Will Not Worship Green Grass

Voice of Prayer

The value of God’s wisdom is incomparable. Wisdom of God brings enlargement to our lives. We are to see through His eyes & understand. His kingdom is moving & enlarging. As it does, the purposes for our lives will enlarge our capacity.  We are given a greater ability to see through His eyes as we humble ourselves to read & spend time in His presence.

Proverbs 8: 20- 26 NKJV 20 I traverse the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice, 21 That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries.

22 The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old. 23 I have been established from everlasting, from the beginning, before there was ever an earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth; 26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, or the primal dust of the world.

The power of God is the inherent characteristic of God. His nature is inherent power. We can see that in His creation.

Revealed in Jeremiah 10:12-18  Amplified Bible, 12 God made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and by His understanding & skill stretched out the heavens. 13 When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, & He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain & brings forth the wind out from His treasuries & from His storehouses. 14 Every man has become like a brute, irrational & stupid, without knowledge [of God]; every goldsmith is brought to shame by his graven idols; for his molten images are frauds and falsehood, & there is no breath in them. 15 They are devoid of worth, usefulness or truth, a work of delusion and mockery; in their time of trial & punishment they shall [helplessly] perish. 16 The Portion of Jacob [the true God on Whom Israel has a claim] is not like these, for He is the Fashioner and Maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance----the Lord of hosts is His name. 17 Gather up your bundle [of baggage] from the ground, O you who dwell under siege. 18 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time and will bring distress on them, that they may feel it and find it [to be as I have said, and turn to Me.].

God is real and He has presence. He has a voice that He speaks but do we hear Him speak? Without knowing Him we become like the brute beast. We become irrational and yes stupid. I do not know about you, but I do not want to be stupid in my daily living.

It is God who established the earth. It is He who regulates the times and seasons we read from verse 13 of chapter 10 of Jeremiah the prophet. God is called the Lord of hosts.

Isaiah 45:11-13 NKJV 11 Thus says the LORD, The Holy One of Israel, & his Maker; Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; & concerning the work of My hands, you command Me. 12 I have made the earth, & created man on it. --My hands----stretched out the heavens, & all their host I have commanded. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, & I will direct all his ways; he shall build My city & let My exiles go free, not for price nor reward, says the Lord of hosts.

From this passage, God is speaking to Cyrus and as God's instrument he was raised in righteousness to do God's will on earth. If you are born again to God, then you have His Spirit living in you to guide you in those daily affairs in life. In our turning to God we are turning to Him in faith and much trust. In relying on His wisdom, we live this life with His wisdom on our minds and in our hearts.

Proverbs 15:7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the fool does not do so.

We have to understand that there is a right way and a wrong way to disperse knowledge. When God reveals something to you and I through His word then we are to tell others, and teach them if necessary what the word means in our daily life.

John 8:32 says that the truth sets people free. And the truth is that which is revelation knowledge and it comes from God who is the God of love. He loves us greatly and sent His Son to prove it!

Corruption appears when we make idols!  Exodus 20:4-6    NKJV 4"You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Keep what God commanded has us as to those boundaries of safety in Him. There is nothing created on earth that can come close to displaying God or our Lord Jesus Christ. These two are unique indeed. They come from beyond this physical realm we know so well. They are the absolute. They are the pure and undefiled. They are eternal. Yet the idol is a something or a someone of any other realm that man can make and can value. But we are to give to God rightfully what belongs to Him and that is worship to our Creator.

 You and I must know who God is and know His love for in that is He revealed. We become what we worship. And knowing idolatry is a false thing and without life to it, why worship what cannot speak nor breathe? Acts 17:25 Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'for we are also His offspring'.

The bloodline is of God and the people, those men and women, are made in His image. Knowing God's true nature is important because we become what we worship. Thus, this commandment from Exodus 20 covers idolatry in a form in which the true God if worshiped through either a false image or a corrupt practice that is the false representation of His true reality. If we idolize that thing, we become the wrong thing. Then we act like what we worship and identify with it in our day to day living.

Ask yourself today if there are any idols in your life. Ask God by His Holy Spirit to direct you into seeing what you might have created as "an idol". For some it could be a hobby or for others it could be that band where you can exhibit your talent with the bass guitar.

