The Well...I BELIEVE....

                     The Well

Scripture states there was Jacob and the Samaritan woman who went to this certain well to draw from.  

And, there was Jesus (Yeshua) who came to the well intending of giving a gift and receiving a Kiss from God too!!

Then, there us, the thirsty believer! We are most blessed because Yeshua states that "the water He gives shall be a well of water springing up unto everlasting life!” 

Jn 4: 10, 14

Jesus replied to the woman at the well, "If you only knew the GIFT God has for you..."  Do you know what the gift was: LIVING WATER!

The gift of faith to BELIEVE, as the Scripture says, gives rivers of living water FLOWING within. Jn 7:38

Believing in the Lamb of God as Shepherd, who is at the center of the Throne leads us to the springs of living water. Rev 7:17

But those who turn away- in disobedience and unbelief will be put to shame.  Their name will be written down.  (They will be remembered as the ones who) forsaken the fountain of living water, even the Lord. 

Jer 17:12

Living water flows and bubbles up inside of the believer!  We rejoice because our names are written in heaven.  The place any BELIEVER wants to have our name written is in the book of Life.  Rejoice in the Living Water!

But those who reject the Lord will come to an end.

Heavenly Father, we are thirsty for you, and therefore we draw from your Spirit. We desire your Presence to lead and guide us, Holy Spirit.  

Lead me to the Rock, which is higher than I.

Forgive me of all sin.  Purge me of all dead work.  Wash me in your precious blood, Yeshua.  I need Your purification.  Please wash me with Your living water, as it flows through me, washing away all impurities, disobedience, and sin.  

Create in me a clean heart, O Lord, and renew a right way in me. Purify me, as you shine your light and expose all sin that is displeasing to You, so that I may be free.  

Thank you for Salvation Jesus (Yeshua) for redeeming me from sin, guilt and shame.  Help me to live a life of LOVE, and a life that is pleasing to you Abba.  Helping me to help others on the way.  

Thank you for the Well!  Thank you that I could go to the well today, and sip from Your cup.  Thank you that Your presence is so refreshing, purifying, and comforting.  

I love and appreciate you, Father.

Thank you that as I remain IN You, that I will never hunger or thirst for righteousness, because Righteousness leads and guides me in all Truth, and teaches me.  For it is You, my God and my Father, and my hope is IN You all the day long.  Thank you!

This prayer I pray in Your Son’s name, Yeshua, whom I love and serve.

Amen Jesus!  Thank you!

I am so GRATEFUL

Thank you, Jesus, for such love- 

YOU- Wisdom with the Father from the beginning! 

Watching it all this being created- 

the earth, 

the human being fearfully and wonderfully made, 

Yes, You were there.  

And, You are still here, never to leave us, never to forsake us, always with us.  

Thank you that You are our Comfort, Peace, 

and Rest on every side even in a world of chaos and turmoil.  

You show us peace because You show us YOU.  

We rely solely on You Lord.  For whom else would we turn for help?  

It behooves us to trust in You, for it is foolishness not to!  

It is Your Word we follow as our Light.  

For it is the lamp to our feet and light to our path; thank you!  

We need you, Lord.  

Please, keep us safe, and keep our faith STRONG, IN You.  

Help us to keep our eyes rigidly focused on You- 

Never to turn away.

No matter how hard our life may be,

Help us to just trust you with all we have, Lord.

Because ALL WE HAVE IS IN YOU

You are the KEEPER of our lives!  

Nothing shall snatch us out of Your hands, You said!

You hold us tight in Your grip.

Your eyes never tire of watching over us.

Your heart never tires of our mistakes 

because You love us with a NEVER ENDING LOVE,

which abounds more and more for us.

You have made a place for us

a forever place with YOU. 

A place of: no more tears,

no more sorrow,

no more pain,

no more SIN,

no more UNBELIEF

& no more DISOBEDIENCE

Just LOVE

just YOU LORD

forever!

Ah Lord God, to think about this makes me ponder in thought 

all of your ways, and goodness, first personally to me, and then; mine; 

which makes me say all the more to you

I love You, Lord of my life.  Thank you for loving me so!   

In Jesus name, I pray.

Amen Jesus!

...HEAVENLY FATHER....

Heavenly Father,

Allow us to be like You!  

You are the Perfect One, the Giver, and Provider to Your children.

You bless us with every spiritual blessing IN Christ Jesus.  Therefore, we must be perfect, because YOU are perfect.  

You are Forgiver, Heavenly Father, thank you. Help us to forgive and allow Mercy to pour through us, as we forgive others as You say.

