The Prophet's Vision
Therefore, just as this text was a Vision of The Prophet Ezekiel, so also is this our BCC Vision given by God. This is our Vision, (and story), and we art sticking to it! Amen!

• Position compared to our current Condition
• We could be positioned “in” The River, in the water, but not conditioned to swim at that level depth.
• Our depth position may be to the knees or worship, but we may not pray consistently, nor in the content of ankle-deep, nor effectively, and with fruitful answers.
• Recollecting last Monday morning’s waking hours..., this kind of praying is not praying with our own wish list per se..., but...Relational, Intimate, Time

Ezekiel 34:11-12c, 15-16
11 "For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them...
15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. 16 I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice.

GOD type Life- enjoy, abundance, full, overflows
Jesus The Christ was sent to be The Good Shepherd

John 10:10 AMP
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [a]overflows).

In pictorial form Jesus Christ is The Door:
John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.
Threshold-(1.) Heb. miphtan, probably a projecting beam at a higher point than the threshold proper; also rendered "door" and "door-post."

Out There?
i.e. Go Out into the World

Brian Zanhd
The relationship of the Jesus follower with the wider world is complex. The believers attitude towards the world is neither one of assimilation nor segregation. It’s easy enough to assimilate through compromise or segregate through isolation; but neither is faithful to what Jesus calls us to do. This makes being a disciple of Jesus tricky. The Apostle John refers to the “world” many times, in fact, more often than all the other writers of the New Testament combined. And John makes it clear that we are to love God’s good idea of human society, but not its fallen arrangement. The arrangement of the world is formed by a greedy desire for power, pleasure, and possessions. It is a world arranged around lust instead of love. As disciples of Jesus, we are called out of the world, made into saints, and then sent back into the world. We are to be fully engaged with our culture, but as carriers of God’s grace.

Out There?
Acts 2:1-4,5
1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.

Ezekiel 47-1-12
"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. 2 Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate that faces toward the east; and behold, the water was trickling out on the south side.
3 Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep. 4 Again he 4 Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was waist-deep. 5 Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. 6 And he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen this?"Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 As I went back, I saw on the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. 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 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."

Revelation 22:1-3
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him.

A Church's Programs: "What a church uses as their programs is because they believe it will work to cause people’s lives to grow, increase, and ultimately be transformed. They believe in it."

Kingdom of God
Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Who WIll Pull People Out?

Ezekiel 3:15 Then I came to the captives at Tel Abib, who dwelt by the River Chebar; and I sat where they sat[dwelling, living], and remained there astonished [overwhelmed, appalled] among them seven days. 16 Now it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me:

Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end.

~ our dear Aryne Robinson, world traveller and desire to be called to a country, asked sister Ana a profound question...

~ “Is pastor experiencing Reverse Culture Shock?”

~and again i find myself humbled to be the one sharing, when many of you are widespread world travelled and/or from other countries and speak multiple languages

~Let us be found in faith prayerful and praying to God, in HIS Son of Whom The entire Volume of The Book of The Bible pertains of Jesus The Christ, Amen...

Introduction

1. As the plane descended, I began bellowing prayer of belief based upon a Word spoken...
a. when you touch the ground, you feel the ppl
b. supernaturally that night i dreamed a part in spanish
c. the lives we felt in the slideshow, and who’s lives actually reversed and touch us live in simplicity, sincerity, and strength

2. Travelled to touch our lives, we have entitled this: Who will Help the ppl come from under the bus?

~To throw (someone) under the bus is an idiomatic phrase meaning to sacrifice another person (often a friend or ally), who is usually not deserving of such treatment, out of malice or for personal gain.

~The phrase has been widely popularized by sports journalists since 2004 and was picked up by the mainstream media during the 2008 primary season. It has frequently been used to describe various politicians distancing themselves from unpopular or controversial figures.

~Our application as Spirit-Filled, Word based BCC ByStanders are to Help not throw nor stand by
~Do we agree?

3. To Catch the Content of this Bus we shall walk through:
a. bringing every1one under this “light” Burden
b. delighting in the joyousness of the Blast we had
c. having sat where they sat, we have Become them
d. celebrating with BCC ministry the Blessings

Burden
it is here that my soul began to whimper for the ppl

Blast
incredible amount of fun unprecedented perhaps unexpected

Become
a help not by giving or doing as much as sitting where ppl sit, and identifying with them as ppl not projects

Blessings
Word was Treached, lives were saved, spoke prophetic truths into individual lives at multiple Altar Calls & anywhere

and Expressed by the members’ lives.

1. Introduction: Mark 10:15
15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." 16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them. 17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" 18 So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. 19 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not bear false witness,' 'Do not defraud,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'" 20 And he answered and said to Him, "Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth." 26 And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?" 27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible." 28 Then Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You." 29 So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's, 30 who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time — houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions — and in the age to come, eternal life.
