I&#8217;ve got a soft spot for SPARKS having had some of their early hits like &#8216;<strong>No 1 in Heaven<\/strong>&#8216; back in 1979 (on 45 single). You&#8217;ve got to hand it to the two brothers for staying the pace over the last 50 years. Here&#8217;s a taste of the lyrics from their 2023 album:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\"><em>&#8220;Is it due to the rain or is she in some pain.<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\"><em>She looks physically fine, Guess it&#8217;s something benign.<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\"><em>The girl is crying in her latte, yeah (repeat)<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\"><em>Now she&#8217;s leaving the place, Someone&#8217;s taking her place,<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\"><em>Orders, then takes a seat, Looks like it&#8217;s a repeat<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\"><em>The girl is crying in her latte, yeah (repeat)<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\"><em>So many people are crying in their latte (repeat)&#8221;<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:600px;--awb-max-height:360px;--awb-margin-bottom:30px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:60%;\" ><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YL97CRvXr9Q?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>The song is incredible catchy (SPARKS do it again) but despite its &#8216;happy groove&#8217; its theme is basically about coping with private distress in a public place. The song lyrics suggest it\u2019s a universal experience &#8211; &#8220;looks like it&#8217;s a repeat&#8221; &#8211; and I guess sadly it is &#8211; and it\u2019s what gives the song its appeal.<\/p>\n<p>It got me thinking about the people we see in the supermarket, in the shops and in the cafes every day. <strong>Many people are just about holding it together<\/strong> &#8211; you know; we have a public face and a private face. In the market place we brush past strangers who seem OK, but many of us are not. However, in these socially sensitive times we are more anxious than ever of speaking to anyone for fear of saying something wrong or even worse &#8211; <strong>offending someone<\/strong>. It reminds me of how <strong>Jesus mingled in the public places<\/strong> and often crashed in through the thin veneer of social etiquette; he certainly wasn&#8217;t afraid of offending anyone. For instance, take the woman at the well&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob\u2019s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.\u201d John 4:4-6<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Odd that Jesus was there at all. Sychar was a place no self respecting Jew would go\u2026 Why? Because as far as they were concerned Samaritans were not only the wrong race, they were also religious heretics. To go anywhere near a Samaritan was to risk being spiritually contaminated \u2013 to be made unclean.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s Jesus \u2013 tired and thirsty at the well. He has sent his disciples off into town to find food (remember this is an \u2018unclean\u2019 town so that mission was likely to be &#8216;interesting&#8217; \ud83d\ude09) and he sees a Samaritan woman and asks her for a drink! Now this is shocking! <strong>This is not politically correct!<\/strong> She\u2019s the wrong gender, the wrong race, and the wrong identity. It\u2019s outrageous and offensive; so she gets triggered:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Samaritan woman said to him, \u201cYou are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?\u201d (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).\u201d John 4:9<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Jesus doesn\u2019t try to avoid offending people <\/strong>if it&#8217;s a necessary consequence of helping them. He doesn\u2019t live by social, religious or political expediency. <strong>He only does what he hears and sees his heavenly Father doing (John 14:10)<\/strong>\u2026 and on that day his Father was wanting to save and restore a world weary woman.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you help me please?<\/h3>\n<p>And so Jesus asks her for a drink. I love that. Jesus asks for help. Does he need help? No. She needs help, but<strong> Jesus empowers her by giving her the initiative<\/strong>. Jesus knows what he\u2019s doing. One of the best ways to build trust is by asking someone for help &#8211; it builds a relationship by empowering others.<\/p>\n<p>And then they have a conversation. She asks Jesus why on earth he is asking her for water \u2013 her being a Samaritan <em>and<\/em> a woman and all\u2026 and Jesus starts telling her about himself. He speaks about abundant life, overflowing life and eternal life and he uses the metaphor of \u2013 guess what? Water! Brilliant!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Jesus answered, \u201cEveryone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life. John 4:13-14<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a note out of Jesus\u2019 book and become good at <strong>explaining spiritual truth in everyday language<\/strong>. This is called <strong>rapport<\/strong> and we need to learn how to cultivate it. Don\u2019t use strange religious language that people don\u2019t understand \u2013 use simple everyday things that they do understand \u2013 the woman at the well &#8211; she understood water, so Jesus used water as a spiritual metaphor.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\"

