Ps. 78:15; Rev. 22:17
“He split the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink in abundance like the depths. Vs.16 He also brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.”
And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. And whoever desire, let him take the water of life freely.
The first thing we know that this River of God’s Grace is full of water. (Psalm 65:9) The River of God speaks of God’s Grace flowing. The Water of life and revelation flow freely to whosoever thirst and desires of it. God brings out streams out of the Rock (Jesus) and overflows us.
The Purpose of the River of God:
1. It generates electricity (power) to give light and life. (spiritually)
2. It carries timber logs down the river. (direction, flow into destination)
3. It is creative – many paintings of rivers stir the creativity – The river of God in you has a creative life.
Why the River of God?
Firstly, its the River of God's Protection. Baby Moses was placed in the river (God’s protection) – Exo. 1:22 Pharoah had announced a decree to throw all new born male into to the Nile river. But Moses was placed by divine purposes and Pharoah’s daughter found it.
Secondly, Moses 1st plague – he was told to go to the river and turn into blood by his rod. For us The River of Life as we jump into it – it turns into the blood of Jesus that will cleanse us. I called it the River of Forgiveness. For the wicked it is the River of Death – when Moses touched the river frogs came out and judgment came upon it as it turned into blood.
Thirdly, because it is the River of Healing – In the River of Jordan Naaman told by Elijah to dip into the rivers a number of times until the answer comes. Our prayers are coming to us only when we come into the River of God soaking in it patiently and obediently.
Rev. 22:1 – Pure River of water of life – proceeds from the Grace Throne Room of God.
No wonder!
Fourthly, In Ezra 8:15-21 – The River of God brings Revelation to the people.
Ezra brought the people of God to the river that flows to Ahava. He found they were no Levites there. Levites were priesthood who minister to the Lord daily. They are closer than the priesthood at that time. Like Aaron they ministered to the Lord and received the revelation. We are called the royal priesthood today and because of the River of God – the bible says “out of your bellies shall flow Rivers of Living Waters.” Notice it is plural now "Rivers"!
John 7:38
Finally, in the last days, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying “If anyone thirsts,
let him come to Me and drink. Vs. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart (spirit man) will flow Rivers of Living Water.” This is the Rivers of God’s Gracious Grace that shall flows unstoppable. This is the hour we are living in and let us flow and float into it.
In these last days the Rivers of God’s Gracious Grace is flowing into the body of Christ with great impact, revelation after revelation, with great wisdom and knowledge, with power and might, blessings and Glory, and many more things that we desire and hunger for. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after God’s righteousness and grace for they (believers) shall be filled.
May the Gracious Grace of God's Rivers flow into your lives! Amen and Amen!
