Yesterday at MIT, students from various campuses across the Northeast gathered to hear the word of God through the visions of Ezekiel.
Our word for the night was: “Go with the flow.”
In Ezekiel 47:1 we see a river flowing out from the house of God signifying the Triune God as the water of life, flowing to quench His people’s thirst and to bring life wherever the flow goes.
In Ezekiel 47:4–5, we saw that the deeper the river becomes, the harder it is to keep walking by our own effort. At a certain point, you cannot remain in control—you have to let the flow carry you. That is the Christian life and the church life. The deeper the flow of God is in us, the more we let go of our self-effort, our own plans, and our own strength, and allow the Spirit to lead.
Ezekiel 47:8 says that when the river flows into the sea, “the water of the [dead] sea is healed,” and verse 9 says, “Every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes shall live.” This river heals the Dead Sea. All of us have places of death in our life that can become places of life. Areas that feel salty, barren, and lifeless can be swallowed up by God as life. College life can often be filled with pressure from classes, difficult social situations, and endless striving, but as we turn to the Lord and enjoy His flowing life, there is healing, restoration, and real supply.
We sang, “Drink the living water… Rivers flowing free… Have Your way in me…” This reminded us that to have Him is to drink Him. As we drink of Him, we are delivered from self-dependence into flow-dependence.
The visions of Ezekiel remind us that God’s goal is not merely that we would be inspired for a night, but that His eternal purpose is to save people from salty and dead situations into a real relationship with Himself so that He may flow into them and gain them as the church, the Body of Christ.
The question asked to Ezekiel is also a question to us: “..Have you seen this?..” (Ezek. 47:6)
Lord, make us those who do not merely study the flow or sing about the flow, but those who go with the flow until You fill us completely and gain the house that satisfies You.
