The River of God
Ezekiel 47: 1-9 describes a vision Ezekiel saw of a river flowing from the temple in Israel and him stepping deeper into that river (represents the Holy Spirit, the power of God), going from ankle deep to knee deep, then to waist deep and finally having to swim in that river.
Revelation 22: 1-3 also speaks of this same river flowing in heaven from the throne of God.
Ezekiel saw waters beginning to flow. Revelation speaks of the same river that brings healing to the nations, flowing from the throne of God.
It is time for God to release the river (Holy Spirit) of God from inside of us (we are the temple of the Holy Spirit) to bring healing to us, our families, circumstances around us and healing to the nations.
We need to become humble and say we know nothing but to seek His face and fall in love with the Master for one purpose- to see the river of God flow and the move of God happen.
We pray that we would catch the heart of God in Calvary City Church and for the city. To see that river flow and fulfill the mantle of the house; to see souls won for Jesus. To win souls (fish) and to see dead, broken and unhealed things begin to live in that river. Life and healing come from the river. (Ezekiel 47:9)
As long as we are surrendering to God, the issues, habits and brokenness that comes to the surface indicates that God is about to, and can remove those stuck places in our lives.
Breakthroughs will be released in Jesus Name where the rivers flow (John 7: 37-38)
Let us begin to be hungry and thirsty for the presence and river of God. Our information about God has crowded out out our ability to encounter God.
What is our life so full with that we cannot have room to encounter God?
How do we get into that river of God?
1. Let’s be hungry once again for Him. The river of God is where we find His heart. We want to know the heart of God and be in a place of not knowing everything and wanting to know Him more.
2. We need to get out of our heads and into the heart of God. Where there is no river, there cannot be life. The Holy Spirit is the best teacher. It is our honour to be dependent on Him.
3. We need to want to be in the river. We can play around in the shallow end or jump deep into the river, loosing control into the heart of the Father.
Let’s jump into the river once again.
