WHAT "WELL" DO YOU DRAW FROM?

You cannot draw life from death. You cannot harvest wholeness from brokenness. You cannot draw healing from the sickness of sin.

It is only because we are saved by grace through faith that we can NOW experience being transformed and changed. Thus, we experience that God's salvation is ongoing in us because we are His. 

We can draw life and peace from the wells of God's salvation because we belong to Him. We wouldn't be changed and transformed in any ongoing way unless we are already His. Because we have become His sons and daughters, that we can grow up and be conformed to the Image of Jesus Christ.

As oxygen and hydrogen combined in exact proportions result in water, so His Spirit and Truth combined in working out His salvation in us are the source of the Living Water of the Holy Spirit springing up within us. 

We don't need to draw from the poisonous wells of the world. We have an everlasting artesian Spring of the water of Life bubbling up and overflowing with eternal life.

We cannot live without water as human beings. That thirst is pointing beyond itself telling us we cannot be fully alive without His Life being life within us, satisfying our deepest thirst. You will not become fully human without the Holy Spirit filling you with Living Water.

Don't let your flesh define your thirst or hunger for you, for that will never satisfy. Thought it promises to slake your thirst, it cannot come close to touching and quenching the real thirst. Only the Holy Spirit can do this.

John7:37-39 "On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” By this He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified."

WHAT DO YOU BLESS? It would be an act of utter folly and disaster were I to choose to "bless" what God will not bless. God's wrath is set against anything and anyone that would try and hinder you becoming all He created you to be and to grow in by being united to Him through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing arbitrary about the Word of God. He is very specific on what will make for life and what will not. Human life only becomes human life when the Holy Spirit becomes Life withing a believer. Being united to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus becomes a new creation and begins to live Life as God intended. God begins the good work, and He is the One who will bring it to competition. Somethings will NEVER make for life. What God calls sin, missing the mark of what will make for life, is always sin regardless of what culture anywhere and anytime say to the contrary. Sin cannot save, heal, redeem, restore or remake...

 INFINITELY MORE Ephesians 3:20-21 " Now all glory to God, Who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.   Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen." In the Gospel of John, many of His followers turned away because of the covenant commitment He required of those who would follow Him. That covenant declared that what was to happen to Jesus would also happen to them. We, too, must lay our lives down and choose the will and way of God's Kingdom over all else. Those in the crowd knew that in Jerusalem, the Jewish religious leaders were plotting and planning Jesus' destruction. To follow Jesus to that degree required denying self and the thrall of the world and its ways, even to the point of laying one's life down by refusing to deny the Lord and His salvation. Jesus turned to the 12 and asked, " Are you also going to leave?" ( John 6:67-...

BEWARE DECEPTION   Deuteronomy 18:9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 12:29-30 “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’ Pragmatics was the downfall of Israel when they took possession of the Promised Land. To the unredeemed eye, it seemed that the fertility gods and agricultural gods of the pagan nations actually were helping the indigenous peoples. Just because something works does not make it right or good.  God promised to prosper His people if they would trust Him to the point of obeying His Word. God's Word is not empty. When He directs and commands, it is always for...
