right. 395 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,000 The creator of all things. 396 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000 It's there. 397 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000 Even if you don't recognize it, it's there. 398 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000 This is why people watch documentaries on aliens. 399 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,000 Right. 400 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000 They're fascinated with the extraterrestrial. 401 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000 All those shows right where somebody's walking around in a dark thing with a flashlight. 402 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,000 Look, there's an orb of light. 403 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000 You know, they're walking around. 404 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,000 They play your music. 405 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000 They're fascinated with it. 406 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,000 They spend. 407 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:24,000 We spend millions of dollars going to movies about superheroes who have superpowers. 408 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,000 People carry around gems and crystals and they call on these crystals or they rub them. 409 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000 So they're hoping they get some superpower. 410 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000 Then the innermost part of us, this spirit. 411 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,000 Right. 412 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000 The eternal part of us. 413 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:43,000 There's something looking for what's beyond the natural and great conversation moves from 414 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,000 the natural to the supernatural. 415 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000 It slides over there. 416 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Right. 417 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,000 You we can't have a car. 418 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000 We got to we got to move the conversation from natural to supernatural. 419 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,000 We got to begin to talk about new life, new birth, birth, born again. 420 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,000 Right. 421 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,000 Living water. 422 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,000 People don't know what that is, man. 423 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000 It's living water that springs up out of you. 424 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000 Right. 425 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Peace that passes all understanding. 426 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000 People want to know about that. 427 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000 People are full of anxiety these days. 428 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000 Talk about the peace that passes all understanding. 429 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,000 God Himself, the Holy Spirit living within us, God living within us. 430 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000 Right. 431 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000 God had given us the power to change from the inside out. 432 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000 You can start talking about all these supernatural things. 433 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000 You can shift it from natural to supernatural because you live in a world that people don't 434 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000 believe that anybody can change. 435 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000 Ever hear that that saying somebody says that their tiger never changes its stripes. 436 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,000 That's what that means. 437 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,000 People say things like that. 438 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000 Oh, people never change. 439 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Oh, yes, they do. 440 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000 And Jesus, I've watched it. 441 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000 There's this amazing change that takes place. 442 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Right. 443 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000 There's a world that says that you can't have new life unless you find yourself. 444 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,000 But Jesus says if you die to yourself, right, you're going to find new life in him. 445 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,000 It's a supernatural thing. 446 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000 The world doesn't believe in a past. 447 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000 A piece of past is all understanding. 448 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,000 They believe in enlightenment. 449 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:07,000 They believe that if you get enough knowledge, enough education, if you get enough self-awareness, 450 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,000 that all of a sudden you're going to have the piece of past is all understanding. 451 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,000 Except it doesn't work because the piece comes from somebody that's beyond us. 452 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,000 Right. 453 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000 There's a source for our peace. 454 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000 We got to move from the natural to the supernatural. 455 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000 We got to shift what we're saying and how we're saying it. 456 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,000 Everybody hear what I'm saying this morning. 457 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000 Amen. 458 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000 It's true. 459 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000 There is living water. 460 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:35,000 There's supernatural water in Jesus Christ and the conversation's got to move. 461 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000 What if we piqued somebody's curiosity? 462 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000 That's what Jesus did to this woman. 463 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000 She's getting water and he's like, how would you like some living water? 464 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000 How would you like some water where you will never ever get thirsty again? 465 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000 Huh? 466 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000 Listen, she carried her water. 467 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000 She wasn't like us, right. 468 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,000 We can go over to the faucet. 469 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000 They carried their water for miles. 470 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000 This looks pretty appealing to her. 471 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,000 Right. 472 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:04,000 John chapter four eleven says the woman said to him, sir, you have nothing to draw with in the well is deep. 473 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000 Jesus asked for water. 474 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000 Where then do you think you get that? 475 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,000 Where then do you get that living water? 476 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:18,000 Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well and drank from it himself as well as his sons and his livestock? 477 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,000 Jesus answered and said to her, whoever drinks of this water will thirst again. 478 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000 But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give them will never thirst. 479 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,000 But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life. 480 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,000 And the woman said to him, sir, give me this water that I might not thirst nor come here to draw. 481 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000 She doesn't understand at all. 482 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000 Right. 483 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000 She doesn't have her head completely wrapped at all. 484 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,000 But she wants it. 485 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,000 She wants this supernatural water that Jesus is offering. 486 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,000 And sixteen says, Jesus said to her, go call your husband and come here. 487 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000 And the woman answered and said, I have no husband. 