Tapping into Living Water

October 31, 2011

"There is something wonderful happening soon! Do you know how I know? You would say when it rains it pours but I know that the Bible explains with every trial with move ahead and gain much strength, wisdom, and patience! So when the devil thought he would ruin my marriage, I fought back! When he thought he could turn my family against me, God turned the situation around! When he tried to attack my financial status by having my dogs put in animal control, God gave them back to me for free! When he thought he could discourage me through doubt, God sent blessed friends to lift up my faith! When he thought he could mock me, I found that even Christ was mocked but yet found His greatest victory while hanging on the cross! When the devil used friends to attack me, God used enemies to bless me! There is always good in every bad but you just got to stop looking at the bad to see the good! I great reward is headed my way and I am ever so thankful that God has considered me worthy to go through valley! In that valley I can drink from the rivers of LIVING WATER!

I could not let this go without sharing!  When God wants to accomplish something, the devil is always wanting to destroy His plans.  While serving the Lord we think things will be simpler but God never promised that we would have it easy.  He did promise He would never leave nor forsake us!  He sent the Comforter to us, which being the Holy Spirit, to help us when we grow weary.  I once would run to the world telling all my troubles when I should have done what the old song says, "have a little talk with Jesus.  Tell Him all about our troubles.  He will hear our faintest cry.  He will answer by and by.  When you feel a little prayer wheel turnin' and you know a little fire is burnin'.  Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right."  I know now through these very trials that no one in the world can save us when the enemy attacks, only God can.  We may gain temporary comfort with our friends and we may gain a sense of importance when we air our 'poor, pitiful situations to everyone we meet', but the truth is they can't care and make us feel important like the very one who created us!  Yes we will be down and out.  Yes we will be attacked for His name.  Yes we will have people come against us in what appears to be with in power, but they only power any man has is what God has allowed them to have and we CAN NOT take our desire off God and we CAN literally praise our way through anything!  I have learned that when the fiery darts of the enemy are coming at us our greatest weapon in war is PRAISE!  Praise God for everything the was, is and is to come.  This confuses the  enemy and greater more it brings much glory to our wonderful Lord and Savior!  He will dwell among the praises of His people and will give victory over these trials if we only put Him first.  So all who are burdened down today, sick, hurt, being ridiculed for what you believe, and those who have simply drifted from the Lord, lift your eyes, hearts and hands to the One above and say "Daddy I need you! I know you have placed your hand over me and you know I can handle this but let my faith grow and forgive me for any unbelief in Your power. The devil can not control me and I claim victory over this situation and Lord I WILL PRAISE MY WAY THROUGH. Because You alone are worthy and deserve my praise no matter how bad it gets. In Jesus Name!"  Let us rejoice during our trials, so we can have peace through them!  God will send angels to guard and He also has given the Holy Scriptures as a weapon in warfare.  Keep tapping into that LIVING WATER and soon this trial will be over! God has given you an abundance to drink from, even in the driest of places. 

Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and forever.  Heb 13:1-8
