In the last few weeks, this comes up a lot in our Praise and Worship times and even in the times we pray as intercessors for the church. The word is based on chapter 47 in Ezekiel. When we enter God's presence, do we want to enter completely? Do we want to IMMERSE ourselves fully into HIS presence?
Do I want to be in the water of the flow of HIS presence ankle deep? Knee deep? Sholder deep? or fully immersed?
SO now when I worship...I imagine our church building as a huuuuuuuuuge swimming pool. As I enter, to I jump in and swim a bit and then dive under the water? Or do I stand and watch from a distance as others jump in and worship in Spirit and in truth? Do I even get jealous of them? Do I only stand in the water of of LIFE and still hold on to my control of the situation oder do I let go, let go and immerse myself in the Father's arms?
I tell you something:
I want to immerse myself fully in HIS presence, I want to let go of all and give HIM everything. I want to swim and dive and get wet in the water of HIS love!!
