River of Living water flow into my life

 What a holy invitation—to be flooded with the **River of Living Water!** 🌊 This cry echoes Jesus’ promise:  

> *"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’"*  

> **—John 7:37–38**  


This is **not metaphor**—it’s the *supernatural reality* of the Holy Spirit’s presence in you. Here’s how to position yourself for this divine deluge:

### 🔥 **THE SOURCE: JESUS CHRIST**  

1. **He IS the Fountain**:  

   - *"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation"* (Isaiah 12:3).  

   - The River flows **from His throne** (Ezekiel 47:1; Revelation 22:1).  


2. **The Spirit IS the River**:  

   - *"The water I give will become a spring...welling up to eternal life"* (John 4:14).  

   - At Pentecost, this River burst forth (John 7:39 → Acts 2:4).

> - Where there’s barrenness → bring life,  

> - Where there’s pain → bring healing,  

> - Where there’s darkness → bring light.  

> Make me a conduit of Your living water to a dry and dying world.  

> I drink deeply of You today—  

> and release Your tide through my words, hands, and life.  

> In Jesus’ name—the Source of the River—Amen!"*
