• When the Spirit fills us, we are transformed, and by beholding God we become mirrors. You can always tell when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because your inner spirit senses that he mirrors the Lord’s own character.

• Scriptures make it clear that we can drink of God’s river now, here, in this life, even if it’s only in a measure. We don’t have to wait to drink until we’ve passed on into the glorified state. Jesus said this river would flow into us, through us, and out of us to others. “‘He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water’” (John 7:38). This glorious river of the Spirit is available to each of us, and the greater our thirst, the greater our participation in this river (see Matthew 5:6). We can drink of this river now! Its source is God.
