Are you thirsty for God?

I didn't buy the Rock Foundation book written by Pastor Rony, but I'm blessed in the way that I do get portion of the book from the teaching materials. I found this part particularly interesting and hope to share with any new believers like myself:

Have you ever been thirsty? I mean really thirsty. So thirsty that your whole body seemed to be crying out for a drink;



so thirsty that your throat felt like it had dry dirt balls in it; so thirsty that you would give anything for a drink.





Ahhhh! That was good. I sure like the nice cool water.





Now, Jesus wasn’t talking about being thirsty for H20 – water. He was talking about being thirsty for God.



He said that if we were thirsty, we would have to do the drinking. And He wants us to be so full of Him that rivers will flow out of us.



When we drink, we satisfy our own thirst, but when the rivers of water flow out of us, the people around us will benefit. We won’t have anything for the world unless we are filled with God – His love and power.




That sounds easy, but how do we drink of God? Well, every time we respond to the Holy Spirit, we take a drink of Him.

When the Holy Spirit begins to move in a service, move with Him. Instead of saying, “I’m not going to do anything unless God makes me”, just jump in!



People respond to the moving of the Holy Spirit in different ways; they laugh, shout, jump around, run, dance, etc. By responding to His move, we are taking a drink. And every time we take a drink, we get more and more filled with God.



It is just like every time I take a drink of this water, I get more filled up with it. Every time I move with the Holy Spirit, I get more of God in me.

John 7:38 (NKJV)
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.
