STUDY 4 LIVING OUT VICTORY
John 4:19-26
A gun loaded correctly will always defeat an opponent with an incorrectly loaded gun. Having Christ correct and understanding my enemy, I am now equipped for victory. Now I am able to live in victory and engage in God's presence as He would have me. In this passage Jesus is chatting deeply with a lady who would be despised by her peers. In a marvellous piece of gentle teaching, Jesus draws this yielded woman from worship of herself to worship of Him. Victory is available to the woman at the well.
