Jesus visited Samaria in John 4. The focus there is on understanding ripe harvest fields! Our eyes must focus on what Jesus is doing, not on what we want or expect him to do “for us”. How do we think about sowing and harvesting? What is different when we follow the Lord of the Harvest!
Things are different when Philip comes. This is the next step to the advancement of the Kingdom of God:
The Kingdom advances in the following ways:
1. Through persecution
2. Through preaching the Word with signs and wonders following: what we do and what God does!
3. Through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit – what is God’s method? His desire? His Purpose?
4. Through overcoming internal struggles – where does the devil have a hold on us?
What are our areas of disobedience, or our struggles with trusting God?
Come to Jesus in an open way, do not hold back when the Spirit of God is moving upon you.
