1 And the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh. And Miriam died there and was buried there.
2 Now there was no water for the congregation. And they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 And the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Would that we had perished when our brothers perished before the Lord!
4 Why have you brought the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we should die here, both we and our cattle?
5 And why have you made us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place? It is no place for grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.”
1 Llegaron los hijos de Israel, toda la congregación, al desierto de Zin, en el mes primero, y acampó el pueblo en Cades; y allí murió María, y allí fue sepultada.
2 Y porque no había agua para la congregación, se juntaron contra Moisés y Aarón.
3 Y habló el pueblo contra Moisés, diciendo: ¡Ojalá hubiéramos muerto cuando perecieron nuestros hermanos delante de Jehová!
4 ¿Por qué hiciste venir la congregación de Jehová a este desierto, para que muramos aquí nosotros y nuestras bestias?
5 ¿Y por qué nos has hecho subir de Egipto, para traernos a este mal lugar? No es lugar de sementera, de higueras, de viñas ni de granadas; ni aun de agua para beber.
37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ ”
39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
37 En el último y gran día de la fiesta, Jesús se puso en pie y alzó la voz, diciendo: Si alguno tiene sed, venga a mí y beba.
38 El que cree en mí, como dice la Escritura, de su interior correrán ríos de agua viva.
39 Esto dijo del Espíritu que habían de recibir los que creyesen en él; pues aún no había venido el Espíritu Santo, porque Jesús no había sido aún glorificado.
The Spirit of GOD is represented or described with:
Wind
Fire
Oil
Water
Water is a representation of the Spirit of GOD!
Jesus tells the Samaritan woman:
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
10 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: Si conocieras el don de Dios, y quién es el que te dice: Dame de beber; tú le pedirías, y él te daría agua viva.
Water is extremely vital to our human bodies.
We can survive for extended periods of time without food
but without water we DIE!
Your Body is 90% water
Saliva - Digestion
Allows the bodys cells to grow, reproduce, survive
Cleanses the body and flushes out toxic waste
Lubricates joints (Coyonturas)
The brain needs it to make hormones, helps neurotransmitters
Regulates body temperature
Shock absorber for brain and spinal cord
Delivers oxygen to the entire body.
Water is an extremely powerful force
When your body is dehydrated things begin to go very wrong
1% thirsty/ reduced concentration
5% Hot, Tired, Decrease performace
10% Delirium/ blurred vision
20% Death
2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
2 Y la tierra estaba desordenada y vacía, y las tinieblas estaban sobre la faz del abismo, y el Espíritu de Dios se movía sobre la faz de las aguas.
Water has factors that no other element on earth has.
It freezes, expands, melts, cracks giant rocks apart, breaks them down into soil.
Water is extremely complex to understand yet extremely vital to our entire existence
Dr Masaru Emoto wrote a book “The hidden messages of water”
“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” - Bruce Lee
Why tell you all this about water
We must understand the symbolism in the Word of GOD!
- The Bible mentions the Wilderness of Zin nine times
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
9 Characteristics of the Fruit of the SPIRIT!
God had taken the people out of slavery, out of Egypt.
For 400 years they found themselves in slavery,
God heard their cry and had taken them out of Slavery, out of captivity
But now for some reason, Find themselves in a DRY PLACE…
With the question in their minds WHAT IS WORSE?
Truth is many prefer slavery over the “Responsibility of Freedom”
“I Rather be a slave, tell me what to do, Be a dictator over me, at least that way I don’t have to take responsibility for my own freedom” ..... WOW!
But they find themselves in a DRY PLACE! Their lives are at stake… Death threatens them.
When the people find themselves in this situation the first thing they do is look for someone to blame!
Take responsibility for your freedom!
They tell Moses “You brought us into this wilderness”
Who brought you into the wilderness? Into a dry land?
We find ourselves in dry land when there is no Flowing of the Spirit of GOD!
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
24 Dios es Espíritu; y los que le adoran, en espíritu y en verdad es necesario que adoren.
Lack of worship drives you into dry land
You can come to church, read the word just to read it, do everything else but if you are not operating in the Spirit of GOD you will find yourself in a Dry Land. with no water
A spiritual Drought
13 for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.
13 Porque dos males ha hecho mi pueblo: me dejaron a mí, fuente de agua viva, y cavaron para sí cisternas, cisternas rotas que no retienen agua.
DAVID: The King, Shepherd, The One Who Killed Goliath: Says
1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
1 Dios, Dios mío eres tú; De madrugada te buscaré; Mi alma tiene sed de ti, mi carne te anhela, En tierra seca y árida donde no hay aguas,
My ENTIRE BEING Longs for you!
A dry place is a place of torment, death,
Enter the Kingdom; Through Water “even” the Spirit!
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
38 Pedro les dijo: Arrepentíos, y bautícese cada uno de vosotros en el nombre de Jesucristo para perdón de los pecados; y recibiréis el don del Espíritu Santo.
36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?”
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”
10 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: Si conocieras el don de Dios, y quién es el que te dice: Dame de beber; tú le pedirías, y él te daría agua viva.
11 La mujer le dijo: Señor, no tienes con qué sacarla, y el pozo es hondo. ¿De dónde, pues, tienes el agua viva?
12 ¿Acaso eres tú mayor que nuestro padre Jacob, que nos dio este pozo, del cual bebieron él, sus hijos y sus ganados?
13 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: Cualquiera que bebiere de esta agua, volverá a tener sed;
14 mas el que bebiere del agua que yo le daré, no tendrá sed jamás; sino que el agua que yo le daré será en él una fuente de agua que salte para vida eterna.
15 La mujer le dijo: Señor, dame esa agua, para que no tenga yo sed, ni venga aquí a sacarla.
3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.
3 Porque yo derramaré aguas sobre el sequedal, y ríos sobre la tierra árida; mi Espíritu derramaré sobre tu generación, y mi bendición sobre tus renuevos;
17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
17 Y el Espíritu y la Esposa dicen: Ven. Y el que oye, diga: Ven. Y el que tiene sed, venga; y el que quiera, tome del agua de la vida gratuitamente.
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
1 Después me mostró un río limpio de agua de vida, resplandeciente como cristal, que salía del trono de Dios y del Cordero.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
1 Jehová es mi pastor; nada me faltará.
2 En lugares de delicados pastos me hará descansar; Junto a aguas de reposo me pastoreará.
3 Confortará mi alma; Me guiará por sendas de justicia por amor de su nombre.
4 Aunque ande en valle de sombra de muerte, No temeré mal alguno, porque tú estarás conmigo; Tu vara y tu cayado me infundirán aliento.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
3 Será como árbol plantado junto a corrientes de aguas, Que da su fruto en su tiempo, Y su hoja no cae; Y todo lo que hace, prosperará.
7 All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again.
7 Los ríos todos van al mar, y el mar no se llena; al lugar de donde los ríos vinieron, allí vuelven para correr de nuevo.
