The Gate of the Fountain

It is the will of Christ that every one of His saints be a fountain of the waters of eternal, incorruptible resurrection life.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (John 7:38)

In Revelation 1:15 we find the voice of Christ is "as the sound of many waters." The voice of Christ, which is the fountain of all life, all spiritual light, is to flow as water from the mouth of each member of the Body of Christ.

It is the will of God that the saints rule with Christ on earth throughout the thousand-year Kingdom Age. The water of life will flow from God through Christ through the saints until "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14).

In the case of many of the Lord's people, the well of their life is stopped up with bitterness, unbelief, hatred, unforgiveness, fear. They are carrying a load of guilt and dread. There is more of Hell in their life than there is of Heaven, although they belong to Jesus.

How can such a thing be? If we will look around us in the churches we will see that such indeed is the truth.

How can we unstop the wells of life that are in the hearts of the believers? We must assure them of God's love and encourage them to confess to the Lord their lusts, their doubts, their fears, their bitterness. All this dung, this darkness, must be cast forth through the "dung gate," the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We who may be spiritually stronger are to work with the weaker, assisting them as they release to the Lord their bondages. We can stand in the name of the Lord Jesus and command Satan to release his hold on the lives of God's people. As the believers are released spiritually they will experience the peace of God that passes understanding. Hell will flee from them and the Life of Christ will flow into them. Then the living water will spring up in them and they will speak in tongues and prophesy.

When the new covenant has worked its perfect work there will be no weak member in the Body of Christ. Every person among us is to be a saint of God, filled to overflowing with the Life of Christ. We are to be "mighty men" who stand before God in Zion. When we pass through the valley of Baca (weeping), we are to make it a "well" (Psalms 84:6). We are to bring the reviving Life of Christ wherever we go.

Christ on the cross of Calvary paid the full price for the salvation and healing of every individual on the earth for all time. Our task is to stand on the earth and proclaim the Jubilee, the liberty Christ has purchased with His own blood. As we proclaim release, whoever will believe and receive will be purged of the darkness of Hell and filled with the waters of eternal life.

It is the privilege of the members of the Church, the Body of Christ, to proclaim the total victory that Christ has accomplished for each person.

And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. (Joel 2:32)
