Drinking The Abounding and Deep Waters of the Rivers of Delight!!!

Good Morning Precious and Dearly Loved Saint and Child of Our Abba Father!

“”Who can be compared with you in majesty? Consider Assyria, once a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest; it towered on high, its top above the thick foliage.  The waters nourished it, deep springs made it grow tall; their streams flowed all around its base and sent their channels to all the trees of the field.  So it towered higher than all the trees of the field of the field; its boughs increased and its branches grew long, spreading because of the abundant waters.   All the birds of the air nested in its boughs, all the beasts of the field gave birth under the branches; all the great nations lived in its shade.  It was majestic in beauty, with its spreading boughs, for its roots went down to abundant waters.” Ezekiel 31:2-7.     

The waters here represent the Holy Spirit.   It was the water that made the tree great.  The tree was connected and was well nourished by the deep and abundant waters.   The tree manifested this great beauty because its roots went down deep into the water!  WE too are connected to the deep water of the Spirit!

“On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”  By this he meant the Spirit…”  John 7:37-39.                         There are rivers of living water, Holy Spirit, flowing through each and every person who receives the gift of the salvation and the Holy Spirit.   This is a Truth that never changes once a person receives the Holy Spirit!  These rivers of the Holy Spirit are there for the drinking and sending deep roots into!  There are abundant waters of the Spirit nourishing each and every child of God!  

 The more we receive and drink of these abundant waters of the Spirit, the more beautiful and majestic and useful to others we will be!   The more we sink the roots of our hearts deep into these waters, the more nourished, strong and healthy the tree is!   It is the water of the Holy Spirit that makes us flourish, to be useful and majestic to the others around us!   We drink of the water and the water nourishes us to become strong, powerful and full of life!  It is not our efforts that make us beautiful, it is the water that does this!  The life is in the waters of the Holy Spirit! 

 How deep do you and I want to go in the Spirit?  How much of the Spirit do you want to drink of?   We are going to drink of something.  We can drink of the world or we can drink of the Living waters of the Spirit!   Will we allow the roots of our hearts to go deep into the abounding, nourishing of the rivers of living waters of the Spirit that are flowing within us?   WE can ignore the deep waters of the Spirit or we can drink deeply and often.   

 “The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!”  And let him who hears say, “Come!”  Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the Water of Life (Holy Spirit).” Revelation 22:17.                    “They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your rivers of delights.  For with You is the fountain of Life…” Psalms 36:8-9.        So we can feast and drink from the free gift of the Rivers of Delights!!!        “But His delight is in the law (the law is old covenant, we are in the new covenant of the Spirit), and on His law (on His Spirit) he meditates day and night.  He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.  Whatever he does prospers.” Psalms 1:2-3.   

     We can drink the Rivers of Delight or we can drink from the worldly system of condemnation.  When you got born again into the Kingdom of God, you connected to these infinitely deep Rivers of Delight that never stop flowing, even if you are having a very bad and terrible day!  You were planted by the Father into His abounding Waters of Delights of His Holy Spirit!   The Lord has been speaking to me to take bigger and bigger drinks of His Goodness, Love and Generosity.  How about you, are you ready to take bigger and deeper drinks of His abounding Rivers of Delights?                     SHALOM!!!!!!
