Which Well are you Drinking From?

Jesse Birkey's picture

The other day I transported a woman to the hospital that was feeling terrible.  She’d been throwing up for days and hadn’t been able to eat or drink hardly anything.

 

On the way to the hospital I began asking her some questions.  She began to tell me all about her problems with alcohol and how she drank half a gallon of vodka every day.  She said that she wanted to get help, to go to a rehab facility. 

 

I was reminded of something in that moment.  I’ve mentioned it before but I think it’s worth mentioning again.  People caught in the web of drugs/alcohol or other addictions aren’t happy with the way they are.  They’re miserable and don’t know how to get out.  Many of them have just accepted the lie that it’s impossible to be free and so they live that way. 

 

I looked at her through the lens of that revelation and was filled with compassion.  I asked her if she wanted to stop drinking and she told me that she did.  I told her that she needed to figure out why she drinks.  What she’s trying to gain from it.

 

She looked up at me and told me that she just wanted to be happy.  She was drinking for the temporary euphoria related to intoxication.  That was happiness for her.  It’s the only way she knew how to get it.  I got to spend the rest of the trip telling her about the only one who could answer the deepest cry of her heart.

 

When I sat down to write today I asked the Lord what He wanted me to write.  He reminded me of this story and showed me a picture of a well.  He showed me that we all go to a well to try and draw out our value and worth. 

 

If the well is Him than we drink and are never thirsty again.  But if they well belongs to the world then we need to continually return because the water only offers a temporary (very short) relief. 

 

We were not created to draw our sense of value, worth, significance etc. from anything in this world.  We were created to have the deepest cry and need of our hearts (the need to be loved) answered by the perfect love of our perfect Father.

 

So the question is then what well are you running too?  Have you drunk from the well of Jesus and found yourself filled or is there an area of your life you haven’t been able to lay down because the associated temporary feelings are too important?  Chances are it’s a little of both.  The living water has filled this part of us but not this other part.

 

The lie is that we need that temporary bliss the world offers so readily.  It validates us, makes us feel worthy and valuable.  That’s why some things are so hard to give up.  The lie is that if we give it up then we are giving up what makes us whole. 

 

But the truth is that we can give it up and not loose anything.  We can give it up and gain!  We gain because we are no longer drinking destruction.  We gain because our reality becomes centered in the truth that we’ve been accepted, valued and loved all along.  We gain because we get to run into the arms of our Perfect Father and feel the warmth of His embrace.  We gain because we walk out of darkness and into light.    

 

We are dearly loved and so favored…YOU are dearly loved and so favored.  Drink from the well of Jesus!

Blessings,

Jesse and Kara Birkey

Have you ever wished you could just sit down and have a long talk with the Lord? Wouldn't it be wonderful to move beyond having a theology that states that God loves you to actually hearing Him whisper words of love into your heart? When you're worried or confused, wouldn't you love to see the situation from His perspective and hear how He wants you to respond? When things don't seem to be going your way and your prayers aren't answered the way you had hoped, wouldn't it be great to hear Him tell you where He is in the midst of it, and what He is working out in your life?

Twelve Weeks to Spiritual Mastery - Group Coaching

A group coaching experience with Mark Virkler

Because I could not find a Spirit-anointed teacher/coach, I spent ten extremely frustrating years seeking to hear God’s voice!!! Suggestions offered did not help me, things like: “You just know that you know. It is a still small voice. He speaks from your heart.” No one could give me the answer I needed which was: Hearing God’s voice is as simple as quieting yourself down, fixing your eyes on Jesus, recognizing His voice as spontaneous, flowing thoughts and writing down His flow as it is coming. Test what you have written after the flow is done, NOT while it is occurring.

Counseled by God

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 146 Pages

Have you ever been defeated by negative emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, inferiority, condemnation or depression? Have you tried to fight them off unsuccessfully? Is there an answer that is deeper than simply trying to mentally reason yourself out of these emotions? Is there a way that Jesus can speak a word of life into the depths of your emotional despair and bring healing on a deep level? Is there a form of Christian counseling that begins and ends with the movement of Christ within your heart, rather than simply with the words of man?
