PURITY IN WATER

PURITY IS IMPORTANT WITH GOD:

1 Timothy 4:12

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

Pure gold was used in the mercy seat and many instruments in the Temple of God:

Exodus 25:17

“And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.”

They didn't use mixed gold but pure gold. Today we have 14k gold which is 14 parts real gold and 10 parts other metals, or expressed as a percentage, 58% gold and 42% other stuff. 18k gold is 75% gold and 25% other junk.

Even the lamps in the Temple were to burn pure oil, and not some diluted or polluted junk:

Leviticus 24:2

“Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.”

If we were the Temple of God, which we really are, how much junk and impurities would or do you contain in your vessels? I wonder, do you drink pure water or is your water disgusting?

1 Corinthians 3:16

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”

My subject today is on pure water. The Bible has much to say about water, but let's look at the one passage that gives us the early Biblical sources for drinking water. The verse actually deals with unfaithfulness but it also gives us the methods that the early Jews or Christians used for getting their source of water:

Proverbs 5:15

“Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.”

Cistern:

"In the earliest times of the Bible, Cisterns were used to store water. They were usually pear shaped, and 15 to 20 feet deep, and the actual opening was only a 2 to 3 feet. There was usually a stone cover.

Cisterns were either large or small, large enough to store water for the community, or small and privately owned. Cisterns were like wells of water."

In ancient Israel the summer months were extremely dry, and during this time people dug and carved out for themselves cisterns out of the solid rock. These cisterns were like man-made reservoirs that would contain large amounts of water from the rain falls. Many times these cisterns would be covered in some way to keep debris away, and also to prevent accidents from happening. Since much of Jerusalem had a soft layer of limestone at the surface, it was convenient for the Israelites living in Jerusalem to carve many cisterns, especially since water was scarce in Jerusalem. In fact Jerusalem had plenty of water even during their long sieges because of the abundance of water. (Bible History.com)

It was very Biblical to drink rain water. Rain water used to be one of the purest forms of water. In the hydrologic cycle, water evaporates from the ocean in the form of water vapor and eventually returns to land and sea in the form of precipitation. I call this hydrologic cycle: the great distiller in the sky. Modern day distillers do the same thing but in smaller quantities.

As rain comes down it picks up pollutants. Radioactive particles are often feared to be in rain water since the radiating dust travels through the jet streams across the world and gets deposited. Since the pollutants are in the air, then they will also be in our drinking water. To be safe and Biblical, it would be better to distill your own water in order to have purest water.

RUNNING WATER WELLS:

Running water wells I believe is referring to Artesian wells. There is the difference between ordinary wells and Artesian. Spring water forced to the surface by elevated sources is artesian wells:

"Deep wells drilled into rock to intersect the water table and reaching far below it are often called artesian wells in ordinary conversation, but this is not necessarily a correct use of the term. Such deep wells may be just like ordinary, shallower wells; great depth alone does not automatically make them artesian wells. The word artesian, properly used, refers to situations where the water is confined under pressure below layers of relatively impermeable rock."

Ancient wells that were fed from underground springs which were moving were called by the ancients, "living waters."

THE COMMON WELL:

I believe most modern wells that tap into groundwater many not the best for drinking. Not all groundwater flows. Some groundwater gets trapped and becomes stagnant. The shallowest wells generally pump up water that originates in your own backyard. Deeper wells may get their water from within a few miles. If your backyard had been contaminated so might your drinking water.

MY RURAL WELL:

In my rural well I use a six month household filter. If I did not filter my water at the point of entry, it would plug up the small filters in my house from my sink to my washer machine. When I change the filter I found that it does stop a lot of sand and rust (steel well casing debris) from coming into the house. However, what passed throught my filter must not have been beneficial for health.

My muscular health started to deteriorate within months. I went from lifting two 35 lbs. weights to 5 lbs. weight in each hand. The pain in my tendons was excruciating. After my arms were disabled, my back and legs started flaring up with pain. It was painful just to get up out of a chair. When I finally prayed about it, God lead me to a video on distilled water. Before I even watched the video, I knew that it must be the water that was causing my ills.

Years of cleaning out my dog's bowl should have given me a hint as to why I needed to purify my water by distilling it. The white scale deposits that clings so tightly to the bowl should have been a warning as to what the water was doing to my body.

However, most experts say that hard water is good for you. I would like to give these so-called experts my hard water residue as an additive to their drinking water since they say it has health benefits.

THE MIRACLES

TENDON PAIN AND STIFFNESS:

Within a week of drinking distilled water, my tendonitis or stiffening of my muscles is subsiding. I am able to get up out of a chair without pain in my back and legs and I am back to lifting heavy weights. The one arm that I had pain for almost a year is completely healed. My right arm and shoulder still has a little pain when I move it sideways. It has been only two weeks and I am seeing results.

SKIN RASH:

This winter I had the worse skin rash. It literally felt like acid was on my skin. Everywhere my skin was hot; I started developing burning, itching skin. In only a few days of drinking distilled water my skin problems are gone.

PURE WATER GIVES BEAUTY:

Annette Larkins is now 74 years old and looks like she is forty. View some of her videos. She is an amazing person. She is a vegan that started drinking distilled water 40 years ago.

Whatever diet you are on, pure distilled water will benefit you. God Bless.
