Rivers of Living Water.
The life of God within you is flowing through you.
The rivers of living water.
The life of God within you flowing through you.
Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”
He who believes in Me – and in the scriptures He said, “Out of his heart, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” So the source, God is the source. Jesus is the life. The Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is the river of that life.
The believer, look at this – The believer is the vessel. We outflow and reach others.
The progression is this. God invites us to come and drink. We believe in Jesus. The Holy Spirit comes to live in us. God’s life becomes an inward fountain. The fountain becomes rivers. Rivers flow outward.
Where the river flows – look at this – Life appears.
The Holy Spirit makes life a living reality within.
Jesus was cleansed. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit whom those believe in Him will receive.
For the Holy Spirit was not yet given – because Jesus had not yet ordered it. The place, Jesus said, is out of the heart. This is not merely outward religion. It is inward life.
God’s spirit dwells within and His life flows outward from us.
Why rivers plural? It speaks of abundance. Speaks of overflow. It speaks of many expressions of one life.
God’s life is not a trickle. It’s an overflowing.
So out of the heart will flow rivers of living water. Where the rivers flow, life appears.
Oh, I just love it – in a river flow, life appears – there is joy, peace, healing, faith, love, wisdom, mercy, grace, power.
One source with many rivers.
Darkness encounters light. So where the river flows, life appears.
Darkness encounters love.
Fear encounters peace.
Condemnation encounters righteousness.
Hopelessness encounters hope.
Bondage encounters freedom.
Brokenness encounters restoration.
Death encounters life.
That’s Ezekiel 47:9. Everything will live.
Look, everything will live where the river goes. You are God’s temple.
Do we not know that you’re the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells. in 1 Corinthians 3:16, not just the building, God’s spirit dwells in the his people.
The purpose to reveal Christ to bring Glory to the Father to bless others to advance the kingdom of God and to manifest God’s life on earth.
The river is alive because the source is alive.
Drink, receive, abide and flow.
Amen and amen.
