I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray for a restoration of godly values in our country! Spring up o well, Lord!
Reading Time: 4 minutes

While reading a recent article by Dave Kubal, the Lord spoke to my heart, giving me instruction for the Body of Christ and its intercessors. Dave’s article was an encouragement indeed.  In it, he spoke of God restoring the wellsprings of our nation. He described how the Summerhouse, a well and an update to the Capitol grounds in the 1800’s, became a place of refreshment and rest to those visiting. He then shared a Word the Lord gave him…

“I heard that the wellsprings of this nation being drawn upon by godly leaders, in turn restoring freedom and godly values. In the physical or natural realm, we are seeing evidence of what God is doing in the natural (spiritual) realm. He is fixing and restoring and rebuilding those foundational springs that are welling up in our nation. God is restoring the wellsprings of our nation.” (Dave Kubal)

As I read these words, I felt very much like Mary when she visited Elizabeth while they were both with child.  This amazing prophetic promise, about to be birthed, jumped in my spirit.  God immediately spoke to me and said, “Spring up o well!” I quickly grabbed my Bible and turned to the scripture Numbers 21:16-18.

And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water. Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it: The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah.

In the Strong’s Concordance, the word, ‘princes’ talks about leaders, rulers, and those in authority. Even more interesting is the word ‘lawgiver’ which means by decree, or something decreed.

Job 22:28 says, “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.”

This story in the book of Numbers was the first time the children of Israel had sung (which is a form of a decree) since crossing the Red Sea in Exodus 15. Although they sang to the Lord after He destroyed their enemies in the Red Sea, afterwards they forgot His mighty works. And they could do nothing but murmur and complain as they continued their journey through the wilderness.

As we reflect on the story in Numbers, we find when they were again in desperate need, this time for water, their Deliverer once again spoke and brought deliverance. And once again, they began to sing.

Israel, in its entirety, sang to this well, decreeing what God had said to it.  “Spring up, o well!”  They sang based solely on the Word and direction of God.  As they did, the well sprang up and they had plentiful water to drink and in which to water their animals.

How does this apply to the word from Dave Kubal?

God is saying, “I will restore the wellsprings of this nation.”  The wellsprings of our nation are the wells that were established by our leaders and those in authority over our nation – just like the scripture in Numbers 21.  It doesn’t take much to see those wells have been stopped up from the many years of sin, deception, and evil leadership of our nation. But God. He is reestablishing those wells and restoring them back to a place that will provide refreshment and a place to rest for the people of this great land.

This is exciting news. So, what is our part?  What do we do to help establish this promise God has spoken to restore our wells?  I believe the instruction the Lord gave me for the Body of Christ, is the same as we see in Numbers 21. Sing! Sing to the wells! “Spring up o well!!!”

The people of Israel sang to the well before it was dug…before they drank water…before they saw the fulfillment of the promise. We must do the same thing.

Are you ready to once again drink from the wells of freedom, godly values, rest, and refreshment in our nation?  If so, I encourage you today to begin to sing to those wells. Sing!  Sing aloud.  Sing in your heart. Whatever else you do, sing…. Decree to those wells through song… “Spring up o well!” As those wells spring up, may we all drink from the restored wells of freedom, rest, refreshment, and godly values in this wonderful America once again…just as He promised.

In keeping with this word from the Lord, please share your favorite psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit in the comments.

Singing…My country, ’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From ev’ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom’s song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom’s holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King!

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases.
His mercies never come to an end.
They are new every morning, new every morning,
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God,
Great is Thy faithfulness.

70’s praise song comes to mind: “I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me. Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see. Opens prison doors, sets the captive free. I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me. Spring up, oh well, within my soul. Spring up, oh well, and make me whole. Spring up, oh well, and give to me that life abundantly.”

Hi Kim,
When I first read Dave’s article that scriptures from Numbers also came to my mind. I have heard it repeatedly since, even in worship songs. This article is yet another confirmation. I’m ready to dig deep and I’m ready to drink.

I have been listening to and singing along with worship songs by Elevation Worship, Maverick City Music, Passion, and Phil Wickham. It is the only music or listening that causes my heart to rejoice. “All other ground is sinking sand”

My favorite as of late is House of the Lord by Phil Wickham. If this song doesn’t get you fired up then your wood must be wet!

We worship the God who was
We worship the God who is
We worship the God who evermore will be
He opened the prison doors
He parted the raging sea
My God, He holds the victory

There’s joy in the house of the Lord
There’s joy in the house of the Lord today
And we won’t be quiet
We shout out your praise!!

As I read this article.. I remembered the old song.

“Spring Up O Well”
(Paul Wickham)

I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me
Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see,
Opens prison doors, sets the captives free.
I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me

Spring up, o well, within my soul.
Spring up, o well, and make me whole
Spring up, o well, and give to me
That life abundantly.

He Lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today He walks with me and talks with me a long life’s narrow way, He lives, He lives, salvation to impart, you ask me how I know He lives he lives within my heart.

Psalm 34 NKJV
[1] I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
[2] My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
[3] Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.
[4] I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
[5] They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.
[6] This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.
[7] The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
[8] Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
[9] Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.
[10] The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
[11] Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
[12] Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?
[13] Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.
[14] Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. [15] The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.
[16] The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. [17] The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.
[18] The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
[19] Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
[20] He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.
[21] Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
[22] The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.

I’ve got a river of life flowing
Out of me!

Opens captive hearts,
Sets the spirit free!
I”ve got a river of life
Flowing out of me!
Spring up o well-
Within my soul!
Spring up o well-
And make me whole!
Spring up o well
And give to me,
That life ABUNDANTLY!🙌

I am not sure how this relates to the article, but two nights ago the Lord clearly spoke these words about singing into my heart in the middle of the night: “Will you sing a song of praise to Me?” I immediately began singing in my head the chorus to a praise song that came to mind (not wanting to wake my husband by singing out loud at 2 a.m.!). I have tended to recently let problems I am facing loom large in my thoughts, and I believe God was trying to let me see I need to get the focus back on Him. Perhaps this is where my experience connects with the article’s message — the Lord wants us to sing to Him! David certainly left us a good example to follow in many of his psalms of praise through all his ups and downs.

Each year the Lord leads me with a “Word” to guide me in that year. This year’s word is praise. How that coincides with this article touched me and added confirmation. Praise God from whom all blessings flow…

I blew the shofar and declared and decreed that the wells of salvation, justice, righteousness, well-being are opened and flowing across this nation once again. By God’s mercy and grace this is occurring.

Your beautiful Loving name must be honored as well as your love for mankind. We honor you Lord and ask for peace and no wars . May those who lead wars be stripped of their leadership immediately. Too many people are dying for evil reasons. My heart hurts for them and their families. We need you Lord to lead us back to your holy way. Please be with us and bring the well spring of hope back to our nation.

One of my favorite prayer/songs I share with you -” I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me. Makes the lame to walk and the the blind to see. Opens prison doors, sets the captives free. I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me. Spring up, O Well, within, my soul. Spring up, O Well, and make me whole. Spring up, O Well and give to me that life abundantly!” And may that well spring up today in all who love and honor Him who is the Wellspring of life bringing life abundantly and the sanctity of life in abundance to a nation that sorely needs the Wellspring of Life. In Jesus Name

Thank you for sharing this very encouraging exhortation, that God is getting ready to restore our land and bring rest to the people. Many believers around me are weary and discouraged because of the great loss they have experienced. Let us continue to trust God and find hope that He is restoring our land back to His decrees and purposes.
