From time to time in your christian life, you will find that God is calling you back to the Cross, calling you to a fresh repentance to a new turning of your life over to Him. It is wise not to delay in responding to the Lord.
He only calls us to a new repentance because He knows that it is necessary and will prepare the way for a fresh outpouring of His Holy Spirit upon our lives, a new release of the "rivers of living water" within us.
The disciples were first filled with the Holy Spirit on the feast of Pentecost (Acts 2). It was not long afterwards they were praying together and asking God, "Grant to thy servants to speak thy words with all boldness, while thou stretched out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of thy holy servant Jesus. "And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:29-31).
They were filled again! As with those first disciples, those 'rivers' need to keep flowing in our lives.
God wants those 'rivers' to be constantly released to enable us to love, to serve, to believe.
YOUR WORDS OF FAITH: " I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live."
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Ephesians 1:15-18
