Rivers, Transformation and Little Children!!!!

Hello Precious One!

We all have seen the power and devastation when a river overflows its banks and flows into a city.  How about when more than one river overflows into a city?  The city becomes submerged in water.  Does anyone remember New Orleans?   The Bible says that “Rivers of Living Water shall flow from within you”. John 7:38.     The word river could also be translated as floods or a torrent.   Floods or torrents of Living Water will continually be flowing from within you and me.

  This happens because we are one with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.   We have been eternally connected to this eternal flow of the Spirit!  This River of Life flows from the Throne of God and everything of God flows from His heart!   “From the heart flow all the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23.   The Bible also says that the Father’s Love is always being poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5. 

  Psalms 36:8-9 says, that “You give them drink from the tour River of Delights.  For with you is the Fountain of Life.”     We just need revelation by the Holy Spirit to experience the power of these verses.  The Holy Spirit breathes Life onto the Word of God and makes it powerfully real and experiential for us!   We can know what the Word of God says, but not walk in the power of the Word.   Holy Spirit makes these verses come alive in our hearts!   Holy Spirit breathes Life and power onto the Word and the then transforms into the likeness of Jesus with ever-increasing glory!  

 Transformation of our life and heart comes as we simply abide in the Love of the Father.  “God is Love.  Whoever abides in Love abides in God, and God in him.  In this way, Love is made complete among us…. Perfect Love casts out fear (from the heart).  We Love (with His Love) because He first Loved us.” 1 John 4:16-19. 

   It is the deep places of our inner most being, our heart, that the Word needs to get into so that we become transformed into the image of Christ!   Theology does not get into this place!  The Life of the Spirit is the One who transforms into the likeness of Christ so that His Love and power flow through us.   As we abide in the Father’s Love, as we embrace the Lord’s glory apart from the law, we are being transformed. 

  “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect (behold, meditate, gaze with the heart) the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord who is Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18.   The Spirit, the Rivers of His Living Waters, this outpouring of the Father’s Love by the Spirit is what transforms our heart!   We can read books until the day we die, but unless we are depending on Holy Spirit to transform us and not the books, the transformation into the image of Christ simply will not happen. 

 Oh, there are a lot of people walking around who can be nice from time to time, but the deep, overwhelming transformation into Christ just will not happen.  It is not that difficult, it is just simply abiding with our heart in the Spirit that the transformation occurs.   We embrace so many other things with our heart, but as we get revelation of the Father’s Love, this becomes the number one thing that we embrace with our heart!   We just learn and grow and go deeper and deeper in the embracing of the Father’s Love by the Spirit!  
Simple!!!!!!   As His Love takes possession of our heart, the transformation occurs!  As we take possession and take hold and embrace the Father’s heart of Love that He put within us at salvation, we walk in His perfection and glory on the earth!

  “I tell you the Truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Mark 10:15.   We just simply receive the Father’s Love into the depths of our hearts by the power and fellowship of Holy Spirit.   Not complicated, very simple.  Just learning to let go of all the distractions in our hearts simply receive and embrace the Father’s Love like a little child!!!!!!       SHALOM!!!!!!!
