CATCH THIS:
Because the Holy Spirit indwells the believer, you become the mobile temple of God. The cosmic river of life no longer flows from a building in Jerusalem; it flows out of the deepest, most central part of your converted being.
Rheousin (ῥεύσουσιν) – "Will Flow"
- The Literal Meaning: This is a continuous active verb meaning to stream, to gush, or to flood heavily… ALWAYS FLOWING ALWAYS FRESH
The theology here is clear: Believers are not meant to be reservoirs that store up grace; we are meant to be pipelines that distribute it.
4. Practical Applications: Living the Outflow
If the koilia (the core) is filled with the Spirit, it must result in a rheousin (a gushing flow) into our everyday environments. Here is how that applies practically:
WHAT THIS MEANS
1. Shift from "Consuming" to "Overflowing"
2. Radical Environmental Transformation (The Ezekiel Effect) WHERE EVER WE GO THINGS ARE GONNA GET WET!
3. Cultivating Emotional Integrity at the Core (Koilia)
Because the river flows from the koilia—the seat of our emotions and deepest hidden spaces—it means our inner world matters immensely. If our inner core is clogged with bitterness, unexpressed anger, or anxiety, the outflow gets restricted.
James 3:11,12 can bitterness and fresh water come
Inconsistency reveals a problem - not with the source, but within the choice of which source to work from.
Its all about control - not the source
The tongue… the mind - must be renewed.
The river of life …the inner being of a man.
So we see two things at work in us…
We can block the River - choosing to not obey
We can poison the River - thought life
How to poison a river?
Satan can’t read your mind…
I can… every time. - you are going to think about chocolate ice cream…
NOW: I bet you are thinking about chocolate ice cream!
THEN: I attack you for thinking of chocolate ice cream. That’s how satan works.
Practical Application from Scripture
To keep the River flowing freely:
- Walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 25).
- Be filled with the Spirit continually (Ephesians 5:18).
- Obey His leading, pursue holiness, and fan into flame the gift of God (2 Timothy 1:6).
- Repent quickly when we grieve or quench Him.
