the river god
Isaías Rivera
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The passage from Ezekiel describes a river that comes from the threshold of God's altar and has the power to heal broken hearts and lives. The speaker challenges listeners to enter the river and not stay on the shore as spectators. They emphasize the importance of taking risks and fully committing to the presence of God, rather than just getting their feet wet. The river represents a path towards personal growth and a deeper connection with God. The speaker also notes that being on their knees in the river represents humility and a willingness to submit to God's plan. The passage encourages listeners to trust in God and join the purpose and direction of the river.
The speaker shares a personal story of going to the beach as a child and disobeying his father by going into the water without a bathing suit. He then relates this to the idea of fully committing to the Kingdom of God and surrendering control to God's river. The river represents God's plan and purpose, and by floating in it, we trust God to lead us where we cannot go on our own. The speaker encourages listeners to go deeper in their relationship with God and fully commit to His plan, trusting that He will take care of the rest. The vision ends with a description of fruit trees growing on the banks of the river, symbolizing the blessings that come from being fully committed to God's plan.

Says the word of the Lord this afternoon, "Then he made me return to the entrance of the house and, behold, waters came out from under the threshold of the house towards the east, because the facade of the house was to the east and the waters descended from below, towards the right side of the house, south of the altar.
And he brought me out by the way of the north gate and made me go around the outer way outside the gate, to the way that faces the east and I saw that the waters were coming out from the right side. And the man went out toward the east, lifting up a line in his hand, and measured a thousand cubits, and led me through the water up to my ankles. He measured another thousand and led me through knee-deep water.
