Ezekiel 47:3-6 – “Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep. ⁴ Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was waist-deep. ⁵ Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. ⁶ And he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?”  Then he led me back to the bank of the river.”

Let me give you the Reader’s Digest version of what was impressed upon my heart during my time of meditation, reading, and prayer today.   I saw the coming harvest and the Last Day’s Revival of Restoration powerfully.

Ezekiel 47 is revelatory.    In a vision, the prophet saw the Temple.   From under the side of the temple, water was flowing Eastward.  That signifies the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.   It came from the altar.    The altar is both the place of petition and submission or sacrifice.   It is the heart of God.

The progress of involvement was gradual. First, it was ankle-deep water, which indicates awareness but no significant change, anointing, or power. Then, it was knee-deep, which indicates an increase in awareness but still no significant change. It involves obedience and pressing on and in.

Next, the water was up to the loins, indicating awareness and change to come.  The current is strong enough that a conscious effort must be made not to get swept away. The water was so deep that his whole body was fully involved.  The full impact came when he moved into the unswimmable deep waters. He was totally consumed! 

That’s where the power lies.   The angel took him back to the bank.   He had been immersed in the river (Holy Spirit).   Now, on the bank, he can take this anointing and impact his surroundings.   He sees what he has not seen before. 

On the banks were trees.  Think of the river in the Book of Revelation, where the trees line the banks, and healing is in them.   The trees grow with tap roots in the river, and their fruit brings life and healing.   He was told what the river was doing.  It flows to the sea and makes the stagnant, fresh, and pure, life-giving. 

What God is coming and now is cannot be experienced by living life in a business-as-usual mode.  It demands a change of focus and surrender of All Dreams and Plans to God.  Our Isaacs must be placed on the altar.   Casual or occasional wading in the stream will not produce what is needed in us.

We have to press in and on until we are Totally Immersed or Consumed in the water (Holy Spirit). 

• Will that make us religious fanatics?  Probably, in the eyes of others.  
• Will that cost us relationally?  Possibly because some consider that investment in God as unnecessary and too much.
• Will it cost us financially?  Possibly because our purpose & pursuit will shift from us to the Kingdom.

Do we want to have what the Book of Acts Church had?   Do we want to heal the sick, raise the dead, set free those in bondage, and win multitudes for God?   Yes?  Then, we have to get in the river.   Will that solve the issues we now face?  NO!   It will possibly increase the number of attacks.

This Last Days Move and Harvest will enable us to see families saved, churches rescued, cities impacted, and the powers of darkness defeated.   How much do we want it?  We can have All we want.

I know this is a different word, but it is what I’m hearing in my heart.  We must decide, like Daniel, that we will not defile ourselves with the world.   Like Daniel, God will honor that with His presence, power, and provision.

I want it more than life!  I’m tired of the devil’s destruction and want the Kingdom of God to be manifested Now in me and you!

It is time to get into the River of God and become Totally Consumed by the Spirit of God!  Have a Great Day in Jesus!
