No substitute for My Living Water
There is no substitute for My Living Water on Earth. Turn from all distractions so you can drink from Me. Desire My Water. It is real . . . not a concept. Ask Me. John 7:39 “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Joel 2:38 And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever– John 17:1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. John 16:14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.

I Am your friend
You must know that I Love you. When you understand how much I Love you, then you will not be uncomfortable with Me. You will approach Me knowing I Am your friend. Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love.

The ecstasy of My Presence within you
Storms with high winds, lightening, and rain drive people indoors. Let the political, economic, relational, and emotional storms drive you deeper into the interior of your temple with Me. Then you will be thankful for the storm as you receive the ecstasy of My Presence within you. Shut the door to exterior life. You must come in alone. I Am your shelter in the storm. Psalm 61:2-4 From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.

Idols . . . die to them, not for them
When someone dies of a broken heart, then they have died of loving someone other than Me. This is a slow and painful death. I want to save you from dying for your idols. Die to them, not for them. To die is to separate. Separate your self, your will, your desire from all others. Give your heart only to Me. When you die for Me, you will find out what it is to truly be alive. Then idols will have no effect on you. Matthew 22:37-40 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 19:29 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. Matthew 10:34 Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.35 For I have come to part asunder a man from his father, and a daughter from her mother, and a newly married wife from her mother-in-law—36 And a man’s foes will be they of his own household 37 He who loves [and takes more pleasure in] father or mother more than [in] Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves [and takes more pleasure in] son or daughter more than [in] Me is not worthy of Me

Pray for suffering
When you pray for another, pray that they will have endurance for the pain of suffering caused by the evil one, if they have given up all idols. Do not pray that the ones who suffer from losing their idols would regain the idols. Pray that My Will is done instead. James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Romans 5:3-4 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Hebrews 12:6 The Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.

The Only Source of True Joy
When the world or relationships are the source of your laughter and joy, they will end in pain. Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Colossians 3:1-4 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory
