Father God says to you, “I see you standing on the shore as the tide flows in and out, ebbing and flowing. You see others who have moved out into the deep and you long to go, but you seem stuck. It’s time to move and take a step of faith into the movement of my waters, one step at a time – ankle deep, knee deep, waist deep. Every step requires a laying down of self. The question is ‘Do you really want to go deep with me?’ Move into the deep.”
Ezekiel 47:3-6 MSG
He walked to the east with a measuring tape and measured off fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water that was ankle-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water waist-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet. By now it was a river over my head, water to swim in, water no one could possibly walk through. He said, “Son of man, have you had a good look?”
