The Well

Is your Well full?

What is a Well? A big hole in the ground. Some, as in this imagine, have a bucket attached. Some, you need to bring something with you. When they are empty, they are nothing more than a big hole in the ground. However, when they are full, they are Life saving, Life sustaining, source of Water.

Did you ever think about this? Probably not so much. We flip a handle and water comes out. Gone are the days of going outside and cranking up the Water from the ground. But what if you flip that handle, and nothing happens? Oh no. No Water. You learn quickly, that, that of which you take for granted, Water, is so very important to you in so many ways..

Did you know that YOU are a Well? In the Old Testament, we read Passages like this..

"The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook." {Proverbs 18:4}

And this..

"Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation." {Isaiah 12:3}

Jesus tells us HE is the Well of Living Water..

"Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." {John 4:13-14}

Jesus used this terminology of Water, and Bread, to illustrate that without Him, we will Spiritually Starve and Die. He also said this...

"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." {John 7:38}

Now remember, when we are Adopted into the Family of God, Jesus told us that the Holy Spirit will descend upon us, and live in us. He also said that as we marvel at the Works He did, we should know that WE, will do greater...Wait, Greater than Jesus? That is what He said...

"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father." {John 14:12}

See, we are nothing more than a big Hole in the Ground. If we are filled up, then we are also a source of Life saving, Life sustaining, Water. Spiritual Water. The Gospel, The Word of God. The Truth according to God. When you are filled, you are Holy, and Pure. You are a Well that people will learn to come to to draw from.

This is why it is so very important to fill up. To go when it is raining Living Waters. Go into Prayer. Go into the Word. Go to Church. Fill up. Be also consciousness of this, it is what comes out of you mouth, that either Defiles you, or Justifies you. Jesus said this..

"Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." {Matthew 15:11}

Why?

"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man." {Matthew 15:18}

King Solomon even wrote,

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." {Proverbs 18:21}

We as Children of God, have power. It is in the Tongue, and comes out our Mouths. Ever hear the Phrase Garbage in, Garbage out? It is true. If all you do is Watch the latest TV Shows, or do the latest App. Or spend all your time doing anything, this is what will be first on your Mind. In your Heart. and coming out your Mouth. This is what you will be talking about and sharing with everyone..

"Did you see that show? Little Suzy dies and Billy was sleeping with Jenny." "Did you see my picture on Social Media of my Dinner Last night?" {I still do not get that one.} "Did you catch a spiny butted flopping Fish?? I caught three of them."

You are going to Die. What happens when you die? "Huh? No no no. I ain't got time for that. I'm on the trail of a Blue Spotted Bayowl." You are already dead. "Great, leave me alone then.."

See, if the Well runs dry, or, it is never filled, or, if it is filled with the wrong stuff, it will NEVER produce anything Positive. It will NOT be a source of Life saving, Life sustaining, Water. Spiritual Water. The only way you can give out, is if you have something to give out. You need to make sure that you keep your Well filled. Not only filled, but filled with the right stuff..

Do you know Jesus as your Savior? Have you been adopted into the Family of God? If not, say this Prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be. Say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will hear you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us Pray..

"Oh heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Jesus's sacrifice for me. I repent my sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Jesus, Amen!"

That's it. It really is that simple. Now go tell someone what you have just done. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." {Romans 10:9} You need to find a Church that God leads you to, and be Baptized the way Jesus said to be. You are now a Child of God. A new Creature. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." {Colossians 3:10}

Until next time, be Blessed, be a Blessing, and Jesus IS Lord..
