Fill the Water Pots
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. (John 2:7)

Let’s pray and glorify God...
Lamb of God we humbly come before you to worship and adore you. In your presence is unspeakable joy. We acknowledge you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. We exalt your holy name. We exalt you; We exalt you. You are the Almighty God, the Everlasting God, the treasure in our hearts. There is none other like you. We praise you. We invite you to move and have your way, to touch hearts as only you can. We ask you Lord to answer every prayer need in Jesus name, we ask for souls to be saved and surrender to the King. We ask for miracles, signs and wonders through the power of the Holy Spirit and the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We thank you Lord that you see all, you know all, you are Lord overall, nothing is impossible for you. You are the King, the great I AM, you are Faithful & True. Hallowed be thy name forever and ever amen!
I feel like we are walking into a new hour... a new season, the shift in tides… this is the time to fill the water pots with water! Glory to God! I was in John Chapter 2:6 this morning. Normally I focus on the wine aspect of the story, but today I am more focused on the water!
Jesus was invited to a wedding in Cana. Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to Him, explaining they had run out of wine. This would have been devastating at a Jewish wedding feast. We all know the famous response of Jesus, “Woman, what does this have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come”. Jesus was telling His mother that it wasn’t the time for such a public ministry of miracles just yet.
Mary didn’t listen really and went on to tell the servants to do whatever He says. The faith of Mary… how did she know such power resided in her Son at that moment? Maybe Mary was pondering the things she kept in her heart from so many years ago. Possibly she remembered the words of the angel Gabriel, who told her the son she will bear will be the Son of God, and that with God nothing will be impossible.
Maybe Mary recalled the words of her cousin Elizabeth when she was pregnant with Jesus, “Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a completion to those things which were told her by the Lord”. Or maybe she was pondering the visit from the shepherds so long ago, who had come to see her after the birth of Jesus. They were filled with such excitement, speaking of the heavenly host of angels they had just seen. The angels had the glory of the Lord shone all around them as they were proclaiming the good news to the shepherds!
Whatever the case was, the next thing we know, the water pots were filled to the brim with water, and the rest is history as the old saying goes! It seems that the faith of Mary in that moment combined with glory, moved Jesus and ushered in His first public miracle.
Let’s be ready church, for the outpouring of miracles, signs and wonders. Hold on to your seats, it’s about to get good! Be in faith, be obedient and be in expectation of the Lord to move mightily. Fill the water pots with water!
