Episode 146: If God says it's possible, I WANT IT!

Ezekiel 47:1, 8-12 - 1 Then he brought me back
to the door of the temple, and behold, water was issuing from
below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple
faced east). The water was flowing down from below the south end
of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar. 



…8 And he said to me, “This water flows toward
the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, and enters the
sea; when the water flows into the sea, the water will become
fresh. 9 And wherever the river goes, every
living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very
many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the
sea[e] may become fresh; so everything will live where the river
goes. 10 Fishermen will stand beside the sea.
From Engedi to Eneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of
nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of the
Great Sea. 11 But its swamps and marshes will
not become fresh; they are to be left for salt.
12 And on the banks, on both sides of the river,
there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will
not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit
every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary.
Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for
healing.”

Psalm 1:1-3 - 1 Blessed is the man who walks not
in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his
delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates
day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by
streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its
leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

John 15:1-11 - 1 “I am a true sprouting vine,
and the farmer who tends the vine is my Father.
2 He cares for the branches connected to me by
lifting and propping up the fruitless branches and pruning every
fruitful branch to yield a greater harvest. 3
The words I have spoken over you have already cleansed you.
4 So you must remain in life-union with
me,  for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch
severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be
fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine.
5 “I am the sprouting vine and you’re my
branches.  As you live in union with me as your source,
fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live
separated from me you are powerless. 6 If a
person is separated from me, he is discarded; such branches are
gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned.
7 But if you live in life-union with me and if
my words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you
desire and it will be done. 8 When your lives
bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are my mature
disciples who glorify my Father! 9 “I love each
of you with the same love that the Father loves me. You must
continually let my love nourish your hearts. 10
If you keep my commands, you will live in my love, just as I have
kept my Father’s commands, for I continually live nourished and
empowered by his love. 11 My purpose for telling
you these things is so that the joy that I experience will fill
your hearts with overflowing gladness!

Galatians 5:22-23 - 22 But the fruit produced by
the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied
expressions: joy that overflows,  peace that subdues,
patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of
virtue,  faith that prevails, 23 gentleness
of heart, and strength of spirit. Never set the law above these
qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.
