Pastor Deborah
We have the kingdom of God within us. You cannot imagine how powerful this is.
Genesis 26:12
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
GENESIS 26:13 NKJV
The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;
GENESIS 26:13 CEB
ISAAC (LAUGHTER) GREW RICHER and RICHER until he was EXTREMELY WEALTHY.
GENESIS 26:14 KJV
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
GENESIS 26:15 CEB
The Philistines closed up and filled with dirt all of the WELLS that his father’s servants had dug during his father Abraham’s lifetime.
GENESIS 26:16 CEB
Abimelech said to Isaac, “MOVE AWAY from us because you have become too powerful among us.”
GENESIS 26:17 CEB
So ISAAC (LAUGHTER) MOVED AWAY from there, camped in the valley of GERAR, and lived there.
GENESIS 26:18 CEB
Isaac dug out again the WELLS that were dug during the lifetime of his father Abraham.
The Philistines had closed them up after Abraham’s death.
Isaac gave them the same names his father had given them.
GENESIS 26:19 KJV
And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a WELL of SPRINGING water. (or a SPRING-FED WELL)
Water means life.
They need to dig a well, where water can flow.
GENESIS 26:20 CEV
But the SHEPHERDS of Gerar Valley QUARRELLED (argued) WITH Isaac's SHEPHERDS and claimed the water belonged to them. (“This is our water.”)
GENESIS 26:21 CEV
They dug ANOTHER WELL and ARGUED about it too, so he named it SITNAH. (strife, accusation, jealous, enmity)
GENESIS 26:22 AMP
He (Isaac laughter) MOVED AWAY from THERE and dug ANOTHER WELL, and they DID NOT QUARREL over that one;
so he (Isaac laughter) named it REHOBOTH (OPEN SPACE, broad places), SAYING,
“For NOW the LORD has MADE ROOM for us, and we SHALL BE PROSPEROUS in the land.”
Isaac is a man of peace.
He saw something which today the believers don't see.
He can see how God is bigger than what they were fighting over.
The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy.
Leave God to His job.
When there is strife, Isaac (laughter) moved away.
Now the Lord has made room for us.
If God bless them, He can bless you.
He can make the space for you. As long as you are peaceful.
If people make war with you, say bye to them.
He knows the Lord will prosper him.
GENESIS 26:22 NLT
Abandoning that one, Isaac (laughter) MOVED ON and dug another well.
This time there was no dispute (DID NOT QUARREL (argue) over it,
so Isaac named the place Rehoboth (which means “OPEN SPACE”, Room),
for he said, “At last THE LORD has created ENOUGH SPACE for us to PROSPER (Fruitful, flourish, fertile, grow, increase) in this land.”
Whoever preach the gospel, praise the Lord that the gospel is preached.
This land ia a place where there is no strife.
We are God's children and He wants to prosper us.
There is plenty of room and space to grow. This is really freedom.
GENESIS 26:22 CEV
Finally, they dug one more well.
There was NO QUARRELING this time, and the WELL was named “LOTS of ROOM,”
because the LORD had GIVEN THEM ROOM and would MAKE THEM very successful.
GENESIS 26:23-24 CEB
Then he went up from Gerar to BEERSHEBA.
The LORD appeared to ISAAC (LAUGHTER) that night and said, “I AM the GOD of your father Abraham.
Don’t be afraid because I AM WITH YOU.
I WILL BLESS YOU, and I will GIVE YOU many children for my servant Abraham’s sake.”
In the spiritual, God can give you spiritual children.
Know who our God is. He has plenty of children.
GENESIS 26:25 KJV
And HE (ISAAC) (LAUGHTER)
BUILT an ALTAR THERE, and
CALLED upon the NAME of the LORD,
and PITCHED his TENT THERE:
and THERE Isaac's servants DIGGED a WELL.
Altar means a place of worship.
Our hearts is the altar.
Altar means sacrifice.
Live at the place where you can live in peace.
God will bless.
GENESIS 26:26-27 NKJV
Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phichol the commander of his army.
And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?”
GENESIS 26:28-29 NKJV
But they said, “We have CERTAINLY SEEN that the LORD is WITH you. So we said, ‘Let there now be an OATH between us, between you and us; and let us make a COVENANT with you,
that you will do us no harm, since we have not touched you, and since we have done nothing to you but good and have sent you away in PEACE. YOU (LAUGHTER) are NOW the BLESSED of the LORD.’ ”
You laugh it off when the enemy is making you angry.
Joyful people celebrate.
GENESIS 26:30 CEB
ISAAC (LAUGHTER) prepared a banquet for them, and they ate and drank.
GENESIS 26:31 CEB
They got up early in the morning, and they gave each other their WORD. ISAAC (LAUGHTER) sent them off, and they left PEACEFULLY.
The enemy will have peace with God.
GENESIS 26:32 CEB
That day ISAAC's (LAUGHTER's) servants informed him about the WELL that they had been digging and said to him, “We found WATER .”
GENESIS 26:33 CEB
He called it SHIBAH; therefore, the city’s name has been BEER-SHEBA until today.
shib‛âh שׁבעה
Phonetic: shib-aw'
Shebah = "an oath"

near Beersheba
2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 EASY
CHRIST SAYS ‘YES ’ to ALL of GOD'S PROMISES, so that they become true. So when we pray, we SAY ‘YES, AMEN !,’
because we KNOW that CHRIST HAS DONE it. And when we do that, we are SAYING that GOD IS GREAT.
JOHN 4:5 TPT
Jesus arrived at the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
JOHN 4:6-8 TPT
Wearied by his long journey, he sat on the edge of Jacob’s WELL, and sent his disciples into the village to buy food, for it was already afternoon. Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
Nothing satisfies me except You.
JOHN 4:9-10 TPT
She replied, “Why would a Jewish man ask a Samaritan woman for a drink of water?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
Jesus replied, “If you only knew WHO I AM and the GIFT that GOD WANTS to GIVE YOU, you’d ask me for a drink, and I would give you LIVING WATER. ”
The two lives. Physical and spiritual life.
JOHN 4:11 TPT
The woman replied, “But sir, you don’t even have a bucket, and the well is very deep.
So where do you find this ‘LIVING WATER’?
JOHN 4:12 TPT
Do you really think that you are greater than our ancestor Jacob who dug this WELL and drank from it himself, along with his children and livestock?”
JOHN 4:13-14 TPT
Jesus answered, “If you drink from Jacob’s well, you’ll be thirsty again, but if anyone drinks the LIVING WATER I give them, they will NEVER be thirsty again.
For when you DRINK the water I give you, it becomes a GUSHING FOUNTAIN of the HOLY SPIRIT, flooding you with ENDLESS LIFE!”
3 JOHN 1:2 TPT

PSALMS 126:1-2 EASY
WHEN the LORD TURNED US ROUND, so that we ENJOYED a GOOD LIFE in Zion again, we thought that we were dreaming!
At that time, we LAUGHED a LOT.
We shouted because we were so happy!
People in other countries said to each other, ‘The Lord has done great things for them!’
In Christ we are totally free!
Bondage all gone. No more a slave to sin.
People laugh because they are happy.

WHEN the LORD CHANGED Zion’s CIRCUMSTANCES for the BETTER, it was like we had been dreaming.

JOHN 7:37-39 CEV
On the last and most important day of the festival, JESUS stood up and shouted, “If you are thirsty, COME to ME and DRINK!
Have faith in me, and you will have LIFE-GIVING water FLOWING from DEEP INSIDE YOU, just as the Scriptures say.”
Jesus was talking about the HOLY SPIRIT, who would be given to everyone that had faith in him.
