Dr. Adrian Rogers: THERE ARE PEOPLE IN YOUR VERY OWN FAMILY WHO NEED THIS RIVER OF REVIVAL. AND JESUS SAID, “IF ANY MAN THIRST, LET HIM COME UNTO ME AND DRINK.” DON’T COME TO ADRIAN. DON’T COME TO BELLEVUE. DON’T COME TO A SERMON. COME TO JESUS AND DRINK OF HIM TODAY. ARE YOU THIRSTY? DO YOU WANT JESUS? THEN THANK GOD, THANK GOD, YOU MAY HAVE HIM.
Announcer: PROFOUND TRUTH. SIMPLY STATED. THIS IS LOVE WORTH FINDING WITH PASTOR, TEACHER, AND AUTHOR, ADRIAN ROGERS. Dr. Adrian: I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR BIBLES TODAY AND TURN TO EZEKIEL 47. AND THE PASSAGE THAT I’M GOING TO READ TO YOU AT FIRST WILL BE A LITTLE ENIGMATIC. IT’LL BE A LITTLE CONFUSING. BUT THERE IS A DYNAMIC MESSAGE FOR US IN THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE.
NOW, I’M GOING TO READ THE FIRST FIVE VERSES TO YOU AND I WANT YOU TO FOLLOW ALONG. EZEKIEL 47:1, “AFTERWARD, HE BROUGHT ME AGAIN TO THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE,” NOW THE HOUSE HE’S SPEAKING OF IS THE TEMPLE, “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 UNDER, FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOUSE, AT THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ALTAR.
THEN BROUGHT HE ME OUT OF THE WAY OF THE GATE NORTHWARD, AND LED ME ABOUT THE WAY,” “UNTO THE OUTER GATE BY THE WAY THAT LOOKETH EASTWARD, AND, BEHOLD,” “THERE RAN OUT WATERS ON THE RIGHT SIDE. AND THE MAN,” “THAT HAD THE LINE IN HIS HAND WENT FORTH EASTWARD, AND HE MEASURED A THOUSAND CUBITS, AND HE BROUGHT ME THROUGH THE WATER; THE WATERS WERE TO THE ANKLES.
AGAIN HE MEASURED A THOUSAND, AND BROUGHT ME THROUGH THE WATERS; THE WATERS WERE TO THE KNEES. AGAIN HE MEASURED A THOUSAND, AND BROUGHT ME THROUGH; THE WATERS, THROUGH; THE WATERS WERE TO THE LOINS. AFTERWARD HE MEASURED A THOUSAND; AND IT WAS A RIVER THAT I COULD NOT PASS OVER; FOR THE WATERS WERE RISEN, WATERS TO SWIM IN, A RIVER THAT COULD NOT BE PASSED OVER.
