​CAN I COMPEL YOU TO START DIGGING?

GENESIS 26:15

FOR ALL THE WELLS WHICH HIS FATHER’S SERVANTS HAD DIGGED IN THE DAYS OF ABRAHAM HIS FATHER, THE PHILISTINES HAD STOPPED THEM, AND FILLED THEM WITH EARTH.
AND ABIMELECH SAID SAID UNTO ISAAC, GO FROM US; FOR THOU ART MUCH MIGHTIER THAN WE.
AND ISAAC DIGGED AGAIN THE WELLS OF WATER, WHICH THEY HAD DIGGED IN THE DAYS OF ABRAHAM, HIS FATHER; FRO THE PHILISTINES HAD STOPPED THEM AFTER THE DEATH OF ABRAHAM: AND HE CALLED THEIR NAMES AFTER THE NAMES BY WHICH HIS FATHER CALLED THEM.
THE LORD GOD HAD PROMISED ABRAHAM THAT HE WOULD ENLARGE HIS TERRITORY AND THAT HE WOULD MULTIPLY HIS SEED AS SUCH THAT IT COULD NOT BE NUMBERED  FOR IT WAS AS MUCH AS THE SAND OF THE SEA. THE LORD ALSO SAID THROUGH JOHN THE BAPTIST CONCERNING ABRAHAM’S SEED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO RAISE UP STONES UNTO ABRAHAM, THOSE WORDS SPOKEN TO THE ADVERSARY (THE PHARISEES) WHO ATTEMPTED IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY TO STOP THE MOVE OF CHRIST AND HIS WILL TOWARD THE PEOPLE. O’ BUT THANKS BE TO THE MOST HIGH FOR HIS WONDERFUL WORKS THAT HE HAS BESTOWED UPON HIS CHOSEN. HE IS A SPIRIT AND HIS HOLY SPIRIT CANNOT BE CONTAINED! THERE IS NOTHING THAT ANYONE CAN DO TO STOP THE MOVE OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD. HE IS UNSHAKEABLE AND UNMOVEABLE AND EVER ABOUNDING IN HIS WILL.
THERE WERE DAYS WHEN ABRAHAM AND HIS SERVANTS DUG THE WELLS TO SUSTAIN HIS PEOPLE AND THE PHILISTINES A KNOWN ADVERSARY CAME AND STOPPED THEM AND FILLED THEM WITH THE EARTH. THE WORD TELLS US THAT THE PHILISTINES DID THESE THINGS BECAUSE OF ENVY. NONTHELESS, THE LORD’S WORD MUS TCOME TO PASS AND WILL NOT RETURN VOID.
SO ISAAC WENT FORTH AND EVEN HE AND THE SERVANTS WE TOLD TO GO OUT FORM ABIMELECH. YET HE HAD HIS HEART SET TO DIG AGAIN THE WELLS THAT HAD BEEN STABLISHED BY HIS FATHERFOR HIS PEOPLE. WHEN WE BEHOLD THE GLORY OF THE LORD IN THIS ACCOUNT WITH OUR FOREFATHERS AND WE LOOK WITH THE SPIRITUAL EYE WE SEE THAT THERE IS NOTHING THE ADVERSARY CAN DO TO STOP THE FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATERS FROM BURSTING FORTH IN THE LIFE OF HIS SERVANTS. THEY CAN TRY TO STOP IT UP WITH EARTHLY CARES AND WRESTLE AND WRESTLE WITH THE CHOSEN ONES OF GOD, BUT THE LORD STRENGTHENS HIS PEOPLE OVER THE ENEMY.
THEY WENT FROM ONE VALLEY TO ANOTHER AND STOVE WITH THEM THERE. THE WENT TO ANOTHER AND STROVE YET THE MORE. BUT THE SERVANTS KEPT GOING AND KEPT GOING WITH A MISSION TO FULFIL THE PURPOSE OF THEIR CREATOR. THEY COULDN’T BE STOPPED BY ADVERSITY. AFTER DIGGING A THRID TIME, THE STRIVING AND WRESTLING STOPPED AND THE NAME OF THE PLACE MEANT “THE LORD MAKETH ROOM” BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF GOD MAKETH ROOM FOR HIMSELF. AND THEY SPOKE THAT THEY SHALL BE FAITHFUL IN THE LAND. THEY STARTED SPEAKING THE WORD INTO EXISTENCE. WHEN THEY STARTED SPEAKING THE WORD FROM THEIR MOUTHS THE LORD APPEARED THAT SAME NIGHT. THEN THEIR ADVERSARYS SHOWED UP WANTING TO MAKE AN OATH BECAUSE THEY WERE SUBJECT TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD. HIS SPIRIT CANNOT BE STOPPED BUT HIS ENEMIES WILL BE MADE HIS FOOT STOOL.
THEREFORE, I’M PROCLAIMING THAT I AM GOING TO KEEP SEEKING. I’M GOING TO KEEP PRAISING. I’M GOING TO KEEP SINGING. I’M GOING TO KEEP REJOICING. I’M GOIN GTO KEEP SHOUTING THE VICTORY. I’M GOING TO KEEP PRAYING IN THE MIDST OF CIRCUMSTANCE. I’M GOING TO KEEP SPEAKING TO MY SITUATION. I’M GOING TO KEEP SPEAKING THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY ARE. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STOP MY WELL FROM FLOWING. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STOP MY SEEK. THEY AREN’T GOING TO STOP MY PRAISE. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STOP MY PROMISE FROM BURSTING FORTH. MY FAITH WILL MOVE THESE MOUNTAINS. MY FAITH WILL MOVE THE LORD FROM HIS HIDING PLACE. THEY MAY WRESTLE, BUT I’M COMING OUT WITH MY PROMISE!
