There Is a River: Flowing with the Holy Spirit [Audio Podcast]
Tuesday, 20 January, 2026
Tom Speaking at North Woods Community Church, Solon Springs, Wisconsin. What if God isn’t distant—but closer than you’ve ever realized? In this powerful and Spirit-filled message, you’re invited to pause, breathe, and remember a life-changing truth: God is here. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and prophetic insight, this episode explores the biblical promise that “there is a river whose streams make glad the city of God”—and that river is still flowing today. Drawing from Psalm 46 and Ezekiel 47, this teaching reveals the Holy Spirit as God’s living river—bringing joy where there is heaviness, healing where there is brokenness, and hope where life feels dry or uncertain. Whether you feel ankle-deep in faith or ready for waters to swim in, this message calls you to go deeper, to cooperate with what God is doing, and to allow His presence to transform not only your life, but the world around you. You’ll hear how revival always begins with relationship—being a friend of God—and how the river that flows from His presence is meant to move beyond the “temple” and reach families, communities, and nations. This is a message about destiny, renewal, and the unstoppable flow of God’s Spirit. If you’re longing for fresh joy, spiritual clarity, or a renewed sense of purpose, this episode is an invitation: get in the river—and let it rise This message was preached at North Woods Community Church, near the headwaters of the St. Croix River, an area which has received powerful prophecies of a great move of God before the return of the Lord. Enjoy the River! Notes: THERE IS A RIVER! There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she will not be moved; God will help her in the early dawn. (Psalms 46:4-5, MEV). MT: God’s river will flow through you in a greater way, and you will be part of His great plan to bring forth His presence and power … and to bring salvation to the earth. Two separate, almost identical prophecies given by two missionaries who did not know one another in 1948 predicted that just before Jesus returns there would be a great move of God beginning at the headwaters of the St. Croix and affecting the area 100 miles east and west of the entire St. Croix River, bringing salvation, healing, and restoration before the Lord returns. These prophecies stated that there would be miracles in finances, healing, and deliverance, as well as a return to biblical living. Your destiny… not just potential This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; (1Timothy 1:18, KJV). Drink of the river. Swim in the river. Enjoy the river. Reach the world with the river. Ezekial 47:1-12 Increase Jn 7:37-39 Come to me and drink A water libation ceremony, known in Judaism as Nissuch Ha-Mayim, was a joyous ritual during the ancient Jewish Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) where priests would draw water from the Pool of Siloam and pour it onto the altar in the Temple, symbolizing prayers for rain and spiritual salvation. This popular, music-filled event featured processions, trumpets, and joyous crowds. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. (Isaiah 12:3, KJV). I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Acts 2:16-21 Rev 22:1-5 Pure river of the water of life; we are drinking of only the foretaste of heaven’s river.
