Mark 9:41 “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.”Liquid water is the foundation of life on Earth; one of the essential elements necessary for the existence of life. This is a universal fact known by all scientists … no water; no life. 70.8% on our planet is covered by water, which only 3% is fresh water that is mostly in ice and water vapor. To get a good prospective, just look at a globe, with Asia on the far left and the Americas on the far right, and get a good prospective of this. I was never taught these facts though school, church or television, and that is disturbing to me because is one of the truths that points our Creator that Romans 1:18-23 declaimed, and fuels the God-rejecting myth of humanistic macro-evolution (the theory taught as fact) that is indoctrinating the minds of people today. Science literally means knowledge. Do not blindly believe the twisted lies of unbelievers bent on, not proving the origin of life, but proving the non-existence of Creator God, who will judge and condemn them for their sin and unbelief. Believe the holy Word of God and check the scientific research of Christian Creation research scientist for truth. In the DVD movie & book “the Privileged Planet”, where I first heard about the Anthropic principle, which is the research by scientist into everything that must be present for the existence and sustaining of life on Earth. The odds of the Earth being created by anything except God being astronomically beyond possibility – that it is apparent that man was not made for the Earth, but the Earth was made for man. It’s ridiculous to waste time & money seeking life on Mars or any other planets light-years away. We need to concentrate on doing what our Creator instructs us to. Seek God.
Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.” Psalm 97:6 “The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory.”
In the greatest commandment which all the Law and the Prophets hang on: loving God and loving others, we need to realize and act upon the water problems that this world is experiencing today. Potable water is water pure enough to be consumed or used with low risk of immediate or long term harm. We need to raise public awareness about what many believe to be the world’s most serious health issue—unsafe and inadequate water supplies—and to promote the conservation and development of global water resources. More than a billion people—almost one-fifth of the world’s population—lack access to safe drinking water, and 40 percent lack access to basic sanitation. Cholera epidemics due to impure water have broke out in Africa and Haiti. There is a global “life & death” water crisis that how many of us are aware of in America? The world? Seen anything on CNN, FOXNEWS, MSNBC, 60 Minutes, Talk Shows, et cetera? Where is the focus?
Matthew 25:31-40 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy[a]angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
I saw a sign in the California “Central Valley” farm country that said: “Where water flows, life grows”. Not just crop life, but all life. There are many Christian non-profit humanitarian organizations that are digging wells, providing water filtration devices and decontaminating plans to bring clean, safe water to save lives where needed in the world. Praise the Lord! I personally support Campus Crusade for Christ’s “Gain & Zimbabwe Water Project”, but there is other great groups as http://www.charitywater.org www.globalwater.org , www.cleanwater.org, http://water.org, www.blueplanetnetwork.org, www.mwawater.org, www.thewaterproject.org and more on the worldwide web that anyone check into for knowledge on the global problem, communicating crisis and need to others, and see a means to help if you can and so desire. There are ministry needs of mind, body and soul everywhere you look. But we must remember the words of our Lord Jesus in Matthew 16:25-26 “If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?” Not only must we bring immediate life-giving water where needed, but bring the eternal life-giving gospel of Jesus Christ unto salvation that producing “living water” that satisfies the soul.
John 4:7-14 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?” Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
Thank you Father God for Your rain that brings life-giving water and Your Reign that brings a life worth living, now and ever-lasting. Do you have a drink of water that you can spare? In Christ, Brian
Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say, "Come!" Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

Hi Brian,
I agree with you that our fresh water will be a rare and expensive commodity. I received an email from I think it was John Paul Jackson. He was describing a vision he had of the water system in Western Canada being poisoned by, it was either volcanic ash or from this huge earth quake that is supposed to rock, split and demolish California. How true this is? I don't know. But God does tell us that most of our water will be no good for drinking.
The Living Water from God, we all need this and I have been really feeling the pull of the Holy Spirit to be spreading the Gospel even more than I am now.
Thanks for sharing this, great post!
