The Daily Word of Righteousness

One in Christ in God, #8

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (John 7:38)

The Throne of God is the heart of the saint. It is out from the believers, as Jesus has declared, that the rivers of living water will flow. In the days in which we are living, Ezekiel's "river" is springing forth as Christians are allowing the Holy Spirit of God to reveal the Glory of Christ in them.

In the hour to come the Glory of God in Christ will issue from the believers until the whole earth is filled with His Glory. The Godhead will come and abide in the Body of Christ in far greater power and revelation of Divine Glory than was experienced by the prophets of Israel in the days of the Law of Moses.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts. (Haggai 2:9)

There have occurred many marvelous revelations of the Holy Spirit to the Israel of God, from the time of Abraham. But the vast floodgates of Heaven will be opened in the last days, the time of the return to earth of the Lord Jesus Christ with His saints and holy angels.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim. (Joel 3:18)

For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. (Isaiah 61:11)

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them (raising the dead, casting out devils, healing the sick, speaking the words of the Father, the Presence of the Holy Spirit without measure); that they may be one, even as we are one: (John 17:22)

The Glory of Christ, which is the life, light and power of the age to come (Hebrews 6:5), will, according to these words of Jesus in John 17:22, cause the Church to become united in the perfect unity that exists in the Godhead.

Psalms 133 relates the unity of the brothers to the holy anointing oil that was poured on Aaron, the high priest.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended on the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. (Psalms 133:1-3)

Christ, Head and Body, is God's High Priest. The holy anointing oil of the Holy Spirit coming down upon the Body of Christ creates the oneness that is true of the Godhead.
