Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” John 4:10.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
On the day the appointed time of Pentecost was fulfilled, a most wonderful and beautiful event took place. Having made purification of sins, Jesus returned to Me, as I had revealed to My prophet Daniel many years before, on the clouds of Heaven to take his seat at My right hand, exalted in glory, dominion and authority.
“I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, and He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion, glory and sovereignty that all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.” Daniel 7:13-14.
And having received from Me the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured Him forth into the hearts of those who believed. And He came as a rushing wind and tongues of fire upon and into those who had been born from above as new creations in Christ by receiving My Son during the forty days He stayed with them upon the earth after I had raised Him from the dead until the day He ascended back to My right hand. And believers (those created anew in Christ) were of such a small number they were all gathered in one place. Acts 2:1.
But the gift that Jesus came to give you did not stop there, three thousand more became new creations in Christ and received the gift that day.
Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation!” So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:38-42.
Washed clean of sin in the blood of My precious Son, as a new creation in Christ, their living spirits, born from above, could receive My Spirit. Baptized into Jesus by the Spirit, Jesus then baptized them with the Spirit, filling them with gifts, power, love, and grace. Attached into Jesus as the Vine, the life of the vine immediately flows into you, My life, My divine life and nature flows into you by My Spirit. And grace is My divine life in you. A supernatural infusion of My skill, My love, My purity, and My power all by the inflow of My Spirit as the life from the Vine to whom I have attached you in love beyond love. I have attached you through Jesus to Myself. Through Him I have drawn you back into Myself, into My very bosom, the heart and center of all life and goodness.
Grace and truth come through Jesus but both flow into you by the Spirit. My Word is truth and it is Spirit breathed and performed. And grace is My divine life in you which constantly flows into you through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Even under the Old Covenant divine skill was imparted by My Spirit. Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship. Exodus 31:1-3.
Jesus came to take away your sins and your punishment by bearing them for you in substitution and identification, but, ultimately, He came to give you the gift of the Holy Spirit so you could be One with Me. I was in Christ not counting your sins against you but accounting them all to Christ to reconcile you to Myself by transforming you into a new creation by My Spirit in you and on you so you would become one spirit with Me. According to My likeness.
For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7.
In Jesus and by the baptism of the Holy Spirit you become partakers of My divine nature.
To those who have received a like precious faith as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1:1-4.
And being a partaker means much more than you can ask or imagine for with My divine life in you by My Spirit come the grace endowments that reside in My Spirit for the benefit of all that He distributes as He wills for the need of the moment.
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills. 1 Corinthians 12:5-11.
I have put great treasure within you. Treasure beyond measure, beauty beyond comprehension and love that has no limits. With My Spirit in you, you can be living in the overflow of blessings from Heaven, the Spirit filling the well of your spirit and springing up to eternal life. Resurrection life. Resurrection joy.
The gift of Jesus, in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, is your greatest treasure for in Him you are reconciled with Me, are reinstated as My child, pass from death to eternal life, are made holy, blameless and beyond reproach, and I have made Him wisdom unto you, redemption, sanctification and righteousness. He bore all your sins and all your sickness and pain and redeemed you from the curse so you would receive the Blessing of Abraham AND THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT BY FAITH. And He continues to serve you as your great good Shepherd and great High Priest. But in Him and His Name, I give you the great treasure of the Holy Spirit to be with you and in you forever. In Him, I connect you with Me and it is through Him within you that I minister all good things to you through Jesus.
So for your daily life the greatest treasure you have is My Spirit abiding in you to lead you, guide you to all truth, teach you all things, bring to your remembrance all I said, warn you of things to come, enable you to bear the fruit of good works, make you partakers of the divine nature, fill you with all the fullness of God, correct you, direct you, and share with you My deepest thoughts.
And you are not aware of Him as a separate Person for He is One with Me and with Jesus, as Jesus also is one with Me, and His voice is My Voice and My Voice is His for He is the breath of My Words and He is also of the Words of Jesus. So do not get mixed up. Just address Me as Abba, Father and be talking with Me, as Jesus told you to do, and know that by My Spirit and through Jesus, I am talking to you. Jesus fits My life into your humanity and the Spirit conveys My Words and life into your spirit, and your spirit speaks to your soul (your mind, will, and emotions).
But there is a whole new level to which Jesus has lifted you up, exalted with Him at My right hand where I have seated you in Him and with Him when you took Him as your Lord.
Jesus has brought you out of the slavery of sin and death to the glorious freedom of My children, for where My Spirit is there is liberty. That is why whom the Son sets free is free indeed. He has taken you to a whole new level. And that brings us back to the special nine gifts that My Spirit gives you for the profit of all.
I do not want you to be unaware of all you have in Jesus. Do not stop at the Cross, though what He obtained for you on the Cross opens the way to Me and is awesome beyond human comprehension, go on the resurrection and the power that is at work in your mortal bodies as well, seating you above in Christ with the devil under your feet, but do not stop there, go on to Pentecost and get filled with My Holy Spirit and live your life at a whole new level!
The door of Jesus opens every door to you of all My gifts, promises, and to My very Kingdom. I want you to utilize the greatest gift of all. I have given you My Spirit, My very essence, to be in you and with you always. I have made you a partaker of My divine nature. We and I can now communicate at a whole new level in your heart. And you can walk in confidence knowing exactly what to do at all times by the leadings, witness, promptings, directions, corrections, and teaching of My Holy Spirit in you and on you.
I have made you new to be a temple of My Spirit. A place of light, peace, and grace filled with abundance of good things and perfect gifts. I have joined you to Myself and you never have to be confused again. You have the solution in you, not by human power or might, but by My Spirit.
In Him, you have a helper, a comforter, an advocate, a guide, a leader, one who prays with and intercedes for you, Romans 8:26, one who tells you of the things to come, puts healing power in you, and gives you access to Me so you can converse with Me, and hear My Words and thoughts to give you direction and revelation and empower you to succeed, and gives you spiritual gifts such as a word of wisdom, a word of knowledge, supernatural faith, gifts of healings, effecting of miracles prophecy, distinguishing of spirits, various kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues. With all this in you why would you fear anything or anyone?
In the Spirit, I pull back the curtain that veils you from seeing things as I see them, in Him I give you glimpses of the things in the spirit that are surrounding you. You can see as I see and say what I say for you will hear My Words to you that are just for that moment. Where My Spirit is there is freedom.
And you will sing with David, “I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4. For I did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of self-control (self-discipline with wisdom and prudence). 2 Timothy 1:7. My gift of the Holy Spirit fulfills My promise to never leave you or forsake you. And it is the fulfillment of “Do not fear, I am with you.”
I love you. Into your born-again Spirit, I have poured My love by My gift of the Holy Spirit. You have My love in your heart. And that is the anointing. But love gives, so I give you gifts to give as gifts for the profit of all. And we will talk about these more is our next life lesson. I do not want you unaware of them, for they are all in you, it is time you tapped into the flow of the Spirit in your magnificent inner sanctuary.
