Summary
Rev. Drew Galloway explores the prophetic imagery of Ezekiel's river, challenging believers to move beyond just receiving God's Spirit to letting it flow outward to bring life, healing, and multiplication to their communities.
Key points
- •Water is a consistent biblical pattern for deliverance, starting from the Spirit moving over the face of the waters in Genesis to the river of life in Revelation.
- •The river of God in Ezekiel 47 is characterized by constant movement and an outward direction, flowing from the temple to the desert.
- •A spiritual 'Dead Sea' occurs when a believer or church only has an inlet (receiving) but no outlet (giving); stagnation leads to spiritual toxicity.
- •There is a 'miracle in the motion' where the river of God deepens and brings multiplication, life, and healing wherever it flows.
- •The New Testament temple is the body of the believer; therefore, the river of living water must flow out from the individual to their community.

Identify one 'Devin' or 'Joel' in your circle of influence this week - a friend, co-worker, or family member who is thirsty for God - and intentionally share your testimony or invite them to a Bible study to let the river flow through you.
Reflection questions
- Is your spiritual life more like a river with a constant flow or a stagnant pond that only receives?
- What 'dead things' in your life or family are you asking the river of God to bring back to life today?
- How can you practically ensure that the power you receive from the Holy Spirit is being used for its primary purpose: being a witness?

0:00Couple of weeks ago, I told our church
0:00at home said, "Do you ever ask someone
0:03how you doing?" In fact, it happened
0:05this weekend. I asked a young man, "How
0:06you doing?" And he said, "I'm here."
0:08Anybody ever heard that?
0:10>> It's It's kind of like we say it like,
0:13"I'm here.
0:16Can I tell you? You've been able to say,
0:19"I'm here."
0:21>> is more powerful than what you think it
0:23is.
0:24>> Because if you're here, then you're not
0:27there.
0:29>> I'm not there where the enemy thinks I
0:31should be and where probably I could be.
0:34So, it may not be much, but I'm here.
0:37And I've still got my hands up
0:40and I've still got my voice raised.
0:44Come on. I said, "The last 6 months have
0:46been [music] difficult, but I'm here.
0:51And since I'm here, I might as well
0:53worship. Since I'm here, I might as well
0:57pray."
0:59Come on, somebody. Let the enemy know.
1:01Don't he slay me, yet will I trust him.
1:04I'm here. I'm here.
1:08[music]
1:13Come on, somebody give Jesus a I'm still
1:15here praise. I'm still here.

1:28Amen. I'm going to turn quickly.
1:31Ezekiel 47. I feel like preaching this
1:33[music] morning.
1:35>> Amen. And I feel
1:38such a witness of God's spirit in this
1:41house.
1:42>> Why don't you turn to somebody and say,
1:43"I'm so glad you came to New Life
1:45today."
1:48Come on, look at somebody else and say,
1:49"Welcome home."
1:53>> Amen.

2:40five named Oliver and he stayed back. He
2:43had school and then also today at home
2:45is grandparents day. So Nana is there
2:48with him. And uh I'm sure he's not
2:50[music] missing us too much with Nana

2:56is here in Palmer and we have just had a
2:58great great time.

3:16It's been special to watch your worship,
3:18your response, your hunger. And if you
3:21have a son, daughter, niece, nephew, or
3:25just somebody that you know in this
3:27youth group, this young adult group, you
3:29should be [music] very thankful for what
3:31the Lord is doing here in this church,
3:33in this group of young people. Amen. One
3:35more time, can we give them a hand? I
3:38have been so blessed,
3:40so blessed

3:54And I'm [music] thankful that they would

3:57Of course, the one and only Brother
3:58David Jennings. Nobody like Brother
4:00Jennings. Amen.
4:04He's a friend, but really more like a
4:06brother, and I'm thankful for him, the
4:07family. And then I want to say a great
4:10big thank you to Pastor and Sister
4:12Bachelor. Anybody thankful for this
4:14great family?
4:17[cheering and applause]
4:19Brother Tenny always said, "You can tell
4:22how God feels about you by the leaders
4:23that he gives you."
4:26>> And God has blessed this great church
4:27with an amazing family.
4:30>> Amen. And
4:33I'm going to have to come back and visit
4:35because the only thing I didn't get to
4:36check off my wife and I is we didn't get
4:38to hear Sister Bachelor sing.