What is that which spurs you into tomorrow? Is it God and to know Him and His love for you and yours or is it to make a name for you? This year was the year I got back into exercising and it consists of a lawnmower and a big yard. It was to get back out into the light of day and expend some energy to actually tone up some muscles that needed some real help. When one is ill and taken out of the daily living cycle, one can get depressed, and lose interest in life. That is why God's word is so important so that we can see daily the life He has for us from that living word. Getting back to eating the right foods and drinking plenty of good water, and exercise I have found more energy but I also find I have to watch & make certain that cutting the grass every week is not becoming an idol to me.

Paul wrote this: Romans 1:25....who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, & worshiped & served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

There should be no wrath for the children of God. And why? Because we find this from Paul: 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 NKJV For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, & how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

Will I consider the verse above and remember turning to God is turning to the living and the true? For with all the false narratives and created lies and deceit, I would rather have life in God than in what some news programs can speak out as the pompous and blasphemous horn of hate to many men even though we all have the same blood given to us by the One true God. And the next time I cut the grass in the backyard, I will remember I got to do it because God met me in the early morning hours of March 18, 2015 to keep me alive to enjoy another beautiful day in the sun and give Him praise for His goodness to me in the land of the living. 

Will you consider what might overpower you to worship it? For me, I will not worship green grass!

ENGAGED

Christ and His Church

Matthew 22:37-40  NKJV  37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment.  39  And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Jesus told us two principles: love toward God (Deut. 6:5) and love toward our neighbor (Leviticus 19:18) In remembering those early years of Sunday School and our Mrs. Taylor, I remember the love she spoke with when referring us back to the commandments of God. I remember how she gave Scripture and spoke of Moses walk up that mountain to wait diligently on God, to hear and carry down those wonderful words that God prepared for His people.

Mrs. Taylor would take those commands of us and reveal the importance of them for our lives. In those listed as the first four, we find the “relationship’ with God and the last six commands dealt with yes, the relationship with “the fellow man”.

For those who find friendship engaging, will find devotion time with God like a real workout indeed! Finding that time, yes the quiet, is sometimes hard to locate in any one day. Still to know someone, you must remove some things and people from your life to make room for the new person.

In coming into a major year of marriage UNION for my husband and myself, I find I still seem to know so little of him. I ask questions and even ask what I might should know of what would be on his mind for that moment or day or what his day was actually like without trying to read his facial expressions.

Sometimes I can calculate by hearing his voice if it was a fruitful day for him and those around him.

 Relationship always involves other people. We find that in regard to the relationship of Christ and His church.

Revelation 21:1-4  Then I saw a new sky (heaven) and a new earth, for the former sky and former earth had passed away (vanished), and there no longer existed any sea. (Isa 65:17)  2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, all arrayed like a bride beautified and adorned for her husband;  3 Then I heard a mighty voice from the throne and I perceived its distinct words, saying, saying, See! The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people and God shall personally be with them and be their God. (Ezekiel 37:27) 4 God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away. (Isaiah 25:8; Isaiah 35:10)

For us we are in the period preceding what we find in Revelation 19:7-9. Amplified Bible states: Let us rejoice and shout for joy[ exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself.  (Psalm 118:24)  8 She has been permitted to dress in fine (radiant) linen, dazzling and white-----for the fine linen is (signified, represents,) the righteousness (the upright, just and godly living, deeds and conduct and right standing with God) of the saints ( God’s holy people). 9 Then the [angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited ,called) to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me [further], these are the true words (the genuine & exact declarations) of God.

If I had to have had a regular time of meeting with the man I was betrothed to, would not we need the regular meeting time to get to know one another AS WITH CHRIST?

 Amos 3:3 asks the question, “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” YOU certainly have to meet with your betrothed more than once a week. Our meetings must take place often, especially in regard to the Husband to His Church.

I like the amplified Bible for this verse: Do two walk together except they make an appointment and have agreed?

In our own planning, my future husband was going away to start his education in this city. Fall rolled around and he was off!  So when the wedding date came around in the winter, all the plans were made, all things in place to be married and to make the final move to an area new to us both. We then had evenings together, meals to plan and future things to consider!

I know of married couples  and each still have their times out with their girl friends and the husband with his friends. Seems like it should be that which regards the marriage unit of a couple to meet with other couples, right? Each of us as an individual had come into a relationship where two are considered and not just one merely choosing their “free time” to be with friends or making plans for a trip with girl friends.

