In this episode, I walk through the pattern of Scripture where women met their future husbands at water wells. Rebekah met Abraham’s servant at a well. Rachel met Jacob at a well. Zipporah met Moses at a well. Even in the New Testament, we see a woman at a well in John 4—and the conversation turns to husbands.

But Jesus revealed something deeper: He wasn’t talking about physical water, but living water—a well within a person. A well that springs up. A well that flows. A well He identified as the Holy Spirit.

From there, I trace how this theme continues into Matthew 25, where ten virgins go out to meet the Bridegroom. All had lamps—the Word of God—but only five carried oil, a picture of the Holy Spirit. The same “outflowing” that Jesus described as rivers of living water is the same outflow the virgins used when they went forth to meet Him.

The pattern becomes clear:
Ancient women drew water from physical wells.
Today, believers draw from wells of living water within—through the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, I share how speaking in tongues is the Scriptural way we draw that living water out. Just as Rebekah drew faithfully and consistently until the moment she was found, we, too, draw with endurance and joy—trusting that as we keep drawing from the wells of salvation, we are being prepared for the moment God has appointed.

This is a call to keep drawing, keep praying, keep yielding to the Spirit—as the women of old did at the well—until the Bridegroom is encountered face to face.
