Isa Msg 40

Truth:
1. The fountain is the source, the spring is the issue of the source, and the waterbrook, or the river, is the flow.
2. The springs issue out of the fountain. The springs are Christ. These springs become the rivers, which are the Spirit.
3. God as our salvation is the fountain; Christ is the springs of salvation for our enjoyment and experience; and the Spirit is the flow of this salvation within us.
4. Salvation is based upon redemption. Based upon His redemption, He as our Redeemer becomes our Savior and our salvation.

Life experience/Application:
1. When God's salvation is experienced by us, this salvation becomes our strength, and eventually it will be our song, our praising.
2. If we want the Lord to save us, we must drink Him. They way to receive the processed Triune God is by drinking Him. When the water gets into us, it permeates our entire being. The way that we get nourished, transformed, conformed, and glorified is by drinking Christ into us.
3. The water that we drink passes through our entire being, is assimilated by us, and even becomes us.
4. Jesus to breathe the Name of Jesus is to drink of life indeed.
5. By calling "O Lord Jesus" we breathe, and by breathing we drink.
6. Praising Jehovah and calling upon His name are put together as one. Whenever we call on the name of the Lord, that implies praising. When we say, "O Lord Jesus, I love You," this is praising and breathing.
7. We human beings are altogether weak, frail, fragile, and mortal. We cannot do anything apart from the Lord.
8. When we breathe in this air, we get the water because the water is in the air. This illustrates that our breathing is also our drinking. Spiritually, our calling is our breathing, and our breathing is our drinking.
