All this week and part of last we have been looking at the scripture in Ezekiel 47:1-10. Here is the passage again if you have just joined us:
1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
There are so many things I want to share with you concerning the revelation the Holy Spirit has given me on this portion of scripture. Please get the CD at our online store. http://mfcbookstore.bigcartel.com/product/get-in-over-your-head-by-pastor-rena-perozich
In the passage above there are different levels of maturity. We can see these levels in comparing them to the three sets of gifts. Here is a great resource explaining them. http://iblp.org/questions/what-are-three-categories-spiritual-gifts
Within these categories we have the vocal gifts-we say what God says. We have the seeing gifts we see what God sees. Then we have the showing gifts where we do what God does. God has shown me that when we are ankle deep we can talk like God talks. We can speak in tongues, interpret tongues and generally prophesy. When we go to the knees and bow in worship we begin to see what God sees. We can see into the past, the present and the future. These are Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge and Discernment of Spirits. Then as we get into waters over our heads we get into doing what God does. We begin to have signs, miracles and wonders in our life manifest through His power working through us.
When we are all in and into the deep things of God we are no longer seen. We are no longer in and out. We are out into where huge dangers are around to destroy our life. These are not minnows and small crabs and fish type demons I am talking sharks and whale size and types of demons. It is the power of God that we depend on and keeps us safe.
This will close our series on Getting in over your head. I pray you get the CD because there is so much more in this scripture. I believe it is a prophetic word about the last days where we will live and move and have our being in Him and we will be instrumental in bringing the word of God and the power of God to a lost and thirsty world.