When I considered marriage, did I consider it a serious matter? Did I look at what we had together in fellowship and what topics we had enjoyed as “that couple”? Because as the New Year began, we began as the couple who assembled together for the ride to the grocery store, the ride over to the shopping center, we assembled together for entertainment and even paying taxes!

So in consideration that being the Church, being married to our Husband who is God, do we see the importance at the spiritual level to be a part of what is His plan?

For me, I can only speak of what I ask Him for those I am seeking to pray for….as early this morning and seeing some men in a dangerous place. I ask for His knowledge and how I might pray for them and then I prayed. I even got agreement with my husband for those men's safety in the workplace! When my husband is home  and we have our quiet time, we pray together, some evenings we have scripture that we read over and talk about. We have times while just taking a ride over the mountain & within conversation discover that we had the same conversations with God just the day before!

I am still learning much of my husband’s heart, his humor and his pain. I continue to ask him questions maybe when he is not ready, but in truth we expect to be a part of each other’s lives for a very long time. If we know eternity is on the line, will we seek that time to know Him even more?

I am thankful for Mrs. Taylor….may she rest in peace ……for I will see her lovely face and remind her one day of those important things she gave to me and my dad when we both sat before her in that Sunday School class! I will remind her of those important commands that we love God and we love our neighbor!

Don't Live Like a Refugee

Voice of Prayer: Storms come, but do not be defined by them.

Was thinking of this title for about two weeks. I then remembered the lyrics of an "old" Tom Petty song that was done some decades ago, and asked the Lord what I should write about.

Now from that song, he mentions being burned by other lovers and in respect, the world can provide many lover's, but to whom will we trust our hearts to?
Being held for a ransom, literally tied up into something of the world is a "really bad place" to be. Yet there are many who are not saved today. They have not turned to hear His voice, the Lord of glory, but have continued to walk and hold onto abandonment, brokenness and pain.

Refugee: one who flees for safety, either from war, forced out by hurricanes and tornadoes.
The Collins Dictionary gives this meaning: REFUGEES are people who have been forced to leave their homes or their country, either because there is war, because of political or religious beliefs or because of natural disasters.

Bad things can occur. We live an world with an evil ruler (satan), yet our hearts are to be set on Jesus Christ the Lord of glory. Understanding that He is to leads us, yet I wonder how many are still placed in harm's way. More bad can come upon the world when sin is prevailing. 

Scripture tells us in Matthew 5:44-45..."love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. 45 "that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes the sun rise on the evil and o the good; and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

We may not want to think about that sin thing! But when a nation turns from the things God they move into harm's way.  I remember this family who moved out of harm's way in the Texas area. They moved many miles due north of them to be doing "what the Lord asked them to do". 
So today they are high and yes dry. They have their home and safety as well.

But even if you are in the as we say "bad zone", the Lord has a way out. Being Christian should not be one who just functions within a "church building". They should not to consider that they are cutting edge when they remain closed up like Jericho behind closed doors. (The difference, the world is going to get them, instead the Lord has come  live within us and show us to take the land for His own glory.) If God is truly in us and with us we should be taking the land for His glory.

Recently I had written on standing like Esther. We should stand in the face of any real situation that can kill, yet when we know God is with us, we stand victoriously just like Esther and she did it through prayer. In Scripture we find others as well who took the "hard " road if you will allow it. They took what is known as a non-antagonistic stance toward the world. In Daniel and Joseph, we saw relationship precedes any ministry.
You cannot lead anyone you cannot influence. If we are cut-outs that just fit within the building...then we will be of no value where it counts. It is a real service to speak prophetically to your congregation but what about speaking that in the marketplace?

There has been many violent storms come through the coast lands as well as many fires inland of this great country. Yet are we speaking of God 's goodness and are we going into all the world or is is just about "that" Saturday night service or Sunday morning service.

In Dr. Bernard's Greek translations he introduced three such words for "world".
One is found in Matthew 13:22. Within this speaking of Jesus, "the cares of this world (aion) refers us to the period of time, to a generation that is in human history.

A second one is found Matthew 24:14. Again in Jesus' speaking, it is, "This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world (oikuomene) as a witness to all the nations." Oikuomene means land, territories and geographical nations.

