WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: DEEPER WATER

The Spirit of God is often represented by water. It stands to reason that the deeper we wade out into the spiritual water, the more strength and power we will gain.

The perfect example of how we are spiritually sometimes is the way I am at the beach. While some swim out into the deep or surf, I am content along the shore line in ankle deep water. I do not mind the waves splashing up to my knees, but I am uncomfortable going out any further, because I am afraid. The ocean waves are powerful and even though I can swim, I am not comfortable with the power of the waves.

EZE. 47:1-3 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.

First he measured 1000 cubits the water was to his ankles. These are the people who are just starting a new life in Christ or someone who never wants to go beyond their initial experience of salvation.

Eze. 47:4 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.

The next step is wading out to the knees. We will never get anywhere until the spiritual water gets to our knees. We have to have a prayer life. Not a five-minute prayer a day. Not simply praying over our food, but deep meaningful conversions with God every day. It is in those conversations that we grow in spiritual maturity and strength.

Once we have started and developed a prayer life, we can wade out a little deeper. The ability to be fruitful and multiply is in our loins. When we wade out into the spiritual flow to our loins, this is where the fruit of the spirit develops. We will have the ability to let our light shine through that fruit and win souls to Christ. Waist deep, we can still touch the bottom and still have some control over our direction.

Ezek 47:5 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.

If you find yourself ankle deep, step out a little deeper. If you are to your knees, then step out deeper. If you are to your waist there is only one thing to do and that is to go out so deep that you have to go with the current. We have to swim in the flow of God. Being totally led by him. Allowing the current of God to take us to the next level in him.

There are always deeper depths and higher heights to attain. One verse says we move from glory to glory. But many of us are stuck on the shore of “I can’t what will people think? I can’t because I am not good enough?” The enemy has many reasons he will give us if we want to listen to him.

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

We need to be so deep in God that people will only see him when they look at us. We are not our own, we were bought with a price. It is time we let go of ourselves and got into the deep current of God’s power and anointing. It is in that place that God can do the miraculous to change people’s lives.

Psalm chapter 42 is about a deep longing David had for God.

Psalm 42:1-2  As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

When we get to the point that we develop that longing that David had, that thirst for God and his presence, then we will know what it means to wade out into the deep.

Ps 42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

We all go through times we feel like God is far from us. The deep longing within David was calling for a deeper connection to God. We all have a level of desire within us to connect with God. Some fill that void with things of this life. But to a child of God, the deeper we wade out into the water the deeper we desire to go. We want to know him more.

Do not allow the enemy to keep you stuck on the shore or in low water, there are many wonders in the depths of God’s living water.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
