A River Flowing

In Ezekiel 47:4-5, the prophet recalls a vision where the Lord sent his messenger to the temple. The messenger measures the waters as they continue to rise throughout the temple: from a trickle to ankle-deep; from his ankle to waist-deep. In verse 5, the water had risen to a river that he could not cross, "because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross." True worship is a result of a sincere immersion of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit fills up the temple, of our hearts as well as our churches, the flow of the spirit will be undeniable and unstoppable.
