“Anyone who has not seen this water ceremony has never seen rejoicing in his life”

6. “For I will pour out water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, and My blessing on your descendants”
Isaiah 44:3

7. “If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
Now on the last day, the day of the great feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying,
“If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.”
But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Your Personal Transformation
“In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation-having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,” Ephesians 1:13
“For God has not given us a spirit of timidity (fear, cowardice), but one of power, love, and sound judgment” Timothy 1:7
Courage is not the absence of fear… it is the absence of self.

9. Your Transition to other Persons
(…from your innermost being will flow rivers of living water)
Relieve someone’s pain
Lift someone’s burden
Bring someone hope
Bring encouragement and refreshment
Tell someone the truth
Reach someone’s soul
Release the captives
The Holy Spirit has an audience waiting for you
to pour out living water to their situation!
