Hearts Ablaze Corner

This six part series is: The Flow. We’ll consider the River of God flowing within us, as is promised in John 7:37-38... 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. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, ‘out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Picture the River of God, needing space within us to operate. How do we make space in our being for this River? We'll talk about three things that help to "free up" space for the Holy Spirit to operate, or for the River of God to flow within us. These are: brokenness, dependence upon God and yieldedness. We have to be vigilant, making sure that we are not being distracted. We must not allow the enemy of our soul/the kingdom of darkness to oppress and deceive us, using rights we give them, wittingly or unwittingly, to occupy space meant only for the Holy Spirit. One sad result is that the flow is restricted and our lives tell the tale!