Then Dr. Bernard gave alos a third meaning for world that is found in Mark 16:15. Again within Jesus' speaking,  "Go into all the world (kosmos) and preach the gospel to every creature." This use of kosmos by Christ is very interesting indeed.  Within this meaning we find it means to penetrate every social order, arrangement or culture—the way human society is organized. Yes, we are to penetrate the culture with God's word.

Have had many a talk with my husband and son-on-law as well about how to penetrate the culture as it is. If you have been in church for any length of time you will find it is divided into what is known as the the society in seven pillars.

They are : (1) religion, (2) family, (3) business, (4) education, (5) government, (6) arts, and (7) media. The latter five of business, education, government, arts and media make up what is called the "marketplace."

In understanding we are given the command to "go", then we also understand that Jesus gave us that to "preach" but also to engage.

(In a recent teaching from Life Giving Wells, the Lord gave me the teaching for "God Devised Glorification". Within that teaching we are to engage, not remain within "four walls".

Whether you have been abused by a hurricane, hit by a fast moving tornado or seen raging fires within your community, state or country, still the mandate still holds. We are to engage and in that point to engage that social order within any territory and yes the marketplace we must prove to be the relevant.

I have seen people in the last ten years to stop their teachings and pull up couches to just "chat it up" about some distant memory of God from their youth or early years of ministry but mention nothing of His majesty and glory that prevails when we come on a bent knee to pray in Jesus' name and to live like He purposed: not as a refugee from the area of 'hard knocks', volatile situations but to live for His glory in His peace and His victory. AND that is for today, to live for Him, and expect Him to prevail for us.

There are many people misplaced, and some without anything much to return to but ashes. Do not allow the devil to tell you are finished! Do not allow him to lie to you! It is not over! Get up, dust off and heed God!


And for those who have been through it already, what about our taking part in prayer for those affected, and what about some support from our check-book for those affected, and what about food from our own pantry to support another,  and from the prayer room of our house? 
No we cannot be in all places like God, but when we pray, we live outside of the box. When we pray we seek the face of God and see things change for the glory of God and for the safety of His people things happen, the environment is changed and life appears again.

Living out the Pharisaical route should not be considered among us. 

I remember reading once of Pastor Kong Hee wrote and preached that people of the church were not to live like they are carving out a Christian ghetto for themselves. He wrote they who do live that way, live in legalism and continue to make man-made rules. He said in that environment, members of the Christian faith would be taught to see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. 

Yes, each one of them within that congregation would remain unexposed to the world around them and remain also very innocent to those things as he related.

Ours is to live a life unhindered. If we truly live within Jesus's teachings, adhere to that truth only and do as He does we would be outside of the walls more often. God truly wants to keep us safe and if we obey Him, then we should be found with Him in truth, love, peace, holding onto faith that we are purposed to live for Him. Whatever the occurrence in your life, yet God is alive and He hears us when we really seek Him in prayer.

We are not to live as "refugees". We are to live for God to see His glory come and fill this earth, not just within four-walls of a church building. Today, I pray that you would know when God is speaking. And it will not be from the lazy boy recliner of life. We must be immersed in Him, His word, and be those who will pray those truths out. May the Father of Light reveal to you what is on your pathway, and may you heed those detours and obey to move ahead when the going is clear, yet remember He said I will never leave you nor will I ever forsake you. Where ever you may be at this moment and whatever condition, obey the Lord's leading and go in His peace. Live life to the full, and fear not. Remember, " seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added to you. Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."  ( Luke 12:31-32) Amen.

That Wedding Day!

Was captured by the wedding day of Rachel Lamb and Joshua Brown! Now if you watch Daystar Television.......then you know they were married in the last few months. And the leaders/hosts of Daystar Marcus and Joanie Lamb produced the wedding event for their family. Now in truth I saw it about three weeks ago and had seen it listed for this date. I did not watch it all, but waited for the part, you know, where the Bride makes her entrance. I was captured by the tears that flowed from that Joshua Brown and how he was touched by the entrance of his bride. The tears gently pushed aside, a smile enveloped his whole being.
I was captured that in the same respect as to seeing Jesus awaiting His Bride (the church), yes the one without spot or wrinkle appear before Him. Yes, I was moved in a way I had never thought of about a wedding scene.
I do not remember my groom having wept as I walked toward him on our wedding day. I cannot state what he experienced, but I can imagine what Jesus would experience on that eventful day.


