Filled To Overflowing 

(The Rivers Of Living Water: An Outflow Of Words)

TO THE BIBLE: John 7:37-38 NIV
“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.””

LET’S TALK
The Lord Jesus said, “If you believe in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from your belly—your innermost being.”

Have you asked yourself what He meant by “rivers of living water”? What exactly are these living waters? These are words, rivers of living words.

Many people once thought the rivers of living water referred to the Spirit’s outflow from us; however, they are actually words of life.

The Spirit is transmitted in words because words are spirit. Jesus said in John 6:63, “…The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”

We pour out spirit when we pour out words. When you take the Word of God from within your spirit and speak it forth, when you prophesy, you’re pouring out rivers of living water.

This is what the Bible says, and if we follow the Word, we’ll always have the right results.

Study the New Testament; you’d find that whenever the apostles were filled with the Spirit, it resulted in an outflow of words: they spoke the Word of God with boldness (Acts 4:31); the Word of the Lord grew and multiplied (Acts 6:7, Acts 12:24).

Being filled with the Spirit always resulted in an outflow of words. That’s why you must put a premium on words.

Every so often, get yourself filled with the Spirit according to Ephesians 5:18-20 and pour out words—gushers of living water! Those words will tame the world, change circumstances, and give life to everything in and around you.

Pray:
Dear Father, I release positive energy through my words, for they’re unlimited and eternal. I speak life to everything that concerns me; I declare that I’m strengthened, energised, and emboldened to preach the Gospel, and there’s a great haul of souls in the kingdom. I declare great grace upon my family, schoolwork, ministry, and finances. I affirm God’s Word in every situation and speak life only. Hallelujah!
