Once I call His name there's a flow within;
It turns me from my day, makes Him Lord again.
As my spirit burns, Satan cannot win.
Calling, "Oh Lord Jesus, " keeps the flow within.

Spring up, O well, within my spirit!
Rise up and tell, so all can hear it!
Spring up, O well, so I experience
That life abundantly.

"But unto you who fear My name will the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings, and you will go forth and leap about like well-fed calves."

Malachi 4:2

"And he will be like a tree transplanted beside water,

Which sends out it roots by a stream,

And will not be afraid when heat comes;

For its leaves remain flourishing,

And it will not be anxious in the year of drought

And will not cease to bear fruit."

According to God's economy, the one who trusts in God is like a tree planted by water, signifying God as the fountain of living waters.  A tree grows beside a river by absorbing all the riches of the water.  This is a picture of God's economy, which is carried out by His dispensing.  In order to receive the divine dispensing, we as the trees must absorb God as the water.  The riches of the supplying God dispensed into us as the trees constitute us with  God's divinity and cause us to grow into God's measure.  In this way we and God become one, having the same element, essence, constitution, and appearance.

Jeremiah 17:8 footnote 1
Holy Bible Recovery Version

"The woman became a debtor because of the poverty of her husband. But she had a pot of oil. This pot of oil was the basic ingredient. It was this pot of oil that allowed her to pay her debt and that supplied her daily needs. She needed empty vessels. Elisha ordered her to prepare empty vessels, and not a few. Through Adam we have become poor. But praise the Lord, we have the Holy Spirit. What is lacking are empty spots for the Spirit to fill. The fact is not that we cannot be filled, but that we do not have the empty spots for the Holy Spirit to work into. The Holy Spirit will only fill the empty spots. For spiritual progress we must be continually empty to be continually filled. It is not to be emptied once and then remain full forever. Time after time we need further emptying and further filling...If there is unlimited emptiness, there will be unlimited filling. We should continually empty ourselves, instead of emptying ourselves just once. We should continually empty ourselves so that we can be continually filled. We are responsible for the emptying, and the Holy Spirit is responsible for the filling."

"Now a certain woman from among the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared Jehovah.  And the creditor has come to take my two children to himself as servants.

And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you?  Tell me, what do you have in your house?  And she said, Your servant has nothing at all in the house, except a jar of oil.

And he said, Go and borrow vessels outside, from all your neighbors, empty vessels, and not just a few.

Then go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and each one you fill set aside.

So she went away from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons; and they brought the vessels to her, and she poured out into them.

And when she had filled the vessels, she said to her son, Bring me another vessel.  But he said to her, There is no other vessel.  And the oil stopped."

2 Kings 4:1-6

"The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it goes; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

John 3:8

"...Holding the Head, out from whom all the Body, being richly supplied and knit together by means of the joints and sinews, grows with the growth of God."

Colossians 2:19

"But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste?"

"The disciples considered Mary's love offering to the Lord a waste.  Through the past twenty centuries thousands of precious lives, heart treasures, high positions, and golden futures have been 'wasted' upon the Lord Jesus.  To those who love Him in such a way He is altogether lovely and worthy of their offerings.  What they have poured upon Him is not a waste but a fragrant testimony of His sweetness."

Matthew 26:8 footnote 1

"The wonderful Jesus, who is enthroned in heaven and crowned with glory and honor, is the greatest attraction in the universe.  He is like an immense magnet, drawing all His seekers to Him.  It is by being attracted by His charming beauty that we look away from all things other than Him.  Without such a charming object, how could we look away from so many distracting things on this earth?"

Hebrews 12:2 footnote 2

"Enjoying God is the ultimate thing that can make us happy."

Augustine

To love the Lord with our best is to take time to behold Him.

God has one will: to work Himself into man and to mingle Himself with man.  Therefore, if we desire to know God's will in any situation, we must first ascertain whether the situation is conducive to the mingling of Himself with us.

Today, God's life is already in us but His authority is still in the process of being constituted into us.

"Then they were willing to take him into the boat; and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going."

John 6:21

Faith is not to believe that He is willing or He is able.  Faith is to believe that it is done.

"The deeper the flow of grace is in us, the more we abandon our self-effort, forsake our own direction, and allow the flow to carry us on."

Ezekiel 47:5 footnote 1
Holy Bible Recovery Version

"Give yourself to love the Lord. No other way is so prevailing, and no other way is so safe, so rich, and so full of enjoyment. Just love Him. Do not care for anything else. Teachings, doctrines, gifts, and power do not mean much. We must continually tell the Lord, “Lord, keep me in Your love! Attract me with Yourself! Keep me all the time in Your loving presence!” If we will pray in this way, we will see what love we will have toward the Lord and what kind of life we will live. We will simply live by the Lord Himself. As long as we love Him from the deepest part of our being, everything will be all right. If we need wisdom, He will be the wisdom to us. If we need power, He will be the power. If we need the proper and adequate knowledge, He will even be that to us. Whatever we need, He is. Do not try to get anything else; just look to Him that He would reveal His love to you."

Resurrection is only a breath away.

Resurrection is not an event.  Resurrection is a Person.

"Come and let us return to Jehovah; For He has torn us, but He will heal us, And He has stricken us, but He will bind us up.  He will enliven us after two days; On the third day He will raise us up, And we will live in His presence."
