The Thirsty Soul

The Vision, when calling out to HIM in despair:
A desert land, dried and cracked. Hard, cracked, dusty, dry ground. A land forsaken of water!
Sprinkles of water, teaspoons of water, even small cups of water, pour out on this dry ground periodically.
It is dried up almost immediately. These small amounts will not quench the thirst of this land.

Is this my soul? My walk with YOU?

HE confirms the interpretation of the Vision: Psalm 143:6
"I have spread out my hands to YOU; My soul is like a thirsty land for YOU." Selah

"As a deer longs for the water streams, so my soul longs for YOU, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the Living God." Psalm 42:1-2

"O God, You are my God; I earnestly seek You; My soul has thirsted for YOU; My flesh has longed for you, in a dry and thirsty land without water" Pslam 63:1

This land is in need of water, the LIVING WATERS of YESHUA (Jesus Christ our Lord)
The vision is of us, His people, when we are not in HIS WORD daily. It is not enough to seek Him occasionally. We must immerse ourselves in Him, and seek Him with all our heart. We must be filled with Him or we will become a dry and thirsty ground unable to bear fruit.
It is only Yeshua who can provide this quenching water for our souls.

The woman at the well engaged in a conversation with Yeshua about drinking of the water, and the water that He has to offer. She questions Him about the water that He possesses, and He says to her, " Everyone drinking of this water ( the water at the well) shall thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water I give him, shall certainly never thirst. And the water that I give him shall become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." The woman said to Him, " Master, give me this water, so that I do not thirst..." John ch. 4

It is Yeshua who is the Living Water. Only HE can quench our thirst and He offers it freely.

"And he who thirsts, come! And he who desires it, take the water of life freely. " Rev. 22:17

It is Yeshua who waters the dry and thirsty land, the dry and thirsty soul. His Words are the waters of life.

Let HIM come down like rain upon the tender grass, like showers, watering the earth. Psalm 72:6
We can see from the above passage that Yeshua is likened to water, and if we allow scripture to interpret scripture, we will see that the grass mentioned here is a reference to people. In Isaiah chapter 40 verses 6-7, he calls the people grass.
" All flesh is grass, and all it's loveliness is like the flower of the field. Grass shall wither, the flower shall fade, when the Spirit of YHWH has blown on it! Truly the people is grass! "

" For as the rains come down, and snow from the heavens, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater, so is My Word that goes forth from MY mouth- it does not return to ME empty, but shall do what I please, and shall certainly accomplish what I sent it for." Is 55:11-12

In the Vision of the Thirsty Soul, a deep well of water is poured out on this dry, cracked ground and as the water hits the earth, the very place where the water touches begins to immediately flourish into lush green grass with vegetation, and flowers springing up into everlasting life. The green of the grass spreads out all around and fills the earth with life, as the dry ground disappears. The ground is thirsty no more. Halleluyah!

Yeshua is this Living Water. He offers His Water to all those who are thirsty.
" If anyone thirsts let him come to ME, and let him who believes in ME drink. As the scripture said, out of HIS innermost shall flow rivers of Living Water. " John 7:37-38
