Let it flow........

"Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." John 4:14 Love, Joy, Patience, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance. All of these are powerful forces the Bible calls the fruit of the Spirit. They are the character traits of God Himself and when the Holy Spirit came to dwell in you, He brought them with Him so they could become your character traits too. They are designed to bubble up inside you, to gush forth like a powerful stream constantly protecting and cleansing you from the inside out. Have you ever noticed that you can't put any trash in the mouth of a flowing fountain? When it's shooting the water up, the force of it's own outflow protects it and keeps it clear of any impurities from the outside. Well, the spiritual fountain in you works the same way. When you are allowing the forces of love, joy, peace and gentleness and all the others to flow out, the devil can't get any of his junk in you. How do you keep the Spirit flowing? You pump your heart so full of the Word of God that the forces of eternal life start bubbling out. Just a little at first....and then stronger and higher. Choose to keep those forces streaming out of the fountain of your heart. Refuse to let selfishness and sin stop the flow. You have a fountain filled with unbeatable LIFE forces inside you and it's ready to come forth. Let it flow! God Bless! Randall
