if we want to live an abundant life...

john 7:37-39

37 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.

38 whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said, 'out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'"

39 now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

1. manifest a desire that is fierce.

a burning thirst
a gnawing hunger
daily searching

for what?

God.

2. maintain a devotion that is full.

deny self,
let God work.

dying daily.

absolute devotion.

less of self,
more of God.

be ye holy, for I am holy.

holiness is not the path to God--
God is the path to holiness.

3. drink in faith

take God at his word.
accept.
put head knowledge of God
into
heart knowledge.

put practice of words
into
practice in our lives.

if we do these things, there will be an outward flow of God.
we will become fountains of God's truth.

i chalenge you.

become a fountain of God full-to-overflowing with his goodness.
