Isaac's Well

Here we see Isaac unblock the wells of Abraham. We see Isaac take possession of generational blessing. The covenant was passed down. But just possessing the promise was not enough. The wells of blessing were blocked by the enemy. Isaac had to unblock them.

How much more in our day?

How many wells have been blocked to us?

Has the "ministry" well ceased to flow in the anointing because the "enemy" threw stones of unbelief, offense, ill health, depression were thrown into our "well"?

Has the "financial" well ceased giving because the enemy threw poverty and mammon into our well? We cease sowing because our lives no longer experience 1) the joy of giving 2) generosity of giving 3) faith in giving. All this brings us into financial ruin.

This is important to note, because giving is a big area.

I believe that many times in our ministry the enemy comes to CONTEND against our blessing. Sometimes our brothers and sisters bring HATRED because of jealousy.

Contention

So what are they contending? They want a share of what they were not ordained for. Sanballat wanted to share in Nehemiah's work. Nehemiah saw into his heart and saw greed, pride, idolatry. And this disqualified. How much more here. But instead of hanging onto that well Isaac went to dig again. How apt. How many hang onto former blessings, stay in churches when all they had in spiritual ministry and gifting was cut away from them. Isaac had the courage to STEP away and let them take possession. Why should he strive over one well, when his Covenant with God is greater than a mere well. His covenant flows down to us today almost 5000 years on!!!!!

It is time to step away from spiritual death! It is time to step away from fellowshipping in contention.

Hatred

When the enemy saw Isaac dig and find water again, a prosperous well, they came and strove for it. They hated his success! What envy can do!!! So when we are successful how many knife us in the back. But what was Isaac's attitude? He stepped away, went elsewhere. Jesus says we must wipe, shake off the dust!!

God made room and gave rest

This time the Lord gave Isaac a well and gave him rest. The Lord made the enemy stay far away! I believe we have come to that time. Let us call for God's rest. Let us call for His well of fellowship and rest!!! Amen?

Revelation 1 gives us an insight into this reality. When you consider the persecutions of the first apostles you see that what is happening today is not so developed in a concerted effort to persecute the Church, I think we are on the threshold of an end time persecution which shall fill the "cup of iniquity" of the whole world. This shall be pivotal for the end. This series which I started just after the new year has the motivation of preparing the saints for what is coming. What is coming can only be walked through when we are duly prepared in the Word and the Spirit.
Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Matthew 11:2 This chapter is so interesting when you examine the processes that John the Baptist was going through in prison, when he sent messengers to Jesus. This question in the title of this message means something has changed with John in his perception of Jesus, and his expectation of the Messiah. When you research how John recognizes Jesus, as the Messiah you have to go to John 1, to see what God said and revealed to him in the wilderness.
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Isaiah 40:3 KJV The call of John into the wilderness is a demarcation in forsaking family duty, what is expected and what the Law determines. John is the son of a priest. As sons, it is predetermined that they follow the course. The Scripture in Isaiah 40 represents some unheard of movement of the Lord. It represents an apparent break with conformity for the objective of bringing about the greatest prophetic task ever undertaken until Jesus.
