“Who has bound the waters in a garment?” (Prov 30:4, NKJ)
With your conversion and rebirth Christ came to sit on the throne of your life. A throne is the seat of authority and kingship. If Christ sits there, then God sends His Spirit to blow through you (John 3:8). Ps 147:18 says that – just like in the natural realm – when He lets His Wind blow, then the waters flow! When you are baptised with the Holy Spirit, then the Spirit of God becomes a stream that flows from within you. Ps 105:41 puts it beautifully: “He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a river.” It is this river, according to Rev 22:1, that flows from the throne of God: “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.” It is thus so amazing that these waters become a garment, a covering, the blue mantel that you as priest wears. (And remember: blue isn’t a colour; it indicates that which is deeply undeterminable!)
Every believer that is a waterless fountain, a cloud carried by a storm wind (2 Pet 2:17), a waterless cloud carried about by the winds (Jude 1:12), believers who disappear like a stream in the sand (Job 6:15), who remain a closed fountain (Song of Sol 4:12), automatically allow the gradual habitation of the spirit of the antichrist. Anti, as a prefix, does not indicate against but rather in the place of (2 Thess 2:4). I anticipate that the great end-time struggle will be between the Bride and the wolf in the disguise of Christianity. Jer 14:3: “And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.”
With this in mind I am beginning to understand where demons go if they are cast out – to dry places (Matt 12:43): to Christians who operate without the Holy Spirit. For this reason it is so important to ensure that the temple (=you, 1 Cor 3:16) is cleaned of all false spirits that might be in you that present themselves as the Holy Spirit (John 2:16). After the house has been cleaned, it must not stand empty but must be filled with the true Holy Spirit (Matt 12:44-45).
- Sela: Pray in spirit and in truth that all spirits that present themselves as the Holy Spirit be removed. Make sure that when the temple is clean it is sealed with the Holy Spirit.
- Read: Gen 31: Ps 31; Matt 2.
- Memorise: Ps 31:15 “My times are in Your hand”. Let this prayer focus your daily time management, to redeem your time unto the Lord.
