Thirsty Thursday

In your thirst for knowledge, be sure not to drown in all the information. …


Ecclesiastes 12:12 KJV: And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid

rehab

So many theories, so many opinions


John 14:6 ... “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” King James ..

So many religions, so many people trying this and that. It is so simple. Jesus. He is the answer.

John 4:13-14
Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”


Matthew 5:6
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Isaiah 44:3  For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

John 7:37  Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.





Do not let me mislead you, there are many more scriptures on thirsting for the Jesus, these are just a few. If you want to know, ask, if you are seeking you will find but seek you must. The answers are there. You do not have to ask someone, ask God. Then open up the living Word! I pray you are blessed and that the burning quest for knowledge you are searching for be found in the Lord!

        Not trying to sound weird here.. but when I first found your blog and started talking to you, there was something about it. I don’t entirely know my purpose on this blog but I feel very strongly to encourage you and help you. I want you to succeed in your life and especially in your salvation.

        Ok I’m going to tell you what’s on my mind and heart right now. God has made a move. It’s painful but if you endure this you’re going to understand what Job said, I shall come forth tried as gold.

        God one time pulled me out of a church that me and my family were attending. I kept seeing red flags but I didn’t understand them. We were happy there but I kept seeing red flags. I prayed about where God wanted me. This church had no Sunday evening service. So I visited other churches. I found a church that God confirmed He wanted me in so many ways it was creepy lol. So I left the other church and the preacher who like a brother to me. But I was doing what God wanted me to do.

        Long story short, my family was not happy. And they didn’t like the church I was going to. My wife wouldn’t go and for about 11 years I went to church alone. But I grew in faith. I grew in grace in the presence of God. And because I was strong in the Lord, my wife and family would ask me for prayer and talk to me about things. Just as Jesus said, the fowls would take refuge in your branches.

        Ok… another long story short lol!! God made another move. Me and my family are going to a church together and we’re all happy. And it’s all in God’s will. And I’m preaching and I’m a deacon there.

        Keep enduring Bella. Promise you there’s a reason and a tremendous blessing at the other side of this. And you’re not alone. I understand the pain and the weakness you’re feeling.

    Ok I’m going to share something else with you. I’m going to share this with my church Wednesday,

    “I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
    ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:2-9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    So Paul was doing the will of God. And he had a messenger of Satan buffet him. Meaning this person was punishing him for being obedient to God. And it was as a thorn in his flesh, the best way I can describe this is something trying penetrate you. To bring pain and anguish on you.

    Paul said he sought the Lord 3 times about this situation. 3 is God’s number of perfection. As in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. All 3 are 1. Perfect. So Paul is saying he sought God until he was made perfect. He sought God until he had his perfect answer and everything he needed to remain in the Lord’s will and be blessed.

    So, Bella, keep seeking God until you’ve been made perfect. Until you have your answer from the Lord with His confirmation.

    “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
    ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:7-8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
    ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28-29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        He called several Times last night making me cry so bad so I really am relying on what you told me and reading about Paul and when he was doing the will of God and the work of God how a message it was sent to penetrate and to step to bother him and that’s what is going on right now because I live under his roof and I can’t afford to move out yet so I’m asking God to open the doors for me to get my CDL so I can go on the road I will have a place to live on the truck or in hotels and not be in this house and that God will restore my knee so that I can do this because that’s the problem is I have to live in this house because when he beat me up last year he made me fall and it severed my ACL So I need surgery but I can’t have surgery until the healing goes better and the swelling goes down I just need to rest right now I know and not worry about tomorrow and praise God for what he’s done in my life and how he’s getting people out of my life he doesn’t want in my life because I know God loves me and I know they will answer my prayers

        All I need is people praying in agreement that my Father opens doors that cannot be closed and closes doors that cannot be opened. I know weeping endures the night but joy cokes in the morning. There is a season and a time for everything. This is my season to trust and rest and not worry. Child like faith. I know my Father is preparing something for me. Thank you so much

    Bella!! I just got an awesome word from the Lord I hope is a blessing and encouragement for you!!

    “Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
    ‭‭Luke‬ ‭22:28-30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a God that bears long with us. He is a God that sticks closer than a brother. He is a God that goes through everything with us.

    God is a God that endures with us. He, having went through every conceivable temptation also continues with us through our own.

    Every temptation, every overwhelming thing we go through, He is there! Not just there but right there with you!

        You’re worth it, Bella. I usually ask before I adopt someone for a brother or sister… I just straight up took you in. lol! From the moment I started reading your blog I could not help but feel something! And when you got quiet I felt something. I’ve felt great concern about you from day 1. I care about everyone I meet on the blog. I feel as though if I’m going to follow your blog, you’re an investment of my time and attention. And I don’t follow just anyone. Bella, you’re special. And I’m starting to understand my feelings. You are spiritually my sister and you need someone to help you. I’m the kind that wants to help. And I don’t even want a thank you. We can thank Jesus when we meet Him and each other in heaven.

        In the next verses, Jesus tells Peter (Simon) that Satan desired to sift him as wheat. Meaning he was after his salvation. But because Simon endured with Jesus through all His hardships, Jesus prayed on his behalf that his faith stayed strong.

        The same enemy is after you. To sift you as wheat. But keep enduring Tiffany. The Son of God sits at the right hand of the Father making intercession according to the will of the Father. He’s still praying for you right this minute.

        “Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
