The Light of Love

“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

JOHN 4:13-14

The promise of Jesus Christ is that in your acceptance of him as son is true belief - true wisdom. In this belief and knowledge of the Spirit of Jesus, rivers of living water will flow through you. 

As you create a oneness with Jesus through the Spirit given - Jesus will live through you - using you to get his message of redemption and truth to all those that have been called to listen. In such, you have truth. Place no gaps between you and Jesus and all will be shown.

The blessing you receive is not to remain idle with you but rather its purpose is to brighten your bulb so that you may be a light for Christ. To be a light - you must know Jesus - and know that he is the one that blesses and brightens you. To receive a blessing from God is divine - to receive wisdom from the Lord is life - to obtain understanding from the one that is, that always was and who is still to come is miraculous. There is no fear in Christ as there is no thing that he did not already conquer. Jesus did this for you. 

God so loves the world that he gave his only son, so that whoever believes in him will not die but have eternal life.

Come to Me and Drink

 “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.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. 

JOHN 7:37-39 

To know Jesus is too understand that no matter how difficult a task may be, the spirit you have inside can and will overcome all barriers in which the mind cannot conceive. Work not on understanding how something may occur, but rather on your close relationship with Jesus.

It is through Jesus - the barriers fall and the living waters will flow. You are the conduit. Through obedience and dependence on the Lord - all that needs to be done will be done. The Father knows more than the son, it is the ask of the son to be obedient - through faith - all is possible.

A river presses on regardless of what is in its path. Should a barrier fall in the path of the river, the water will quickly find a way around or through the barrier as it flows persistently. Do not focus on the barrier - but keep your heart and mind focused on Jesus. He is calling you to a closer relationship with him. 

It is Christ Jesus himself that flows through you by the spirit he has provided. Jesus is the water of life and he will quench the thirst of your heart, calm the unease in your mind and fill you with love from heaven.

Watch With Me

 “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?”

MATTHEW 26:40

The Holy Spirit is God - The Father IS the Son THROUGH The Holy Spirit. As Jesus rose - he replaced his physical body on earth with The Holy Spirit - a replacement for the spirit of man. It is given through acceptance and baptism of Jesus and The Spirit.

He watches the world not from afar, but from your very eyes. We as Christians are but earthly bodies given eternity through the Spirit of Jesus Christ. We are his missionaries in all we do. He is always here.

"Watch with me," is what Jesus said to the twelve - but they didn't understand what he meant. The twelve were sad and scared for themselves as they scattered when Jesus was arrested as The Holy Spirit had not yet been given. We are asked by Jesus to watch with him - together - as a team that cannot be separated - not to watch for him.

He is always here - seek and you shall find. Jesus is after you. He seeks your heart and mind to be molded into his ways and his Holy Spirit to dwell in you perfectly so that he may comfort you, guide you and love you from everlasting to everlasting.

I am His

 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them."

JOHN 17:6-8

To belong to Jesus - is to entirely - by choice - give all to him. The act of giving your life to Jesus is hard. It is to forsake all that you have learned and seen for the unseen. It is to allow the Spirit given to you in acceptance and baptism of your Lord to permeate into and through your entire being.

The journey to oneness with Christ is not easy - Jesus and his original 12 had a hard time. At Pentecost the Holy Spirit was poured out giving magnificent power to all those who accepted truth. The same opportunity exists today. 

Jesus already conquered. He is already here.

A disciple belongs to Jesus. It is the understanding that you do not belong to yourself but rather to the Lord that is the call of the missionary. I am not mine but have been made and prepared for the purpose of Jesus - such that his light is seen and his way is known. 

Jesus did not send any of his followers out into the world to speak about him until after his death and resurrection. First, he proved he was God as the grave could not keep him. Then, after his resurrection he gave The Holy Spirit to his followers at Pentecost. 

"The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD, and He will delight in the fear of the Lord." 

You have been chosen by Jesus as his own special possession. The disciple belongs to Christ and Jesus himself looks after him for you are his witness. The mission is not about what the Lord has done for you - but knowing that you are his and he is living his will through you.

The Water of Life

 "David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!” So the three mighty warriors broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out before the Lord."

2 SAMUEL 23:16

When the Lord gives you a blessing of any sort, know the first fruits belong to the Lord. Take not for yourself the blessing in haste and stubbornness of thought. Look at the heavens, say thank you and give unto those in such that the blessing of the Lord may be given to others through you.

This is how living waters of truth, love and grace abound through you by the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Be fooled not by the world and the false desires you seek. You have eternity in the Lord Jesus.

The mighty men of David risked their own lives for the sake of providing water to their King. David saw the Lord had allowed his men to be successful for his sake, therefore the water retrieved he could not drink but pour out before God in thanks. It is God who is honored in this - and those who bear witness to another's devotion to God has their gaze brought up to heaven as well.

Jesus is the power - we are the tool to be used for his perfection and love purpose. Self indulgence in the Blessing will not bring forth new joy - but rather bitterness. It is for the Glory of God that the blessing is given - if the blessing does not pass through you - how can you be a river of living water that never ceases to flow?

The River of Living Water

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

JOHN 7:38

The Lord Jesus didn't come here to be a motivational speaker with business advice. He came to save the world. Discipleship is when you abandon all that is currently known for faith in the unseen Spirit of Jesus Christ.

The goal for man is to release the power of The Spirit of Jesus to the world. To heal, to bring peace, love and heavenly joy. To rid the world of lies, hate and fear. Jesus conquered all - and he gives you the power of the Father through the Spirit of triumph he gave at the cross. Accept it.

The Lord Jesus is asking us to be as he was. He has given us the power to do all these things through The Holy Spirit. His purpose was not only to save mankind but also to give us the power he has by choosing him and walking in his way with him - for him. He is the water of life  - through Jesus Christ you can do all things - and he will do all things through you for the purpose of love.

Jesus is the model for man. It is the goal of God to have each person choose Jesus, accept his Holy Spirit and do the specific things that Jesus did and asked us to do. He came to set us free and show us how to live for God. Jesus lives and he is love. Jesus lives and he is calling you. Jesus lives.

The Call of Holiness

 "But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy."

1 PETER 1:15-16

The world and its many visions create a distorted view of life - and its pursuit of happiness. The Lord says we are to pursue Holiness. In this search for Holiness - you create a oneness with the Lord allowing your body, mind and spirit to be sanctified by Jesus Christ.

In such pursuits and achievements of Holiness - Happiness is found - Heavenly peace and divine love will pour from you. This gift is from the Lord - Accept Jesus and his pure Spirit of heavenly virtues and be Holy as the Lord created us to be.

Jesus came to show us how to live for God. He showed us how to live as Saints of the Most High God for the purpose of fulfilling his will. We are called specifically to be Holy because he is Holy. For The Holy Spirit to dwell in you - you must turn from the sinful misguided ways of the world and turn to Jesus in all things. He is Holy - you are not Holy without Christ being born again from within you.

Jesus removed the barrier between us and God. To be Holy is not to be complacent. To be Holy is not to mutter in displeasure. To be Holy is not to grumble about a circumstance. To be Holy is to know that God has placed you where you are with intention. To be Holy is to be loving. To be Holy is to follow Jesus.

Holiness is achieved through Jesus Christ - by accepting his truth, allowing his life to be lived in you through The Holy Spirit and living purposely for God with the intention of allowing his love to be seen in you through loving others.
