Just Ask God
All I Need
I been blinded by darkness
Thrown in a lake of shame and poverty
Thinking my pride
Could withstand me
My self-centeredness had me focused
on the things that keep me chained
Thinking I was running closer to my destiny
I was failing to see
That the sea of my needs
Are from my own desires, my own needs
Now I’m Drowning
Not knowing where I stand
The reflection of the sun
Shinning on the lake
Was there to hold me hostage
In making mistakes
Thinking it was God’s presence
But in reality it was the enemy
Keeping me trapped in the worlds
Way of coping
When all i needed was to let free
Follow the voice that whispered
Come , come my child and follow me
call out to Jesus
Elijah wake up
1 Kings 19:1-8
Sometimes God has to put us into a wilderness to regain strength
Elijah’s sin was that he allowed fear to enter his heart and mind. He allowed fear to take place in his life and decision making. Fear became his God and instead of trusting God he doubted . So he allowed fear to bring doubt and once doubt creeped in it caused him to become tired and sleepy because he no longer had a connection with God.
Read Isaiah 41:10
Do not be dismayed- discouraged, dishearted, depressed, oppressed, or despaired
being dismayed causes us to break down the courage within
Psalms 3:5 / Proverbs 6:9
Verse 4 – Elijah pleaded with God and requested to die
He pleaded no more God ENOUGH I’m not strong enough
Verse 5 – says he layed and slept over a juniper tree
He layed and slept- His consciousness was practically suspended leaving him paralyzed
When you sleep body has no movement
To lie down means to give up to surrender
Elijah forgot to trust God because he became to busy feeling sorry for himself
So if your in a place where you need to make a decision trust God that he will be faithful and guide you.
The Samaritan Woman
John 4: 1-28
I awoke last night thinking about the Samaritan woman who met with Jesus at the well. She had an appointment with the messiah the savior of the world. The Samaritan woman was a member of a hated mix race. She was known to be living in sin. Jesus did not come to condemn her but to offer her a way to a new beginning. In the mist of her circumstances he showed up.
The conversation between this woman and Jesus was amazing. Jesus asks her for a drink of water and her response was “ you have nothing to draw the water with “ Jesus response was “ if you only knew the gift of God and who it is that ask you for a drink “
See the gift was standing right in front of her. Jesus was offering himself. Maybe the Samaritan woman didn’t know that to receive this living water you don’t need a cup to draw it because Jesus is the cup that overflows the waters to those who are thirsty. Jesus is the cup.
Psalm 42: 1 , Isaiah 51:1 , Jeremiah 2: 13 , 17:13 , Zechariah 13:1
The Samaritan woman had a water pot . That water pot could not hold no water because it was broken. So when she would pour water into her water pot the water would never be enough to quench her thirst , but in this story there was an exchange.
Jesus said give me some of your water and exchange I’ll give you a fountain of living water that you shall never thirst again. The Samaritan woman was opened to receive this water and said to Jesus “ give me this water “ and then the conversation shifts to then him telling her everything about her. He begins to witness to her as he then reveals himself to her. He begins to tell her “ I am he the living water “ the Messiah , the Christ .
The Samaritan woman received the living water and left her water pot. She quickly left and began to witness about Jesus to everyone. Historically the Samaritan woman was the first Christian Evangelist woman to go preach Jesus to everyone that would hear her. She was the first who went out of her way by her own initiative to tell how Jesus changed her life and forgave her sins.
