Water of the Gifts and Graces of the Holy Spirit

The poor and needy seek water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

I will open rivers on the barren heights, and fountains in the middle of the valleys. I will turn the desert into a pool of water, and the dry land into flowing springs.

For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and currents on the dry ground. I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.

I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.

Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”

He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
