“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
We have experienced a drought in the land and now the landscape changes.
No longer just water holes that have to be found but gushing rivers of life to sustain a new generation of life.
“I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.”
Water will stagnate where it stands still but will spring forth in abundant life where it flows and moves. God’s presence becomes so great it overflows and gushes from the whole body and He becomes visible where in the past season He has remained hidden.
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
We have to get the mindset that God will flow through us with out being dependant on us being in a certain place such as church if He now desires to be Visible.
“To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
God lets what has gone under the bridge already go as He does the impossible in the flow to come where we too are invited to run upon the water with Him to have faith to do the impossible.
Our little given to Him has the promise of abundance as it is multiplied in Nis generosity.
“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
The illustration shows us in the power of worship in the spirit with rivers of living water flowing out from our belly and doing the impossible promised by Christ. Emanating light that pushes back the darkness.
