READ: Ezekiel 47:1-9
“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. Now when I had returned, behold, AT THE BANK OF THE RIVER WERE VERY MANY TREES on the one side and on the other” – Ezekiel 47:6-7
There is a lot to learn by studying the river of the Spirit. Human beings are not made to live in a river. Fish are made to operate in a river. Human beings are created to live and work on the land. When a human being begins to operate in the water, he is doing something supernormal and supernatural. Operating in the river, therefore, speaks of operating in the supernatural.
As you go deeper into the river of the anointing, you will see great and mighty things growing out of the ground. Many trees will grow out of the bank of the mighty river. These trees are the souls that are raised up through your ministry. These trees are pastors who are brought forth. These trees are evangelists and prophets. These trees are the servants of God who rise up by the side of the anointing. Because you are not flowing in the river you may not see many people raised up beside you. The lack of sons, daughters and servants of God is a sign that you are nowhere near the depths of the river.
As the river of the Holy Spirit flows in your life you will experience the wonderful freshness. Rivers contain fresh water and rivers bring freshness to every dry place. Even the sea becomes fresh when the river is flowing into it.
Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the sea, and THE WATERS OF THE SEA BECOME FRESH. Ezekiel 47:8 (NASB)
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19).
