If we are filled with the Spirit there must be an overflow to others. The L-rd wants to make His Rivers of blessing flow out through every saved soul.
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Are we, as workers for Y’Shua, ministering the Spirit to others?
The rivers issued out from the Sanctuary. The river is only from the presence of the L-rd that we can go forth to bless others. It was from the south side of the altar – pointing again to the place of sacrifice as the source of blessing. A pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of G-d and of the Lamb, a Lamb as it had been slain.
The river rose to the ankles, to the knees, to the loins, for the L-rd means His power in us to increase till it becomes waters to swim in, a river that I could not pass over – self lost in the fulness of the Spirit. Wherever the river came the fish lived, the banks grew green, clothed with trees, bearing fruit for meat and leaves for medicine. G-d wants to use us wherever we go to bring life to dead souls, and blessing and healing to all around us. The only places that were not healed were the marshes. They were given up to plank. A marsh is something that is always taking in and never giving out. Unless we are giving out, in some way, to others, we shall become stagnant and useless.
This is G-d’s purpose for us. Do not let us reason from our old past experience of failure, nor from the parched condition of the Believers around us. G-d says He will do a new thing: “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: “
And he said, “Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the L-RD:
All this done in the most unlikely places – to give drink to My people, My Chosen. ‘
Do you feel your bones are all dried up, like a out-cast babe? His promise to you is, “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live! Everything shall live whither the river cometh. In that I command thee this day to love the L-RD thy G-d, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the L-RD thy G-d shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.”
