Jump In All The Way

Text: Ezekiel 11:1 “Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.”

Ezekiel 47:1 “Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.”

Ezekiel 47:9 “And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.”

Intro: A little girl came to her new mother and said, “Mommy, may I have a drink of milk, please?” The mom gave her a big, tall glass of milk. The little girl reached out, held the glass of milk in her hands, looked up at her new mommy and said, “Mommy, before I drink, how deep may I drink?” The mother brushed a tear from her cheek and said, “Sweetheart, drink it all. It’s all yours. You don’t have to share it any more with other children. It’s all for you so drink it all. Drink it all.”

I. Ezekiel is taken to the house of God.
• By the way, that’s always the place the blessings start – in the house of God.
• You hang around the church house, like this one, and you’ll get blessed sooner or latter.
• The water began at the house of God.
• What better place is there to get saved in.
• What better place is there to grow spiritually.
• The best place to invest your life is the church.
• The best place to invest your tithe is the church.
• More people get saved at the alter of a Bible preaching church than all other places put together.

Romans 8:13 – 15 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”

• Children should be taught that Sunday morning they go to church.
• Sunday Night they go to church.
• Wednesday night they go to church.
• You make your children go to public school.

As Ezekiel walked 1/3 of a mile the water got ankle deep, another 1/3 of a mile knee deep, another 1/3 of a mile waist deep, another 1/3 of a mile it was over his head and he was swimming.
