Inner Rivers of Living Water

Neville's Inner Vision

All of this is a directive to the inner man. The thirst is your yearning for the awareness of God; the invitation to come and drink is an act of turning your attention from external props to the I AM within. When you believe on the Christ within, as the Scriptures say, your belly—your innermost self—becomes a fountain of living water. The 'rivers' are not external rain; they are the continual flow of spiritual life that emerges from a reawakened consciousness. The clause about the Spirit being not yet given points not to history but to your own state of readiness: you do not yet know who you are; you have not glorified your inner I AM. But to the one who believes, the inner glorification begins now, and the Spirit becomes a present, moving river. Drink is not consumption of something outside; it is the conscious reception of God’s life into your imagination, feeling, and belief. As you align with the truth that you are the I AM, the Spirit flows, renewing, empowering, and creating a new inner reality—a new creation.
