Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams
of living water will flow from within him."
John 7:38
Eighth in my living water series of images Living Water
Praise presents the power of the living water of Christ which lives in the
hearts and minds of those who live by faith and not by sight. In my own life
there are times when streams of living water flows from my heart. During these
times my heart encourages the word of God as the root of the stream of living
water. It is in the image of Christ that by grace it becomes the flow necessary
to usher in the Holy Spirit in the garment of praise.
As African American men in a American culture that
assimilates to find issue with us there is good news for us. The good news is the living water of
Christ. It is in that good news that He who created us presents us with the
opportunity to drink from the living water. It is in this process that we find
great success in living out the glory of God concerning our lives. Through
faith the living water becomes such a great life force that it begins to shut
off the cycle of fear, hatred, discrimination, death ,poverty and the likes of
that separate us from ministering to the lives of our wives , children ,family
and community. This day it is necessary for us to choose who we will serve in
order for us and our seeds to live. Amen
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till
the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will
expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise
from God I Corinthians 4:5
