Healing
Waters
When
we think about "healing waters" we
sometimes forget the "water of the word"
referred to in the Bible. God's Word is living
water unto us. It is life giving and all we have
to do is come and drink or partake of this water
to be renewed, revived, filled, or healed. This
water never runs out, there is enough for everyone
who seeks it, and it is the one drink that can
quench the thirst of a thirsty soul.
God's Word tells us "he sent His Word and
healed them". We know Jesus is the Living
Word of God and is the Healer. His written words
are living to us and when we receive them in
Spirit and in truth and believe his promises, we
can receive what we ask by faith believing.
We must have this "water of God's Word"
to survive in the spiritual sense also. Without
it, Satan can defeat a person. It is an
"oasis in dry places" we may walk
through.
Let God's living water cleanse you, fill you, and
then let it flow out from you. It will bring life
to others as we are told "out of your belly
(heart) shall flow rivers of living water. Jesus
is within us and we are to "let God arise and
his enemies be scattered".
Thank Him for this living water and share it with
those along the pathways of your life. It is
healing waters and can heal a sin sick soul
because Christ is the "healing stream"
from above we share. He will bless and reward you
richly.

Springs
of Living Water
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ"
(Titus 2: 13)
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on
the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs
up.
Do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the
desert
and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43: 18: 19.
"And he said unto me, It is done, I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give
unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the
water of life freely.
Rev. 21: 6.
These Scriptures are such wonderful promises for
the child of God. God tells us He will do a
new work in lives and hearts and also make a way
when there seems to be no way. He invites us
to come to the fountain and drink of water which
springs up unto life everlasting.
The new work can be seen when we yield to God's
Spirit in all things and let him mold and make us
to be more Christ like.
When the dry and barren deserts of this life offer
no water to quench the thirst, Jesus will make the
way by giving water from the "fountain of
life." One of the words for
fountain in Hebrew is "mayan" and means
a spring, well, or fount, and is figurative of
satisfaction in Christ Jesus. This
water shall spring up as a well of living water
into your heart making you happy and complete in
Jesus. In Greek meaning, the word fountain is
"pege", and means "a supply of
water or well, springing up as a source of
enjoyment". The Prophet Isaiah tells us
there will be fountains opened in the midst of
valleys. Isa. 41: 18. This is a source of
joy which began at Calvary when Christ said,
"It is Finished." and shed his life's
blood for our salvation. His joy is our
strength in our Christian walk. Even in the
midst of pain and suffering, trials and tests, we
can have joy in knowing Jesus.
Does Satan ever falsely accuse you with harmful
words
or use others to remind you of past faults
and failures?
Does he ever try to destroy your witness for
Christ by
making others believe his lies and
accusations? If so, he has no legal
right to do so. The Lord will defend his own
and the schemes of the enemy will be cancelled by
Christ.
Claim every promise of God and live in
peace. God has cast your sins into the sea
of his forgetfulness as far away as the East is
from the West. It is the scheme of the
enemy to try and put back in your life what God
removed when he cleansed and made you whole. Old
doubts, disbelief, hurts, fears, sin and
condemnation were removed. It is Satan's
scheme to try and place
these things back into minds and lives. We
must take authority over his works of evil and
claim all our rights as a new creation in
Christ. Old things are past away. All things
have been made new. "In the name of
Jesus", command Satan to flee as you are
God's property.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those
who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh; but after the Spirit. Romans
8:1. It all depends on "how we are
walking" and "whom we are
following." We can choose either
"spirit" or "flesh."
When we are walking in the spirit of the Lord, the
evil one has no right in our life. When he
comes around we
must command Him to leave. When Satan uses
intimidation or his lies against a Christian, he
is trespassing on legal property of Jesus.
He is only allowed to be "under our
feet" when we are on on the right path of the
Spirit. The Lord has redeemed us from the
curse of sin and placed us in the "way of
truth."
Living water is 'life giving water' and it shall
spring up from inside your innermost being.
The joy of the Lord is your strength. Come
to the life giving water of the Lord today.
There is no thirsting for the things of this life
when one partakes of this fountain of eternal
life.
Remember, Jesus is the "Way-Maker" and
He will always make a way for you. His
Fountain for "whosoever will drink" is
located on the straight and narrow path .
This path is not always chosen as the most popular
route
in life, but it is the only way which leads to
Eternal Life.
God's love will revive the thirsty soul, cleanse
and make one whole. Come to the water today
and let His love wash over your soul and his mercy
grant your petitions in this Gospel way. The road
less traveled is the only way. Jesus walked
this road before us and has given us all the
directions needed to safely make it Home.
Be blessed today and a blessing to others,
In Christ,
