SESSION 16 :  Song of Songs Chapter 6:13; 7:1-6 (TPT)



          That is not all. The navel sits on the belly. Scripture tells us in John 7

          that whoever believes in Jesus, rivers will flow from their innermost
          being—rivers of life! Who is our life? Jesus Christ! He is the Way, the

          Truth, and the Life. This verse is alluding to the life-giving benefits of
          participating in communion with the Godhead.


          Due to the “communion,” or fellowship, she has had with her King,

          there  now  flows  from  within  her  the  overflowing  life  of  Christ,
          symbolised here by the “never lacking wine.” This is not only for her

          own sustenance but also for the benefit of others. Notice how the wine
          is blended—this is because the Creator God has individually fashioned

          everyone to fulfil their own particular destiny and purpose.


          In addition to a relationship of intimacy with the Lord, everyone faces
          different  circumstances,  trials,  tests,  and  experiences  that  will  best

          prepare  them  for  what  God  has  in  store.  He  knows  what  particular
          “blend” of life experiences will bring us to attain fullness in Him, and

          for whatever is required, there is always an abundance of Himself to
          get us through, because He is the perfecter and finisher of our faith.


          Similarly, as we mature in Him, we become vessels that can offer those

          in need the right blend of ministry, which helps bring forth restoration
          and healing.


          As we continue with the above verse, it discusses wheat, which is the
          primary  ingredient  for  bread.  Jesus  is  the  “Bread  of  Life.”  The
