This Week\u2019s Audio Message<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJesus answered, \u2018Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 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.\u2019\u201d \u2013 John 4:13-14<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, \u2018If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.\u00a0 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.\u2019\u00a0 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.\u201d \u2013 John 7:37-39<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, I shared that Christ\u2019s living water<\/a> accomplishes only part of God\u2019s redemptive agenda in eternally quench our \u201ceternal thirst\u201d.\u00a0 His broader purpose lies in transforming us into wellsprings of life, streams that extends His living water to a thirsty, dying world.\u00a0 We become a part of the \u201cRiver of Water of Life\u201d that flows the Holy Spirit\u2019s \u201cpower testimonies\u201d to the market places we touch.<\/p>\n

To carry out the Great Commission, we must understand our roles as \u201cliving streams\u201d that flow from the River of Water of Life.\u00a0 In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus gave us the Great Commission \u201ccall\u201d.\u00a0 But in Acts 1:8, He gave us the Great Commission \u201crevelation\u201d that tells us how to carry out the \u201ccall\u201d.\u00a0 Jesus reveals that:<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> \u2013<\/em><\/strong> Acts 1:8<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

For many of us, the market places where we spend most of our quality waking hours are our \u201cends of the earth\u201d.\u00a0 God is bringing an awakening of the Acts 1:8 revelation to the market place as He establishes His Kingdom economy.\u00a0 From this awakening, we believe that many will experience \u201cpower testimonies\u201d, like Daniel in Babylon, as they come to realize their roles as streams of the Water of Life.<\/p>\n

Our desire for MTC 2011 is to seek the Lord for a divine vision and activation of our roles as His wellsprings and streams, fulfilling the Acts 1:8 revelation.\u00a0 We will intercede this week during the GPC for deeper insights of this revelation.\u00a0 Please join us.<\/p>\n

If you have experienced such \u201cpower testimonies\u201d, please share them with me.\u00a0 I may use them to encourage our network as we prepare for the November gathering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
