DRINKING FROM HIS VINE
This week I heard within my spirit. “The well has broke loose" . We all remember the Samaria woman at Jacob’s well. Jesus is there feeling very weary from His journey and sits down by the well at about the sixth hour. (John 4:6)
Our hint - - for the 6th hour is found in Matthew 27:45, the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.
Here comes a Samaria woman to draw water and Jesus says to her, “Give me a drink.” The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" For Jews had no dealings with Samaritans.
Jesus sits fatigued at the well and displays the reality of His human nature. This is important for us to acknowledge as Jesus felt the weakness of our humanity.
Jesus’ willingly accepts our limitations and weaknesses as part of being human. The metaphorical significance of Jesus asking for water when he is the “living water.” (John 4:10)
Jesus answered, “If you drink from Jacob’s well, you’ll be thirsty again, but if anyone drinks the living water I give them, they will never be thirsty again. For when you drink the water I give you, it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit, flooding you with endless life!” John 4:13-14 TPT
Jesus used the physical need for water to sustain life in this story to serve as a lesson for this woman’s spiritual need for transformation.
We are given numerous examples, for instance, in the Book of Jeremiah 2:13, Yahweh decrees the disobedient Jews for rejecting him, the “fountain of living water.” He says, “My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”
The OT prophets looked forward to a time when “living water will flow out of Jerusalem” (EZEKIEL 47:9; Zech 14:8) These metaphors are for the knowledge and grace of God. He provides cleansing, spiritual life and the transforming power of His Holy Spirit.
Understanding the metaphor for “the well has broke loose” helps us to understand our human weaknesses are known by God and He’s about to do something about it!
When we consciously seek God’s divine will for our lives by sitting at His Well. We are saying to God, we are weak and thirsty!
We have come to sit at your Well to submit our minds, hearts & will to you, God.
This conscious decision allows our will to submit to God’s will and His secrets open up in our life become fruitful. God is then allowed to move because we have freely given Him our will to move.
Saints, we are approaching a new era of triumph for all believers!
I heard, A season of breakthrough of captivity where nations have been shaken and my spirit shall arise in those who have not yet walked with me in the Spirit.My Grace will be given God says to each according to the measure of his capacity to receive it in faith.
Our faith is how we become strong in the Lord. (Luke 9:22-27) Let’s look at Psalm 15.
Who May Dwell on Your Holy Mountain? A Psalm of David.
1O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?2He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,3who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,4who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,5who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
As we move forward into His Divine Will for our lives, we won’t be shaken because God is here to protect us! We are given an example in the Book of Daniel.
Daniel was an exile in Babylon. He moved among—and excelled in—the powerful pagan society that was called Babylonia.
Daniel worshipped the God of his forefathers and went above the understanding of the Babylonian magicians—much in the same way that Moses was God’s conduit and he outwitted the sorcerers of Pharaoh. Today’s sorcerers are the deep state, one world order, pharmaceutical companies anything that separates us from God, they are sorcerers.
In Chapter 2, Nebuchadnezzar’s magicians, astrologers, and sorcerers failed to interpret the king’s dream, so Daniel was summoned.
Daniel asked the king to give him time to interpret the dream or time to seek God. Daniel and his companions then sought “mercies from God concerning this secret [the dream], so that Daniel and his companions would not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. That night, the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel praised the God of heaven” (Daniel 2:16–19, NKJV).
God protected Daniel because he sought GOD! We must be living like Daniel praying for GOD’S mercy over our cultural & lives today. God is saying, if you will pray for your nation, My Well will pour out over you!
We live in spiritual Babylon and this is our 6th hour where darkness covers the land. It’s effecting everything that God had intended for good, our families, churches, governments and children.
God is calling on His Remnant Saints to pray for God’s favor and mercy over the land and it’s people.
Daniel and his companions gained such favor with the pagan king by waiting on God; he went above in the spirit realm and came back down into the earthly realm to solve the dream.
We call this prayer in our secret place or walking in the spirit to gain wisdom and revelation. Each night I am awaken to pray for our government to abolish the greed and darkness so God can arise within His people.
As we wait, watch, and follow the Lord’s leading on how and when to take action to the solutions within our fallen world, let us live and drink from His Living Water.
Here are some tips while you are waiting.
- take time to accurately hear from the Lord, just as Daniel did when he asked Nebuchadnezzar for time to seek God (v. 16);
- take communion at home. When I was sick, we took communion before dinner for seven nights! I know many of you take communion at church but there is an intimate fellowship waiting for you. This communion washes away wrong doctrines and sickness.
- find like-minded believers who will press in to God as we watch and pray with them in this new season (vv. 17–18); maybe consider a weekly or monthly prayer meeting to pray for the coming harvest.
- Fast for 3 or 7 days at time. I find fasting to be a huge stronghold remover. If you are waiting on God, try fasting of food until noon [the dark hour] each day.
- have faith that God will meet you in our assignment and that you are given authority of His Secrets to be revealed to us as the Lord chooses. This might happen through prayer, the Word, other believers, or, as in Daniel’s case, a prophetic dream or other prophetic revelation (v. 19);
- Lastly, continue to thank the Lord for this new revelation and season we are entering and for His goodness (v. 19). Even when we feel like we don’t have much to be thankful for, his spirit comes to wash away our burdens and connect us to God. The Lord loves praise and worship.
Prayer
Heavenly Father as we pray for your Ekklesia [church], I ask to keep us faithful to sound doctrine that secures our spiritual foundations in these dark hours. I pray that our fellowship would be alert, heart-felt and deep. I pray that we would continually celebrate the power of the cross and consistently lift our prayers and intercessions before You in unity. May we be a body that is a conduit of miracles for Your glory that would draw in the lost and the hurting in this season.
Everything in our world is about to shift, please help us to awaken to the fullness for which you have intended for our generation. Help us to continually press-in to drink from your well to hear Your Voice to activate a watchman anointing!
Thank you, Lord, for sharing Your secrets of Your heart. Thank You for helping us understand Your words and Your ways. Thank you for answering our questions and filling in the necessary blanks. We call upon You now to show us what we need to know to take the next step in our journey.
Father, We love You and desire to fulfill the call on my life. Thank You for using everything in my life, both the good and even the bad, to accomplish Your will. Even when things get rough, help us to see how You are using the situation for good and for Your glory. I praise you in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Friends, we are entering a new era in which we are crossing over into revelation. God is changing us by removing wrong doctrines and religious spirits, strongholds like oppression, anxiety, fear and sickness etc.
His Well has broke loose to overflowing, this outpouring contains joy, hope and abundance of faith. His anointing heals our body, minds and souls. We are His Believers! We are being given back everything that has been stolen! I want to encourage you to read and sow Ps 59 into your hearts!
Hallelujah!
Shalom
