(English) In this message Ps Rod talks about the renewal of vision in the following points:
1. The Birth of Lifehouse - Vision of the Wave
(John 7:38 NIV) Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
(John 10:10 NIV) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
A Vision of:
- A joyful community
- Salvations
- Baptisms
- Healings
- Growth in all areas of life
2. Refreshing of Lifehouse - The Vision of the River of God
Four levels of The River of God (ankles, knees, waist, over our heads)
(Ezekiel 47:1-6 NIV) The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. (2) He then brought me out through the north gate and led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side. (3) As the man went eastward with a measuring line in his hand, he measured off a thousand cubits and then led me through water that was ankle-deep. (4) He measured off another thousand cubits and led me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another thousand and led me through water that was up to the waist. (5) He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in—a river that no one could cross. (6) He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river.
Today: Level One - The Ankles
-Paddling in the River of God
-OT Greek: “The waters of release”
(Matthew 6:14-15 NIV) For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (15) But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
(Colossians 3:12-13 NIV) Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (13) Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Cleansed and forgiven in the River of God
(John 13:3-7 NIV) Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; (4) so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. (5) After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. (6) He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” (7) Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
“Do you see this?”
(Ezekiel 47:6 NIV) He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?”Then he led me back to the bank of the river.
“Do you perceive this?”
(Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV) “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. (19) See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
