Title: The Promise of Living Waters Flowing Out of You
Text:
John 7:37-39 (ESV)
37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'"
39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Observation:
What do we need most in our world today? Think about the promise of our text. O Yes, what Jesus said makes me thirst. Do you thirst for rivers of living water flowing out of you?
John 7:38 (AMP)
38 He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water.
It's not enough to just pray for the Lord's blessings; we must obey. Do we have any believers and doers of the Word in the house? If so, carry your umbrellas today because the Lord will send showers of blessings from the lives of those who trust and obey Him.
There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.

Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I ask that You would open the windows of heaven and pour out Your blessings; rain on us Lord, send us a down pouring of blessings. Lord, bless us like you promised rain to Your people of old; bless us today with an outpouring of Your Spirit.
O Lord, You know how we need showers of living water poured out on our land in these last days. Father, have Your way in my life. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Zechariah 10:1 (ESV)
1 Ask rain from the LORD in the season of the spring rain, from the LORD who makes the storm clouds, and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field.

5 Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Psalm 119:11 (ESV)
