Gushing Water

Scripture:

Isaiah 35:5-6  "Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.  Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue will shout for joy.  Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert".

Observation:

This is a part of a prophecy about God's people.  He speaks of a time when the reign and rule of God is in full control.  When God's kingdom comes in fullness, all are healed, joy springs forth, and water gushes forth in the wilderness.  He makes all things new!  When He is in full control, life is amazing.  In Ezekiel 47 God speaks about this river that springs forth in the desert and brings healing everywhere it goes and produces incredible fruit.

Application:

Isaiah and Ezekiel prophesy about a gushing forth of water in the wilderness and the desert blossoming like a rose.  In the Book of John, Jesus says that if we come to Him, springs of living water will gush forth from our inner-most being.  When we are truly under the reign and rule of God, our spirit will gush forth with living water and bring healing everywhere we go.  The river is in us, we must let it flow and unstop anything that has been stopping us up spiritually.

Prayer:

Father, I want living water to gush forth from my life and be a blessing to all around me.  Fill me to overflowing with Your Spirit and flow through my life.  Let your living water flow out of my life.  Show me areas that need to change to open up the river.  I want You to rule and reign over this region.

Yours Forever,
Jeff
