Revelation 21:6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. NKJV
Do you thirst for the fullness of HIM? I cannot force you or convince you to thirst. It is up to you to set your own path and level of commitment. My job is to plant seed and water others’ seed. Our Heavenly Father will provide the increase of revelation in your life. When you get your own revelation, it can’t be taken away. If you are merely convinced by me that something is true, then you can be convinced of the opposite when someone else presents a better argument. It is up to you to receive revelation from Above.
In the above Scripture, unity is the focus. The beginning and the end become one. This verse is tied to another in the Gospel of John (the beloved disciple):
John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. NKJV
Jesus was making this statement on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, a very critical day in the big picture. (7:2 Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand). This is the only time the Feast of Tabernacles in mentioned specifically in the New Testament. Jesus honored this feast as He did the others. As we have discussed in the past, the Holy Spirit was given at the Day of Pentecost but yet Jesus reveals another impartation at the Feast of Tabernacles. I believe this impartation is connected to the Baptism of Love.
Freely giving of the fountain of the water of life is an act of Love. “It is done” indicates completion. The “water of life” has many facets to it and one such facet is the ability to see, also known as “revelation”. I believe we will receive revelation without hindrance as we walk in the fullness of life having slain the old man once and for all. After all, this is our last enemy… death.
Revelation 7:17 “for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters (of life). And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
In Hebrew, the word “fountain” means “eye”. Jesus mentions those who have eyes to see. These are the ones who are able to receive revelation from Above and seek out the revelation, setting aside other priorities in their life. We must keep our focus on what is truly important in the long term and no longer be distracted by temporal things of the world.
This promise is directed to those who are thirsting. Where do you stand?
