River of Life: Part III

I am the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
“The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it”
(1 Cor. 10:26 NIV).

These words from a song that was popular back in the 1990’s came to mind …

There’s A River of Life flowing out from Me,
Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.
Opens prison doors, sets the captives free,
There’s a River of Life flowing out through Me.

That River of Life Is Me. I am the river that flows out from you for I am in you. The more you open yourself to My Spirit within you, the more you will see that river flow; Living Waters that bring life to all those around you.

When you see, truly see, it is not your doing, it is Mine, a freedom will come to you to just flow with Me.

I want to touch so many with my love and compassion. I choose to work through you, My people. I have chosen to work through you, to limit Myself, so that you will see what it is to be a child of Mine, a child of God, made in My image.

“So, in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith”
(Gal 3:26. NIV).

This was My original intent. This is what was stolen when sin entered the world. I bought you back with the sacrifice of My Son. All the debt of sin is paid, finished, kaput. (Merriam Webster dictionary: utterly finished, defeated or destroyed.)

“He cancelled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—He deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved!” (Col. 2:14 TPT).

I want to see you, My children, walk in the freedom given by My Son. You have been chained down by the lies of the enemy, by the belief that it all depends on you. This is why fear comes in, doubt and unbelief. You cannot do it without Me, but with Me, seeing it is Me, My River of Living Water flowing from you, anything is possible.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” (Gal. 5:1 NIV).

The enemy of your soul keeps you locked in a place of thinking it’s up to you. No! If you but focus on Me, your Saviour, the lover of your soul, instead of on yourself, you will see everything change.

It is never too late. I use every situation to grow you, to mature you into My likeness. All I need is your ‘Yes’ to Me. All I need is your submission to My Lordship. As you see it is Me in you who does the work, you will be set free into a place of joy that you have not previously known.

“Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], ‘If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water'” (Jn. 7:37-38 AMP).