rightly<\/h3>\n<p>Even so it takes a little while for Jesus to get through &#8211; so he uses a powerful <strong>word of knowledge<\/strong> to get her attention. The Holy Spirit empowerment of the word of knowledge will do this &#8211; it\u2019s designed to get people\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>The word of knowledge is one of the <strong>gifts of the Spirit<\/strong> in <strong>1 Corinthians 12<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s when you know something about someone else (by divine revelation) that has happened in their past or is happening now. The information is often key to what God wants to do in their lives. This gift of the Spirit effectively opens people\u2019s hearts to receive healing and salvation.<\/p>\n<p>So Jesus has information about this woman\u2019s life that is not only \u2018private\u2019 but also potentially embarrassing or humiliating for her. As we said, Jesus is not averse to offending people &#8211; but <strong>he is not unnecessarily cruel or callous either<\/strong>. Watch how he handles the word with care and sensitivity (I added the words in parentheses)\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cJesus said to her, \u201cGo, call your husband, and come here.\u201d The woman answered and said, \u201cI have no husband.\u201d Jesus said to her, \u201cYou have well said, \u2018I have no husband,\u2019 (affirmation) for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband (word of knowledge); in that you spoke truly.\u201d\u201d (another affirmation) John 4:16-18 NKJV<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The word of knowledge is basically information. The woman already knows all too well about her marital situation and history so in one sense simply telling her this doesn\u2019t help her much. What does matter is the life giving encounter that is happening around this revelation. <strong>Jesus is offering her an exchange<\/strong>; forgiveness and acceptance in return for her brokenness and rejection. This is important to understand when we are ministering in any divine revelation: <strong>\u201cLet your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt,\u201d<\/strong> Colossians 4:6 \u2013 so that even hard truth brings comfort and encouragement.<\/p>\n<h3>She&#8217;s no longer crying in her latte<\/h3>\n<p>This is a good lesson for us, and as it turned out, for the woman as well &#8211; because she begins to believe in Jesus as the anointed King:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, \u201cCome, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?\u201d\u201d John 4:28-29 NKJV<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So the woman tells her friends and neighbours all about Jesus and that Samaritan town ends up having a visitation \u2013 Jesus and his disciples stay in the town for a couple of days. A &#8216;chance&#8217; encounter turned into friendships that would last.<\/p>\n<p>This is a picture of what is happening across the world today. <strong>The true encounters are still happening \u2018at the well\u2019; in the market places, in the cafes and supermarkets<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiritlifestyle.org\/miraclecafes\/\">Check out our Miracle Cafes<\/a>). Ordinary people like you and I are seeing what the Father is wanting to do and reaching out with healing and life giving words.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s that <strong>SPARKS<\/strong> song again:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\"><em>&#8220;Every day was the same (so many people)<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>Tried to figure their game (so many people)<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>They all ordered the same (so many people)<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>Guess the world is to blame (so many people)<\/em><em>&#8220;<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But <strong>the truth of the gospel has overcome the world<\/strong> and the <strong>power of the Spirit<\/strong> is able to break through \u2013 regardless of identity &#8211; whether race, status or gender, and minister to the precious person within. <strong>Perhaps you might notice someone &#8216;crying in their latte&#8217; today&#8230;<\/strong> <strong>and the Holy Spirit will speak into their life in an unexpected way&#8230;<\/strong> (Hey that rhymes!&#8230; there just might be a song in there somewhere!)<\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-2 fusion-button-span-no fusion-button-default-type\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:30px;\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/spiritlifestyle.com\/become-a-member\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">FIND OUT MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1331.2px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":105461,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[283,177,1056],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-105433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-blogs-by-rob","category-supernatural-life-ministry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SUPERNATURAL MINISTRY IN THE MARKETPLACE - Spirit Lifestyle with Rob &amp; Aliss Cresswell<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;Is it due to the rain or is she in some pain.
