PROPHETIC MEANING


“Who Believes in Me, It Will Be Like a Fountain of living Water”


In the Bible, the phrase “whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” comes from John 7:38. Jesus uses the metaphor of “rivers of living water” to describe the spiritual life and abundance that come from trusting in Him.

 

Jesus had earlier told the Samaritan woman that He could give her “living water” that would never run out (John 4:10–14), symbolizing the Holy Spirit and eternal life. In John 7:38, He promises that those who believe in Him will experience a continuous, life-giving flow from within — a “fountain” of spiritual refreshment.

 

Symbolism of “Rivers of Living Water”

  • Water as life: In Scripture, water often represents life, sustenance, and spiritual nourishment (Psalm 1:3; Ezekiel 47:1–12).
  • Living water: Unlike physical water that runs out, “living water” is eternal and life-giving, symbolizing the Holy Spirit’s presence and work in believers.
  • Fountain imagery: A fountain is a constant, life-sustaining source — here, it represents the ongoing flow of God’s grace, love, and power in a believer’s life.

 

Spiritual Meaning

Believing in Jesus is not just a one-time decision; it’s a heart commitment that leads to:

  • Abundance: A continuous supply of spiritual resources and strength.
  • Impact on others: Just as rivers feed the land, believers are called to share the life they’ve received.
  • Sustaining power: This “living water” sustains believers through joy, sorrow, doubt, and triumph.

 

KEY: When Jesus says, “it will be like a fountain,” He means that faith in Him produces a constant, life-giving flow of God’s presence and grace — a spiritual fountain that nourishes the believer and enables them to live abundantly and share that life with others.

God Is Still Writting MY STORY

Image
By Ruth Ferraz   I was born profundly gifted with  Artist Talent, but only late in life it started really to be unlocked and blooming, mainly because I didn't learn in school how to draw realistic or I didn't have some incentive for this.  The fact that I grew up in a dysfunctional  family didn't help in the artistic way also, because as a sensitive girl I was felling all the problems around me very deeply, what blocked my expression. I lost the beautiful self expression I had in Kindegarden and till 7 years old when my dad was still alive. After that I stated  to become a very shy and quite girl.  You can ask me as I know that I was born profundly gifted with artistic talent? And I will answer you that my amazing memory and sharp mind is part of my talents, an IQ above average has help me a lot and even makes me social different. It isn't easy to be a gifted person, we need to be resilent with strength in the Lord to be satisfied, I depend in Him alone who...

MY PROFILE

                                By Ruh Ferraz My interest in showing my Art isn't to sell canvas mainly, but to bring awareness to the importance of to work out the body and the eyes to connect the Hemispheres of the Brain and the mind, helping people to be enlightened and SAVED in this End Times. My mission is call attention  to the importance of enlight ourselves with natural intelligence  and wisdom the Lord gives us, specially through His Word, instead to enfase  Artificial Inteligence. Even worse is the Transhumanism, the mixing of Artificial Integence with the human mind. We can enhance not just our vision working out our eyes through the art or specific exercises, but  we can improve skills for life. People are expending too much time in screens nowadays and this is very harmful to the eyes, neck, shoulders, the all body, because provoke strain and tension.  The radiation with...
