You need to hear what the Spirit is saying: Let the River of God flow through you. “Out of our bellies will flow Rivers of Living Water.” What is the Living Waters? “This spoke He of the Spirit!” Right? Stay with me.
What do we need to let flow through us? We need to let the Spirit of God
flow through us. Because we are the Living Waters. We are the Word of God made manifest today.
Jesus said, “As the Father sent me, even so send I you”. What did the Father send? THE WORD! Psalms 107:20: God said, “I sent forth the Word and healed them”. Who did He send? JESUS---Jesus came as what? THE WORD! John 1 says “In the beginning was the “WORD” and the “WORD” was with God, in Vs. 14, the “WORD” became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His Glory.”
The Glory of the WORD: Do you know what that is? The Glory of the WORD is for that WORD to be exactly what that WORD says it is suppose to be!
If you had an automobile, the glory of that car would be to perform perfectly, the way that car is suppose to perform.
The Glory of the “WORD OF GOD” is the intrinsic, eternal perfections of that “WORD”. Intrinsic means they only originate in that word. (You won’t find them anywhere else. These things are Gods. They are eternal because they have always been tied to that “WORD” even before the foundations of the earth. Perfection means: In them there is no shadow of turning.
So when a Word of God is given to you, then that Word is capable of producing by its own power what it takes to bring forth Glory! Wow!
We are the sent Word of God Now! Just as Mary received the Word, when he said “You’re going to bring forth a child”, she said “How can this be? I’ve never know a man.” He said, “This is how it is going to happen”. “The Spirit of God is going to overshadow you.” “He will move upon the word that you just received and that Word will be brought to LIFE! And that Word in you, Mary, was….you’ll conceive and bear a child”.
So when the word is brought to life, what will come forward? A child. Why? Because that’s the “WORD” she received.
If she had received “You’ll bring forth a gorilla” then that’s what she would have brought forth. This is not what it was. “You will bring forth a man child” and “he will be basically God!” He will heal the people. He will heal the things that God said He would heal!
Notice this: Jesus released an important thing to us, and that was this: “Just as the Father sent Me, so I send you” How did the Father send Jesus? “As the WORD believed on my Mary, received into her womb, moved on by the Spirit of God, and producing what that Word was.” Is that not right? I want you to hear what the Spirit is saying. HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING!
When you receive the Word, the Spirit of God overshadows you. What word is it that you are hearing? What word is it that you or that the Spirit of God has implanted in you and spoke to you? What is it that God spoke to you? And you said, “Lord, let it be done unto me, according to your WORD.” “Because that thing that has been placed in you now, is going to glorify him!” Think about this!
God’s Word will not return to Him void. You are that WORD! John 1:12: to as many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become Sons of God. He did not say that you are automatically a son. (This has been a dilution that has infiltrated the Body of Christ.)
You are saved simply by believing on the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. You have “salvation”. He goes the next step and says, “If you believe on me, then be filled with my Spirit”. He said, “I will send the Spirit to you”. Just like John 1:12 says…to as many as received him, to them gave He the power to become Sons of God. What was the Power? THE SPIRIT. Acts 1:8…Tarry in Jerusalem until you be endued with POWER. What came? THE SPIRIT OF GOD! After salvation you have the ability to receive the SPIRIT. John 1:12 says the Spirit in you can do something awesome! It can cause you to be born as a SON OF GOD!
I’m not picking and choosing words here. This is something that needs to be rooted very deep. This comes right out of the Spirit.
So then you are here as a manifestation of the WORD OF GOD. And that Word that God released was that you would glorify him. Bob has the ability within him to glorify God. How can we glorify God?
To glorify God is, we have to be able to manifest his intrinsic, eternal perfections. It’s His nature, His character, His will. So what is His will? His will we find it outlined in here. (The Bible). Here you have it in book form. But the book form won’t produce in you what His will is. It has to get out of there. Thank God for the Book. But I am going to tell you, that YOU are the living epistles of God. The apostles told us that. Written not on ink and paper, but actually written with the Finger of God, written with the Spirit of God!
So, just as Jesus came forth, he said, “I send you”. That means this: You heard the Word, when you heard the Word, you believed on the Word, the Spirit of God moved on that Word and You came forth! Not the old you, but you NOW! All things are passed away, behold all things have become new.
