Today's Scripture: John 7:37-52
“With joy (we) will draw water from the wells of salvation,”(Isaiah 12:3)
“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” (John 7:38)
“…these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31)
I. The life of the Spirit comes in through faith in Jesus as the Christ.
“…for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” (John 7:38)
“But some said, ‘Is the Christ to come from Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?’” (John 7:41-42)
II. The life of the Spirit is what we all want!
How do we get the Spirit?
“To practice this correctly, the heart must be empty of all other things. God will possess the heart alone. He cannot possess it solely without emptying it of everything else. He cannot act in the heart, and do what He wants within it, unless it is empty.” -The Practice of the Presence of God, Brother Lawrence.
