Proverbs 5:15
“Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.”
—Proverbs 5:15 (KJV)
This proverb is one of the deepest metaphors of spiritual independence, divine indwelling, and the inner fountain of wisdom. It teaches the child of God that wisdom must be internal, not borrowed; cultivated, not copied; drawn from within, not siphoned from others.
The Father says:
“Drink waters out of thine own cistern…”
Your cistern.
Your supply.
Your source.
Your spirit.
Your relationship with God.
Your personal wellspring of truth.
For if a man is to be wise,
he must become wise for himself.
Wisdom cannot be outsourced.
Understanding cannot be borrowed.
Truth cannot be downloaded from another’s soul.
A man must build, fill, and draw from his own cistern.
This is the spiritual equivalent of growing his own tree of knowledge, his own vineyard of understanding.
Then the Father continues:
“…and running waters out of thine own well.”
A well is deeper than a cistern.
A cistern collects water—
but a well produces it.
A cistern stores truth—
but a well generates it.
A cistern receives—
but a well flows.
This is the deeper layer:
the well is the spirit of man awakened by God.
Jesus echoed this proverb when He said:
“He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
—John 7:38 (KJV)
This is not water from another man’s belly,
not revelation borrowed from another soul,
not insight purchased second-hand—
but your own river,
your own living water,
your own inner fountain fed by the Holy Spirit.
The same truth appears in His promise:
“I am the bread of life:
he that cometh to me shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”
—John 6:35 (KJV)
Never thirst—because the well becomes internal.
Never hunger—because the bread becomes internal.
Never lost—because the truth becomes internal.
Thus Proverbs 5:15 is a prophetic foundation of Christ’s teachings:
You must learn to receive directly from God,
draw directly from the Spirit,
drink directly from the well within you.
A man who relies on another’s wisdom does not yet know his own well.
A man who relies on another’s spirit has not yet discovered the Spirit within.
A man who relies on another’s revelation has not yet met the God who speaks in the secret place.
For if God is with you, and in you,
then your well is filled by His Spirit.
You rely on God through yourself,
not on God through another man,
and certainly not on other men or women by extension.
Christ did not come to make intermediaries—
He came to make sons.
Sons who drink from their own well.
Sons who draw water from the depths of the Spirit.
Sons who know the truth for themselves.
“And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.”
—John 8:32 (KJV)
Free from dependence.
Free from spiritual poverty.
Free from false teachers.
Free from second-hand religion.
Free from leaning on others to hear God for you.
This is why the Father says:
Drink from your own cistern.
Draw from your own well.
For the righteous must become fountains.
And the deeper this proverb is understood,
the clearer it becomes that God’s intention is not for you to live off borrowed water,
but to become a spring of living water yourself.
Here a little, there a little:
The wisdom of Solomon and the words of Yeshua align perfectly—
that the Kingdom is within you,
that the Spirit flows from within you,
and that the well of truth lies in the heart of every son who keeps his commandments.