When God is saying, “let the river flow,” he’s saying that out of Bob, since he has come to the Lord, that in him is an incredible ability. Now the streams of God, it says in Revelation, that the streams flow forth from the Throne of God. Those streams do an incredible thing. They make glad the people of God!
When you begin looking in Revelation, you find out that “the tree” which Is. 61 says is the Tree of Life as well, the Tree stood on both sides of the river. The river flowed right out of the midst. Are you with me? Don’t get crazy on me. “Out of your bellies will flow Rivers of Living Water”.
That living water that flows out of the belly is the Life of the Spirit of God that flows forth from the Throne of God. Where is the Throne of God? RIGHT HERE IN YOU! You can’t read a prophet book and understand it in the natural. You have to let the Spirit of God bring revelation!
Because in you and everyone else, we have not just become saved, poor sinner, saved by grace. WE HAVE BECOME LIFE GIVING SPIRITS! Now the life giving ability you have only comes out of the Spirit. There’s no other way for you to give life. No other way!! Because He is the Spirit of Life. So the issues of life flow out of here. Proverbs says, life and death is in the power of the tongue! But he is not talking about the piece of meat in your mouth tongue. HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE VOICE THAT SPEAKS IN YOU.
Do you remember what Jesus taught? He said that “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”. A lot of people think that this is your lips. NO! Out of the abundance of your heart is the True Voice that God hears!
Have you ever heard anybody give you lip service? “Oh I love you brother” and you are thinking until I get my back turned, then you are going to let me have it.
God does not listen to what comes out of your mouth. He listens to the voice of your heart. The voice of the heart is the things that speak the words of the Spirit. So regardless of what comes out of the mouth is not the true vocal cord God’s listening to.
Life and death are in the Power. They are in the Spirit! Say that. “Life and Death are in the Spirit. The Spirit is the Power and whatever my Spirit is saying, that is the words and the voice that is coming out of my being.
When we begin to realize that the true Spirit and the true life that is flowing in us, is flowing out and bringing issues of life, that simply means this. The Word of God that has taken root in you, if you will let the Spirit of God move on that word, something incredible happens. The Spirit causes that word to come alive. It causes that word to become whatever that word is.
If I told you a secret, “now when this happens that will be real”. You will be able to speak it and it will be alive. Now that’s the same as the Spirit of God.
Whatever the Spirit of God has spoke in you and when your Spirit will is permitted to move over that, (just like God said, “Let there be light, and the Spirit moved upon the darkness of the deep, and upon the face of the waters and God said let there be light, BAM, there was light!”) Do you know why? Because the Word had all the characteristics and attributes in it and God spoke it. For it to become what? LIGHT!
Now if God would have said, “let there be a tree”, when the Spirit moved upon the face of the water what would have happened? A tree!
The Spirit is moving. He is saying there is no longer any guilt or condemnation that belongs to you. If God says you are righteous and the Spirit moves on that, what are you? You’re righteous! Well I thought I was unrighteous. No, you are righteous. Why? Because God created you. God birthed you in righteousness.
Look at Adam. He was created. God made Adam after His own image. You and I were not created. We were birthed. What were we birthed from? The Word tells us what we were birthed of. We are born of the Word. Born again of the Word. So that means the very essence of life we have now has came out of the Word.
So what is it that you need for God to move in your life in? That’s the word you need to focus on. I am not talking about scripture.
You see, we have a real God, who is enthroned in us now. Jesus said he and the Father would do something very incredible and what was that? We will come and make our abode in you. John 14:23. But I thought we were going to go where he is (white sacred cows falling everywhere). He said, “I’ll come and make my abode in you”. Now He said that, therefore He has done that! Jesus said that the “Spirit was with them, but would be in them”. Jesus said, “If I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God is come unto you”. Can I take this one step further? Do you know the scripture says that Jesus cast out the demons by the Word of His mouth? Jesus called that Word the Finger of God! The authority and the power that God has placed in you is this. If you will hear and you will let that seed (Christ) be real in you, and you will believe God over the circumstance, over the situation, and you will let the River of God, that is in flow and get that Word right in the stream of God, then when the Spirit hits that Word, it becomes manifest.
