Our God Saves and He Alters Lives

“…the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up into eternal life.” = John 4:14b

The Bible keeps reintroducing God to us because the enemy keeps trying to distort our view of Him. The enemy does this because he knows the God you see is the God you get. In other words, your perception shapes your reception.

Scripture keeps pulling back the curtain so you don’t settle for a small view of a big God. And He is big. He’s the God who changes stories, seasons, souls, conditions, and circumstances. If it hasn’t changed yet, that doesn’t mean it can’t change. Just because you couldn’t fix it doesn’t mean He can’t. He turns setbacks into setups, bitter waters into sweet, and Crosses into platforms.

But here’s the part many of us miss: YOU have to believe that. If not, you assign power and control to your struggles that try to convince you that they get the last word. But last time I checked, God gets the first and last words.

In John 4, the Samaritan woman at the well wasn’t just stuck in bad decisions; she was stuck in a cycle. Cycles happen when “less-than” behavior becomes a pattern that imprisons you. Notice how Yeshua didn’t talk to her about choices and her past. Instead, He talked to her about her thirst. The Lord did that because He knows our thirst shapes our choices. And it’s dangerous to choose when you’re thirsty because discernment gets diluted when you’re empty.

In John 4:10, Yeshua told her, “If you drink what I give, you’ll never thirst again.” In other words, if He satisfies the craving, you stop searching for counterfeits. Yeshua didn’t fix her choices. He fixed her thirst. And when she realized who He really was, she left her water pots. That was worship. Not a song, not a shout, but affection expressed through action because true worship begins in the heart instead of the hands.

So how do you break cycles and step into this “living water” life? Yeshua said worship must be in Spirit and in Truth. Not just emotional, but spiritual. Not just personal preference, but biblical alignment. You practice it in private and express it in public. He doesn’t just save you, He alters your life…one drink at a time.
