"If any man thirst let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth on me as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this spake he of the spirit which they that believe on him should receive, for the holy ghost was not yet given because that Jesus was not yet glorified." [00:36:16]
"When Jesus stood up and cried out on that occasion with a loud voice we're told, he declared two really outrageous concepts. The first of course was an invitation. It was an invitation to those with a spiritual thirst, a thirst for something deep in their own beings in spite of the fact that they were all profoundly religious Jewish people that he was addressing on this occasion." [01:05:04]
"The question really is how should we understand what Jesus meant when he spoke of rivers of living water? I mean let's face it, of course he's using symbolism to describe something that in so many ways is indescribable but he chose the symbolism, he chose to speak of it in this particular way." [00:67:76]
"We have not merely been saved that we might escape hell, but we have been saved in order that God may present a people who will astonish the world. How about that? Let me repeat it just because I want to repeat it because it's so so incredible." [00:80:56]
"Let the apostle Paul throw some light on this here. Do you remember what he speaks in three of his epistles about the mystery of God that which has been hidden from the ages and from the dispensations of time? In referring to this as the new covenant blessing and provision of God through the redeeming work of Jesus." [00:89:76]
"There can be no overflow without their first being an inflow. The fact of the matter is that none of us can give what we have not first received. The first of these two categories, the first would produce the second, the drinking would produce the outflow, the overflow." [00:160:48]
"Jesus is not talking about a one-off experience. It's not me coming to Jesus with my empty cup and saying fill my cup because it's Sunday today and I'll be back next Sunday all being well for another fill up. It's not like Jesus is talking about a constant continuous experience." [00:174:46]
"The proof that a man or a woman is filled with the spirit of God is the outflowing or the overflowing of that spirit of God in that life. I mean you know, you can store up in your mind information and you can dish it out as appropriate times." [00:220:48]
"The consistent overflow of this heavenly life is both the initial and the unerring evidence that a man or a woman is filled with the Holy Spirit. It's the initial evidence, it's the unerring evidence that a person is filled with the spirit of God." [00:205:53]
"I trust that I've succeeded in encouraging you to discover that spiritual secret of the continual drinking of the water of life and be sure also to maintain the channel of your life uncluttered that the water that flows from you may be truly astonishing to all the world." [00:211:11]
"We're so slow to recognize as we all that your plan of salvation far outstrips every meager notion that we have gathered and gleaned along the way. And we pray, Father, that you will enable your Holy Spirit to have great success with each and every one of us." [00:215:51]
"May God by his spirit elevate our thinking and open up our hearts and our minds, and dare I say it even our imagination, my whole being opened up to begin to conceive and understand something more of the fullness of this great salvation that John Wesley's Charles Wesley called so great as well." [00:809:83]
