Sermon based on John 4:13-14; John 7:37-39
John 4
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
John 7
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”[c] 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
You have heard of "eat, pray, love"? How about "drink, fill, bless"? Listen to Rev Reuben distinguish between the very first time when one receives the Holy Spirit (Jn 4: well springing up to eternal life, Jn 20) and being continually filled with the Spirit (Jn 7: bellies flowing rivers of living water, Acts 2). He then encourages us to drink so as to be filled, and via the overflow become a vessel to bless and touch others.
Friends, do not pray for revival to happen, because it already has!
