Drinking of YAHWEH'S Character

There are many benevolent bottled water companies which donate their proceeds to underdeveloped people & regions. 

What if we could go a step further and bottle the expertise these people needed to prosper? 

Say the same water which would support their endeavors would also give them all the wisdom they needed to succeed? Wouldn't they delight in drinking fully from this source? 

Yahweh has provided this for us in what Yeshua described as Living Water! We can actually drink of His essence, His character, when we drink of His Source Waters.

This Living Water is the 3rd part of-

 Father, Son, Holy Spirit. 

Holy Spirit is described in many different ways within the Gospels. Water like the holy trinity is designed as 3 in one. H2O.

In the natural, water sustains all life; and so it is with spiritual water. As you read His Word- you can drink of Him. As you worship, you can drink of Him. As you pray & minister to others, you can drink of Him. 

Water was designed to operate & replicate the action of giving. As a demand is placed upon it, more flows out.

John the Baptist described Holy Spirit as a dove or a baptism in Living fire. Jesus described Holy Spirit as Living Water and THE PROMISE. 

After Jesus resurrected, He blew with His Holy breath upon the disciples and said, Receive the Holy Spirit. HE also called His breath, His counterpart:

 THE COMFORTER. 

This is just a small sample of the descriptions of Holy Spirit but I want to focus here, on the Living Water.💧

We are created as a trinity like Yahweh, like water; we have a Spirit, soul, body. How do we absorb the character of Yahweh when drinking His Living Water? 

As in the natural, if we drink too much coffee, tea or sugared drinks, the true need and thirst for pure water can be masked. So it is with our spiritual body, which is not as visible as the natural body. Nothing can substitute for Living Water.

We are not as aware of our Spirit as our body or even soul which seem to make their needs ever present! Lol. To drink, of the Spirit, we need to slow down and quiet ourselves for times of refreshing.

Those who are runners or athletes are very careful about hydrating their bodies. They soon learn the benefits or consequences when they neglect to hydrate. 

We need to develop our awareness of our need for Living Water; once we begin to do this, we also begin to observe the benefits.

Whatever form water takes on earth, you will find a comparison within scripture of Holy Spirit- the Living Water. Holy clouds, rain and wellsprings are described throughout the text of The Word.

"The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade [cloud] at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul." Psalm 121:5,6

This scripture in Psalms is repeated in Revelation 7:16 where the saints are enveloped in the glory cloud of God's presence. 

The Living Waters, in the form of a cloud, shade us from the sun which can represent government or principalities & powers. The cloud shades us, protects us and preserves us.

"In the light of the Kings face there is life, and His favor is like the clouds." Proverbs 16:15

The favor of God is signified by the cloud. The clouds give us rain:

"For He (Yahweh) draws up the drops of water; which distill as rain from mist, which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly on man. " Job 36:27

"He seals the hand of every man, that all may know His work." Job 37:7

Here we see a picture of God stopping man's work so that man can take notice and receive instruction and refreshment. 

The Living Water 💧in the form of rain demonstrates God's intention to provide in abundance; giving us rest and releasing wisdom.

Rain causes an oxygenation and cleansing in the atmosphere as it falls! The same is true when spiritual rain falls into our churches and into our individual souls. What a wonder! 

The rain spills into rivers and collects in underground reservoirs. So Yahweh provides a cleansing, renewing cycle to form, all around us, for our benefit. It's genius! 

The rainbow 🌈 Covenant of God, with Noah, following the flood; is still under Contract to this day. It manifests in the rain. What amazing grace! 

"For with you (Yahweh) is the fountain of life." Psalm 35:9

The good news is Yeshua came here to live as one of us so that we could have access to His fountain of life. In fact we can have a mini fountain right inside of us. 

"Is anyone thirsty? Let him come to me and drink. He who believes in Me, as scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

 John 7:37, 38

This water is spiritual, supernatural and given freely. There is no end to the supply. Just ask. It will never harm and you can't ever ask for too much.

It is so safe because it is the very substance, essence and character of Jesus which is being offered through Holy Spirit. 

"And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" 

John 1:14

He gave of His own being- His own heart- to release abundant grace and truth. He paid the price in order to freely release this wonderful supply of refreshing, wholesome, Living Water.  

There is forgiveness, cleansing, hope, faith and love within the Living Waters of Life. 

"Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, Come buy and eat." 

Isaiah 55:1 

His love is all the currency you will need. His forgiveness is the dispenser. It is a gift of value beyond measure. Just ask.

"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 of the water of life freely."

Revelation 22:17
