I was watching this as a nature documentary about lake Eyre, then the living water and the Samaritan story came up. Love from India to all our brothers and sisters in Christ.
I was also astonished when he started talking about "Living water". But when I listened, I became very blessed and started praying for my adult children that they must accept Jesus as their savior.
Thought you Gary for your wonderful videos and honouring our Lord.with scripture and so wonderful as I am an adventurous person so enjoy seeing locations in Australia and other parts of the world with historic events and people. ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
There’s no such thing as ‘God bothering’, unless of course you’re doing something sinful which bothers God greatly. There’s no way Gary Kent’s lovely study linking Jesus, the source of living water with Lake Eyre is ‘God bothering’. I met Jesus 28 years ago when close to suicide and He changed my life tremendously, delivering me from long-standing anxiety and depression, which have never recurred. I’m so glad that I bothered to pray before I topped myself, asking God (if he was real) to reveal Himself to me. I’m so glad that God doesn’t find that kind of earnest seeking and praying as ‘God bothering’. No, in point of fact, he loves to hear such prayers and is only too willing to answer them, and do the amazing transformative things only He can do. I’d highly recommend you take the trouble yourself, you’ll find He’s no ‘imaginary friend’ as many seem to think. Shalom.
@@tomobrien5795 Funny how Aboriginals had their own myths and creation stories, just like every other group of people around the world. They are all myths. No matter which area they come from. We are story tellers, and every part of the world created their own.
@@danielthunder9876 Aborigines may have had their myths, and yes, every nation has its legends, myths and stories, but to conflate such myths with the historical Jesus is to lose touch with reality. The FACT of Jesus’ life is not just a Christian construct; it was attested to by Josephus and several other secular historians. Moreover, the Romans were experts at crucifixion, as anyone who has seen the film Spartacus could attest to. The New Testament records (1 Corinthians 15:6) that over 500 people witnessed first hand, a resurrected man whom many of them had seen being crucified a few days earlier. Furthermore, many of those disciples were prepared to be tortured and killed rather than deny their Lord, whom they KNEW, based on their experience of that resurrection, to be God in human form. So, no myth there; or as CS Lewis put it: “the difference with this myth is.....IT’S TRUE. On a totally different front, the truth of the Bible is established simply by looking at the Jews and their history. God, having delivered them from captivity in Egypt, and placing them in the Promised Land of Israel, also strongly warned them through Moses, Joshua and his later prophets that they would be blessed if they obeyed His commandments, but that they would be scattered like confetti all over the world if they disobeyed. God further promised that if such a scattering took place, eventually He WOULD RESTORE them back to their own land, with their own pure language and the nation being re-birthed ‘in one day’. He also promised that he would bring Jews from the 4 corners of the earth back into the land, and that they would prosper there. Well if you look at their history, that is exactly what happened, just as the Bible predicted. The term ‘wandering Jew’ is well-known, but in 1948, Israel was reborn in 1 day, on 14th May. Jews have returned to Israel from Ukraine, all parts of the former Soviet Union, India, Africa, the US, and many other countries, so much so that today there are 108 different nations represented in the modern state of Israel. They have indeed prospered and are currently the 8th most prosperous nation on the planet. So, on this single Biblical prophecy alone (and there are many hundreds), the chances of it being fulfilled by just blind chance alone are astronomically small. Finally, the testimonies of huge numbers of believers in Jesus in every culture around the world is like mine: ‘once I was blind, but now I see’. Jesus really is who He said He was, and He offers that living water to all who will seek Him in sincerity. No myth there, just hard, solid truth. You see, as CS Lewis once again stated, you really only have 3 choices with Jesus: you either regard him as a LUNATIC, on a par with someone who thinks he’s a poached egg; or you regard him as a LIAR, because He made outrageous claims as regards His identity, or you accept Him as LORD. Since many current events, including the pandemic point to his imminent return, my advice would be to choose option 3 🤗🙏😇. Shalom. PS The Incredible Journey is a fascinating series, and it’s marvellous how Gary Kent always manages to weave the life-changing message of Jesus into its fabric.
@@tomobrien5795 Having historical references of a religious figure is not at all unique. There is evidence that Muhammad existed, as with Buddha. Hell, we have video interviews with L. Ron Hubbard. In contrast, we have mountains of hard evidence that our species has existed for tens of thousands of years, and that we evolved into what we are now, with mountains of bones unearthed of the multiple stages of that evolution. All the way back to Homo erectus 1.8m years ago. In addition we have our own DNA which links us to the evolution of the rest of the species on this planet. Chimpanzees, our close cousins, are 98.6% the same genetically to us. You can even see our behavior in them. You can even see evolution in action, right now. The coronavirus has mutated 3 times at least in the last year, that is evolution. If you are claiming this virus is some sort of end of days, look at what has happened in the last 100 years compared to what is happening now. This in the context of recent history is nothing.
