Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour. A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water. (John 4: 6-7 HCSB)
I was reading from a book, titled, “ Prayers that Bring Healing and Activate Blessings,” By John Eckhardt. In this particular passage, which takes place in John 4: 6-7. Jesus is returning for a long journey and stops to rest. There he meets a Samaritan woman. The woman showed not physical need of healing, but Jesus knew she needed a spiritual healing. Her need for this healing, was being drawn from the spiritual well, Jesus had within Him, was being played out by her physical need to draw water from Jacob’s well. The more she pressed and the more she surrendered to the longing for wholeness in her heart, the deeper she dug into the well of the Spirit. At one point she demanded, “ Sir, give this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.” The woman put the demand on the Spirit that would never be refused.
When we are thirsty for the healing, we dig deep, into the well of the Spirit. Just like this woman, we can demand on the healing anointing and draw from it. There is a never -ending supply of the Spirit to EVERY believer. Many times we sit back, waiting on God to do something, when the He has already placed the well in our midst to draw from it. Dig and dig until YOU find the water of your Spirit.
