Sometimes when I am writing, the Holy Spirit quickens something to me and brings me in a totally different direction than what I intended to write. There are so many things that Jesus desires to share with us if we would just learn to discern His voice and recognize what He is showing us. Some time ago, I heard the Lord say, “I am changing the channel.”
He then showed me a channel which is defined as “the bed of a stream, river, or other waterway.” It is also “a relatively narrow body of water that connects two larger bodies of water.” The water was flowing out into different streams. As the water flowed, it quickly developed into a rapidly flowing river.
The Lord said: I am looking for vessels in which I can use as channels for My anointing to flow through. As My river flows in this season of acceleration, it will gain momentum. I will use you as channels to carry my river into different streams. As you allow this living water to flow in you and through you, you will become a fountain of refreshing to others.
There is a dimension that is available to you, and as you allow me to take you deeper, I will use you to release a new level of My glory to those who are spiritually dry. This river is rising expeditiously. Everywhere this river flows, it will bring restoration. Everywhere that this river flows, it will bring life. It will bring healing to the nations, and it will resurrect those things which are dead.
I will watch over My word to perform it as I develop you into living channels. Don’t allow anything to cut off this flow. Don’t be moved when you see others flowing in the wrong stream because I will deliver them and bring them into the stream of my river. Many will come into a deeper place. You will see that the glory of this latter house will be greater than the former house, and in this place, I will bring peace.
Then I saw some of the streams which had levees blocking the flow of this river. A levee is a barrier to obstruct the flow of water, especially one of earth or masonry, built across a stream or river.
Allow Me to create a clear channel inside of you that I could flow through. Don’t allow anything to prevent it from flowing. Don’t allow debris to get in the way of this flow. Don’t allow the cares of this world to block this flow. Those of you who feel depleted, come to this river and I will fill you afresh. Allow Me to fill those of you who are dry and barren. I am releasing a refreshing to those who have been stagnant.
I am the living water and as you release anything that is hindering the flow, you will experience My glory once again. The days ahead will be glorious for the believers, and many new streams will open up. As I said in My word, I will work a work in your days which you would not believe if it were told to you. For many of you, the time of drought will soon be over, and times of refreshing will be coming upon you, says the Lord.
Isaiah 35: 6 – 7
For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. The parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water.
John 4:14
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
