PROMISE 11- THE OUTPOURING OF GOD’S SPIRIT

PROMISE 11- THE OUTPOURING OF GOD’S SPIRIT

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring. – Isaiah 44:3

The most important experience any child can have is a real, personal encounter with the living God. It is not enough for children to merely witness the reality of God in the lives of their parents; they must experience it for themselves. If we thirst after God, the Father promises to do that—to pour out the living water of His Spirit upon their lives. God has promised that He will be “with the generation of the righteous” (Ps. 14:5). Therefore, if we “thirst for righteousness” (Matt 5:6) and walk in the “paths of righteousness” (Prov. 2:20), God promises to be with our offspring, influencing their lives with His outpoured presence. Certainly a child must make a personal decision claiming Jesus as His Lord in order for the Savior to actually dwell in his heart, but until that spiritual rebirth takes place, our decision to serve God will apparently cause His Spirit to be with them in a special way, drawing them to Himself.

PRAYER DECLARATION-

Lord, I thirst for You. I pray that Your living water will fill my soul and flow through my child as well. I confess that my son will never be like a desert but will blossom with the beauty of the Lird and bear fruit for Your kingdom. Because I thirst for righteousness, I trust that Your presence will be with my child always, gurarding, guiding, and instructing him/her in ever situation. As Joshua begins seeking You and drinking of Your presence, I pray that this spiritual water will become in him/her a well of water springing up into everlasting life. In the name of Jesus, amen (LET IT BE SO)!