You are Provider, thank you!  Even your little birdies are fed and never have to worry about a home or their bellies being empty.  You even provide for them, Abba. You are their storehouse, as You are our Storehouse, a God of many blessings, Father of heavenly lights.  You never change!  You are always the same.  I never have to worry that You might change Your mind about me, who is one imperfect human being.

Thank you that You are impartial to us mere humans.  You are no respecter of persons.  You would that not one of us should perish.  You meant it for ALL of us to be with You.  Have mercy on us Abba, for you are a just God for we are a sinful people.  

Even your Son shared You with us telling us that there is no one, for One alone is YOU, the Heavenly Father.

So help us to SHINE Jesus in our good deeds this is Your will.  May we reflect You well, Abba.  Let our Light so shine, and never be put out, but shine bright, our Light is YOU.  Let the whole earth see these good deeds that we see IN YOU and praise the Holy Name of God, our Heavenly Father.

The privileged children of God say THANK YOU!  Because YOU are our Perfect Gift- our Blessing, our Tree of Life, our forgiver.

Help us to imitate You to the best of our ability, Abba Father.

This I personally ask of You, in Jesus name I pray.  Amen Jesus, I love you!

........GOD'S SON.......

Our future thought out

God’s love sent from heaven

A babe born-

new life given.

Simplicity at it’s greatest

He was born in a stable

The wise men were able

to follow the star

The Light was bright

the Way was made

they found Him

just as the angel said

Right away they knew

because the Heavenly presence

All around was happiness and joy

the essence

of God.

His very soul and love poured out

His foundation, the Corner Stone

Was it in the norm?

Or business as usual?

No!  On that day,

Christ was born!

The fragrance of heaven came down to earth

the Spirit of God born to man;

IN man -a babe gave a little cry

A cry of humanness and God-

His breath and life.

Angels stood in awe

and the ones who participated were amazed

that this little babe brought so much attention

even the star, so bright, like the sun

it was seen in a gaze.

Bright beauty and simplicity

a manger for a bed, no pillow for His head

a dirt floor was His carpet

and the warmth was His mother’s breast.

The heartbeat of God, in His mother’s arms

so carefully, she put away in thought

the wonder, so protective

she would let nothing, no nothing

bring to the babe any harm.

The Angel, the Star, the Wisemen, she thought,

the Worship, and Adoration

the gifts they brought

Frankincense and Myrrh

and gifts of gold

The poor, the lowly

the blessed

She believed what was told!

This day a child was born

to us, a Son was given

a mother’s anguished pain forgotten

Rejoicing in all of heaven!

With bated breath faith grew

and a small seed was planted

The one chosen from God

was honored and blessed

with Life- Salvation granted.

The day Christ was born

was a day of anointing and blessing

to the mother, and father

to the believer

Our Heavenly Father expressing

His Love, His protection, His Spirit, and Life

in a wee little baby

who brings to the believer

Eternal Life.

You see, this was not any normal day

but a day called Priceless!

Not another can be re-done

copied or duplicated

No person, not even the enemy

can be called “God’s Son”  …the Son

The one from heaven- who came to earth

so that “thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”

could happen

Celebration!  Joy!

Imagine, Christ the Lord born

God has made this happen,

so joy would come

a life of happiness, never to mourn

Heaven on Earth you say?

Yes, heaven on earth, even today!

To the believer, a price was paid

beginning with the birth of Christ Jesus

The starting point of a life carefully laid

The sun rose

happiness abode

life was born into a wellspring

to the believer, there is a LOVE flow.

So stop and ponder

God’s love and wonder

His amazing Son

and be grateful!

Unto us, a Son was born

born by the power of the Spirit

to give life, victory, and freedom 

A double edged sword

dividing soul and spirit, joints

that cuts to the marrow

A life was given

to the Man of Sorrows

But Eternal Life

today and tomorrow

for the ones

who believe in the name of God

and His Son.

A little baby brought us the gift of HOPE!

A “Saved Believer”

has hope;

Hope in their Lord.

For Christ was born

for this very reason:

HOPE

Hope for the world

Hope for our faith!

Hope to see the Father!

He came from heaven

born on earth

to a very special lady, one hand picked by God!

A statement was made!

Christ was born

so we (the one who believes in Him) could be re-born

away from sin

into God’s holy presence; evermore.

That day was special indeed.

God had factored in all His worth, and even our worth.

We believers went from mortal to immortal

from death to life

from hopeless to hopeful.

Ah Lord God, my hope is in You, all the day long!

YOU are my hope of glory.

It is YOU Jesus, who has made a way to my Heavenly Father;

thank you!

The Believer’s proof is in their faith

and in their obedience.

Blessed are the People whose God is their Lord!

Happy Birthday Jesus!!!

