DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  JOHN 7:37-39

(37)  In the last day, that great day of the feast,  Jesus stood and cried, saying,  If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
(38)  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,  out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(39)  (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive:  for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)


RIVERS OF LIVING WATERS

Case in point, (37)  In the last day, that great day of the feast,  Jesus stood and cried, saying,  If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink  Brethren, Jesus was a Jew, descendant of King David, therefore, he celebrated all the feasts of the Jews as commanded in the law of Moses while on earth; on the last day of a feast of the tabernacles, refer to Leviticus 23:36;   Jesus stood up and spoke with a loud voice that anyone who was thirsty should come unto him for rivers of living water.

Jesus spoke about living waters in the text but was actually referring to the pureness of his spiritual attributes:  from creation spirits of the Father which moves on the waters has been the only source of human existence; through his spirit we are able to receive inspirations of wisdom, knowledge and understanding from the Father to do all things;  it is the same spirit that Jesus ministered through to humanity while on earth: in verse thirty-seven of this text, Jesus called humanity to come unto him to receive rivers of attributes and pureness of the Father through his spirits to impart unto humanity.


WORDS OF INSPIRATION:

Points to ponder,  let us study the following verse in segments;  (38)  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,  out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.  (i)    He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,  First of all, to believe in him, we have to know who he is and what the scriptures says about him; let us refer to the gospel of John Chapter 11:25,.Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. So Jesus is the resurrection and the life, we know who he is now; therefore, let us believe in him; if we do,  (ii) out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.  Secondly, Jesus said, if we believe in him, out of our bellies will flow rivers of living waters;  Jesus was referring to the source of all rivers from the Spirits of the Father within our innermost spirits, the one special source where all rivers of life originates will flow his spiritual powers and attributes through our lives to nourish all souls into salvation grace and life everlasting.

Fruits of thoughts, (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)  Believers, Jesus did not speak about physical usable rivers or streams of waters; but referred to fruits of the innermost pureness of spirits with attributes of the Father; in Galatians 5:22-23   But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,..Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.  Jesus, wanted to impart both his divinely and humanly attributes into his followers to impart unto other believers, unbelievers to receive salvation and eternity; for during his ministry, the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit (the comforter) had not yet been given unto believers; for Jesus was still alive on earth and had not completed his assignment yet or ascended unto heaven to receive glorification from the Father forevermore.


CONCLUSION:

Brethren,  today, we read about Christ's invitation to partake of his living waters; as believers, at times we feel dryness in our spirits; what do we do when we are spiritually thirsty?  First of all we have to get to the roots of our hearts; for the Holy Spirits resides in our hearts and ask ourselves, what is going on within our innermost spirits? where have we erred?  are we fellow shipping with the Lord enough? are we reading his words daily?  are we harboring any hurts and not forgiving our offenders?  All these points may cause spiritual dryness within our innermost spirits and we will lack springs of living waters within our souls; beloved, if we ever experience any dryness in spirit, the true living water is Christ, both his divinely and humanly attributes are available through the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit; let us ask for more spiritual anointing of the Holy Spirit; and receive flows of living waters with attributes of the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
