Overflow is Coming Back INTRODUCTION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Good morning everyone… Thankyou for coming today…. Our prayer for you today, is that you will experience God’s Presence like never before. . !!! I have a specific prophetic message again to share with you today…. THUS: I want to start with the following words 7. The reason why there is so many places in the bible referring to Water – is because water is a Prophetic symbol of the Spirit. . Like Water has NO Form or Colour – and so it is with the Spirit The Spirit isn’t the unseen – it is the SEE THROUGH Like Water – when it is clear – you can see right through it… And thus: You have to practice in the Spirit to see the Spirit realm – to See God, and Jesus, and the angels, etc… The other quality about water is – that it will only keep the form that you placed it in for a certain amount of time And again – the same with the Spirit – it will only keep its Form – while it is in a particular “body” Thereafter it will go back to the Spirit Pool where it came from – which is God Himself THUS: God knew exactly what He is doing when He gives visions about water from the beginning of time – as He wanted to reveal some truths to us about the Spirit And the same with Jesus – He didn’t say the following just to sound clever or smart or something, He knew exactly why He said what He said, and the prophetic meaning behind what He said… 6. There is a RIVER – whose streams make Glad the City of God 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Joh 4: 6 -7 Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink. " 18. Joh 4: 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria? " (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. ) 19. Joh 4: 10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and Who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink, ' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water. " 1
Overflow is Coming Back 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. INTRODUCTION Now Living Waters in Hebrew – means – Waters that are running freely from a Source like a Fountain – and becomes a river at some point NOW: in Joh 4 Jesus and the Simaritan woman are standing at a Well – from where they had to bring the water up from below the earth – thus – it wasn’t seen as Living Water… THUS: the reason for the amazement of the Samaritan Woman – wondering why would “this Jew” ask her for water to drink from the well – if He wanted to give her “Living Water”… THUS: Obviously Jesus was referring to something else… Which is: The Spirit…!!! Joh 4: 11 -12 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock. " Joh 4: 13 Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty forever. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. " Then in John 7 – on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles – Jesus suddenly stood up and said: Joh 7: 37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. '" 10. Joh 7: 39 Now this He said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified 11. Let’s look also at Acts 1 – just before Jesus ascended into heaven some of His last words were: 12. Act 1: 2 -3 until the day when He was taken up, after He had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He had chosen. To them He presented Himself alive after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. 13. Act 1: 4 -5 And while staying with them He ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. " 2 14. Which we know was on the day of Pentecost – 10 days after His ascension
Overflow is Coming Back INTRODUCTION 1. Then in Revelation 1 – note how the Apostle John describes Jesus when he saw Him – and in particular the Voice of Jesus: 2. Rev 1: 12 -15 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden 3. 4. 5. 6. lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters. Rev 1: 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. Rev 1: 17 -18 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, " Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. ” 7. He is the LIVING ONE – and His VOICE is like the ROAR of Many Waters !!! Like The Living Waters Jesus Mentioned in Joh 4 & Joh 7 – He was referring to Himself as being the SOURCE of the Spirit – and that He Lives by the Spirit – where it will become Rivers – of LIFE…!!! Jesus tried to explain it also to the Disciples in John 6: 8. Joh 6: 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is of no avail. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit 9. And in 2 Cor 3 – Paul writes and life. 10. 2 Cor 3: 17 -18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. 11. THUS: I want to encourage you to prepare yourself, and expectantly receive the Holy Spirit into your life today – Receive Him with all the Blessings He brings… As He is eager to Bless you today. . !!! 3
Overflow is Coming Back 1. INTRODUCTION 5. 6. Why I’m saying this – is because I want to share with you a Vision I saw on Sunday morning, which I knew afterwards that it was for you as the Church in Siyabuswa: I saw Jesus standing in a River – and as I looked at Him, I realised – that He wasn’t just standing in a River – He IS the River… AND: The River was running FROM Him…He was the source of the waters And then I saw the waters rushing up to me – and as it reached me – I was cleansed from all kinds of stuff. I felts Darkness left me, and oppressing spirits lifted…etc… But not just that – I also saw that everything (food, money, clothes, etc) that felt like it was “drying up” in my life till that moment – are being restored as the waters flooded over me, and that LIFE was coming back again… And I just felt this Revelation hitting me… Overflow is Coming Back. . !!! Then later I read Revelation 22 – and saw where the Apostle John describes the River as follows: 7. Rev 22: 1 -3 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne 2. 3. 4. 8. 9. of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; (the new Jerusalem) also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. Rev 22: 13 -14 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. ” Rev 22: 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come. " And let the one who hears say, "Come. " And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. (Isa 55) 4
Overflow is Coming Back 1. 2. INTRODUCTION Then Ps 46 – which I quoted for you earlier - echoed in my mind… THUS: NOW: Let me read you the whole Psalm… God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, just at the Break of Dawn (very early). The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold (look) the works of the LORD, the terrific things He hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breake the bow, and cut the spear in sunder; He burn the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. In Summary - From all this – as you can see & hear – God had a specific message for you today…!!! Do not Despair – OVERFLOW is Coming BACK !!!! *** A M E N *** 5
