During my recent mission trip to the Gujarat–Rajasthan border, I was led to one of the most interior tribal villages. The houses were scattered far apart, and each home had its own well.
The family I was staying with took me to see their well. As I looked down, I was shocked. The water level was at its lowest point and was nearly exhausted. Maggots and mosquitoes were breeding in it. Dirt from the surroundings had found its way in. Stones and waste thrown by children lay at the bottom.
And this was their drinking water!

I sat beside that well, and the Lord began to speak to me.
He said:
“This is the condition of many of My children. They are striving to live from past experiences. They are drinking from the waters they received when they first found Me. Since then, many have continued to draw from those old waters. Over time, those waters have become polluted, stagnant, and unfit to drink.”
A heart and mind left unguarded is like a well left uncovered. Dirt enters. Storms fill it with debris. Mosquitoes breed. Slowly, what was once pure becomes polluted.
As I sat there, I examined the condition of my own well.
I prayed until I sensed the fresh, gushing power of the Holy Spirit coming upon me again—filling, refreshing, and overflowing within me.
Only then did I walk into the house to minister to the thirsty people there.
The Lord spoke again:
“This is why I have sent you here—to fill the wells with the water that comes from Jesus. The Holy Spirit will send the rain. He will fill My people again with fresh, living, and holy water.”
“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.”
— John 4:14
My dear brothers and sisters,
How is your well today?
Is it full and overflowing?
Is it clean and pure?
Is it still quenching your thirst?
Or have you been living on yesterday’s water?
May the Lord send fresh rain upon us once again. May every stagnant well be cleansed. May every dry well be filled. And may rivers of living water flow from our innermost being through the power of the Holy Spirit.
