The Dream Stream of Human Consciousness

UV 3671/10000 The Dream Stream of Human Consciousness The singers and players of flutes will say, “ All my springs and sources of joy are in you ( Jerusalem, city of God)” Psalm 87 v 7 A believer of Jesus is like a stream, a spring that flows from God. A spring never ceases to flow. Our lives are ever flowing with joy, praise, thanksgiving, peace. These are the rivers of life-giving water that the Holy Spirit causes to rise from our hearts. The natural water of a river gives life-sustaining water but it cannot give life while the rivers of the Spirit can give life, eternal and abundant life. We find all our sources of power, strength, joy in the Lord and His kingdom. Nothing is excluded from His view or His purview. The water of the spring of eternal life, Jesus and His words are what never makes us thirst again. It satisfies our innermost longing for the union with the source of life-God. We like a river begin in Him, the Rock of ages and we also empty ourselves into Him. All that we speak, think, do is meant to glorify God, to lift the name of Jesus higher and higher. We find our pleasures forevermore at His right hand, or in living in Him, in intimacy with Him. When God is. Closer to us than our own skin, sin or hamartia, tragic shortcomings that we can do little about but cause maximum pain and suffering in our lives are kept at bay. This is the source of eternal and internal peace in our deepest being- our souls. The word is the water in the spiritual realm that quenches our thirst or meets human needs, temporal and eternal, that cleanses or purifies our character, words and deeds, that heals, strengthens, supplies energy or essential salt. The Lord waters us continually with such water. We are nourished by the nutrients dissolved in this water of life. It is the source of satisfaction, the source of refreshment, renewal, abundance, grace, mercy and joy. We have no need of any source of water apart from Him. The quality is high and the quantity is copious to meet all of our need- spiritual, emotional, relational, power, meaning, significance, intellectual, social, personal discipline, wisdom and so on. We only need to drink of it and think of it from time to time, as frequently as we can so that we can run for God and not grow tired, so that we can rise on the wings of word and prayer like an eagle.
