John 7:37-39

Now I want to dig into this text. I want to talk about this living water, some of you may already be drinking it, some may still be looking for it. The most astonishing thing about this living water, it says in the bible it describes we will never thirst again. This got to be some good stuff, I believe if we get a hold of this we will be alright! Does that mean that I can get out there and play some basketball and never need a drink after getting some of this water? NO this is some specific type of water, you don’t have to go that for and get it! Unless you find that water that Peter pan has. If you do, let me know. I believe the bible was talking about a different type of water. I don’t think peter pan have this water. Let me bring up this Samaritan woman who came to draw some water from this well. Over in john 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her. If thou know-est the gift of God, and who it is that said to thee, give me a drink, thou would-est have ask of him, and he would have given thee living water. Skip down to verse 13 and 14 Jesus and said unto her whosoever drinketh of this water talking about the well water shall thirst again. Verse (14) but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, now that’s that water I’m talking about, that’s better than that Peter pan water. But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Let’s talk about that living water and how you get it. For some of you who got it shout hallelujah for the ones who don’t have it follow me. Yes, yes there are some conditions some conditions of receiving this living water.

#1) First you need to thirst, meaning to be eager craving, all consuming a passion for a complete union with God. Yes, you need to be thirsty, thirsty to the fact if as that you were in the desert and you will do any thing for a drink of it. That type of thirsty that Psalm 41:2 says. My soul thirsteth for God.

# 2).Come}, you got to come unto him, surrender your life to do the whole will, not some of will but all of the will. See over in Isaiah 55:1, every one that thiersteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money come ye, buy and eat ,come buy wine and milk without money and without price. See right there in Gods word he will bless you with some tangible substance if you come unto him. Matthew speaks in 11 28:30 come unto me all yee that Labor and are heavy, Take my yoke, for my yoke is Easy and my burdens are light.

#3) Drink} this means the whole hearted reception into ones life of the gifts, the fruit, and operations of the holy spirit. Just a earthly analogy. It doesn’t make sense to thirst after some water, go to the fridge and look at it. Really in the spiritual sense some of us do that. Example man these people are being blessed, how can I get the blessings there getting. Somebody say thirst. Well im thirsty for the blessings of the lord, what’s next! Somebody say come to him. Well I’ve been getting to church, I’ve been praying what’s next! Somebody say drink. Have I been operating in the holy spirit. I’m trying but I these people gone make the old me come out. Man the pastor want me to give all my money. Ill help but that’s too much serving for me. I'm still trying to help myself. Listen in Galations 5:22-23 IF you drink of the living water which is the fruit of the spirit. It should be love, joy, peace, long-suffering, and gentleness, faith, meekness and temperness. Drinking of the spirit is the same as partaking in son-ship. To act like a child of God ,to be like a child of God ,and to live like a child of God .

#4 Believe, Believe on me as the scripture has said. Believe and obey, believe the whole gospel, when you really only believe the bible says the believer will flow unlimited power to do the works of Christ. John 14:12 says we will do greater works than him. Look at the person next to you and say, you gotta believe in the product. Yes! You got to believe in the order. You got people in the streets that believe in there program. Than we believe in our God. What are you saying Minister Stiles, A hustler and a pimp believe so much in what they are doing. They are not paying attention to the cost if they get caught. How do you know that Minister? Because I used to be one of them. I believe if you do this, this is going to happen. Getting the money was the only option. Consequences didn’t play a factor. They got stuff now out on the market in these g.n.c stores five hr power lipo pills. People are spending hundreds of dollars to loose weight A lot of people don’t pay there tithes and believe in God
