All My Fountains Are In You

"And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the river goes, will live." Ezekiel 47:9

This river is....The Word...His Word flowing out of the throne of Yahweh. The River is The Holy Spirit flowing from Yahweh's heart to our hearts. 

His mind, His heart, both flowing freely in a perfectly measured portion just for you. Just enough, not too much, freely given, touched by such wonder-filled sweetness.

This river contains the same life giving force which declared, "Let there be light". 

This limitless river is connected to the small springs which we desire to flow out of us; 

"He who believes in Me, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water" John 7:37,38

This river is connected to the cloud of witnesses. It's connected to the cloud Jesus was caught up into... 

and the same cloud He is returning within... 

The River connects us to Jesus

and to heavens culture which is harmless yet powerful and full of His life giving person and character.

"And He showed me a pure river of water of life, proceeding from the Throne of God and of the Lamb."Revelation 22:1 

Within the river is The mind of Christ, the good will of the Father and the tongues of men and of angels.

What is this counsel which is released within The Streams? Is this not the wisdom of the 7 voices who testify on our behalf listed in Hebrews 12:22? 

1. Innumerable angels

2. General Assembly

3. Church of Firstborn

4. God the Judge of All

5. Just men made perfect

6. Jesus The Mediator 

7. The Blood of Sprinkling 

So when we pray in this delightful stream- our voices join those of Heavens Courts. When we pray in tongues we are echoing the sounds of the great cloud of witnesses.

To the church I ask: How do we contrive to disdain such honor, justice and order? 

Healing, cleansing and restoration flows in this river. Always.

"He shall be like a tree planted by rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season. Psalm 1:3

It's so simple.....why do we make it complicated??? 

We were instructed to sing to this wellspring. Even in the Old Testament, Moses commanded them to sing to the well.

He also commanded the nobles to use their staffs to dig the wells. The staffs represent their authority, counsel and leadership. 

In the New Testament we were instructed to pray in the flow of "The Streams" which He has released within us. This was Jesus' request as a prophet, just like Moses.

The Streams are sometimes a mystery of tongues, designed to hide the strategy of heaven's Hosts from the fallen, malicious ones. At those times, we need His stealth and we need to be hidden under His great Wings.

What a gracious gift He has given to us! Should we neglect His very essence which is the true substance flowing within the Living Water?

"But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive." John 7:39

Our hearts can flow with His Holy Streams ....our faith in Jesus gives us the capacity to flow forth Living Water. This is stunning !!! Such a  gracious & supernatural gift.

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is in the Lord. For He shall be like a tree planted by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; 

but it's leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will it cease from yielding fruit" Jeremiah 17: 7,8

How is it, that we should refuse the kindness and treasure of this measureless and boundless provision? All that is required is a thankful & yielded heart.

Why do we hold back from praying in the Spirit, why do we hold back from praying in this stream??? Simply to make sure we are in control? So we don't lose our dignity!?

Why would we prefer limited human control over the Spirit of truth, comfort and wisdom? He will soften our hearts, all we need is to be willing. 

He allows us to hold the reigns. Always our free will is respected by Holy Spirit. No exceptions. 

(Contrary to some poor examples we have seen, we were gifted free will & Holy Spirit does not violate His own gift to us. 

Those poor examples were man's carnal misuse of a beautiful & holy gift. I'm sorry to find a need to address this issue.

It's a legitimate concern. Yet, He planned for us to grow in discernment in this way.

When ministers misuse the gift, the Holy Spirit will correct them & eventually The Spirit withdraws from them. Holy Spirit uses force against the enemy not his people.)

This is the true way Holy Spirit functions...like a sweet, refreshing stream. Are we so wise as to tell the Lord how to function? 

This is the 3rd person of the godhead. It is so important that we learn the joy, confidence and soundness  which comes from  flowing in His streams.

Let Holy Spirit flow.. if you are firmly rooted in The Word...Will you not be like a tree firmly planted by Streams of Living Water? Indeed this is the legacy described in Psalm 1:3 and in Jeremiah 17:8. 

It's your legacy in Christ. And indeed it is yet to be fulfilled, that.. 

"HIS glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the seas."

This is the legacy the church has yet to fulfill. Yet, His Word will come to fruition. 

I ask the church: Will you deny or refuse your God given legacy?

"But the singers and the players on instruments say, 'All my fountains are in you'." Psalm 87:7

Allow His fountain ⛲ to come forth; there will be new songs, new understanding of ancient paths, new wisdom and compassion...

 and His profound, everlastingly pure and sweet counsel will fill your heart with overflowing joy.
