“Flow”

John 7:37-39

For us to know and live a life of spiritual abundance we must realize…

1. Paul was able to say with joy and peace that “…to live is Christ and die is gain”

because his soul’s thirst was being satisfied by the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit. (John 7:37-39)

1. As followers of Christ we often look at the life of someone like Paul and see

a huge gap between the joyful life promised in scripture and where we find ourselves. (Psalm 63:1, 42:1)

1. When we are discontent, unsatisfied, fearful, and unhappy, our soul is spiritually thirsty. (John 10:10; Matt. 11:28)

2. For us to live a life of true joy and peace, we must find and live in the flow of God’s spirit and reject those things that shut us off from it’s endless spiritual refreshment. (Psalm 1:1-3; Rev. 22:1-2; Phil. 1:6, 2:12)
