Tales of sacred, restorative waters
have existed for many years. We all remember Ponce de León and how he supposably found the Fountain of Youth. And Alexander the Great was said to have found a healing river in paradise in the fourth century B.C. During the Middle Ages, some Europeans even believed in the mythical man, Prester John the King, whose kingdom allegedly contained a fountain of youth and a river of gold. Of course - all of these stories are mythical renditions of what people want to see and believe. To have a water that restores life and brings health and prosperity would be absolutely amazing - but in this evil physical world, it is all just a dream. But in the spirit realm, there is such a thing. I invite you to read what Jesus said to a sinning woman who had been married to many different men... over and over again. In the Gospel of John, Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?” Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst again. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to live eternally.” John 4:10 “On the last and greatest day of the feast, John also recorded Jesus saying, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’” He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.” John 7:37-39 In the New Jerusalem, the place where God restores both Heaven and earth; the place where God and the Lamb, and all who love them dwell, there is a river that contains water that gives life eternally. “Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the main street of the city. And on either side of the river stands a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.” Revelation 22:1-2 It is the ministry of the Spirit, flowing out of a heart redeemed by God, that blesses believers and, through them, brings life and light to the world. Hallelujah!