Thank you for this beautiful presentation , it's a blessing to hear the reflection with the word of God ! May the Lord continue to bless Brother Kent and his team !
Can it not be about both? As Pastor Kent has beautifully shown, there’s a very close link between the physical life water brings to everything in nature, to the spiritual life Jesus brings to all who receive His ‘living water’. You should seek Him for yourself, then you could prove the reality of the testimonies of multiplied thousands of contemporary Christians who have proven the truth of Jesus’ statements and invitations.
@@jeffreysyswerda6634 I was an atheist for the first 20 years of my life, so I totally get where you’re coming from. Then one day I was contemplating life, and found myself in awe of how finely tuned the conditions on our planet are for supporting life. There’s a documentary called ‘The Privileged Planet’ that explores this topic in detail. It’s well worth watching, if you’re interested in astronomy. Anyway, long story short, it occurred to me that life must truly be a gift, and every gift logically has a giver. That day I became a theist, and thus began what can only be described as an incredible journey of discovery, seeking to know and ultimately to have a close relationship with the infinite God of the universe. For me and many others, spending time with God feels like breathing oxygen rich air when you’ve been in a stuffy room for hours. If you’ve ever slept in an enclosed space like a car, with the windows closed to keep the mozzies out, then you’ll know what I mean. That first breath of oxygen rich air is like an amazing rush of pure life that fills you deeply. I experienced the ‘high’ from quite a few different recreational drugs in my teen years, and I can tell you that nothing even comes close to the pure spiritual high of communing with God, both in the beautiful surroundings of nature and diving into His Word. To deeply experience the message of the Bible feels like oxygen to the soul, or like drinking a glass of cool rain water on a hot, dry summers day in remote South Australia where I live. I hope you will one day get over whatever sentiments brought you to write your brief comment above, and experience what I’m describing for yourself. I truly wish you well on your own journey.
🌴🙌🏼💦💃🌿✨🥰🎉the best .....Thank you so much all the way from Palm Springs California and born in Havana Cuba how about that God is good all possible ways he is so good to us thank you so much for this beautiful powerful teachings
Think about that, to dig a 600 or 700 km carnal from Port Augusta to Lake Eyre through the existing river beds, and the river landscape in average is 28 to 32 meters above sea level. Once done, the Lake Eyre can be a permanent lake. How does it sound like ?
Actually awful that they have free range cattle that eat up the remaining vegetation on this dry continent. Couldn't do much worse for the habitat and environment really. Hope it gets outlawed some day
I was watching this as a nature documentary about lake Eyre, then the living water and the Samaritan story came up. Love from India to all our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Thank you for incorporating God's Word in every journey.
May God be glorified
Very good video, it was great to learn about some more of my country... up until around 18 mins
I was also astonished when he started talking about "Living water". But when I listened, I became very blessed and started praying for my adult children that they must accept Jesus as their savior.
I hope Lake Eyre is always abundunt in water. A lake that never dries...
Incredible.
Love all the journey I have not travelled much these journeys helps me to see historical places around the world .God bless the team
How did I miss this one! Well I'm just glad I found it LOL
Thought you Gary for your wonderful videos and honouring our Lord.with scripture and so wonderful as I am an adventurous person so enjoy seeing locations in Australia and other parts of the world with historic events and people. ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦

I really really enjoyed this story. It was very comforting.
It was interesting to learn about Lake Eyre.
Thank you for watching, Roger :) God bless!
Thank you for this beautiful presentation , it's a blessing to hear the reflection with the word of God ! May the Lord continue to bless Brother Kent and his team !
Thank you for this message. God bless you and the team from The Incredible Journey
I thought the show was about the outback of Australia, not the bible
Yes, thankfully this is a Christian program :-)

Why would a mere mortal not desire thirst? If only for the relief a drink provides. Get a grip, suffering is needed for joy.
Any relation to Nicole Kidman?
Actually awful that they have free range cattle that eat up the remaining vegetation on this dry continent. Couldn't do much worse for the habitat and environment really. Hope it gets outlawed some day

Hello Chris, this is a Christian channel. Have a blessed day ahead :)
Weird to bring Religion into a documentary about australian landscapes and aboriginal lands. Creepy.
