(Samaritans where half Jews and not accepted by the Jews.)\u00a0 Jesus wants to have an appointment with you today.<\/li>\n<li>Jesus met this lady doing a daily task; you may be a divine appointment for someone.\u00a0 You may do this by just handing someone a tract at work or speaking to them about Jesus.\u00a0 Your daily task is where God is working, don\u2019t under estimate your job or daily errors, God is using them.<\/li>\n<li>Verse 10: \u00a0If you knew!\u00a0 I want to know the gift of God!\u00a0 I want to know God! I want the living water that satisfies my soul.\u00a0 Seek Jesus in Spirit and in truth.\u00a0 You\u2019re doing that right now by reading His Word.\u00a0 This is seeking Jesus and worshiping Jesus in Truth.\u00a0 Second you worship in Spirit through the Spirit that God gave us when we became born again.\u00a0 This is your divine appointment with Jesus right now; He must meet with you and me today.\u00a0\u00a0Will you take the time to stop?\u00a0 The cool part is Jesus already knows our sins, she had five husbands! Don\u2019t let your sins stop you from coming to Christ,\u00a0just confess them and forsake them.<\/li>\n<li>The harvest is now.\u00a0 There are many people wanting to know the true Jesus and we need to harvest them by sharing the gospel.\u00a0 Jesus&#8217; disciples baptized many, but Jesus was always harvesting as well as disciplining people.<\/li>\n<li>Verse 40 is awesome to me, they asked Jesus to stay and He did.\u00a0 Are we in too much of a hurry to stop and spend time with Jesus?\u00a0 Jesus is willing to stay longer with us, but we too often push Him away.<\/li>\n<li>Verse 49: \u00a0A man comes to seek healing for his son.\u00a0 Jesus didn\u2019t have to leave and go to this man\u2019s house.\u00a0 Jesus just spoke the word, and his son would be saved.\u00a0 Are you praying for Jesus to speak a word into your child\u2019s life?\u00a0 Keep praying for that word to come for God is at work and desires to heal.<\/li>\n<li>What an exciting chapter!\u00a0 I pray God has shown you something and has spoken to your soul.\u00a0 This is day four and if you are a day behind, just keep reading.\u00a0\u00a0 We are seeking time with the Lord not a check list of it being done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Keep Reading and share your thoughts and questions.<br \/>\nPastor Joe: mbpastor@fidmail.com<br \/>\nDiane :\u00a0memorial@fidnet.com<br \/>\nPastor Mark : Youth@mbcnewhaven.com<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":1167,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bible-reading","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=906"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":908,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/906\/revisions\/908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
