Let God’s River Flow

 Scripture:

“Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭47:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

Ezekiel had a vision of a river flowing from under the threshold of the Temple. It started small, but got deeper as it went away from the Temple. That river was to bring life wherever it goes. Along the river is what the above verse references, fruit trees that bear fruit every month. The fruit was food and the leaves were for healing. God’s river produces food and healing wherever it flows.

Application:

Jesus said we should have a river of living water flowing from our lives. We have the Spirit without measure and He wants to flow out of our lives like a river. The problem is, we don’t really believe that and walk in it. Our lives should produce fruit constantly and bring healing wherever we go because God’s river flows in and through our lives. I need to seek the Lord and ask Him to let His river of life flow through my life at greater and greater levels.

Prayer:

Lord God, Let Your river flow in my life. As I go to The Dominican Republic tomorrow, let Your river flow there in every service.  Bring healing, life, and freedom to everyone we come in contact with. Let Villa Verde never be the same. Let the children’s center we built there provide fruit for the community and healing as well. 

Yours,

Jeff
