Divine Encounters: Jacob's Well
God has known you since before you were even born, and He set a Divine Appointment for you to encounter HIm. We don't always remember the date or other circumstances, but we usually remember the place.
God set a Divine Appointment for Jesus to meet with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well in Sychar in Samaria. Jesus and His disciples were travelling from Judea to Galilee. He could have avoided going through Samaria, but God had set up a Divine Appointment that He couldn't miss. A woman who had gone to the well many times was supposed to be there at the exact same time as Jesus. The Divine Appointment led to a Divine Encounter. The normalcy of the well in the past would now forever be a place of remembrance for her. Because of one woman's encounter with Jesus and her testimony (her willingness to share about Jesus), many more people experienced a Divine Encounter with Jesus.
John 4:39-42 - Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers. They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”
Religious Testimony: A personal, public declaration of faith or a spiritual life experience regarding God's work or grace.
Who needs to hear your testimony?
