COME TO THE WATERS

My Dear Precious Child,
   Jesus Christ was questioned about His authority to do miracles and preach relating to My kingdom coming on earth into the lives of My children,   He was tested by the chief priests and elders of the temple who tested Him about His authority to heal the sick, cast out demons and preach about My kingdom coming on earth. (Matthew 6:10; Matthew 4:23)  He was doing the things that the religious leaders were supposed to be doing according to their religious training but they were ill equipped to do them since they had no spiritual power. (Matthew 21:23-27)
    John the Baptist had earlier preached that people should repent and be baptized by him in water but he said that a greater person would come and baptize the people with the Holy Spirit and fire, referring to Jesus.  When questioned about His authority to do the miracles and teach about My kingdom, Jesus asked the chief priests and elders if John's baptism came from heaven or from man.  They did not know and so Jesus did not tell them on whose authority He performed healings, cast out demons and taught about My kingdom of heaven.
    Jesus Christ directed the truths in a parable to the religious leaders who tested Him.  He told them about a man who had two sons.  The man asked the first boy to go and work in the vineyard and the boy said no, but later decided to go work for his father that day.  So the father went to his second son and asked him to work in the vineyard that day also.  The second son said yes but decided not to go.  Jesus asked the religious leaders, the chief priests and elders, "Who did the will of the father?" The religious leaders replied that the first son was doing the will of the father.
    Jesus told the religious leaders that tax collectors and prostitutes were entering into My kingdom of heaven before the religious leaders would.  He said that John the Baptist came to the religious leaders, John being a pattern of righteousness, but they did not believe him, and yet the tax collectors and prostitutes did.  He said that after seeing the sinners repent and be baptized that the religious leaders still refused to believe in the message of John the Baptist, just like they were still refusing to believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah and refusing to believe the message that Jesus Christ taught about My kingdom coming into the earth to live in My children.
    The same thing happened the day that My kingdom of heaven came into the earth when My children of promise, the followers of Jesus Christ, were in the upper room waiting for My promise to be fulfilled.  There were no chief priests or church elders present, only followers of Jesus Christ. the mother of Jesus, his sisters and his brothers, and later tax collectors, prostitutes and other people considered sinners who were in need of a Savior.
   The nonreligious people came to the waters, as I invited them.  They came to the waters of My Holy Spirit to be healed, to have peace in their lives, to have the power to cast out demons, to become new creatures, to live the Good News that I sent to be preached to them.  When My kingdom of heaven comes into your life, you have everything you ever wanted, peace, joy, love, mercy, and goodness and kindness in your life.
    Continue to come to the Waters as you grow in Christ.  Growth never stops and your thirst becomes more and more satisfied. 
    Your Father of Great Healing Waters
