Good Morning,
The Word Of The Lord Came To Me Saying;
There is a river that is ever increasing in its intensity and its consistency. It has been flowing into the open sanctuaries of the hearts of My people. To those who will let, by yielding, this mighty river will root out, pull down, throw down and destroy all hard and stubborn places. The river will cause heavy burdens to become dislodged as easily as a feather blowing in the wind. In order for this to happen, I must have access into every area of your heart. If you would learn to flow with the rhythms of My river, you would see all that is washed away by its force. You cannot go on your own power. The river will push you from familiar places, out of the ruts that you have become stuck in.My river is a cleansing one that removes deep set in dirt, from the mind and heart. Refreshing comes as it washes all weakening agents from your life. As it increases with intensity it sanctifies, purges, heals and builds and plants. Making you whole, healthy and sound in your mind and your heart. Growth will be seen by all who have known you before the flowing river began this restoration in you. You, that was barren, unhappy, unloving, unforgiving and unfruitful shall blossom and bring amazement and wonder. Come, yield and flow with Me to your fulfillment.
Ezekiel 47:6-11; He asked me, "Have you been watching, son of man?" Then he led me back along the riverbank. When I returned, I was surprised by the sight of many trees growing on both sides of the river. Then he said to me, "This river flows east through the desert [dry, hard places], into the valley of the Dead Sea." The waters of this river will make the salty waters of the Dead Sea fresh and pure. There will be swarms of living things wherever the waters of this river flows. Fish will abound in the Dead Sea, for its waters will become fresh. Life will flourish wherever this water flows. Fishermen will stand along the shores of the Dead Sea……. Verse 11 says, "But the miry places and the marshes will not be purified; they will still be salty."
Marshes—-meadow lands near water; swamps; bogs; morass [a trap; it snares, confuses or impedes and entangles]
Miry land—boggy ground or matted; deep mud or slush; [something that causes one to wallow and sink deeper; to plunge into a deep pit]; to cause to stick
So there are places and people who will not yield to God's river or His power. What, not yield to God's power? Do you remember Pharaoh? He saw God's signs and power, yet he hardened his heart against God. Sounds like a miry land or a marsh place, because where there is no yielding, there will be no change. We must make sure that our hearts stay pure, by not getting entangled or confused by all that is going on in your life as well as what is going on in the world. Everything that is twisted, wicked, evil or even some things that look right may be designed to try to take your mind off of God's river, to bring entanglement and confusion. That you end up stuck or wallowing in the muck and mire, sinking deeper. Stay in the Word of God and hunger for His Presence daily. Love is the foundation to keep the river on the increase. No one and nothing is worth losing your soul-salvation. Love, like your life depends on it, for it really does. Let's ride the river with Abba!!
Love,
Pastor D.
