Power Of Living Water

Water Crystal

Key Scripture: “ He that believes in me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” John 7:38

Power Point:

Water, water, everywhere! I was reminded yesterday of the study on water done by a Japanese scientist.  His research studied how words affect the perfect formation of water crystals. I’ve shared this before but I think it might be important to share it again. He did a study where he filled two bottles with water and set them in his lab. On one battle was the label, “ugly”. The other one was labeled “beautiful”. Whenever someone passed by they were to follow his directions. One bottle never heard anything good and one never heard anything bad. The water that only heard bad things was never able to form beautiful water crystals. I guess you could say that it never became living water. The water that only heard the good things was able to become what it was supposed to be.  It lived.

You know where I’m going with this, right? God is interested in pulling out the treasure in people so that can fulfill their promise in Him. We speak the words that He uses to water people’s lives.  Yours are the words that are to always be seasoned with His grace. Your words are never to be idle but to be effective to empower someone else as well as yourself. Since we are roughly 75% water, this study has real benefits for us as believers. Years ago I would tell myself things like: “You’ll never get this!” or “How could you be so stupid!”. Those words could effectively shut the door on any faith that was trying to grow inside me. Then I began to get to know the Real Word, the Living Truth and to listen to what He said about me. What a life change! He watered His word with His own kindness and goodness and the bad seeds I had planted are now much diminished.

If we’re going to be transformed into Truth we need to know what it is don’t we? That’s a key reason to spend a lot of time with Him, finding out what The Truth really says to us and about us.

It’s the only way that Living Water will begin to flow out of you and water the lives of others.

If you can picture a parched person and someone pouring a bottle of fresh clean water into them and what effect that has on their bodies. Then imagine a spiritually thirsty person who needs you to water them with Gods living water today. How would that look?

Got your watering can ready?
