... Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. ..John 7:37-39
Citizens of the New Kingdom have the Holy Spirit flowing like living waters through us. Living waters is not 'still' water; it is not stagnant water; it is a flowing, living stream. The Holy Spirit is alive in the believer and as he flows in us and through us, he makes the dry, parched ground of our lives fertile and full of life.
King Jesus invites all who are thirsty to go to him and drink from this living water. We drink from this living water when we believe and accept our King. This belief gives us a new birth into his New Kingdom and it allows the Holy Spirit to flow like living waters in and through us.
