PASTOR'S MESSAGE

"The Revelation of the River."

Ezekiel 47 v 6, "Son of man, hast thou seen this?"

Ezekiel's vision of the holy waters is an emblem of super abundant life. It issues from the throne of God. It grows fuller, deeper, wider until it becomes too mighty to be crossed. The toxic waters of the Dead Sea, and the barren wastes all around its shores, become fountains of living water. Life teems in its healing streams!

Have you caught the vision of God's boundless river of grace? Have you come to a heart under standing that this can be the rich, refreshing, outflowing experience of your life in Christ?

Hagar and her child were dying of thirst until the Spirit of God revealed the spring of living water close by.

Our Lord Jesus said, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink... Out of him (his inmost being) shall flow rivers of living water." John 7 v 38. The Apostle John adds the following interpretation, "This spake He of the Spirit."

A friend of mine had a bore hole sunk in his farmyard. At 500 feet, a mighty underground reservoir of water was tapped. Water shot some 20 feet into the air! Year after year, the ceaseless flow of pure and powerful water quenches the thirst of every farmyard creature. God's promise to Isaiah says, "In the wilderness shall waters break forth and streams in the desert."

God's Spirit is ready to "burst forth" with the sanctifying, refreshing fullness of Divine life upon the church and the people of God. I like the expression of Psalm 65 v 9, "Thou visitest the earth and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water."

Dear reader, the river of God is full of water. There is an abundance of grace, peace, power and clearest light. Grace, fathomless as the sea, Grace, enough for eternity!

Beneath the glorious throne above,
A crystal fountain springing,
A river full of life and love
Is joy and gladness bringing.

Oh fount of cleansing flowing free,
That fount is open wide to me.

Through all my soul its waters flow,
Through all my nature stealing,
And deep within my heart I know
The consciousness of healing.

Son of man, have you seen this? Have you understood it? Have you become aware of what the Holy Spirit can be to you? Will you let your faith rise to claim the fullness of God's blessing?

Do claim the promise! God wants to make you usable and useful for Himself and his glory.
