The woman found Jesus at the Well
Then Jesus found the Well in the woman
And the whole town came to see
The man who spoke so bluntly
While the Disciples were in town
(Food for their bodies was their goal)
He was giving Eternal food to feed their Eternal souls
What we need to hear
Is the Truth about ourselves
Not “all is well” when really
We’re on the way to Hell
What we need to taste
Is a meeting with Jesus face to face
We need to think with what our hearts drink (not our minds)
Jesus will offend our minds to reveal what’s in our hearts
Though we try to impress each other with how we’re really smart
At the end of our minds is where our salvation starts

So let Jesus dig up the Well that is in you
Let all that is of your flesh be dug up and removed
That the Spirit full of living water from your heart,
out of your belly, may flow through, 
Hallelu!

“Cover me daddy” were the words that she shared
looking to see if I’d show that I cared
Rediscover me daddy –
take thought for me anew
For my blessing of being covered
comes directly through you

I thought about her heart’s cry
and I slowly began to realize
I am to model for her The Father’s love
So she will forever know
what His heart is full of…

Who came up with the idea that Christians are supposed to be the peacemakers of the earth? That we are supposed to get along with everyone? That we are to avoid confrontations at all costs? Listen, Jesus clearly said in Mt:10:34 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword." Read on, Jesus came to divide homes and families and indeed, people from all walks of life, from all nations. This is how we will know the Anti-Christ, for he comes to bring peace to the world....and of course, the world will love him for it because until he arrives, they will have never known peace. He is the opposite of Jesus, who came not to bring peace.

We, as Christians, cannot have peace with the world, try as we might. It's impossible. We are on diametrically opposed paths. You cannot make peace or be friends with someone who is going to Hell while you are going to Heaven. James 4:4 says "Friendship with the world is enmity with God." The only place you can have peace with another human being is in the Body of Christ (not church). This is a supernatural peace that comes from the Holy Spirit. It is a miracle and it is marvelous and wonderful. The unity of the brethren bound together by The Father's Spirit is so precious because it is so rare. Treasure it wherever you may find it. Value it above rare gems or money or anything else on this earth you may value.

II Timothy 3:12 makes it clear - in this life, in this world, we will suffer again and again, persecutions and broken hearts from giving the love of God to people who constantly reject His love and us along with it. Do not cast your pearls before swine. Love all men as best you can and seek peace but do not be offended when it does not happen. Don't despair, faithful one, when men despise you and hate you rather rejoice. AND REALIZE WHEN IT COMES FROM SO CALLED BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST THAT THEY ARE JUST REVEALING WHO THEIR REAL FATHER IS. Great is your reward in Heaven, remember, when men, even the members of your own house (spiritual or natural) hate and reject you. Again i say, rejoice!

Stop trying to be Mr. nice guy in the sense that you want to avoid offending people - it's impossible not to. In fact, I would say if you haven't offended someone in a while, do a self diagnosis of the state of your personal relationship with Christ. Jesus said "Beware when all men speak well of you" yet this seems to be the goal of so many. The truth is and will always be highly offensive to those who love the lie! Expect rejection godly one for it will happen, over and over again.

Grasp the fellowship in the Spirit when you find it, people bound together by His love and presence in one another - avoid fellowships bound together by the flesh and religious ceremonies. Stay vulnerable but stay wise too. Embrace confrontation whenever it comes, Jesus did! Use the sword Jesus spoke of, His Word, written and inspired by His Spirit, in other words, prophecy. See miracles result but don't despair when rejection and hate are spewed upon you. Congratulations! You're normal!

PS One clarification.....Jesus did come to bring peace between us and the Father. Not between us and the world....

Lord,
I could write a million poems
Move the hearts in a million homes
but comparatively, it would all be
just a drop in the ocean of Your love for me
Lord,
You love people
Not programs or pulpits or lofty church steeples,
Cliques or clichés – Reality not religious ways
You love people, You’re a part of everyone’s story –
You see our shame, You see our glory
An older woman near her death
A baby taking his first breath
You see it all and through it all You desire to Bless
Your goodness is better than life
I could sing a million songs
Praise Your Name my whole life long
but it would all be not nearly enough
to compare to the Love you have for us

I know that long ago when God first breathed  into Adam's nostrils
He exhaled.
And Adam, the first man, came alive.
And one day, God will inhale and the last man will die....

Every breath we breathe,
from Adam to the last man living,
is actually, God's breath.
He's loaned us each heart beat we possess.
How we use them is up to us, 
but don't think for a minute He doesn't notice
how His breath is being used -
to power a heart that loves Him or hates Truth?
God created our souls.
Don't you think He knows
where you'll one day go?
Your body, everything you are, 
is all on loan from God.
What will you do when the lease expires?
You can't buy your next breath.
You can't buy your own soul.
The only price God will accept
is Jesus' blood that flowed.......