Thank you that YOU are my Hope this Season, and Seasons to come, it’s because of YOU I rejoice!

It’s in Your Name, I say: Amen and thank you!

Love, Lorraine

Rise up and Shout...

No weapon that is formed against you will prosper

and, every tongue that accuses you in judgement you will condemn

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord

and their vindication is from Me, says the Lord.

Is 54:17,16

Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals

and brings out a weapon for its work

and I have created the destroyer to ruin.

NO WEAPON TURNED AGAINST YOU

That has been made in preparation to be used against you

shall succeed or be effective!

YOU, my Child belong to Me

this is MY promise to you

my heritage to you.

Matter of fact,

those who rise against you will be put to shame

every lie, every accusation, every voice raised

against you

will fall on deaf ears, for I know the Truth.

It will be you who will silence the liars, the accusers, the loud mouths

Because your Righteousness is of Me, says the Lord.

I will vindicate

and you will enjoy

your inheritance, Me!

Jesus, we need You now more than ever now.  We call on Your name for Salvation, for healing, for protection; by the Power of your Name.

Heavenly Father, Lord, honor our faith today.  Honor Your Word today, Lord.

Thank you that when LIFE HAPPENS and earth eyes see Messy Situations

FAITH SEES: 

HEALTH, Abundant life, FREEDOM, 

Protection

Because of Your Stripes Jesus- and because of Your Resurrection

We have these promises.  Our hearts cry: Thank you Lord! You are in Control, You are God.

We need You- We trust You- and we will not waiver in our faith in You.  In Jesus name.  Amen Jesus. Amen.

....I CALLED, YOU LISTENED.....

Psalm 6:9

The Lord has heard my cry for mercy

the Lord accepts my prayer

I cried out

and the Lord heard my plea for help

I cried to my Abba

totally emptying myself

knowing in my heart of hearts

the Lord receives my prayer

Mercy, Mercy 

I petition to my Father

with prayer and supplication

I have made my requests made known to God

I love the Lord

because He hears my voice

and my supplications

I say: 

Blessed be God

who has not turned away my prayer

nor His lovingkindness from me

As I be still

and know

HE is God

and HE receives my prayer

He also will answer my call

wholeheartedly 

He will not turn away from me

Mercy and Truth have met together

Righteousness and Peace have kissed

Truth springs from the earth

and Righteousness looks down from heaven

the Lord will give what is good

our land will yield it’s increase

Righteousness will go before Him

and make His footsteps 

our pathway.

So, be of good cheer little children

For I believe God,

that it shall be even as it was told me

That God will send His Word

and prosper it everywhere He sends it

and accomplish all that He will

it will prosper everywhere He sends it

bearing fruit…

As we believe

we will receive

and have

As we wait for hope for and expect our God…

Overflow will happen

Miracles will happen

God’s will WILL happen

and God will be glorified, Hallelujah!!!

As this has become my truth, I encourage you to make it your truth also.

BELIEVE GOD

NEVER WAIVER or DOUBT

but have such confidence that God’s will WILL be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

As we go and pray with faith in Jesus name

asking Jesus for His faith, his confidence in His Father’s YES  and AMEN

Yes Abba, let it be so, as I walk by faith and not by sight, Let it be so,

IN JESUS NAME, I cry out

Have mercy Lord…

And, the Lord

heard my cry, and answered my call.

And I called back to tell Him:  

Thank you Abba.  

I love you so much;

then God blessed me with His smile.  

May the Lord make His face shine upon you too.

LISTEN....LISTEN....

Job 37:2

Listen carefully

to the thunder of God’s voice

as it rolls from His mouth.

Listen, Listen!

His voice is as the roar of thunder!

The sound of His voice rumbles

as rolling thunder.

Are you attentively listening

to the wonderful sound of His voice?

It is quiet

and it is thunderously loud

it is calm

as it is powerfully strong

Can you hear it-

the voice of God?

Are you amazed?

Are you blessed?

Are you satisfied?

Listen, Listen!

Listen to the roar of His voice

and the rumbling that comes

from His mouth.

.....WHAT KIND OF MAN ARE YOU?......

When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:13

When I read this scripture today a question was asked in my spirit, and I feel I need to ask you what the Holy Spirit asked me.

What kind of man are you?
Have you been with Jesus?
Are you ashamed of the gospel, or like Peter and John as just ordinary people who LOVE GOD courageously/happily wanting to share your experience with others?

Have you had the experience that you- ordinary man or woman of God- of being "astonished" or witnessing something "incredible" that God has done recently? Something done "through" you via way of the Holy Spirit? You see, this is what the world sees..& others....your walk with God, and they sometimes "weigh out" WHO you are... WHAT goes on through you.... if you do things in Jesus name, and astonishing things happen....miracles that can't be explained: SAVED by way of the MERCY & GRACE of God.

