SHALL FLOW RIVERS of LIVING WATER

"Out of your belly shall flow rivers of LIVING WATER" --What a promise -- and we the "elect" have found this so and it should be a "continuous" river , for HE is EVER-PRESENT - EVER-ABIDING -- is HE not ?
To avail ourselves of this great promise , we need to abide , rest in the fact HE IS -- wanting to help, able to help .
RESTING in the VINE as a weak branch, confident of HIS GREAT STRENGTH, to BE - to DO, ALL that HE promised. It's in HIS WORD --
This was paul's great secret -- whether in jail being beaten or in a ship that was sinking . CHRIST , The Ever-Present in the Person of the Paraclete, THE GREAT HOLY SPIRIT --
Now is HE not also promised to us , yes , a thousand times yes --

In my home as I type, I have 5 of my grandchildren , ages 3 to 11 -- the 5 year old is singing a bible song as she is playing with a doll house -- the two older boys are watching animal planet on tv and they click off the commercials as soon as they come on , for in their upbringing their mother would not allow commercials to be seen . - They are a "happy" group of kids -- always smiling and giving huggs to grampa and grandma - they are homeschooled and are tender hearted towards the Lord.
They could be considered some of the results of that Living Water for we abound in joy for having seen how the Lord has blessed us ---------
Reminds me of another family --
LPP and LMG and family -- close knit, happy , thinking of others , raised by a mom and a dad that taught them the bible and showed them how to find JESUS -- waters of life flowed from such a mom and dad -------
So brethren, not only do we have Living Waters flowing always from within us because of the Holy Spirit's Presence but we have waters of joy coming from our lives because of what God has done in them.
LET US CONTINUE TO ABIDE in THE BRANCH --

your grandchildren sound amazing!! we don't watch tv commercials usually either, and we thought we were odd, but it is so good when we meet others who don't, too!

God bless you richly,
