📖 My Jewel Journal ❤️ His Living Waters
The Spirit of the Lord rests upon me
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding
The Spirit of counsel and might
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord
Behold God is my salvation I will trust and not be afraid
For the Lord is my strength and my song
He also is become my salvation
Therefore, with joy
I will draw water from the wells of salvation
I will Praise the Lord and call upon His name
I will declare His deeds among the people
I will say His name is exalted
I will sing to the Lord a new song
for He has done marvellous things
His right hand and His holy arm has given us the victory
Cry out and shout for great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst. Isaiah 11:2, 12:2-6, Psalms 98:1
This morning I pondered in my heart the beginning of my journey and as I meditated on these scriptures I came to realize the Holy Spirit rests upon me, and He is all wisdom and understanding and knowledge. He is the one that will counsel me and give me strength to make it to my destiny. I thought if the Spirit rests upon me then it is up to me to acknowledge Him. He waits for me to make the move and take the big step up to discover more of His power.
Like the woman at the well I was thirsting for His living waters, the Holy Spirit. I sought after Him with all my heart. It didn’t happen overnight it was a continual seeking after Him. I cried out to the Lord because I knew I had to know Him and experience His living waters flowing in my life or I’d be back in the world. Then it happened and His peace, joy and love overflowed in me. A hunger and thirst was planted in my heart for more…
In Matthew 5:6 it says, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. And the Lord has shown me in His word through the Holy Spirit I will always thirst and long for Him, until that day comes
In Revelation 7:16 it says. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat. For the Lamb (which is Jesus) which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and lead them into the living fountain of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Hallelujah!!
Oh, what a glorious verse but until then let’s keep on seeking and thirsting with a hunger for God above everything else…our bodies need water to survive and how much more does our spiritual being need the living waters of the Holy Spirit to be revived and survive! So let us drink up and thrive with a new refreshing everyday!!
Praise God! All Glory be to our Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
Love, prayers and blessings, Lollita ❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
