Text: Ezekiel 11:1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of YHWH'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 47:1-5 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. (2) Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. (3) And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. (4) 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 were to the loins. (5) 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.

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.

I. Ezekiel is taken to the house of YHWH.
• By the way, that’s always the place the blessings start – in the house of YHWH.
• You hang around the assembly house, like this one, and you’ll get blessed sooner or later.
• The water began at the house of YHWH.
• 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 assembly.
• The best place to invest your tithe is the assembly.
• More people get saved at the altar of a scripture preaching assembly than all other places put together.

Romans 8:13-15 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of YHWH, they are the sons of YHWH. (15) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Children should be taught that sabbath morning they go to Assembly. After all you make your children go to 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.

The first step was this:
01. He kept on walking. Are you saved? Okay.
02. Get Baptized. Are you Baptized? Okay.
03. Join an Assembly. Have you joined an Assembly? Okay.
04. Start Tithing. Are you tithing? Okay.
05. Start working for YHWH. Okay.
06. Read your Bible every day. Are you reading your Bible every day? Okay.
07. Spend some time alone with YHWH every day. Are you doing that? Okay.
08. Lead someone to Messiah. Be a witness for Him.
09. But keep on walking eastward. Don’t ever stop! Keep on growing!

II. The Water Was Ankle Deep
• Shallow believers have stopped here.
• Their feet are covered.
• Get your feet busy for YHWH.
• Go deeper.

III. The Water Was Knee Deep
• Keep on growing in grace until you become a man or a woman of prayer.
• Some of you have been saved for 10 or 20 years and are still wading in ankle deep.
• The water has never gotten up to your knees yet.
• You don’t know a thing about the power of prayer.
• Get in the water up to your knees!
• Fall down on your face before YHWH.
• Some of you have never made your way down to an old fashioned alter.
• Get in the water up to your knees! Move the hand of YHWH!

IV. The Water Was Up To His Loins.
• The loins represent strength.
• The scriptures say to gird up your loins.
• Be Strong!

Ephesians 6:10-11 (10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in YHWH, and in the power of his might. (11) Put on the whole armour of YHWH, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

• Don’t get discouraged easily!
• Don’t be a quitter!
• Be strong in YHWH!

V. Jump In Over Your Head.
• The deeper I get in the water, the less of me that shows.
• And the less of my flesh that is magnified.
• The reason you don’t win souls is because of the flesh.
• The reason you don’t pray is because of the flesh.
• The reason you don’t stand for YHWH as a strong believer is because of the flesh.
• So, jump in all the way!

Conclusion: Are you content with a mediocre life with Messiah? Are you barely covering your feet this? YHWH wants you to keep going eastward! Don’t stop growing. YHWH has been good to us. We owe our lives and all that we have to Him!
