First Canadians, chapter 7

Today, after our conference was finished, we had a scheduled day off at Niagara Falls. What a sight! We first went on a cable car over the river, then went underneath the Falls to see them from below which was staggering, then we went up to see them from the more traditional viewing angles and locations.

We think of water as being what comes out of a tap, or the kettle, or a bottle of water, it’s not often we see water moving that fast or powerfully. When we were in the cable car, the eddies were moving at nearly 40mph. There was a small boat that was literally surfing on them!

Water is powerful. When Jesus talked about the new birth in John 4 He compares the new birth to a well.

When you get born again, your reborn spirit becomes a well of Life inside you, giving you righteousness, peace, joy, healing and so much more. It’s great to have a well inside you giving you what you need.

But just three chapters later in John 7, Jesus says this:

37 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.

38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

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.

If you receive the Holy Spirit baptism you upgrade from a well to rivers. Rivers is the plural of river, it means more than one! When you get the Holy Spirit power flows out of you through so many directions to so many people because the Holy Spirit loves people and wants to bless them.

The next time you see someone in need, ask yourself do I have a river for them? If you are baptised in the Holy Spirit and tongues, the answer is normally yes you do, so now do something about it. Lay hands on the person, pray with some authority expect power to flow out of you with force and impact that other person.

Expect songs to come out of you like rivers. Songs that change loved, songs that heal the sick, songs that lead people to the presence and glory of God. Songs that change lives.

Expect Scriptures to flow out of you bringing healing and health and abundance to the people who hear them.

Expect love to flow out of you and impact people, fix the broken people, humble the arrogant people and soften the hard hearted.

Don’t go another day not expecting rivers of living water to flow our our spirits through our souls to people all over the world. Expect to make a difference in the life of others. Expect increase. Expect abundance. Expect results. When you come near someone that water in you is going to rush into them changing their lives forever.

You are called to be a world changer, a life changer, a carrier of rivers of living water to the world, eroding rocks of doubt and unbelief and selfishness and bringing glory to people who need to know the life of God, get born again and get their own wells, and get baptised in the Holy Spirit and get their own rivers.

Don’t settle for less than a supernatural life. Expect rivers to flow. Out of you to offend.

Selah.

Grace and peace
