JOHN Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. There are times in our lives that we are going through a spiritual valley and we want to obtain victory—we want to have answers—we want God's power to flow through us again. Jesus made us a promise, "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." - John 7:38 The Lord promises us rivers of living water—not a puddle, not a pond, not a lake—He said rivers! These waters are not meant to be stagnant and not meant to be dammed up! They need to be flowing—unrestricted! We, who are believers in and followers of Jesus, have those living waters within us—but we must clear out the obstacles in our lives that prevent them from flowing! Sins of unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, and clinging onto petty sins are just a few of the barriers which can damn up the "rivers" of living water! Let's seek the Lord and ask Him to search us deeply and thoroughly that we know how to destroy those obstacles that clog the free movement of His Spirit in our lives!
