being, but we must remove the

dams. We can no longer allow bit-

terness, envy, or strife to hinder the flow of the river of God. We cannot

afford to allow anything that other

people say or do to us to hinder that flow.

I don’t know America nearly as well as I do other places because I have been away too long, but I know that in Jerusalem we have hundreds of individualistic people who come to serve the Lord. Most of them have never learned to flow with anybody else. God wants a people that can flow together for His glory. This is not my river, and it is not your river. It is God’s river, and it belongs to all His children, the Body of Christ universal. We will have to learn to flow with Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Catholics, and Orthodox alike.

The name is unimportant. Learn to yield to the Holy Spirit and flow together with your diverse brethren.

River Glory

We will never flow together in our minds. The Living Creatures that Ezekiel saw were not joined together at the head. We will not learn to flow together by sitting down and coming to some common understanding. We will be joined together at the wings, the place of soaring. It is our wings that enable us to soar together in the Spirit, and that is how we will be joined. Our joining will be in the flow of the river of God.

God wants to send forth rivers of living waters from our innermost being, but we must remove the dams. We can no longer allow bitterness, envy or strife to hinder the flow of the river of God. We cannot afford to allow anything that other people say or do to us to hinder that flow. Let the Lord use His dynamite to remove those dams now. Remove the dam called “the opinions of men.” Remove the dam called “the fear of men.” Remove the dam called “the desire to please men.” Let your only desire be to yield to the life-giving waters of God’s river.

When people are hungry for God, whether they are Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims or Jewish people or New Agers, God visits them. In Jerusalem God is visiting both the Arabs and the Jews and causing them to have visions and dreams and revelations of who Jesus is. Very soon now we will all know as Peter that God is “no respecter of persons.”

God is reaching out to the Muslim world and Unity in the River

sending great Holy Ghost revival, and if He can do it among the Muslims, why would you doubt that He can do it among the people of your church?

Church after church will be swept up in the great flow of His river. Tear down the barriers that have been built up in your own mind.

It is not a time to concern ourselves with minors. Let us stick to the majors. If we get caught up in the

struggle over small things, we

might miss what God is doing.
