Isaiah 44:3-4 KJV
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy offspring: 4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
John 7:37
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
Good evening Bethel family,
I was praying this morning and I heard the words of a song, “It’s beginning to rain, hear the voice of the Father. I will pour out my Spirit on your sons and your daughters.” There is something really beautiful taking place in the Spirit realm for whoever is thirsty and dry, they can come and drink and be filled.
In the scriptures above, Isaiah was prophesying to the people of Israel a promise of renewal, of great blessings. It was a message of comfort that restoration would come and the Holy Spirit would be poured out, not just on them, but also on the generations to come. He said I will deliberately and generously pour out a gusher of life-giving sustenance upon all who are thirsty for more of Him. That they would be filled to over-flowing. In John 7 Jesus is inviting any man that is thirsty to come and drink, to be filled with His Spirit. It's an invitation to come to Him in your time of need. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. He loves every man, woman and child. He has what we have need of. Bring your burdens to the Lord and leave them there. Give it all to Him and He will make a way where there doesn't seem to be a way. He is our way-maker.
The prophesy in Joel 2:28 was manifested on the day of Pentecost. In Acts 2:16 Peter was talking about the Holy Spirit being poured out upon all flesh. He said: But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel.
Beloved, if you’re thirsty and dry, if you need a touch from the Lord, if you need a healing, as the song goes, " just lift your hands to the sky, it’s beginning to rain". He will fill you to over-flowing and you will thirst no more. He’s our life-giver, our rain-maker, our joy-bringer, our healer and I love the Lord with all my heart. I pray that you all have great joy and shalom peace. God bless you abundantly!
