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.

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.
