The swimming lesson from Ezekiel

While God changed Ezekiel in His River, He was changing the whole landscape around Ezekiel at the same time. Conditions change with anointed people and anointed churches.

In our element

When we are in the Spirit we are unconquerable, invulnerable, going from victory to victory, our life hid with Christ in God.

The image of love

- God’s own image in man was the image of love, until the storms of sin ruffled the waters and the reflection was distorted.

But God was not outwitted. He invested all He had for everyone who ever lived.

- The love of God in a man’s soul is one hundred times finer and more noble than any motive that has ever driven him.

For us and to us

A loveless Gospel is a contradiction – a sea without water, sun without light, honey without sweetness, and bread without substance.

The Gospel is ultimately nothing other than the expression of God’s infinite love for us.

Love motive

He gave a new definition to the word love by going to the Cross.

Love restores relationships

Jesus was moved with compassion. It was no mere condescending act of charity. It was the irresistible instinct of a mother or father snatching back a child from danger.

Love restores relationships

Jesus had a fatal attraction for the wretched. It led Him to a cruel death, but that was no consideration to Him. He would bring His healing touch to broken lives no matter what. We read that in the eyes of Jesus.

Love restores relationships

God is a consuming fire. He is all love, a furnace burning for His creatures.