4:40>> And we were hoping to maybe she can sing
4:43at Altter Call. No pressure. But we're
4:45hoping to hear her singing. What an
4:47amazing, powerful woman of God. We love
4:49hearing her sing. Amen.
4:54[applause]
4:55>> And they have great children and I honor
4:57them. And Ginger's birthday was
4:59yesterday. I don't want to embarrass him
5:00too much, but happy birthday, Ginger.
5:04So, for his birthday, I gave him a
5:06couple L's on the basketball court.
5:07Forgive me, but it's all love.
5:10But somebody's got to tease these
5:11youngans.
5:14Ezekiel 47 and verse number one
5:18says, "Afterward, he brought me again to
5:19the door of the house, and behold,
5:21waters issued out from under the
5:22threshold of the house eastward, for the
5:25forefront of the house stood toward the
5:26east, and the waters came down from
5:28under the right side of the house, and
5:29the south side of the altar. Then he
5:32brought me out of the way of the gate,
5:33northward, and led me about the way
5:35until the utter gate by the way that
5:37looked eastward. And behold, there ran
5:38out waters on the right side.
5:42And when the man that had the line in
5:44his hand went forth eastward, he
5:45measured a thousand cubits and he
5:47brought me through the waters and the
5:49waters were to the ankles. Then he
5:51starts describing what happens. He says,
5:54"I go out a thousand cubits and now the
5:56water is not to my ankles, now it's to
5:58my knees. I go a little bit further and
6:01now the water is to my loins." And
6:04afterward, verse five, he measured
6:05another thousand. And it was a river
6:07that I could not pass over, for the
6:10waters were risen. It was waters to swim
6:14in, and it was a river that cannot be
6:18passed over.
6:21I want to preach to you for just a
6:22moment. I don't plan to preach very
6:23long, but I want to just share with you
6:25what I feel like the Lord has put in my
6:27spirit for this day. I want to preach to
6:28you. Look at your neighbor and say, "Let
6:30the river flow."
6:33>> Come on. Turn to your other neighbor if
6:35they didn't talk back to you and say,
6:36"Let the river flow."
6:39>> Amen. Give three people a high five and
6:40say, "You look great this morning." You
6:42may be seated.
6:55It's hard to fully express
6:57how important water is to our everyday
7:01lives.
7:03Do I have any nonwater drinking people
7:05in the building? Anybody get your water
7:07from Sweet Tea and Red Bull? And is that
7:10where you get your water from?
7:13The human body is 60% water. The Earth's
7:17surface is 71% water. Our brains are
7:21nearly 73% water. You can survive weeks
7:26without food, but only a few days
7:30without water. Every living organism on
7:32earth needs water to survive.
7:36But water is not just essential to
7:39biology, to science, to everyday life,
7:41but it's profoundly important in the
7:44scripture. In fact, you only get through
7:47one verse of the Bible before water is
7:50mentioned. Genesis 1 verse one. In the
7:53beginning, God created the heaven and
7:55the earth. And the earth was without
7:56form and void, and darkness was upon the
7:59face of the deep. And then God said,
8:01"Let there be light." And he begins to
8:03speak. But before that, the Bible says
8:05that the spirit of God moved on the face
8:10of the water. There is an immediate
8:12connection between water and spirit.
8:16>> We see the importance of water again
8:18just five chapters later in Genesis
8:21chapter 6. Sin had covered the earth and
8:23God would use water to flood the world.
8:26But the same water that judged the sin
8:29was the same water that lifted Noah and
8:32his family to safety. It was water that
8:35God used to cover the wicked. But it was
8:38also water that God used to carry the
8:40righteous. And God is a God of patterns.
8:43And he is establishing a pattern that
8:46there is water available for the sin
8:49problem. I'm thankful last night that
8:51there were two precious souls that were
8:54baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
8:58Amen. Because there is water available
9:00for the sin issue. And when sin covered
9:03creation, he used water to cover that
9:06sin and to cleanse his creation. It was
9:09water that cleansed a sinstricken world.
9:12Then if you go over to the book of
9:13Exodus, God uses water again, but this
9:16time a specific body of water called the
9:19Red Sea. The Red Sea became a path of
9:23deliverance for the people of God for
9:25Israel to lead Egypt. They had to pass
9:28through the water and under the cloud.
9:30And what is amazing to me is that the
9:33same water that delivered them is the
9:35same water that God used to drown their
9:38enemy.
