Peace in Christ.

While we have the light (within our very own hearts), we are to believe in the light.

That light within our very own hearts is the witness of God of His Son whom we are to hear. It is the "sign of the Son of man" within our hearts. We who believe in what we hear Him saying are then to become children of light towards the people of the outside world.

Joh 12:36 KJV
(36) While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

We are then to be the light of the world. We are the “city” set upon a hill which cannot be hid. The outside world who are in deep darkness will see His light shining in us and will come to His light.

Mat 5:14 KJV

(14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

It is also described as a “pure river of water of life”….clear…that is, RADIANT…as crystal. The water of life that SHINES clear as crystal…as it proceeds out of the throne of God and of the Lamb both of whom resides in us ...His believing people.

Rev 22:1 KJV
(1) And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

When we shall believe on Him who interprets the Scriptures via the Spirit of Truth, OUT of our belly shall flow rivers of living water.

The Spirit shall flow out of us (who are like fountains/wells bubbling up and overflowing with His Spirit) and will go towards the “desert”….the outside people of this world who are parched and are living in deep darkness.

Joh 7:37-39 KJV
(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.
(38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

(39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

We are the “temple of His body” that the Spirit shall “issue out” of and will go into the “desert” and into the “sea”…the outside people of this world who are sitting in deep darkness.

Wherever the living waters shall flow to that lives and moves (swarms to us) shall be healed. They will rejoice in our presence where God resides/tabernacles as His river shall flow from out of us to them and they (who are saved among them) shall rejoice. They will "move" or swarm to us with rejoicing in their hearts as the river of God will flow from out of us and into them. This happens to them by merely being in our presence.

Eze 47:8-9 KJV

(8) Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

There will be a very great multitude of fish….the people on the outside…that shall be healed. It will be a great harvest of fish.

(9) And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

But those who the Spirit does not “move” shall not be healed….they shall be given to “salt”…that is, powder.

Eze 47:11 KJV
(11) But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

They shall be utterly wasted as they will not serve us (as God resides in us).

Isa 60:12 KJV
(12) For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

He shall rule them (the nations that will not serve us) with a rod of iron and they shall broken to shivers as vessels of a potter.

Rev 2:26-27 KJV
(26) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

(27) And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

But those among the outside world who will receive the living water that will flow out of us to their "desert" hearts will rejoice and will serve us with joy and praise of our God who tabernacles within us. They will live.

Isa 60:5-6 KJV
(5) Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

(6) The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.

God pours out His Spirit upon all FLESH.

Act 2:16-18 KJV
(16) But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

First He pours out His Spirit upon us His people....OUR sons and our daughters...our young men...our old men.

(17) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

And He also pours out His Spirit upon the “servants and handmaidens” who are the people of the outside world. They will come to our light (the flowing river of God) and will take of it. They will serve Him/us.

(18) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

The “strangers” shall be joined with us. They…the believers of the people of the outside world (the nations)…shall cleave to us.

Isa 14:1-2 KJV
(1) For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

They shall be then “servants and handmaids” to His people.

(2) And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.


Isa 44:3 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 thine offspring:
