In Genesis 26:32 we find the
story of Isaac re-digging the last well, and the last well
is Shebah. This word Shebah also means “the well of seven, the
well of covenant, and the well that brings abundant satisfaction.” In other
words, that last well that they re-dug and made flow with water again was the
well of covenant with the Lord. Such a well will release the Holy Spirit, the
fullness of the seven-fold flow of Isaiah 11:2. As that Shebah well
begins to flow, we will experience what Jesus promised in John 4:14—fountains of
living water flowing out of us. In Isaiah 12:3, it says, “Therefore with joy
you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” The
word salvation here is translated from the Hebrew
word Yeshua. The center and essence of all of this is only true through
and by our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In John 7:37–38, Jesus said
that we would know rivers of living water because of the fountain, and these
rivers of living water would flow for us. These rivers of living water are found
in Isaiah 11:2; they are the seven-fold flow of the Holy Spirit. Because the
Spirit of the Lord is upon us, the river of God’s wisdom, understanding,
counsel, might, knowledge, and fear of the Lord will flow in us in a mighty way.
We will see literally thousands of believers begin to function in this flow. Not
only will they live in the wonderful sealing of the Holy Spirit, being sealed
with His presence, and the abiding of the presence of the Holy Spirit, being
led, taught, anointed, and gifted by the Holy Spirit, but they will also have
the rivers of the Spirit spring up in them and flow
mightily!
We see this illustrated in
Isaiah 41: The poor and
needy seek water, but there is none, their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord,
will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open rivers
in desolate heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the
wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. I will plant in
the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree, the myrtle and the oil tree; I
will set in the desert the cypress tree and the pine and the box tree together,
that they may see and know, and consider and understand together, that the hand
of the Lord has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it(Isaiah
41:17–20).
People who begin to flow out
of His rivers will see wells of salvation spring up. The lost will be drawn to
the fountain, the same fountain that we have also drunk from, and we can say to
them, “Come, drink from this well.” And as they do, they will experience the
words of Jesus in John 4:14. As they drink from His water, He will put a
fountain within them. Too many believers are only enjoying little buckets of
water. Jesus doesn’t want us to just have a little bit every once in a while. He
invites us to draw deeply from the well of salvation with joy, and He wants the
rivers to flow from within us. He wants us to live fully activated, drawing deep
and moving and flowing and functioning out of all that He supplies to us so that
we will succeed and prosper in the things He’s called us to do. In the land, He
will take our lives and reveal His glory (see Ps. 85:9). When He reveals this,
He will be like a magnet to thousands of people all through the nations, and
thousands upon thousands will be born again.
I’m ready for
meetings where hundreds get born again! I’m ready to see the people we’ve been
praying for come and drink from the river! I’m ready to see the well of
salvation spring up. I’m ready to see people come and drink from the well that
brings abundant satisfaction. I also want to see believers learn how to draw
deeply from the well of Yeshua that brings abundant satisfaction from the river
of His pleasure.
This is the beginning of that
season. According to John 15:5, it’s going to be a fruitful season. It’s going
to be a powerful season. Bearing much fruit, as is described in John 15:5,
doesn’t happen because we do more works. It is the result of increase in His
power. That is what produces the fruit. It’s about getting the supply that
produces the fruit, and that’s what the rivers are. Trees can’t bear fruit
without being watered.
Because of this, I believe
it’s going to be a powerful season of hunger for the revelation of the Word. I
believe this is a season of increase, abundance, and fruitfulness that will
bring harvest for our lives. I believe the well of the seven will flow mightily
in the coming days. I believe this will be a time of recovery of lost
things.
I believe that as we behold
God’s glory, we will also encounter His goodness. And as we encounter His
goodness, He will bring recovery and restoration of things we’ve lost in the
previous season. I believe that as we are going through the gate of a New Year,
a gate of the seven, that God’s going to supply everything we need to live
victoriously. As a result, we will reveal the glory of the Lord, and all the
earth will become full of the knowledge of His goodness and His glory. By the
display of His power in His people’s lives, unbelievers will be provoked to
jealousy, and they’ll begin to call on the name of Jesus
Christ.
I believe there’ll be
literally thousands of believers, even in the next 18 months, who will know new
levels of God’s power and authority and will experience the seven-fold flow of
the Holy Spirit.