9:39The water was an exodus for the people
9:42of God, but the water was an end to
9:45their past. The water was a way out for
9:49Israel, but the water was a liquid stop
9:51sign for Egypt. It was the water that
9:54provided an exodus and an end. It
9:58provided a way out for the people of
10:00God, but it told their enemy, "You can
10:03come no further."
10:05And can I just tell somebody that's
10:07exactly what baptism does in the New
10:10Testament church? When somebody goes
10:12down in the name of Jesus, it doesn't
10:15matter what you carried in the water.
10:17When you come up out of the water,
10:19behold, you are a new creature and all
10:21things are made new and old things are
10:24passed away. [cheering and applause]
10:29Just like Noah in the flood and Israel,
10:32even Egypt, water is the pathway to
10:34deliverance. When a person is baptized
10:37in the name of Jesus, according to the
10:39scripture, they are not just getting
10:41wet. They are not just going swimming.
10:44Come on. But it is for the remission of
10:46their sins. Paul said in Galatians 3,
10:49"For as many that have been baptized
10:52into Christ have put on Christ." He said
10:55in Romans 6:4, "Therefore, we are buried
10:58with him by baptism into death, that
11:00like as Christ was raised up from that,
11:02even so we also will be raised up and
11:05walk in newness of life, you're looking
11:07at somebody that still believes."
11:09There's something powerful that happens
11:12when somebody is baptized in the name of
11:15Jesus. [cheering and applause]
11:19And we believe if a person is going to
11:21be baptized according to Acts 4:12,
11:23neither is there salvation in any other.
11:26For there is none other name under
11:27heaven given among men whereby we must
11:30be saved. Colossians 3 says, "Whatsoever
11:33you do in word or in deed, you've got to
11:36do it all in the name of Jesus."
11:42[applause]
11:43>> Tell you how powerful the name of Jesus
11:44is. He uses the same liquid that we use
11:47for hydration. That when you speak it
11:49over somebody's life, when they are
11:51immersed in that water and you speak the
11:54name of Jesus, it's more than just the
11:56washing away of the flesh. Come on. But
11:58it is the remission of sins. I'm
12:01thankful today that if you are baptized
12:03in Jesus' name, something is different
12:06when you come up out of the water.
12:08[cheering and applause]
12:10Do I have anybody with a testimony that
12:13you remember what it was like to step
12:15down into the water and go down just a
12:18little bit deeper? It may have chilled
12:20your natural body, but it didn't chill
12:23your soul. Anybody still thankful that
12:26it's available for whosoever will?
12:29[cheering]
12:31[applause]
12:34It's impossible to separate the
12:37importance of water and its role in our
12:39spiritual life. Water was the first
12:41place the spirit of God moved. Water
12:43became the place in which God judged the
12:45world but saved the righteous. It was a
12:47pathway of deliverance. It flowed from
12:49the rock in the wilderness. It marked
12:51the boundary of the promise of Jordan.
12:53It was required by cleansing for before
12:55the Lord and so on and so forth. Water
12:58is important in the scripture.
13:02In fact, water is mentioned on both the
13:04Bible's first page and the Bible's last
13:08page,
13:09>> Genesis 1:2, we read it that the spirit
13:11moved upon the face of the water. But in
13:13Revelation 22, the Bible said, "And he
13:15showed me a pure river of water of life,
13:17clear as crystal, proceeding out of the
13:20throne of God and out of the lamb."
13:22Verse 17, "And the spirit and the bride
13:26say "Come."
13:28>> You know what we're saying to St. Louis?
13:30You know, we're saying to this
13:32community, we're saying come. [cheering]
13:35No matter what you bring, come. No
13:37matter what you've been through, come
13:39because there is a river of life that
13:41you can partake of. Does anybody want to
13:44tell this city? Come with all of your
13:47problems. Come with all of your burdens.
13:50Come. Because we know a God that can set
13:54you free. We know a God that can break
13:57every chain. We know a God. [cheering]
14:00[applause]
14:01>> Come on, somebody shout and say, "Come."
14:05>> It's the water.
14:06>> But the water wasn't just physical
14:08provision. It was a foreshadowing of
14:11what was coming. You see, the Old
14:14Testament uses these symbolisms and
14:16these pictures to point to a fulfilling
14:18day in the New Testament. That's why
14:20Isaiah said, "With with joy shall you
14:23draw water out of the wells of
14:26salvation." There is this picture that
14:29the that the prophets and the writers
14:30are painting. In fact, Joel uses this
14:33liquid language in Joel 2 and he says,
14:35"It shall come to pass that in the last
14:37days, God's going to pour out his spirit
14:40upon all flesh." And Jesus himself said
14:43in John 17, John chapter 7, in the last
14:46day of the great day of the feast, Jesus
14:49stood and cried, "If any man thirst, let
14:52him come and drink. He that believeth on
14:54me, as the scripture had saith, out of
14:57his belly shall flow rivers of living
15:00water. But this spake he of the spirit
15:02which was not yet given because that
15:04Jesus was not yet glorified.
15:08>> In fact, in John chapter 4, Jesus is
15:11having a conversation with this
15:13Samaritan woman and they have this
15:15conversation on water and the whale. She
15:18says, "How can you give me water? You
15:21don't even have a bucket to draw with.
15:23And Jesus said, "If you drink of this
15:24water,
15:25>> you shall thirst again but the water
15:28that I give. It's a river of Once you
15:32try this water, nothing else will ever
15:35satisfy."
15:37This is the water that's able to quench
15:39the thirst of the sinstricken soul.
15:42Anybody thankful for that water?
15:46[applause]
15:49But there is something that I feel like
15:52the Lord has shown me and I want to
15:54share with this great church this
15:55morning. God is a God of patterns. And I
15:59noticed a pattern in the scripture. It
16:02all started when God led me to the book
16:04of Ezekiel and I began to notice a
16:06pattern. Ezekiel 471. I want to read it
16:09again. Afterward, he brought me again to
16:11the door of the house and waters issued
16:13out. Everybody say out.
16:15>> Out. from under the threshold of the
16:17house eastward. Genesis 2 and10. And a
16:20river went out of Eden. Somebody say
16:23out.
16:24>> Out.
16:24>> To water the garden. Ezekiel 47:7. Now
16:27when I be when I returned, behold the
16:29bank of the river, there were many trees
16:31on one side and on the other. Verse 8.
16:33Then he said unto me, the waters issued
16:37>> out toward the east. Zechariah 14:8.
16:39shall be in that day that the living
16:42waters shall go
16:43>> out of from Jerusalem. John 7:38, he
16:47that believeth on me, as the scripture
16:49has said,
16:51>> out of his belly shall flow rivers of
16:53living water. Revelation 22 and 13, and
16:56it show me a pure river of life clear as
16:58crystal proceeding
17:00>> out of the throne of God and out of the
17:03lamb. Can I tell you there are two
17:05constants about water and scripture?
17:07Number one is there's always a flow.
17:12>> There's always movement.
17:15>> It is a river.
17:16>> It's not a pond.
17:18>> It's not a puddle.
17:20>> It's not something you contain. It's
17:22something you let flow.
17:25>> There is movement in the water. But not
17:28only is there always movement and
17:31there's always a flow, but there's
17:34always a direction.
17:38>> Ezekiel 47, water flowed out from the
17:41temple. Genesis chapter 2, the water
17:44flowed out from Enan. Zechariah 14, the
17:47water flowed out from Jerusalem. John
17:50chapter 7, the water flows out from the
17:52believer. Revelation 22, the water flows
17:55out from the throne. And every instance
17:57of river of living water, there's always
17:59emotion and there's always direction.
18:02[applause and cheering]
18:03>> The water does not stay in one place.
18:05It's always moving outward towards
18:07somebody that needs it.
18:12>> Can I tell you, there's something about
18:14this water that wants to flow out.
18:19>> Let me show you this picture. They have
18:21it. Any of you ever seen a picture of
18:23the Dead Sea?
18:25If you look at it from an aerial view,
18:27looks like a beautiful body of water.
18:30But the reason it's called the Dead Sea
18:32is the salt content is so high, about
18:3534% that nothing can live. What's
18:38interesting is the Dead Sea has an inlet
18:41called the Jordan River. The Dead Sea is
18:44fed by the Jordan River. And if you were
18:47to just step back and look, it looks
18:49like a beautiful body of water that
18:51would have all kind of living creatures
18:53swimming underneath the surface. But
18:55because it's so salty, it's too toxic
18:59for anything to live. And this is what
19:02they say. The reason that the Dead Sea
19:05is dead is because it has an inlet but
19:08no outlet.
19:11>> All it ever does is receive, but it
19:14never releases.
19:16And the the quickest way to get toxic
19:19and too salty is all you ever do is take
19:22in.
19:24>> But you never give out.
19:26>> Because I'm going to tell you, there is
19:28something about the nature of the spirit
19:31that says, "Don't keep me to yourself.
