In connection with the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well in Sychar (note: means ‘mountain ridge’), in the region of Samaria (note: means ‘belonging to the watchman, guard mountain’), the Holy Spirit has revealed to me a principle of restoring the interpersonal relationship of man and woman.
The Prophetic Anointing
Here the prophetic anointing has a special meaning, represented by the well in Sychar as well as the region of Samaria, looking at the well in the form of an eye that looks up from below, which is related to hope (cf. John 4:5-6 i.c.w. Romans 5:5).
John 4:5-6:
5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

John 4:5-6:
5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
Romans 5:5:
5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
It is no coincidence that the disciples were not present when Jesus met the woman from Samaria at the well, because they were on their way to the city to buy food.

It is no coincidence that the disciples were not present when Jesus met the woman from Samaria at the well, because they were on their way to the city to buy food.
During this time of their absence, Jesus served the Samaritan woman through the prophetic anointing in the form of the word of knowledge, by telling her the circumstances of her life, so that she subsequently recognized Him as a prophet (cf. John 4:7-8.16-19 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 12:8).
John 4:7-8.16-19:
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”
John 4:7-8.16-19:
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”
8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) …
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband.
18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.
1 Corinthians 12:8:
8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, …
Jesus Christ, the Love of the Father
It can be assumed that the reason for the disciples' absence was because it was the Father's plan to restore the Samaritan woman's soul in relation to male authority. And for this it was necessary that Jesus alone would be present as the true spiritual authority in the form of the Father's love in order to reveal to her the perfection of God's love.
Jesus Christ served the Samaritan woman from the position of the ‘seventh man’ to reveal to her the complete work of the Heavenly Father and His understanding of love and devotion. This is clearly shown by the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman. Jesus pointed out to her, without accusation, that she had five husbands and that the sixth man with whom she lived in a relationship was not her husband (cf. John 4:18).
John 4:18:
“… 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
It was the plan of the Heavenly Father through His love, which is His Son Jesus Christ, to herald a new phase of time for the Samaritan woman (cf. John 3:16).
John 3:16:
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Through the prophetic anointing Jesus led that woman step by step into a higher realm of knowledge about Him as a person. This is obvious by the Samaritan woman's statement to Jesus, who first recognized Him as Lord (note: Sir), then as prophet and then as Christ (cf. John 4:11.19.29).
John 4:11.19.29:
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? …

29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”
The conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman was based on true spiritual surrender in the form of worship, which included adoration and love for the Heavenly Father (cf. John 4:23-24).
John 4:23-24:
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

The Authority of the Father
It is the Heavenly Father who is the highest spiritual authority in heaven.
In order to restore the wounded soul of the woman from Samaria, Jesus made her aware of the spiritual principle of true submission or love towards the highest spiritual authority, which is the Heavenly Father.

Personally, I am convinced that the Samaritan woman didn't have a true (note: healthy, competent) image of a Father and therefore sought love, acceptance and recognition from men who themselves didn't have the right understanding of love and respect for women.
The Samaritan woman carried in her heart a so-called spiritual emotional emptiness, which drove her to seek protection, love, respect and recognition from a man, something she had not experienced before her encounter with Jesus Christ.
After Jesus Christ taught the Samaritan woman the principles of true dedication and love in relation to the Heavenly Father, she also received restoration of her inner man, so that she entered a new phase of time with her already God-given potential.
The Samaritan woman had the potential to help bring men into the high level of the presence of the Heavenly Father and His love, so that they also experienced restoration in their inner man in order to act as true spiritual authorities in the earthly realm with the right heart attitude and with a pure heart to provide protection, love, respect and recognition.
This is what we can see in her reaction when, after speaking with Jesus, she went very quickly to her local community to tell the people about the love of the Father (note: Jesus Christ), among whom were many men (cf. John 4:29.39-42).
John 4:29.39-42:
John 4:29.39-42:
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” …
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.
41 And because of his words many more became believers.
42 They said to the woman, “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.”
It is time and the will of the Father in heaven for men in the people of God to reflect the Father with their presence in Christ to restore women to their hurt and lack of fatherly care.
This results in an increase for the kingdom of God in the spread of the message of the gospel, which in turn results in an increase of sons in the kingdom of God who can recognize their God-given destiny and provide protection that will secure the new generations.
The image of the role of women in the body of Christ and the capacity for relationships between men and women must be restored in order to effectively reap the harvest in the end times, which Jesus Christ, as head of His church, strategically points out to us.
