Living water

[Blain]

Have you wondered what exactly living is and what does or what it represents? Say that Jesus offered you a cup of glistening radiant living water if you drank it how do you think you would feel? clean from the inside and out perhaps? filled with a kind of life that you cannot describe in words? would you be gilled with the spirit like never before? Would it be the most delicious thing you have ever tasted in your life?

What would do to have just a sip of such water? how would you seek it out? do know if you have this water in your spirit right now? Two things in scripture that are very symbolic but also absolute vital for the believer is bread and water not the physical kind but the spiritual kind. bread represents the word water represents the spirit or at least this is the first meaning of them it goes deeper than that because the bread can also represent prophecy water can also represent life and being clean

But if you have without the other then you are starving yourself . you can feast on all the bread you want but without living water you get dry spiritually yes you have knowledge of the word you may even prophesy but without being filled with the spirit you are only having head knowledge of the word not heart knowledge you can prophesy but it will not come to pass because it is not the spirit in you speaking because you have quenched the spirit in this regard.

If you drink a lot of living water yes you may be spirit filled but you then can go into a state of spirituallity that leads to an unstable ground to stand on this is why you see so many charismatics or pentecostals acting like they do they drink the water of the spirit but have no bread so they act crazy they run around the room they laugh hystarically or have what appear to be seizures

Living water is very important to have and there truly is life in it but think abut the human body for a minute you can feed yourself and keep your body alive for a time but you become dehydrated without water if you become to dehydrated your body starts acting wierd you can have hallucinations for instance your body becomes weak and sluggish and many more health problems

So how does one recieve living water then? the word is always there at hand so you have your bread but ask yourself how do you recieve this living water that is said to overflow out you? Do you have this living water in you right now and if not why?

Our salt comes from the living water, doesn't it?

It would be helpful if you cited the passage under review.

Yes it does but the thing is we have to know how to recieve this living water. See the bread we eat is the word which is always at a hands reach but this water however is not here in our reach like the word is it is something you must recieve supernaturally you have to understand what this living water and what it does and seek it and ask for it with utter devotion for it

The reason I asked in my op if we actually have this water is because many do not seem to have it. if yu go to other Christian forums you see many who are well versed in the word yes but there is no spirit in their words even when they mean well and even in churches it is the same thing

One who has this water sticks out like a candle in the darkness you can read their words they post and just feel the spirit alive in them. remember that man shall not live by bread alone this was used by Jesus to say that they would live by the very word of God but this was not only meant as the word we read and study but the breath of life that his voice speaks to our spirit the water flows in his words his voice itself.

the salt in the water is there yes but the question we must ask ourselves is do I turuly have this water in me? does the spirit flow out of me like a river pouring out?

For some reason CC is limiting the lengths of my posts so I cannot post my whole response in one single message. So, I am spreading it over several posts.

'Act 2:38 Then Peter (Πέτρος δὲ) was saying (ἔφη) unto them (πρὸς αὐτούς), Start repenting, (Μετανοήσατε) and start getting baptised be baptized (καὶ βαπτισθήτω) each one of you ( ἕκαστος ὑμῶν) upon the name ( ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι) of Jesus Christ ( Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ) for remission (εἰς ἄφεσιν) of sins (ἁμαρτιῶν), and ye shall receive (καὶ λήψεσθε) the gift (τὴν δωρεὰν) of the Holy Spirit (τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος).

To be continued...

 

[PaulThomson]

See also John 4:14 but he who drinks the water I give them will in no way thirst into the age. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

and John 7:38 Whoever is believng into me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

One certainly receives the Holy Spirit by turning away from distrusting God and starting to trust Jesus whom God sent so that one is willing to submit to the baptism into His name that He commanded His followers to undergo. However, although God does promise to give the Holy Spirit to those who have repented and have submitted to baptism, He is free also to give the Holy Spirit before baptism, if He wills, without breaking His word. He does not say anywhere that He will give the Holy Spirit only to those who repent and get baptised.
One keeps on being watered by the Holy Spirit in real time by continuing to believe into Jesus in real time.
As one keeps on believing into Jesus the living water eventually fills the believer until His power overflows to others through the believers gifts and fruit.

Very well said and this is something that I feel we must remember to do daily, Jesus himself is the giver of this water and to recieve it we must go to him directly not as a distant being in heaven but as if he is here and now right in front of us.
The word will suddenly open in a way it has never has before our spirit will sing unto him with the utmost praise the flow of the spirit will be evident even as we walk in our daily lives.

There is a sense inside of serene peaceful clear wates you can feel it inside your very bones the way it makes your heart so tender all of a sudden you experience God in ways you never have his beauty and wonder his tender love his serene beauty that brings you to tears.
If we actively seek this water and refuse to back down until we have recieved it he will reward us and give it in full. Mu hope and prayer is that this thread will stir this desire in others to peak their curiosity of what this water and all that comes with it truly is to make them seek it with all their hearts because I tell you it is of a whole other level it unlocks a gate to his heart you have never dreamed

What an awesome scene in John 7:37-39 ,

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, 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. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭37‬-‭39‬

Be glorified oh Lord

 

[tablet123]

Joh 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Joh 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Joh 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Gal 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

The living water is receiving the Spirit for we have to be led of the Spirit to have eternal life.

Yes this is an awesome scene of what we are discussing and Jesus spoke this on the last day but it is also something we can have here and now in fact we don't even have to wait until we die to have heaven we can have heaven on earth here and now yes it is true that it won't be even close to what we will see and have once we go to that place but heaven itself the kingdom of God can reside in us here and now
The beauty of living water is that it is a direct line to heaven itself the joy we have in it the love that is in it the life that it gives and so much more.

I sometimes wonder how many here in cc alone know of this and have this in their hearts cc is acutally more stable than it was in the past but it still has a lot to grow in there is still strife and arguiing mocking and attacking and I know I am like a broken record always speaking of this but it is because my heart aches for this place and the people in it.

if living water flowed in everyone here this place would be alive in the spirit and many would see the true wonder of God a taste of heaven itself. we must drink from this water daily we must feast upon the word as if it is feeding our bodies and souls itself.but I also have seen some here who I can tell have life in them and this warms my heart every time I see a person speaking in spirit and truth every time I see someone praising God every time I see someone speaking and acting in love even if they are being attacked I can only smile in pride for them

There are people too concered with the world to joyfully receive the gifts God gives them.
I myself am happy that there is something that's alive in me, that's invisible to anyone looking in from the outside, unless they're paying attention, unless they took the time and effort to love, and to care.
If I can't have it between me and anyone else, at least I can have it between me and God.
And we can go on great adventures, and write great stories, completely in the spirit, without the flesh playing any part in it.

I like the Samaritan lladylady at the well she knew more than his own did . Give me this living water that I don't have to draw from the well anymore that's a good passage area to read don't ask me where it is it's in gospel fire sure
Key notes Samaritans were not spoken to of Jews and I'm pretty sure the disciples didn't help out kinda unlawful the speak to the Samaritans and I'm not sure but I'm pretty but I think they thought Jesus was hungry but he had food they knew not best note Jesus use his righteous to I stand fire her sin by her own confess use that to study if want living Bible to flow
