THE PITCHER PUMP
My husband and have been led by the Lord to prepare for hard times ahead. We have shared what the Lord has shown us with those that have been in our ministry along with those that follow us through our daily teachings. It is a good idea to do like some of the cults do and store up enough food to last a year. Sometimes the wisdom of the world is greater than the wisdom of those in the church.
One of the things that is a necessity beyond just food is to have water. You can live a while without food, but you cannot live long without water. When a person refuses water, it indicates that they are ready to meet their maker.
I have lived where our power went off, we had no access to water. Fortunately, I had a neighbor that was on city water, and she ran a hose to our home until the power was restored. In the event of severe weather most cities have back up plans, but how long a generator can pump water if all power is off would be debatable, so we decided to get what is known as a “pitcher pump.” It attaches to an existing well, and if the power is off, you can hand pump water. We believe it will help in the times that are coming.
When a pitcher pump is being used, you crank the handle up and down to get the water out, but it works better if it is “primed.” You prime the pump by pouring a little water into it.
This reminds me of what Jesus said to the disciples in John 7:37-39 where He said, “…If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified).”
Jesus was telling them that out of them would flow “living water.” This living water came at Pentecost. It flowed out of the disciples when they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke with other tongues. Yet, there had to be a “priming” before that happened. In John 20:22 Jesus appeared where the disciples were at and “breathed” on them. This is where they were saved. He said, in verse 22, “…. Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” This was the priming of what would flow out later at Pentecost.
All mankind needs that priming to be saved. No one can be saved without the Holy Ghost drawing them to God. When salvation comes, they have the Holy Spirit within them, just like there is water in a well, but it doesn’t get poured out until the infilling (priming) comes. That is where the rivers of water come from. They come from the inner man, the spirit of man, which has been regenerated by Holy Spirit.
Is your well primed? Do you spend time praying in tongues and keeping that well flowing? If not, then you should ask God to Baptize you with the Holy Spirit so that out of your belly will flow living waters, giving you the power to be a witness for Jesus (Acts 1:8).
