BAPTISMThe Holy Spirit = Living Water MATTHEW 3: 11 "I [John the Baptist] baptise you with WATER for repentance. But after me will come one [Jesus] who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT and with FIRE. MARK 1: 6-8 6 John [the Baptist] wore clothing made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And this was his message: "After me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I baptize you with WATER, but he will baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT." LUKE 3: 16John answered them all, "I baptize you with WATER. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT and with FIRE. JOHN 1: 29-3429 The next day John [the Baptist] saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one I meant when I said, 'A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel."32 Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33 I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with WATER told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the HOLY SPIRIT.' 34 I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God." JOHN 7: 37-3937... Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "IF ANYONE IS THIRSTY, LET HIM COME TO ME AND DRINK. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, STREAMS OF LIVING WATER will flow from within him." 39 BY THIS HE MEANT THE SPIRIT, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. "ALL WHO ARE THRISTY" BY ROBIN MARK 1 CORINTHIANS 12: 1313 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free-and we were all given the ONE SPIRIT TO DRINK. JOHN 4: 7, 10, 13-15JESUS TALKS WITH A SAMARITAN WOMAN7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?".... 10 "If you knew the GIFT OF GOD and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you LIVING WATER.".... 13 "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but WHOEVER DRINKS THE WATER I GIVE HIM WILL NEVER THIRST. Indeed, THE WATER I GIVE HIM WILL BECOME IN HIM A SPRING OF WATER WELLING UP TO ETERNAL LIFE." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water." JOHN 6:3535 Then JESUS declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER BE THIRSTY. Isaiah 55: 1-3Invitation to the Thirsty 1 "COME, ALL YOU WHO ARE THIRSTY, COME TO THE WATERS; and you who have NO MONEY, come, buy and eat! Come, BUY wine and milk WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT COST. 2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. 3 GIVE EAR AND COME TO ME; HEAR ME, THAT YOUR SOUL MAY LIVE. Acts 1: 1-9Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven 1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with WATER, but in a few days you will be baptized with the HOLY SPIRIT."6 So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES ON YOU; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.REVELATION 7: 16-1716 Never again will they hunger; never again will they THIRST. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. 17 For THE LAMB [JESUS] at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to SPRINGS OF LIVING WATER. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." "LIVING WATER" BY NARNIA (CHRISTIAN ROCK) REVELATION 21: 5-75 He who was seated on the throne [GOD] said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, the BEGINNING AND THE END. TO HIM WHO IS THIRSTY I WILL GIVE TO DRINK WITHOUT COST FROM THE SPRING OF THE WATER OF LIFE. 7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. REVELATION 22: 1-3, 17THE RIVER OF LIFE1 Then the angel showed me the RIVER OF THE WATER OF LIFE, as CLEAR AS CRYSTAL, FLOWING FROM THE THRONE OF GOD AND OF THE LAMB 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the TREE OF LIFE, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And THE LEAVES OF THE TREE ARE FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS. 3 No longer will there be any curse....17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" WHOEVER IS THIRSTY, LET HIM COME; AND WHOEVER WISHES, LET HIM TAKE THE FREE GIFT OF THE WATER OF LIFE. EZEKIEL 47 : 1-12 (New Living Translation)THE RIVER OF HEALING 1 In my vision, the man brought me back to the entrance of the Temple. There I saw A STREAM FLOWING EAST FROM BENEATH THE DOOR OF THE TEMPLE AND PASSING TO THE RIGHT OF THE ALTAR ON ITS SOUTH SIDE. 2 The man brought me outside the wall through the north gateway and led me around to the eastern entrance. There I could see THE WATER FLOWING OUT THROUGH THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE EAST GATEWAY.3 Measuring as he went, he took me along the stream for 1,750 feet and then led me across. The water was up to my ankles. 4 He measured off another 1,750 feet and led me across again. This time the water was up to my knees. After another 1,750 feet, it was up to my waist. 5 Then he measured another 1,750 feet, and the river was too deep to walk across. It was deep enough to swim in, but too deep to walk through.6 He asked me, "Have you been watching, son of man?" Then he led me back along the riverbank. 7 When I returned, I was surprised by the sight of MANY TREES GROWING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER. 8 Then he said to me, "This river flows east through the desert into the valley of the Dead Sea. THE WATERS OF THIS STREAM WILL MAKE THE SALTY WATERS OF THE DEAD SEA FRESH AND PURE. 9 THERE WILL BE SWARMS OF LIVING THINGS WHEREVER THE WATER OF THIS RIVER FLOWS. Fish will abound in the Dead Sea, for its waters will become fresh. LIFE WILL FLOURISH WHEREVER THIS WATER FLOWS. 10 Fishermen will stand along the shores of the Dead Sea. All the way from En-gedi to En-eglaim, the shores will be covered with nets drying in the sun. Fish of every kind will fill the Dead Sea, just as they fill the Mediterranean.] 11 But the marshes and swamps will not be purified; they will still be salty. 12 FRUIT TREES of all kinds will GROW ALONG BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER. THE LEAVES of these trees WILL NEVER TURN BROWN AND FALL, and there will always be FRUIT on their branches. There will be A NEW CROP EVERY MONTH, for they are WATERED BY THE RIVER FLOWING FROM THE TEMPLE. THE FRUIT WILL BE FOR FOOD and THE LEAVES FOR HEALING." DANIEL 7: 9-10 (New Living Translation) 9 I watched as thrones were put in place and THE ANCIENT ONE sat down to judge. His clothing was as white as snow, his hair like purest wool. He sat on a FIERY THRONE with wheels of blazing fire, 10 and a RIVER OF FIRE WAS POURING OUT, FLOWING FROM HIS PRESENCE. Millions of angels ministered to him; many millions stood to attend him. Then the court began its session, and the books were opened. ISAIAH 44: 33 For I will pour 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. "HEALING RAIN" BY MICHAEL W SMITH JEREMIAH 2: 1313 "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the SPRING OF LIVING WATER, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.JEREMIAH 17:1313 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the LORD, the SPRING OF LIVING WATER. "LET IT RAIN" - MICHAEL W SMITH "LET IT RAIN" - REMIX
