Faith and God's Promises

Hebrews 11:1"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

Romans 10:17"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."

Transformation through Faith

Romans 12:2"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

2 Corinthians 5:17"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"

Power of Spoken Word

Proverbs 18:21"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

Mark 11:23"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."

Asking in Jesus' Name

John 14:13-14"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."

Matthew 7:7-8"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

Living Water and Teachings of Jesus

John 4:13-14"Jesus answered, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'"

John 7:38"Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."

Victory and Promises of God

1 John 5:4-5"For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."

2 Peter 1:4"Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires."

Avoiding the Table of the Evil King

Proverbs 23:6-7"Do not eat the food of a begrudging host, do not crave his delicacies; for he is the kind of person who is always thinking about the cost. 'Eat and drink,' he says to you, but his heart is not with you."

The living water and the Samaritan:

John 4:7-26: 7 - When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?"

8 - (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

9 - The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

10 - Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."

11 - "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?

12 - Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?"

13 - Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,

14 - but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

15 - The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."

16 - He told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."

17 - "I have no husband," she replied. Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband.

18 - The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."

19 - "Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet.

20 - Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."

21 - "Woman," Jesus replied, "believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22 - You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23 - Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

24 - God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."

25 - The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."

26 - Then Jesus declared, "I, the one speaking to you—I am he."