It doesn’t matter if you need peace of mind, if you need healing, if you need strength, if you need joy, or whatever it is you need. Let the Spirit of God move over that and it will produce exactly what he said it would!
So whatever word is alive in you right now. Everyone has a word that is alive in them right now. The Spirit has moved over the face of these waters.
The thing is, will we let the river flow? Will we let the Living Word come alive? That’s our choice. Don’t ever think God’s holding something back from you. He’s never holding anything back when He gave us Jesus. (If I was ever going to hold anything back, it would be my son). He would never hold back any little thing from us! NO WAY! All of the promises of God in Christ Jesus are Yes and Amen.
The Living Word of God in you, when it gets in the voice of your Spirit, do you know how it is in the voice of your Spirit? Because your mind will start to say something like…man I feel terrible, but the voice inside of you will say, “wait a minute, by His stripes I am healed”!
That’s the voice. That’s when it has got into the Spirit. Now when the Spirit gets a hold of that, then it’s just a simple matter of letting it come alive, to continue to believe god over what the enemy is saying. I am not talking about confession, name it and claim it. I am talking about letting it come alive in you. The streams of God will make you glad. You just have to let them.
If you are bitter and angry, forgive, just let it go. If you are fearful and troubled, let it go. Whatever spirit is causing you to fear and be troubled should be an indicator that you are not trusting God (the Living Word) in that area. Just Trust Him. That what He said He would do He will perform.
I want to do something now for you. We are going to let the Spirit move upon the face of these waters again. By the Spoken Word Lord. The finger of God will move in the lives of everyone here and touch that thing in them and cause it to come alive.
Father, I bless you. Holy Spirit of God now stirring in everyone under the sound of my voice or reading this. Lord I thank you that you always hear us. I thank you Lord, I know that you hear me. Lord I thank you that you always stand behind your Word to perform it. Lord for those right now I ask that you stir your Spirit and Your Word within them. That they won’t think of 20 or 30 different thing, but they’re going to focus and set their heart on that one thing. That one thing that you spoke to them and they heard it and they have never let it go. That they knew that you said it and that you’ll do it. It may move hell and may move all the demons of earth, but it will come to pass. Lord, I pray right now and release for the Spirit of God to move upon that Word in the Name of Jesus! Bless you Lord.
Say this with me, “Father I thank you. I know I’m your child, I know Jesus died for me and I know that by his death and his life I have been made righteous. You spoke your Word to me about the provisions of Jesus. I heard it, I received it and I said Lord let it be done unto me according to your Word. I stand here before you now as proof that your Word works and Lord you know the Word that is foremost in my thoughts. It is there because I believe you. I know you have spoken it and you know I’ve heard it and I know I have the petition that you desire. Therefore, according to Your Word that I have received, let it be done unto me and let your spirit move upon the face of these waters and cause life to come to your Holy word sown inside of me and let the voice of the Living Word declare IT IS FINISHED. In Jesus’ name.”
Turn to someone and say, “I’ve got it in Jesus name.” If you would, just stretch forth you hand over them and say to them. “I bless you. I know the Word of God is in you and it’s sharp, it’s quick, it accomplishes God’s work. I know you have received. I lock my agreement with you and that voice of God speaking inside of you. You are the delivered of the Lord. You are the restored of the Lord. No weapon forged against you will prosper but you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus. He dwells in you. You are a living Spirit. You are a life giving Spirit and out of you flows the issues of life. You were sent by God as a life giving Spirit and in you there is no darkness. You are full of light. There’s no sickness in you. There’s no disease in you. There’s no shadow of turning. You are more than a conqueror. You are an overcomer because the Word of God dwelling richly in you has made you whole, Spirit, Soul and Body in Jesus’ Name it is Finished!!!”
Glory, praise God, Hallelujah. Thank you Lord. You are worthy Lord. Bless you Lord. Let every man be a liar and let God be True!! I thank you for your fire. The Spirit of God has moved upon the face of these waters. Your Word has come to Life Lord. They are healed, set free, there is now vision, there’s goals, there’s direction, all to your glory Lord. Your word has now accomplished its purpose in them and has manifested the glory and accomplished the Glory you sent it to do. All glory, honor and praise.
