Being Opened for the Flow of the Holy Spirit 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses (RcV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John 7:37  Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, 
Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let 
him come to Me and drink. (38)  He who believes into Me, as 
the Scripture said, out of his innermost being shall flow 
rivers of living water.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
…Others may tell you, "You have to be a channel of living 
water. You should be one with the Holy Spirit so that the 
living water – the Holy Spirit – can flow into you." 
However, a channel has two ends. This channel of the Holy 
Spirit, this channel of life, also has two ends. One end is 
toward the Holy Spirit, toward life, and toward the Lord, 
while the other end is toward man. The living water will 
never flow if the end toward man is closed. No one can be so 
wrong as to assume that just opening to the Lord is enough. 
The living water does not flow through those who are opened 
just to the Lord. One end must be opened to the Lord, and 
the other end must be opened to man. The living water will 
flow out only when both ends are opened. Many people are 
powerless before God because the end toward the Lord is not 
open. But many more people are powerless because the end for 
witnessing and leading others to Christ is closed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Prayer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord Jesus, You are still calling the thirsty ones to come 
to You and drink. Lord, bring some of them to Yourself 
through me. For this, Lord, open me fully, not only to 
receive the living water from You, but also to flow out to 
others through my witnessing. Amen.
