If Anyone Thirsts – 3 (John 7:37-38)
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
God wants to pour out His Spirit on His sons and daughters as He promised through the prophet Joel (2:28) many thousands of years ago, and Jesus opened the way for this prophecy to be fulfilled by the power of His shed blood. Jesus stood up in the temple that day and invited the people to come and receive the fullness of the Spirit from Him, but there was a condition - faith! He said He who believes in Me”.
BELIEVE! Whatever you are crying out to God for, He says to you today “Believe”! The Holy Spirit wants to touch you as you read this message and restore your hope. He wants to flow into you and renew your faith. You may be surrounded by conflict or betrayal, or wondering how you are going to pay your bills; maybe you have been living with an infirmity from which you really need to get free. Hear His voice today as He says “He/she who believes in Me, will receive endless rivers of living water. They are the waters of Life. They are the healing waters that flow from My holy throne in Revelations 22. They are waters that break the curses of infirmity, bondage, lack, family breakdown and discouragement. Look back over the years and see how I have never let you down. I have always come through for you, and there is more I have for you.”
Dear friend, when you step into the River of the Holy Spirit, you step into your destiny. It is in the mighty Holy Spirit that you can experience the fullness of everything God has promised you. The precious Holy Spirit is speaking to two groups of people today:
1)You precious people who once knew the power of the Holy Spirit in your everyday life, but your faith took a beating over a period of time and you lost sight of the power that flowed within you. You may be feeling like you have no faith to believe for your miracle but God is restoring your faith. He is calling you back to the promises and prophetic words He gave you. He is calling you to feed on His Word. He is calling forth those waters of life from the depths of your innermost being as He enables you to believe once more. There is a breakthrough on the way. There are answers to your prayers which are about to be manifested in your life! Believe and expect to receive as you let the River flow deep into you once more.
2)The dear people who have never drunk of the heavenly River, or seen the powerful working of the Holy Spirit in their lives. The Father is calling you into a new level of faith, and a new level of power. He wants to fill you with His presence and show you what it really means to be in relationship with Him. He says to you “my child, believe, because all things are possible with Me”. Dear friend, believe that God has only the best plans for you, and that is why He gave you His very best – Jesus. He wants to fill you with His Spirit and teach you what it is to be a son and a daughter, and the much loved child of the King! As you step into the River, those living waters will begin to wash away your fears and bubble up in you with new joy. It is a change of season and there is more in store. There is a total turnaround for you, hallelujah!
JESUS SAID "BELIEVE IN ME". Many of us find it easier to believe in ourselves, or our leaders, churches, or systems than to believe in the person of Jesus, His reality, love and saving power. He is the Word made flesh, He is the Alpha and Omega, He is the Mighty God and the Prince of Peace. Set your eyes back on Jesus, and you will see how things change in your life. As you take Him at His Word and believe in Him, there is a River that gushes forth and overflows. There is faith that rises up. Transformation begins to happen when we fix our eyes on the Beautiful One, and the power of the Holy Spirit flows when we fall in love with Him! Just set your heart on Jesus and ask Him to fill you afresh with the glorious person of the Holy Spirit. He has promised: “He who believes in Me, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” God has something wonderful for you and I pray that you will step into all His best as you open your heart and receive the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit, not just for today but forever, in Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
