How is the Holy Spirit like rivers of living water? The Holy Spirit is like rivers of living water in that God slakes our thirst, for knowlege, for Love, and for forgiveness. Water is necessary for physical life to survive, as surely as belief in, and teaching of, the word of our Lord is necessary for spritual existance.  Those that follow Jesus and spread his teachings will be like rivers of living water also, as they spread the Word.

How is the Holy Spirit like rivers of living water? May God grant me peace. Praise God in His omnipotent mercy to give us on earth such special followers of Christ.  To hold rivers a person must be very peaceful within and without.  Grace of the Three Persons of the Trinity is necssary, of course.  Notice that Jesus said      rivers not river, singular.  Well, obviously it would not make a difference if we could imagine a natural body being an outlet for one river or several rivers.  There would be a great deal of water. I interpret then that several rivers might run from a people bodies.  Perhaps one person might have one river, and another person might have three rivers. Let me explain at this point what I see as being living waters.  Jesus is life.  Waters give refreshment and growth and life.  By: Ken Cravens - January 22, 2008 - Public Category: Is Jesus the Christ?

How is the Holy Spirit like rivers of living water? Because those who accept Jesus Christ into their hearts and have been forgiven. And ask the heavenly father to give them the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives inside the that person as living water. Every day you should pray that God gives you the Holy Spirit to guide you in your daily life. Praise the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus stood and cried out,"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water." Jesus is Lord! Amen! By: Al Benavides - January 22, 2008 - Public Category: Is Jesus the Christ?

How is the Holy Spirit like rivers of living water? I think that the Holy Spirit is like rivers of living water because He grants us rest at night, renews our spirits anew every morning, and gives us a new day full of positive possibilities. Also,we are sustained,comforted and consoled daily. It is written that outside we are wasting away, but inside we are being renewed every day.

How is the Holy Spirit like rivers of living water? The question is frequently asked: "Who is the Holy Spirit, and what relation does He bear to God and to Christ?"  The early disciples knew the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity. The Father is always first, the Son second, and the Spirit third. The terms Father and Son express an eternal, reciprocal relation. The Spirit is the infinite "breath" of God, as the Son is His infinite "Word."  We may understand the relation and office of the Father,the Son, and the Holy Spirit by analyzing our own mind and its apparent subdivisions during thought action, because each one of us is a perfect copy in miniature, an image and likeness, of the great universal first cause--Being.  The source of all my manifestations is my mind. This source is exactly like the Father--is the Father in degree. An idea arises in my mind of something that I want to do; this idea is the Son. I express that idea in definite thought; that is Spirit going forth to accomplish that where to I have sent it.  The Father is Principle. The Son is Principle revealed in a creative plan. The Holy Spirit is the executive power of both Father and Son, carrying out the creative plan.  Thus we might also say that Father is Being in the absolute, the unlimited, the unrelated. Son is the I AM identity of Being. Holy Spirit is the personality of Being. In its last analysis, Holy Spirit is the personality of God. The Holy Spirit is neither the all of Being nor the fullness of Christ, but is an emanation, or breath, sent forth to do a definite work. Thus circumscribed, He may be said to take on, in a sense, the characteristics of personality, a personality transcending in its capacity the concept of the intellectual man.  The Holy Spirit is designated in Scripture as personality and as not always existing for the consciousness of humanity in uniform degree. The mission of Jesus was to open the way for the Holy Spirit to enter into the minds of men. "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me."  "Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you. And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment."  The function of the Holy Ghost, or Spirit of truth, implies distinct personal subsistence: He speaks, searches, selects, reveals, reproves, testifies, leads, comforts, distributes to every man, "searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."  What writers of the old Testament a scribe to Jehovah, the writers of the New Testament a scribe to the Holy Spirit. (Compare Isa. 6:9 with Acts 28:25, and Jer. 31:31-34 with Heb. 10:15; see Acts 5:3, 4.)  The Holy Spirit is the law of God in action; in that action He appears as having individuality. From this fact the Hebrews got their concept of the personal, tribal God, Jehovah. Their prophets and mystics came into conscious mental touch with this executive law giver of God, and He used them as the mouth pieces through which He guided and directed His people. Adam talked to Him as Jehovah God. In this we understand that by means of the harmony and perfectness of the sinless man's mind, he was always conscious of the omnipresent Holy Spirit. Discord had not entered his innocent world--he was in the Eden of infancy. The desire for independent experience entered his mind; he began to get knowledge from experimenting blindly with the powers of Being, and in so doing severed the connection between his mind and the mind of the Holy Spirit.  Then the Holy Spirit found other means of communicating with men, the most common being the visions of the night,or dreams. "And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream."  The Bible records a long line of prophets, mystics, and dreamers, who for thousand of years communicated the word of the Holy Spirit to the people. Jacob "dreamed," and"behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven . . . And, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father,and the God of Isaac . . . And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whither so ever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land."  Joseph dreamed, and he interpreted the dreams of others. Solomon was instructed by the Lord in dreams.  Daniel prophesied through instruction received from the Lord in dreams. Joseph the husband of Mary, was instructed in dreams, and he saved the life of the young child Jesus by following the warnings given him in this way. Peter had visions of the night. "And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace." "And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer: for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome."  The Children of Israel depended upon the Holy Spirit to guide and direct them, and from Genesis to Revelation the Bible is filled with incidents bearing testimony to the direct and personal interest of the Holy Spirit in the affairs of men.  Jesus Christ, the resurrected Adam, reconnected man with the Lord, opening the way by which man might at any time enjoy that communion with his Creator which he had had in the Edenic state, before his season of experimenting had begun.  Jesus prayed much by Himself and spent long hours in silent communion with God. Those who have even in a slight degree opened the Christ consciousness in themselves, so that it flows forth and recognizes the universal Mind, can readily understand that Jesus was in the silence with God, getting the power and wisdom necessary to do His work. The normal condition of man is one of opened inner communion, such as was enjoyed by Jesus, a condition in which he can say of every thought and word: "The word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me."  It is the mission of the Holy Spirit to bring all men and all women into this open communion; but it is a difficult attainment. "And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not." He who is buried in sense limitations must find the way out of them into the place where the light shines in the light and man perceives it clearly. It is the mission of the Holy Spirit so to guide man in order that man will not mistake the way into that light or wander off into the darkness of the many delusive by paths of mortal sense.   The Holy Spirit comes to men in this day, as in the past, and reveals to them in various ways how to overcome the erroneous states of consciousness that they have evolved, or in which they are cast through association. A higher and more far seeing guide than mere intellect is necessary, and that guide has been provided in the Holy Spirit. By: LEE AVANT - January 22, 2008 - Public Category: Is Jesus the Christ?
