Strictly by Invitation


Listen Later

So Jesus stands up at a feast in a house and then he extended an invitation

If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink

Timeless invitation to the river of God

The water of life is given freely to anyone who thirsts

Now the world makes us dead to his longing to fill us with himself

So we begin to fill up God's space with things so things become God to us

We miss out on the highest delight, the highest pleasure

So God becomes a chore to us, a slave master

When he wants to be Lord, he wants to be enjoyed

So Jesus calls us to think less and drink more

To surrender your mind and open your heart

Jesus didn't come to the earth because everyone was seeking him and needing him

He came because no one was seeking him And he gave himself so everyone can see him, seek him

And then we can see that he is the desire of the nations

And what he does is that he will make you what you need to be Instead of telling you what to do

He is giving us a new covenant and the new covenant produces new desires

So when everyone is chained to the things of the earth

You fly to heights, you leave from a higher realm

You are bound to first love, your very first love, Jesus

And yet there is this yearning to give yourself to him in prayer

That you don't know how to express with words

Groanings that are beyond words

Oh Lord, I can't even want you without you

Your thirst is your recognition that you need him

And sin is what you do when you are not satisfied with God

When you want something more than what God gives

For he gives himself

Lord, free me from the need to have anything else

I can't even obey you by myself

Working on myself will not work But you work in me both to will and to do of your good pleasure

You have installed your spirit in me

And you give me a new understanding of life

And a new value system

I come to you, oh God, my King

The one who says Come to me If you are thirsty

Now I give you to drink

I come to you So I can abide in you

I refuse to depart So I can be fruitful So I can be fruitful


Friends, remember this

That to seek God means That God has your attention, your affection and your desires

There is a well that never runs dry

You don't have to thirst anymore

Come to me, says Jesus

Have a great day friends!
