Rivers of Living Water

Jesus referred to this experience as “rivers of living water” that can flow with force and favor inside the believer. Dr. Jowett said, “The river is the minister of quickening, and everything it touches lifts its head in an access of refreshing life.”¹⁵ In his book, The Key to Triumphant Living, Jack Taylor said:

            A river is involuntary; it doesn’t have to try.

            A river is unselfish and available to all wherever it goes.

            A river is the picture of confidence and power and doesn’t have to babble like a brook!

            A river is consistent and keeps on moving. You never have to prod it.

            A river is a picture of constant cleansing. Cast pollution in it, and it will sweep it away.

            A river is a symbol of courage. Put obstacles in front of it and it will overwhelm them.

            A river speaks of power. It runs factories and turns on lights all over the world.

            You don’t have to plead for a river to flow. You can’t “program” a river to stop its flow. 
            You don’t have to map its direction. It will make its own way.
