One of the earliest revelations we ever received and which has stayed true and relevant through the last 27 years all stemmed from a dirty water dish that was outside for our dog. I know that many of you will find it hard to believe that any dog of ours would actually have had to stay outside for any length of time – ha ha. Keeping a bowl outside is pretty hard to keep clean. There is a plethora of dust and debris seeking to find a resting spot somewhere in that container – it’s inevitable. In an attempt to clean the bowl one day, we held the water hose directly in the bowl and were amazed to find that if held there for any length of time, debris and dirt had no chance of clinging to the container – but were displaced out and clean, clear water remained. Holy Spirit began to speak to us about the corruption and dirt that tries to find a resting place in us. We are in the world and will always be subjected to things that we would consider to be unclean. What is incredible about being in relationship with the Father through His Holy Spirit is that when we allow Him to flow in and through our life, He has the ability to displace and discharge that corruption quickly. We cannot completely keep ourselves from being exposed to the dirt and debris of life, but we can trust that as we allow Holy Spirit to flow in and through us, we will always have a clean, clear stream of living water that continually displaces anything not of Him. Visuals, words that we hear, or even challenging events will not find a resting place in us because of the continuous flow. Thank you Holy Spirit for being an identifier and eliminator of those contaminants that seek to find residence in us. Flow in and through us to ensure that we provide to those around us a clean and clear drink of refreshing water.
