“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord
Jesus Christ”
Ezekiel 47: 9 And it shall be that every living thing that
moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude
of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything
will live wherever the river goes
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with you all. Amen.
Hallelujah
Explanation about the Fountain of water
springing upto everlasting life
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we
meditated some thoughts regarding about how we should protect our soul from not
getting stuck to the earth. In our lives the enemy hides cunningly in our soul
and makes us do many wicked things and think many wicked things and makes us fall down by the hands of the
uncircumcised Philistines by making us do the deeds of the uncircumcised
Philistines. This will become the reason for our eternal life to perish. But
Isaac obeyed God and as God told him - Genesis 26: 17 Then Isaac departed from
there and pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Genesis 26: 18, 19 And Isaac dug again the
wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the
Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. He called them by
the names which his father had called them.
Also Isaac’s servants dug in the valley,
and found a well of running water there.
When we read the Old Testament, God is showing the spring which is the well
as a pattern to God's church. In these days that spring is the spring of
everlasting life which is our Lord Jesus Christ. God's words says that The
living water, which is the everlasting words of life begins from our soul.
Those who have received it are able to
experience its presence very well. That is what manifests as The Holy
Spirit which is the bride - the church. Moreover, the place where holy people
gather is called as the Holy bride - the church.
When God gives such a spring in our souls,
the devil will fight against us. Because when Isaac's servants dug the well and
saw spring of water the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled saying that it was
theirs. So he called the name of the
well Esek, because they quarreled with him.
Then they dug another well, and they
quarreled over that one also. So he called its name Sitnah.
Thirdly he moved from there and dug another
well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth,
because he said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be
fruitful in the land.”
In this manner, God started fulfilling the
promise that he gave Abraham that in Isaac shall your seed be called.
Genesis 26: 23Then he went up from there to
Beersheba.
Genesis 26: 24, 25 And the Lord appeared to
him the same night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear,
for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My
servant Abraham’s sake.”
So he built an altar there and called on
the name of the Lord, and he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants
dug a well.
In this manner, when God said that in Isaac
shall your seed be called he showed the promise as a pattern that the church
that is Christ's church will increase in all places and by this he made the
church increase.
Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with
Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phichol the commander of his army.
And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come
to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?” But they said, “We
have certainly seen that the Lord is with you. So we said, ‘Let there now be an
oath between us, between you and us; and let us make a covenant with you, that
you will do us no harm, since we have not touched you, and since we have done
nothing to you but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the
blessed of the Lord.’ ”
Genesis 26: 30 So he made them a feast, and
they ate and drank.
Then they arose early in the morning and
swore an oath with one another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed
from him in peace.
Genesis 26: 32, 33 It came to pass the same
day that Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well which they had dug,
and said to him, “We have found water.”
So he called it Shebah. Therefore the name
of the city is Beersheba to this day.
But the reason why Abimelech, his friend
and the commander of his army made an oath with Isaac was - Galatians 3: 8, 9
And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith,
preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations
shall be blessed.”
So then those who are of faith are blessed
with believing Abraham.
In relation to this when we read John
Chapter 4, we come to know that Jews will have no dealings with Samaritans
because in John 4: 7 - 10
A woman of Samaria came to draw water.
Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How
is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews
have no dealings with Samaritans.
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you
knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you
would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have
nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living
water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank
from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”
John 4: 13, 14 Jesus answered and said to
her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,
but whoever drinks of the water that I
shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him
will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
In this manner, he revealed about himself
in Samaria. Then he told that woman But the hour is coming, and now is, when
the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father
is seeking such to worship Him.
John 4: 24 God is Spirit, and those who
worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
From this, what we understand is that - God
is a spirit. And we know that His word is being manifested as the Son and that
word is truth. He is the Holy Spirit who is the bride. When the bridegroom who
is Christ manifests in us we become the bride and worship God in spirit and in
truth. This is the truth. This truth will set all of us free.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all.
