COME TO THE WATERS (2)

Isaiah 55:1a (NKJV), John 7:37-39a (NLT)

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters…*On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit…

We saw yesterday that when God spoke to Isaiah about coming to the waters, He was referring to approaching Him to receive His word and all of its implications and blessings. Jesus is the word of God, and in our second text above, Jesus says that anyone who thirsts (or is experiencing dryness in any area of life) should come to Him and drink. He went on to say that one of the effects of drinking from Him is the overflow of living waters from our lives, by which He meant the manifestations and operations of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

When we compare Ephesians 5:18-20 to Colossians 3:16-17, we see that filling ourselves with Christ’s revelation has the same effect as being filled (or coming under the influence) of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit always works in tandem with God’s word, just as it did in Genesis 1:1-3. “Does God give you the Spirit and work miracles among you because you do what the Law requires, or because you hear the gospel and believe it?” says Galatians 3:5 (GNB). It is referred to as the hearing of faith in the King James Version. As you continue to fill yourself with Christ’s revelation, the operations/manifestations of the Spirit and God’s miraculous power will be activated in various areas of your life.

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you that as your word fills me, it stirs up my faith and I am experiencing the power of your Spirit right now
