2 kings 23: 2 Chr.35; John 7;

John 7:37-39

37 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.


What a amazing statement Jesus proclaim that anyone who comes to Him who is thirsty for the power of God will be given the Holy Spirit and He will be like “streams of living water” and that “living water will flow from within him”. The promise that Jesus will give to us the Holy Spirit living right inside of us, within us. That is the desire of God to dwell right inside us. As Jesus is “one” with the father, God the father desires to be “one” with us. What a statement the God of the universe wants to dwell inside of Jack. Most of the time Jack has a hard time living with Jack and yet God wants to dwell with me. This is one of those things I accept by faith because, I have a hard time believing God loves me. Because I know me! I (we) are so lucky God does not think or act like us. His desire is to give and give it abundantly. What a God we serve. Just think there are people who have not yet asked God to give them living water. They don’t even want that water. They would rather view God from afar. Not me I want all I can get and even more. I want all of God and His Holy Spirit. So join with me today as we thank God for His blessings. The Gift of God was not only His son but also, His Holy Spirit to dwell with us forever…

May God bless you and keep you in the power of His Holy Spirit living right inside us, as He fulfills His purpose in and through us...
