Flourish 1

Living Water is a flowing vital expression, of  both, the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. They flow as One and express the goodwill of the Father toward all His Creation.

There is life and health and well being within the flow. Those who were baptized in the Old and New Testament were baptized in flowing waters.

The waters are not meant to be static, still, or a place for rancid, decaying matter. Living Water was meant to flow to you, through you and overflow from you to others and vice versa. 

The Lord's restorative counsel flows through the Living Water. Often, life's battles and trials take place within the mind. If you are receiving accusation, mental debate or feel defeated, take a plunge into the flow of Living Waters. 

Here is what Adonai says in Isaiah 55:10...

As the rain and snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my Word that goes forth from my mouth. (Also see Is. 45:8)

Adonai desires for you to flourish. He gave His all for the Living Water to be released for your benefit. Living Waters of His Word are described as Rain, Lightning, Wellspring and River within the text of the ancient scriptures.

See here in Psalms 29:3, 4, 7....

The voice of Adonai is over the rushing waters; the God of glory thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of Adonai is powerful; the voice of Adonai is majestic. The voice of Adonai strikes with flashes of lightning.

Do you think of judgment when you hear of lightning? Lightning releases nitrates into the atmosphere which feed the plankton, which in turn feed the eco system of earth.

That is an over simplification but enough for our blog purpose to demonstrate Father's will for you to flourish.

Think also of the rainbow which was a sign of the promise after the flood. Messiah asked the disciples to wait for the promise, which was the Holy Spirit (John 7:37, 38, Acts 1:4). 

Lightning releases the rain as well and rain represents the Holy Spirit. Light and rain= rainbow. Such a beautiful picture of Yahweh's love for you.  

Here is a scripture about the wellspring, another description of the Living Waters in Isaiah 12:3...

Surely Yah Adonai is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. Yah Adonai is my strength and my song;

He has become my salvation. With joy you will draw water from the wells (or springs) of salvation (Yeshua).

Clearly the Lord desires for you to flourish. Surely His counsel and goodwill is within the flow of the Living Waters.

The written Word can be compared to snow or ice; when you activate the flow, there is a release of His wisdom and healing. 

Often what is being preached as the word of God has become static or polluted by men's traditions. Messiah did not come to judge, or turn away, those who are thirsty. 

He was stern with those who were religious and self righteous but never with those who were seeking life, seeking to flourish. Please forgive us if this is the Gospel you have heard.

Many have been turned away from this stale and rancid water, which was -condemnation- preached as if it were the Gospel. 

In truth, each individual should be seeking Yahweh's flow so they may flourish in a one on one relationship. Living Water is all about relationship rather than intellectual pursuit or the pursuit of a religious convention. 

Remember-Living Water needs to be both inside and outside of you. No one can do this for you.  Many Christian denominations have tried to take the place of an individual seeking to drink from the Wellspring.

No one can drink for you. No one can seek for you. The church gatherings were meant to shelter and build you up. They were meant for believers to give drink to one another.

In your private, quiet place of prayer...you can activate the flow of His majestic waters and you can be freed from doubt, mental fatigue, rejection and grief. 

You can activate them (Yahweh's Words) by praying them out-loud or by singing. Even a tentative whisper can release the flow. Try it. 

Let Him lead you to the healing streams. They are available in your garden of prayer. (see Song of Solomon 4:6-10)

The reason this works- He is the beloved. Do you not love to hear love talk? Yahweh does too and when you speak the scriptures out loud to Him, you are speaking His love language. That sense of judgment is coming from the enemy not the LORD.

I am talking about the wonderful promise scriptures, the comfort scriptures. Some verses are historic, some are corrective, some are mysteries, some are actual verdicts from the court room of heaven....don't worry about those for now. Just draw near.

The Holy Spirit, the flow of Living Waters will also teach and guide you into all truth. And He will guide you to those who can mentor you in the truth and fellowship. Ask.

You do not have to understand the whole of the ancient scripture, just find a beautiful promise and ask for this gift to flourish. 

Believers have been studying the scriptures for thousands of years, trust me, they just keep on unfolding and revealing and flowing like never ending Living Waters.

Just start with a cool cup of water....may I suggest the last half of Isaiah...its a great place to start or the Gospel of St. John. Read it out- loud as if you are expecting a dialogue with your Creator.

You will not be disappointed. Be patient, listening ears are something which grow and develop over time.

Soon- we will talk about The River. 

Yahweh....your Creator....your beloved....has provided so much for you to flourish in His counsel and in His lovingkindness. 

Rivers are flowing out of the majestic throne room of heaven right now. He is waiting to give you downloads of His goodness. 

He is willing to meet you right where you are...and He will not leave you there....He will lift you up and carry you- upon His flow. 

It is your choice, your free will to activate the flow.
