The Healing Waters of God (Ezekiel 47:1-10 & 12)... Being Mindful of God's Eternal Presence/ Rashea@LLO2 Academy

Being mindful of God is essential to our Christian preservation as born again believers called to be a light (conformity to the Ways, Word and Will of God through salvation and spiritual regeneration) in a world of darkness (conformity to the ways of the world by resisting salvation and practicing sin). 

.Being mindful of God's presence is therapeutic to all areas of our lives. 

.Being mindful of God's presence is the doorway to heart peace.

Being mindful of God is to be thoughtful; to consider; to think about or take interest in; to accommodate; to set one's thoughts on as to show concern for.

.Being mindful of God's presence leads to divine peace, prosperity and good success. 

.Being mindful of God's presence is the catalyst to new heights, depths and dimensions of revelation. 

.Being mindful of God's presence is the inner resolve that one's dependency does not result in one's own strength, abilities, power, influence or intellect, but rather in God's Who is the ultimate power Source and Force.

You Lord will guard, protect and keep me safe from endangerment and harm. You will secure and surround me with divine protection, encompass and defend me. You will fight for me and keep me in perfect peace as I constantly keep my focus, character and thoughts on You and toward You, because I commit myself to You, leaning my hope and faith on You and proclivity into You. -Isaiah 26:3

Being mindful of God's presence requires a level of mental and emotional meditation that is fixed on the Word of God and the presence of God. One must focus their thoughts and emotions on God and channel into Him through mindful meditation. To channel into God is to draw (pull in; absorb; concentrate; focus) one's thoughts and emotions toward him through mindful meditation.

Ezekiel 47:12 reveals that the flow of the river heals our thoughts and our emotions as we steadily focus on God in our intellect, emotions, will and character (how we conduct ourselves in public and in private).

Being mindful of God releases God's divine peace. God's divine peace is given to us as we meditate on God and God's Word through daily prayer and some kind of regular devotional time with God. 

.God's divine peace is a gift (John 14:27). 

.God's divine peace is the combination of His divine blessing and His divine favor in the natural realm and the spiritual dimensions of the eternal (Isaiah 26:12).

God's divine peace restores and resurrects us back to life, governing the then, the now and the future of our lives (Isaiah 26:19). 

God's divine peace releases the supernatural dew of light (the glory of God over the earth). It, also, releases growth & healing (Isaiah 26:19).

The Bible declares that the Lord will ordain peace (God's divine favor and blessing) in the natural and spiritual for us and our works (purpose, duties, dreams, vision, mission, etc.) -Isaiah 26:12

.God's divine peace brings deliverance from our enemies, the enemy's premeditated ambushes and corrupt governments that lead to distress, over exertion and oppression (Isaiah 26:16-19; Ezekiel 37:11-22).

.God's divine peace is an established covenant that renders divine blessing which multiples in abundance. This peace brings the presence of God to us forever (Ezekiel 37:26; John 14:21 & 23).

.God's divine peace is an established relationship between God and the born again Christian (Ezekiel 37:22 & 24).

.God's divine peace, also, establishes a leadership that shows concern for the people. The leadership is unified and promotes unity. God's leaders will possess the heart of a leader that is aligned with God's heart. 

.Godly leaders have a standard of righteousness. They practice the Bibe without being dictators or religiously oppressive. As leaders, we are called and ordained to walk and work along side other leaders and people, in both the sacred and secular world as light bearers who are mindful of God's presence. (Ezekiel 34 & 37:24 & 25). The Book of Proverbs speaks in depth about how leaders are urged to keep God in their daily business.

The healing presence of God is mindfulness, peace and healing. The presence of God, according to Ezekiel 47, has the power to restore us in all facets of our lives. It consist of deep waters that heal us and reach the deepest parts of our lives making us holistic.

 

The prophet Ezekiel says this in Ezekiel 47:5, "Afterward He (the Lord) brought me to waters measuring another one thousand cubits from shore, but this time it was a depth that I could not pass through, for the waters had surpassed a depth that I could pass through."

When I read this I thought to myself, "So Lord, what are you saying?" He revealed to me that God's presence serves as protection against intrusion and invasion. It, also, is a barrier which keeps us from passing over into circumstances that can overwhelm us and put us at risk of being in harms way. In the Book of Psalms, God often times promises to be a Fortress (a Defender, Protector) for the uncompromisingly righteous. 

He said to me, "Son of man, have you seen this? Then, He led me back to the shores of the river bank (Ezekiel 47:6)." God is our eternal Guide. He will lead us to a place of safety where the circumstances of life are not so overwhelming for us or harmful to us. He empowers every Christian to know Him personally and to see His divine power, presence, protection and guidance.

The guidance of God serves as an anchor and harness that guides us into the presence of God through the circumstances of life. Like Ezekiel discovered, there are depths of God that are unsearchable. Without the revelation and power of the Holy Spirit to help us we would be and feel overwhelmed while searching for the right answers. But thank God for the Holy Spirit Who is a Comforter. He provides logical, yet divine answers, to help us navigate through our everyday lives.
