A Revelation

"The Knife & The Lemon" PT.2

THE LEMONADE

Part 2 of this amazing revelation will completely change your life. After sharing my first revelation of "The Knife & The Lemon" I received in morning prayer, one of my friends who read it received yet another revelation. I would love to share what the Holy Spirit spoke to his life and mine as well. 

If you notice when the juice inside of the lemon gets sqeezed out it's sour. Now ofcourse we all know that "in the moment" sin may seem a bit satisfying (to the flesh) but in the end its SOUR. Let's check out what the first part of Romans 6:23.

For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 (NIV)

Sin is so SOUR that it will ultimately bring DEATH physically and spiritually.

Now why is this post called the lemonade? Keep reading! Lets check out the second part of Romans 6:23.

but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 (NIV) 

The gift of eternal life is the SWEETEST thing I've ever encountered in my life. I mean it is the greatest news a sinner can receive. It is like a dying cancer patient receiving news that he/she no longer has cancer and will live!

So by now you might of guessed. I'm making a lemonade out of all of this. Now that we have the lemon juice and sugar we need the pitcher and some water. The pitcher represents your life. God has a calling for your life. You are the one that decides what goes in the pitcher.

Last but not least the water. The bible says Jesus gives us the water. If we receive the water he gives us we will never thirst.

but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. John 4:14 (NIV)

Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, 'Rivers of living water will flow from his heart. John 7:38 (NLT) 

In our pitcher we need water. We need Jesus daily! We need to fill our lives with God. In John 4:14 it says the water we receive from him will well up to eternal life. THIS HAS TO BE OUR DAILY DESIRE. Living a life that will be rewarded with eternal life. Yes Jesus saved us on the cross when he died for our sins and resurrected on the 3rd day. But our salvation CAN be lost. We have to fill our lives daily with God. Believe me there is NO BETTER THING! Our life can be so much better by just living a life pleasing God. I have experienced this myself.

In the end what we have prepared is a delicious lemonade on a HOT day. 

God will turn your past of sin (the sour) into a testimony when the gospel and salvation come into your ears and heart (the sugar). When your life (the pitcher) is full of God (the water) a lemonade will be ready to serve.
