Hello Everyone,

In Nehemiah 3:26 we see the water gate.

Jerusalem was one of the few great cities of old that was not built near a major river. So they had to depend on reservoirs and springs. The water gate was near a very important water source.

Remember water for drinking is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, but water for washing is a symbol of the Word of God.

Psalm 119:9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
Ephesians 5:25-26 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

When we are saved and Jesus washes away our sins it's like an all over bath. The Bible calls it the washing of regeneration.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Salvation is an all over spiritual bath. But after we are saved and begin to live in this world we still need a daily cleansing.

What is the difference between strong tea and weak tea? The amount of time the bag spends in the water!

Need more faith? Don't just pray for faith...

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Spend time in the Word and you will GROW. Your heart will become good, fertile ground when watered by the washing of The Word.

"Forever, O Lord, thy Word is settled in heaven!"

Greater days are yet to come!
