IT’S ALIVE

By Rick Mathes

John 4:10 (NASB) ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

To thirst and to drink from the well of the Living Water can only be experienced by those the Holy Spirit inhabits. No one can adequately explain this to you; only a believer would sense and enjoy this refreshment. The Water of the Word gives life to a dead spiritual corpse in a powerful way that is not soon forgotten. The rush of His truth through our veins guarantees an eternal life in Him as oxygen does to our lungs in this moment of reflection and meditation on Living Water.

This surge of vitality is not a fleeting moment but rather an enduring lifetime that is overflowing in righteousness, good will and wholesome living that is pleasing to Jesus.

Indeed the well is deep and the water is endlessly waiting for us to explore in spirit and in truth.

Practically speaking, Hs Living Water is thirst removing; as we hunger and thirst for righteousness, this Living Water is always abundantly available at our finger tips.

It is also filth purging. There is no better way to do your spiritual laundry but to immerse your soul in the Psalms. They are your spiritual MRI and will disclose the real you, your essence.

There is a softening effect in anyone who soaks in this Living Water. A hardened heart will weaken and soon beat with His.

It guarantees your fire insurance because the Word puts out the flames of Hell and opens up a clear blue sky of hope and pleasant expectations.

Once this Living Water finds depth, it will fill you and overflow in living springs within you. The Holy Spirit knows just the right time to drop the bucket and draw up just the amount you need right at the moment you need it.

The fruit your tree of life produces will assure you and those around you that prayers and the mist of your praises bless the Lord and ascend into the highest places in glory. You can’t live without the Living Water surging up and heavenward in the depth of your soul, the Holy Well.
