High-Flow

Rivers flow, stream flow, and even electricity flows. To me, the word “flow,” creates images of direction of movement that is calm, and maybe even peaceful. One thing that I know for sure, is that anything that is flowing, has to have a cause: something flowing into it as its source, right? Otherwise, the river or stream would stop flowing and dry up.

This same truth is applicable to us as well. So in order for something to flow out of us, we need to have something flowing into us. Let’s skip over the gross body talk about flow, and let’s focus on our hearts and minds, and dare to ask ourselves the question: What is flowing through you? What flows out of you is directly related to what is flowing into you. And when it comes to our spiritual lives, there can only be one source: the Bible.

Most everyone knows “about” the Bible, but not as many “know” the Bible. If you desire the things of God to flow through you, then you must be filling yourself up with the things of God, makes sense, right? What are you watching on TV? What are you reading? What are you letting flow into your heart and mind?

John 4:13-14 (NIV)
¹³ Jesus answered, "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."

So here is the source that never dries up, never runs out, never leaves us wanting more…AWESOME!!! Finally, a source that is constant. A source that is trustworthy and pure. A source that if it flows into me, it can flow through me. Do you want to be a person of God, where God flows through you, or just one who knows about Him? The difference between knowing and flowing is all in how often are you drinking from the source, because, one drink a week won’t do… Open His Word often and with the intent of letting it flow into you so it might be the first thing that flows out of you.
