KNOWING JESUS
"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."
(John 4:42)
This
is what the townspeople of Sychar said to the Samaritan woman who met
Jesus at the well. John says that many of these townspeople believed in
Jesus because of the woman's testimony. They already believed just
hearing her story, yet when they actually met Jesus face to face there
was somehow another level of knowing.
Likewise,
there are many Kuy people here in Cambodia in places like Snaur,
O'Krouch, Jokrun, Srai Thnong, Prame and Svay Damnak who have believed
because of the testimony of missionaries or fellow Kuy believers. This
is great. But, pray that they will meet Jesus face to face and really
know him for themselves on an even deeper level. Pray for God's Spirit
to speak clearly to their hearts, that they might connect with the
Bible stories they are hearing on a very personal level. Ask the Lord
to meet them in visions and dreams and in everyday circumstances.Ask
that this "knowing" would lead to deeper worship and a driving passion
to make Jesus known!
