Introduction: “Flow River Flow…” I love that song….the words to that song are heart – moving.

Here is the first stanza:

Lord The Light Of Your Love Is Shining,
In The Midst Of The Darkness Shining,
Jesus Light Of The World Shine Upon Us,
Set Us Free By The Truth You Now Bring Us,
Shine On Me. Shine On Me.

1. Did you notice the words…Light of Jesus Love? (1John 4:7-12)

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.”

Oh what great LOVE our Lord has for us!

Here is the second stanza:

Shine Jesus Shine
Fill This Land With The Fathers Glory
Blaze, Spirit Blaze,
Set Our Hearts On Fire
Flow, River Flow
Flood The Nations With Grace And Mercy
Send Forth Your Word
Lord And Let There Be Light.

2. Did you notice the words, “Flow River Flow”? (John 7:37-39)

Jesus said,
“37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”

As we yield to the power of the Holy Spirit, He flows through us!

Mirrored Here May Our Lives Tell Your Story.
