Flow in the river of the Holy Spirit

SUMMARY: Dr. Awilda Tejera, a theologian and anointed woman of God, speaks on the topic of the Holy Spirit and baptism in Ezekiel 47:1-5. She emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the movement of God's spirit and being willing to enter into His presence. Just as in the vision of Ezekiel, God is offering abundant water and the glory of His presence, but we must take action and enter into it. To do so, we must leave behind the shore of our past, indifference, and carelessness, and keep our faith in God.
The prophet Ezekiel sees a vision of a river flowing out of the temple, and he is taken by an angel to witness its power. The angel shows him that the river gets deeper and deeper, and the prophet must immerse himself in it to experience its fullness. The river represents the Holy Spirit and the presence of God, which brings blessings and healing. The prophet sees trees on the banks of the river, representing the blessings that come from being close to God. The lesson is that we must enter into the presence of God to experience His blessings and healing in our lives.
The story of Naaman, the leper, in the Old Testament teaches us that we need to immerse ourselves in the river of God to receive healing and blessings. The riverbank is described as having abundance, with many trees and fish, which speaks to us of the variety and abundance that God has for us. If we stay close to God and immerse ourselves in His presence, we can experience His blessings and be filled with the Holy Spirit. It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can do extraordinary things and reach lives for Christ. We need to seek God for who He is and enter His river with genuine hearts, and He will pour out His blessings upon us. When we get into the river of God, it is for our own blessing and for the blessing of others, as we become instruments of God's love and grace.
The river of God represents his presence and when we immerse ourselves in it, we receive blessings and the ability to bless others. The waters of the river come from the sanctuary, or the presence of God, and it is important to seek and enter into his presence to receive his anointing and fulfill our ministry. Spiritual euphoria without purpose is a waste of time, we should seek fulfillment, closeness with God, and the blessings that follow. We cannot minister in any area without it being given to us by God, and to receive it we must keep ourselves in his presence and drink from the waters of the sanctuary. God wants to entrust his anointing to us, and all the glory will be for him. If we need more of God's spirit, we should come forward and receive prayer and a word of blessing.

I now have the privilege of introducing our sister, Dr. Awilda Tejera. Awilda is a woman we have known for many years, with her beloved husband, Raúl Tejera. They are now in Dallas, Texas. They went too far and were pastoring a congregation that we helped plant in the East Boston area that is now pastored by a young man who also left our congregation, Alan Juárez; and we are united by many years of relationship, of knowing each other, of working together in the ministry.
Awilda graduated and did her Ph.D. at BU, right? Boston University in theology and we've met her, that career, it's such an effort she's made to educate herself and she's a an anointed woman, filled with the Holy Spirit and she is going to speak to us precisely in tune with what we are preaching these days about baptism, anointing, filling, the life filled with the Holy Spirit.
