Lord, would you show me how Heaven comes to me?
The source of everything starts out as my sovereign choice. I wanted to save you…and the others. The way I chose to do it was through blood. So a clear river of life is born out of shed blood, the Lamb. All things come forth out of heaven because of that blood. It is so important. Of utmost importance. It’s why I call it the cleansing blood. How can blood clean anything? Blood is messy, in the natural. In the natural it’s a sign of death. But in the spiritual the blood is life. It is that very life that causes you to have life.
You see the water, the river, clean and pure. Look at what Jesus said. He said to come and drink of Him. Remember the Feast of Tabernacles. My people had to totally, completely rely on me for their every physical need (in the wilderness). There was water there. They were afraid they wouldn't have enough, in the natural. Jesus promises there is an unlimited supply of water in the Spirit for all who would believe in Him and drink it. He describes it as a river flowing.
If I’m speaking to you, Ellen, you can trust me, what I say. The words are only as valuable as the quality of our relationship. It is my voice that will be as a river to you, and you access it by delighting in me and that allows me to show you how much I delight in you . How do you abide in me? Through my voice speaking. How do I abide in you? As you listen to my voice and it becomes revelation to you, in your heart. As you begin to flow in this way, you will produce fruit and have full, green leaves of healing for others to draw from.
You know that’s not where it ends. Father prunes when He sees fruit, because He likes more fruit. With more fruit, more people are touched. The blood, the river, the water, the vine, the fruit, and the leaves— they are all the same and for the same purpose: that people would know God. That’s why he loves you to produce more and more fruit. When people get a taste of the fruit being produced through you, it is the same thing to them as tasting God, and they will know the Father better. So the river flowing out of you is the same thing as the fruit being produced through the branch. I used the branch (picture), because it’s easy to picture a dead branch connected to a living vine. That shows the idea that it’s possible for a branch to die even though it appears to be attached to the vine. It’s attached, but there’s no flow there. So spiritually, you can check to see if you’re attached to the flow of God by seeing if there’s fruit in your life. You can always get back in the flow of God by coming back to me and hearing my voice, and my words will once again bring life to you and through you. This is what the Father wants. He doesn’t want any dead, lifeless, fruitless branches. And you know what the dead branch is—it’s religion.
