Have you ever felt like a “fish out of water” in a place where you suspect you don’t really belong? You feel totally “out of your depth”, unsure and uncomfortable (it could be at a party or a social gathering) That is how we often feel when we jump out of the FLOW of the Holy Spirit and follow our own agenda. We are suddenly out of our "natural element" that God created us for...........
As Christians we tend to jump in and out of the “river” of God described in Ezekiel 47:9 and wonder why we don’t feel fully alive anymore.
“Everything touching the water of this river shall live. Fish will abound in the Dead Sea, for its waters will be healed. Wherever this water flows, everything
will live"
The river in this passage is a picture of the Holy Spirit flowing into our lives bringing His supernatural power, energy and life.
My encouragement to you today is to stay in “the river” and let “the river” stay in you.
Don’t be a fish out of water!
Stay in!
Stay deep!
Don’t pull yourself out to wait on the river bank only observing what God is doing but not getting involved.
Stay in “the flow” of His Holy Spirit. Let His Goodness wash over you continually.
You know what happens to a fish out of water – it dies.
The devil is a poacher. He will try different lures to get you out of the flow. He wants to catch you on one of his hooks, pull you out of the river and put you in his bucket of containment on the river bank – flapping around and gasping for life!