488 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:03,000 And Jesus said to her, you have well said you have I have no husband for you to have had five husbands. 489 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:09,000 And the one in whom you now have is not your husband in that you spoke truly. 490 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000 Last point of the conversation today. 491 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,000 Great conversation. 492 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:20,000 Let Jesus use you supernaturally in the great conversation. 493 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:28,000 Jesus supernaturally knows that this woman not only just has a heart, does not have a husband at the moment, 494 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000 but she's had five husbands and she's currently living with a man. 495 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000 She's currently outside of the bonds of marriage. 496 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000 She's currently living in sin. 497 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000 And how does he know this? 498 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000 Listen, there was no Facebook back then. 499 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,000 Right. 500 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,000 There was no Instagram. 501 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000 There was no he wasn't checking up on social media before. 502 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,000 He didn't get his cell phone out. 503 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,000 Right. 504 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000 And check it on social media. 505 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000 It doesn't even say her name in the word of God. 506 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000 Right. 507 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,000 There was no Facebook. 508 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000 There was none of that. 509 00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,000 Jesus is equipped with what every believer is equipped with now because he left and came and sent the Holy Spirit. 510 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,000 The Holy Spirit speaks to Jesus and he knows in his heart that she's had five. 511 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000 He knows exactly where her passage. 512 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000 He knows exactly where she is in the present. 513 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000 And Jesus wants that for us. 514 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,000 He wants us. 515 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,000 That's that's why the word of God says that we get baptized in the spirit. 516 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000 We get immersed in the spirit of God so that God can get. 517 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:27,000 Well, listen, when we get in a conversation so he can make it supernatural for us, he can move in you. 518 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000 Jesus displayed what the word of God talks about in Corinthians. 519 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000 It's a word of knowledge. 520 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,000 He had knowledge of a situation that was way beyond anything that would be natural. 521 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000 There's no way he could have known this woman's past. 522 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:51,000 But supernaturally, God, the Holy Spirit speaks to Jesus and tells him and he has knowledge of the situation by unnatural means. 523 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000 Right. 524 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,000 Supernatural. 525 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,000 He knows her past. 526 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000 He knows her presence. 527 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Let Jesus use you supernaturally in conversation. 528 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:10,000 Let me read out of the Book of Acts, verse one says, and being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the father, which he said, You have heard from me. 529 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000 For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit. 530 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000 Not many days from now. 531 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom of Israel? 532 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:28,000 And he said to them, It's not for you to know the times or the seasons which the father's put in his own authority, but you shall receive what power? 533 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,000 Right. 534 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:39,000 When the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witness to me, you will witness to me of me in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth. 535 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:49,000 Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit supernatural power as provision for the great conversations that we have the Jesus conversations that we have. 536 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000 So we carry the supernatural into the great conversation. 537 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,000 He'll tell us he'll tell you what you need to know when you need to know it in a conversation. 538 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000 If you're leaning on I hear Christians say this all the time. 539 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:10,000 They'll tell me, man, pastor, I got into this conversation with someone and they didn't know Jesus and I don't even know how it all started. 540 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000 We started talking for a few minutes and I don't even know what happened. 541 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000 All of a sudden I just had this wisdom. 542 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000 All of a sudden I just had these words to speak out. 543 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000 Right. 544 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000 And they're like, I spoke for an hour. 545 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000 We just talked back and forth. 546 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,000 They're talking about Jesus. 547 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Do you know what that was? 548 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000 That was a Holy Spirit. 549 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,000 It wasn't you. 550 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000 He's speaking in you and through you. 551 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000 And he's giving you the words you need in the moment. 552 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000 I hear it all the time. 553 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000 I love it when I hear those stories. 554 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000 You come up to me and you say, I don't know. 555 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000 It wasn't me. 556 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000 They'll say, I wouldn't me. 557 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000 I don't know. 558 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,000 It wasn't you. 559 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,000 It was the Holy Spirit working through you and in you. 560 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,000 This is how we move from natural conversations to supernatural conversation. 561 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,000 Right. 562 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000 The woman's life is forever changed. 563 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000 She realizes that Jesus is the Messiah. 564 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,000 She realizes this went from a natural conversation to a supernatural conversation. 565 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,000 And in verse 28, it says she runs back to her city. 566 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000 She leaves the waterpots there. 567 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000 She forgot what she was doing. 568 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,000 Right. 569 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,000 She leaves the waterpots there. 570 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:21,000 She runs back to the city and she starts to tell people, you need to come meet a man who told me everything about me. 571 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000 Everything he knows about me. 572 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,000 Right. 573 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,000 A conversation. 574 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000 A conversation. 575 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000 I'm going to ask if you'd stand this morning. 576 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:59,000 A great conversation. 577 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Thank you.
