Jonathan’s words really spoke to us this morning. We want to flow with the Spirit and not be driven, full of strife, fear, etc. ” Jesus, please teach us to flow with Your Spirit, Lord, more and more each day. We need You so much, Jesus. Lead us into Your everlasting ways.”
The Flowing Life
Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
Isaiah 55:12 says, “You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace.” The word “led forth” in Hebrew is “yabal.” Yabal also means to “flow,” like a river flows. God’s Spirit is likened to water that flows. So, when you’re living in God’s Spirit and being led by Him, you’re going to flow. Is your life characterized by flowing or is it being driven, pressed, and compelled by all the things that are happening around you? Are you rushing and running but not being led? If you’re not being led, then you’re not going to flow. Anger, jealousy, fear, and depression have no flow. A life that’s driven, forced, and pushed has no flow because it’s not led. But if you’re led by God, you have the quality of flowing. Love, faith, mercy, kindness, joy, and peace flow. That’s how you are to go through life; flowing in God’s Spirit.
Don’t be driven, but instead, be led. For when you are led by His Spirit, your life will flow like a river. Then you shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace.
Today’s Mission: Today, follow the leading of the Lord. Be led forth by His shalom and flow forth in His Spirit.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19
God bless,
Mark
