A Drink of Water


Last night, there was a bang on the metal screen door. Which is pretty normal, for our quaint tourquoise church house on wilkens ave. Every monday we have Prayer, and tonight.. things were moving pretty slow. We actually had decided to change locations, bc of the heat, then we prayed about it and the Lord told us to stay put. It had even cooled off, so it wasn't that bad at all.. But here were are.. and all of the sudden Steve knocks on the door. Asking for a drink of cold water.

So we invite him in, and invited him to join us for prayer..and he says, " i don't want to be disrespectful" I don't believe any of of this stuff... and in that moment, I heard God speak . This is his night. So we listened and shared and listened and shared ... We shared testimonies and encouraged each other.

Steve Accepted Christ last night...God Gave Him Living water

felt like something straight out of the scriptures..

JOhn 4:
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

Fill Me Up God

You provide the Fire
and I'll provide the sacrifice
You provide the Spirit
and I will open up inside
Fill me up God
Fill me up God
Fill me up God
Fill me up God
Fill me up God
Fill me up God

Love of God
Overflow
permeate
all my soul



This is my prayer today..
Fill me up God..

I NEED God.. so much..
I'm reminded of how weak and fragile I am.. I'm reminded, of all of my failings, even on my best day.. How I'm un able to stand, i do the things I don't want to do,and the things i want to do, i do not do.. over and over and over.. then he reminds me.. He's m redeemer.. not me. but Christ in me.. He knew what he was getting into, when he chose me. and He still likes me :)

Have a blessed day, and even inf you feel like a failure, know that God ois not finished with you,and He chooses us, simply bc it's HIs choice..not out of our own righteousness..



He lives..