Ephesians 5:26-33  KJV

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

I was always capture by verse 28-32 in that the groom, the husband to be would want to nourish his wife as he would his own body. The man was to leave his mother, his family and go make a new life with the Bride of his choosing. In becoming one flesh with her, would desire to nurture, care for and see she is safe.

Again, only speaking from what I have seen and experienced in my life, the wedding is surely the most festive event of one's life, whether you are the bride or the groom. And in concerning the Church and Christ Jesus, one thing remains, it will happen!
In knowing Jesus the Christ, we know Him as wisdom for us. He makes us so wise. Knowing Him and His wisdom is number one priority. It is not how much you make, it is not how much you owe, it is not if you were abandoned as a child, or how many millions you have in an account. It is not in accordance with how many degrees you might hold. For knowing Him, we count His knowledge as value to us (His bride). Those who discount Jesus also discount His knowledge. Being with Him, helps us to discern the important things in life. Maintaining His wisdom is foremost to us!

In regard to the one who has the bright mind, what good is it if the priority is not in God and for His glory? What will having a lot of degrees gain for you, if you should lose your soul?
In 2 Timothy 3:7....."they are forever inquiring and getting information, but are never able to arrive at a recognition and knowledge of the Truth." (Amplified Bible)

 Wise people seek Jesus first, then use their gifts to glorify Him.

At the end of this year 2016, look into the eyes of Jesus. Realign if you need to, and encounter God. Encounter Him as the priority not for a new direction or new walk. For we are to walk with Him and be led out into His peace. Encounter the Lord. Then and only then, will the time cultivate the openness with Him. In worship and time of prayer, we find the given instructions and then we move forward.

Be obedient to Him and His call to move you in a specific place and direction. Feed on His faithfulness and look for the meat of the Word. Find the fresh revelation of His Word. And then walk it out. In His presence there is the fullness of joy. In that future, we may speak as the "unknown" but the destination God knows really well.

Even as the groom and bride must let go of the familiar to embrace their future together, so too, we must allow some things to be removed from our lives. Dare to believe God has you and will keep you safe and secure. Stepping into that place as the believer, we trust no matter what. Surrendering our lives to Jesus, then everything, including our own wills, our own bodies and lives must be on that altar. There self is denied. For us to be anxious about saving any part of our past lives or security will only cause us to lose our spiritual lives.

As the Groom, Jesus is set on keeping us. John 17:9-10 Amplified Bible  9 I am praying for them, I am not praying (requesting) for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they belong to You. 10 Yours belong to Me, and I am glorified in (through) them. [They have done Me honor, in them My glory is achieved.]

Isaiah 61:10-11    KJV

10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

John wrote this in John 3:29-31,33    Amplified Bible   29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the groomsman who stands by and listens to him rejoices greatly and heartily on account of the bridegroom's voice. This then is my pleasure and joy, and it is now complete. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease. [He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so]. 31 He Who comes from heaven is [far] above all [others]; he who comes from the earth belongs to the earth, and talks the language of the earth. [his words are from an earthly standpoint]. He Who comes from heaven is [far] above all others [far superior to all others in prominence and in excellence].

33 Whoever receives His testimony has set his seal of approval to this: God is true. [That man has definitely certified, acknowledged, declared once and for all, and is himself assured that it is divine truth that God cannot lie]. 

Yes, Marriage takes work. It is two people coming together to live as one unit, one mind, one heart and one love. In God. we can have that. And it is in hearing His voice that speaks truth to us, we stay in His presence, His love and safety.

That wedding day, when Christ returns for His Bride, I am certain there will be tears especially sorrow for those who never gave Him a thought.

Oh but for those who think daily on Him and delight to give Him praise, they will be dancing with joy. Come today and see the beauty He holds for you. Come today and abide in His security of love and peace. Come today and see yourself as His Bride and how He will gently keep you and cherish you forever. He will give you only truth of life and a love that is lasting!

John 17:3  Amplified Bible

And this is eternal life: [it means] to know ( to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with and understand) You, the only true and real God and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ ( the Anointed one, the Messiah,) whom You have sent.

The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty [who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by which the souls is refreshed, supported, and strengthened]; and whoever [earnestly] desires to do it, let him come, take appropriate and drink the water of Life without cost. Revelations 22:17  Amplified Bible
