Our Church had a great surprise on Sunday morning. We were visited by a good friend of our Church, Reini Haimann.
Reini was a missionary in Romania for more than 10 years, and then moved back to Switzerland, but he does come to visit every time he has a chance. Pastor Rares saw an opportunity and asked him to share something with us and even though it was more like a sermon, but we were really built up by his message.
Reini read from Ezekiel 47:1-12
”The man brought me back to the entrance of 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. the water there becomes fresh. 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 flowing from the south side. 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. 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. 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. He asked me, "Son of man, do you see this?" Then he led me back to the bank of the river. When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. He said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Sea. When it empties into the Sea, Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds--like the fish of the Great Sea. But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”

1 Corinthians 6:19
"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own"
Due to the fact that we are the temple of The Holy Spirit, there is the River of the Spirit flowing through us, the same River that Ezekiel saw.
”Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:38

It's up to each us , how much of this River flows through our lives. The more you lose control, the more God is in control. The more you step further in His presence, the more you find yourself deeper in Him and in His will for your life. This River is meant to bring life wherever it flows.
Fishermen will stand along the shore of this River and they will catch much fish. Jesus called us to be fishermen of men.
The trees that will be on the sides of this River will bring forth fruit, every month, and this fruit will serve for food and it's leafs for healing.
We know from Galatians 5:22, what is the fruit of the Spirit of God. If we bring forth the fruit of the Spirit, this fruit will feed the hungry and heal the sick, because these fruits are not for ourselves, but for others. How do we bring fruit? If we remain in Jesus. John 15:5 says "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

Let us remain in Him so that we might bring forth fruit for His glory. Amen.