Christian, you are SET APART- for the goodness of God. When was the last time you were in the Presence of God? Do you talk to Him as Friend, or do you pray/talk to God only when you "need something?" We gotta do better!

God is LOVE and His LOVE Covers- it is so wonderful when I see posts and comments of Christians who have been in the presence of God...it is so contagious...that the spirit of the Lord comes out of you. Some have the most beautiful smiles, and beautiful personalities that would make a Father (Heavenly Father that is) proud.

Thank you for blessing me- all my google + friends. God bless you today. If you would be so kind to comment & let me know what this scripture means to you.

....THE BLOOD OF JESUS......

The Blood of Jesus

1 John:7,6, 8&9

If we walk in the Light as He is in the Light, 

we have fellowship with one another, &

the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say we have fellowship with Him

yet walk in darkness, we lie

and do not practice the truth.

(f we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves

and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins

He is faithful and just to forgive us

our sins

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

See what the blood of Jesus does?  When we are IN the Light- we are IN God, we are cleansed!  God is Light and in Him is no darkness!  Light exposes sin.  Sin is a product of fruitless deeds of darkness.  God wants us not to have any part of sin, but be free in His Light.  IN Christ Jesus- in in in- the revelation of being IN Christ Jesus is so wonderful.

We are washed and cleansed by the blood of Jesus- no more sin- we don’t even want to sin- because of the Light in us.  God will bring to light what is hidden in darkness (sin) and will expose the motives of the heart… (1 Cor 4:5)

Though our sins be as scarlet, He washes them white as snow…  We have an opportunity to be free IN Christ.

But be warned: He who says He is “okay” in the Lord, better think again!  For IF he really isn’t, he is in denial and deception of the mind! Those who are “religious deniers”- or “self-righteous”  Anyone who doesn’t PRACTICE TRUTH can fall in this category.  Don’t justify who you are and what you do- Christian.  BE RIGHT- WALK RIGHT- Walk in the Light!!!!  Don’t think you can be a scratch the surface Christian- you need to be all in- Completely - - - 

For and not Against God.  A gather, not one who is wasteful with their life.  Christian BE right- let the blood of Jesus cleanse you

If you are NOT, you need to repent. Do it now!  Repent- God is faithful to forgive- don’t sell yourself short.

Listen, Light and Dark don’t mix!  And deception/lies and freedom/truth can’t join together because they are on opposite poles! This is why we need to renew our minds DAILY! Transforming ourselves IN God- via way of His wonderful Word. Not getting caught up in the world’s darkness- because you can not walk in darkness and hold God’s hand too-

or be friends with the world- This kind of "friend" is an enemy of God-  In other words, God and the devil are NOT friends- nor buddies, and they DON’T mix-  darkness brings death; Light brings salvation!  

The devil is God’s bitter enemy,  he should be yours too.

This is why it is important to stay in fellowship with other believers.  To encourage one another.  Let me tell you something.  The ones who “think” you are strong in Jesus, but walk in darkness need a lot of prayer.  

If this is you, you need to check and recheck- asking the Holy Spirit to help you- 

and if you are convicted, don’t forget to repent.

Even if you are not sure: REPENT!  Do it for the sake of obedience; and your freedom.  Don’t be bound with uncertainty- but free in the Light.

We can all say that we all get bombarded with missiles from the enemy;  but Greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world.  The Greater one is Light-  Light is IN you, Christian!  Don’t deceive yourself- remove the beam- remove the darkness so that everything is light- and practice and imitate your God.  He is faithful to forgive you when you mess up- ask Him to forgive you- let’s stop right now and pray.

Father, forgive us when we fall short- and miss the mark and goal You have for us.  Forgive the sin that tries to cling to us- and help us to willingly shake it off- fling it off, Lord anything of You, help us to hurl it away.  Help us to tell that mountain M O V E IN JESUS NAME.   Sin has no part of me- My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and His Spirit lives IN me….  I was bought with a price, and I thank you Jesus.  Help us when we think we are going good- without You- leaving You behind, because of pride.  Stop us when we get ahead of ourselves, Jesus.  We repent!!!   Show us Holy Spirit where we err, please Lord, cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  In Jesus name we pray- Make us STRONG IN You, Jesus- please guard our heart and mind- and fill us as we renew our mind with YOU, IN YOU, and THROUGH You, be with us, Lord. Thank you for the blood that was shed on our behalf.  

In Jesus name we pray,   

Amen Jesus!!!!  Amen.
