John 7:37-38 says this:
37 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. 38 He that believes on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. KJV
I really like this portion of today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers:
The picture Our Lord gives is not that of a channel but a fountain. "Be being filled," (Ephesians 5:18) and the sweetness of vital relationship to Jesus will flow out of the saint as lavishly as it is imparted to him. If you find your life is not flowing out as it should, you are to blame; something has obstructed the flow. Keep right at the Source, and – you will be blessed personally? No, out of you will flow rivers of living water, irrepressible life.
We are to be centres through which Jesus can flow as rivers of living water in blessing to every one. Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus. As surely as we receive from Him, He will pour out through us, and in the measure He is not pouring out, there is a defect in our relationship (NOT relationship, but fellowship! Nothing can change our relationship with Him once we are born again!) to Him. Is there anything between you and Jesus Christ? Is there anything that hinders your belief in Him? If not, Jesus says, out of you will flow rivers of living water. It is not a blessing passed on, not an experience stated, but a river continually flowing. Keep at the Source, guard well your belief in Jesus Christ and your relationship (fellowship) to Him, and there will be a steady flow for other lives, no dryness and no deadness.
We are to be in a continual process of being filled with the Spirit of God so that we can count on the fruit of the Spirit being in manifestation and the Gifts of the Spirit available as HE leads, to minister to the people WE come in contact with! Are you doing that? If not, START! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Young and Free again with "Wake":
Shalom in Him!
