The Holy Spirit wants me this morning to share with you where the true source of power that we need to drink from in order for the word to be made manifest in our lives can be found. I realized quickly that once you know the source from where you can go and drink from you have the advantage. This is because you now have constant access to go there with freedom and partake of as much supply as you want and be filled with that refreshing water of life.
In John.7:37-39 we read these words : On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Jesus points out a truth and invites us to come drink of the water He has available for us which He goes on to point out will become in our hearts rivers of living water that flow out from us.
It is clear from this statement that there is a source of water from which we as followers of Jesus can drink from when we are thirsty which becomes rivers of water in us. This statement we are told He spoke about the Holy Spirit whom those who believed would receive.
This indicates that as Jesus spoke out this revelation it was not completed as yet and would be revealed when the Holy Spirit is revealed and manifested on earth. This happened on the day of Pentecost. Acts.2:1-4.
Now in the book of Revelation which reveals to us who Jesus is now and His position in glory we are told these words in Revelation.4:6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. There is a water of life before the throne of God from which we drink which proceeds directly from the Lord.
We are permitted to drink freely from it and should ensure we are full of this water of life. This is the water of the Holy Spirit which we will now see that each time Jesus speaks from Heaven is what His voice is clothed in and reference is made to that in the book of revelation.
In Revelation.1:15b His voice was the sound of many waters;. Revelation.19:5 & 6 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns.
Revelation.22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation.22:17 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
Now this is no coincidence that every time the voice of Jesus speaks from heaven it is as the sound of many waters loaded with the Holy Spirit. This reality of the Spirit is extremely powerful and reaches into everything and since this water proceeds from the throne of God and we have access to it, we also need to be full of that heavenly water in order to effect things on earth through the Holy Spirit.
I know for myself that once I was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in tongues a new river of the water of life began following through me and this has never ceased as I continually come to the water and drink of the wisdom, knowledge, counsel and understanding that flows from the throne of God for my benefit and that of so many other Nations and Peoples.
When this revelation first came to me it opened my eyes to the reality of heaven and the words of Jesus which are truth and can be verified by us as we see that reality of heaven through the revelation the Lord gave John. This means we are so much better positioned in our beliefs and our confidence soars which means greater results in our lives and more expansion of the Kingdom.
When I realized that speaking in tongues was words flowing directly from the Throne room of God Most High to me it caused my value for this gift of life to grow. I became more determined to pursue the Lord more diligently and did more daily speaking in tongues as it meant I could get more from the Spirit by thirsting more and drinking more.
I was also more energized to ask the Holy Spirit to interpret to me what I was speaking out. This enabled me to fully benefit from what I prayed out by the unction of the Holy Spirit.
The day I was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues, I also got the interpretation of the tongues and prophesied all in the same package and understood that the words I received were not proceeding from me but coming from God to me. Hence the Apostle Paul wrote that he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to man, but to God and declares the mysteries of God which our natural self needs to understand to lay hold of.
In John.12:28-30 we witness this supernatural event of Jesus speaking with the Father: Father, glorify Your name. ”Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.” 29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.
As you can see from this discourse of Jesus God’s voice was clear to Jesus but some people heard it as thunder and others said an angel spoke to Him but they all did not get what was actually said and needed the interpretation of God’s word because it was spoken for their benefit but they missed it. This is why we need to interpret the tongues of the Holy Spirit because they are a mystery to our natural mind that needs to be unveiled to us.
We need to understand God’s words in our language to enable us to use them, hence an interpretation, which is the reason for this gift of the Holy Spirit to interpret tongues in 1 Corinthians.12:10. Which is to enable us to understand what is proceeding from the Father for our benefit and be able to use it to bring the plan of God to reality on the earth.
I have found by reason of experience that the Holy Spirit provides us with everything we need to know to accomplish the will of God and cause us to triumph in every situation in life.
My heart’s desire for you today is that you learn to walk in all the wisdom, understanding, knowledge and counsel of God which is in the Holy Spirit to enable us to have complete victory and triumph in every situation in life. We are commanded to share and partake in the complete victory Jesus bought and paid for us on cross.
Then through His resurrection to Ascension glory where He sits now in All authority over heaven and earth. To walk in a lack of knowledge of God when the Holy Spirit has so much available for us is an injustice to the price Jesus paid to make it available for our use.
I pray today that as this revelation arises in you, you will use the grace supplied through it to walk in a higher level of insight and triumph over the enemy in every situation so the Lord gets the glory in all things concerning your life.
Therefore make it a priority to speak in tongues as much as you can and drink in the water of the Holy Spirit as He supplies the words which will never run dry.
Then ask Him for interpretation or understanding of what that prayer has done on your behalf or, what insight you have received necessary for you to know exactly how to navigate any situation or, who the Lord wants you to help, aid or assist to come out of a dire situation. The List is endless of what the Holy Spirit is saying at any given time. So press into Him for more.
The Holy Spirit will let you know as you press into getting to understand His ways and patterns for success and a whole supply from rivers of life giving water will be at your disposal to drink from and make available to others in Jesus’ name by your life. Amen.
