37 ON THE LAST DAY, THE CLIMAX OF THE FESTIVAL, JESUS STOOD AND SHOUTED TO THE CROWDS, “ANYONE WHO IS THIRSTY

MAY COME TO ME! 38 ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN ME MAY COME AND DRINK! FOR

THE SCRIPTURES DECLARE, ‘RIVERS OF LIVING WATER WILL FLOW FROM HIS

HEART.’” JOHN 7:37-38

39 (WHEN HE SAID “LIVING WATER,” HE WAS SPEAKING OF THE SPIRIT,

WHO WOULD BE GIVEN TO EVERYONE BELIEVING IN HIM. BUT

THE SPIRIT HAD NOT YET BEEN GIVEN, BECAUSE JESUS HAD NOT YET ENTERED INTO HIS GLORY.)

JOHN 7:39

THE HOLY SPIRIT…THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT COURAGE, ENTHUSIASIM, ENERGY, OR PERSONIFICATION OF GOOD QUALITIES. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE THIRD PERSON IN THE TRINITY. HE IS FULLY GOD. HE IS ETERNAL, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT, HAS A WILL & INTELLIGENCE, AND CAN SPEAK. HE IS ALIVE.– A.W. TOZER

26 BUT THE HELPER, THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM THE FATHER WILL

SEND IN MY NAME, HE WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, AND BRING TO

YOUR REMEMBRANCE ALL THINGS THAT I SAID TO YOU.
