Some wells in Scripture were places of encounter with God! When Isaac arrived at Beersheba (meaning “well of the oath”), the first thing he did was build an altar.

(Gen 26:18) A well that has been in use before—even when it has been stopped up—can be accessed again. Deep underground, a supply of water continues to exist. Is the Holy Spirit spe...

God created us to worship Him, and He looks to our hearts, to see what is flowing from us. The Shepherd-King in the Song of Songs sees the maiden as, “…a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.”(Song of Songs, 4:15, NKJV) Our hearts and spirits can be wells, where the Holy Spirit resides and flows powerfully from us ...
