LET IT FLOW…
Whosoever drinketh of the water
that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall
give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting
life. – John 4:14
Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Gentleness. Goodness. Faith. Meekness. Temperance.
Powerful forces the Bible calls the fruit of the Spirit. They’re the
character traits of God Himself and when the Holy Spirit came to dwell
in you, He brought them with Him, so they could become your character
traits too.
They’re designed to bubble up
inside you, to gush forth like a powerful stream constantly protecting
and cleansing you from the inside out.
Have you ever noticed that you
can’t put any trash in the mouth of a flowing fountain? When it’s
shooting that water up, the force of its own outflow protects it and
keeps it clear of any impurities from the outside. Well, the spiritual
fountain within you works the same way. When you’re allowing the forces
of love and joy and peace and gentleness and all the others to flow out,
the devil can’t get any of his junk in.
How do you keep the Spirit
flowing? You pump your heart so full of the Word of God that the forces
of eternal life start bubbling out. Just a little at first…and then
stronger and higher.
Choose to keep those forces
streaming out of the fountain of your heart. Refuse to let selfishness
and sin stop the flow. You have a fountain filled with unbeatable LIFE
forces inside you and it’s ready to come forth. Let it flow!
