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
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).
Anointed Story Telling that cause Digging Deep & Spirit Led searches of inner importances- what drives us, really matters to us, (found journaling for me...) to Have!
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.
