John 15:5 says that without Him we can do nothing ~ not one thing that will bear fruit for His glory. His way is for us to walk in the Spirit. When we do the Holy Spirit will resist our flesh when it rises to assert itself. Galatians 5:17. 

Self-help books abound. They are not the answer. Korah wrote Psalm 87 about the city of God. Verse 7 says, “Both the singer and the players on instruments say, All my spring are in you.” Our Source Of Life is in Him. 

Psalm 36:8-9 says, “They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.”

John 4:14 says, “…the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