19:35Don't hold this in. Let me out. Let me
19:39out to your family. Let me out to your
19:41co-workers. Let me out to your neighbor.
19:44I've come to preach to your new life.
19:46It's time to let the river flow. It's
19:49time to let the river flow.
19:53[applause and cheering]
19:56>> Can I tell you what our city needs? They
19:58need the river of living water. Can I
20:00tell you what every addict needs? They
20:02need the river of living water.
20:04[applause and cheering]
20:05Come on. I'm thankful for what we did
20:07yesterday. Come on. We went out into
20:09that park. What are we trying to do?
20:11We're trying to let the water out. We're
20:13trying to let the water out. Yeah, we're
20:15giving you food and groceries, but I
20:17also want to tell them there is a river.
20:19There is a river. There is a river.
20:23[cheering]
20:25>> Come on. Would you lift up your hands
20:26right now and just pray, God, let the
20:28river flow. Let the river flowus.
20:37I've come to remind you, church, and all
20:39that God has already done, there are
20:41still alcoholics that need the river.
20:44>> There are still single mothers that need
20:45the river. There are still confused
20:48young people that need the river. Let us
20:50not get so comfortable what's already
20:52been done that we forget there's still a
20:54world to reach. Come on. There is
20:56somebody this morning that is drowning
20:59in their sin and they're just looking
21:01for the river of living water.
21:06>> [applause]
21:08>> Every time we teach a Bible study,
21:11pastor, we're letting the river flow.
21:14>> Every time I witness to somebody, I'm
21:16letting the river flow. Every time I go
21:19in my closet of prayer and intercession
21:21comes upon me and I'm praying for our
21:23city, I'm letting the river flow. And
21:27the church must come in agreement with
21:29the spirit because the spirit and the
21:32bride say, "Come, come and drink from
21:35the river of living water." Come on.
21:37There's enough here for you.
21:42>> I want you to notice something.
21:44Ezekiel begins to prophesy.
21:47He starts out by saying that there was
21:48water.
21:50>> It flowed from the temple.
21:53He said, "It went out 1,000 cubits. It
21:55was to my ankles.
21:57Went out another thousand cubits. It was
21:59to my knees. It was to the waist. And
22:02then a thousand more cubits. It was over
22:06my head. And it was rivers that I could
22:09swim in.
22:10>> Here's what I want you to notice. The
22:12further the water got from the temple,
22:16the deeper it got.
22:19>> There was multiplication
22:21in the movement as it flowed.
22:25It grew.
22:26>> All right.
22:26>> It be to grow. It be to grow. It be to
22:29grow. The further the water got from the
22:32temple. It grew further and deeper until
22:36the point that it was over their head.
22:37I'm going to tell you what's going to
22:38happen. Come on. As the river begins to
22:40flow from the temple, as it courses
22:42through every neighborhood, as it goes
22:44through every subdivision, there's going
22:46to be multiplication. Come on. There's
22:48going to be growth. Because the further
22:50it gets away, there's a miracle in the
22:52motion. If you'll let it flow, things
22:55are going to happen. I want to just tell
22:57you, church, there is no telling who the
22:59river will bring in if we will just let
23:03the river [screaming] flow.
23:07Some of you got children that you're
23:09saying, "God, I need the river to get to
23:10them." Some of you got prodicals that
23:13you're saying, "I need the river to get
23:14to them." Some of you got spouses that
23:17you're saying, "God, I need the river.
23:20[cheering]
23:22If we're going to be a growing church,
23:25>> we got to be a flowing church.
23:28>> We got to let the river flow. And to
23:30every alcoholic is sober, every
23:32addiction is broken, every prodal comes
23:33home, every marriage is restored.
23:37>> Watch this. Verse six, he said unto me,
23:40son of man, hast thou seen this? And he
23:44brought me and caused me to return to
23:45the brink of the river. Now when I
23:47return, behold, at the brink of the
23:50river, there were many trees on one side
23:52and on the other. Then he said unto me,
23:55these waters issued out to the east
23:57country that go down into the desert
24:00that go into the sea, and the waters
24:03shall be healed. But watch, I want you
24:05to I want you to get verse nine in your
24:07spirit today. And I want you to receive
24:09this as a word for your church. And it
24:12shall come to pass that everything that
24:15liveth which moveth, whethersoever the
24:18rivers shall come, it shall live.
24:23>> Can I just I don't care how long it's
24:24been dead. When the river shows up, life
24:28is coming.
24:30>> Come on. I need somebody to believe this
24:32right now. It doesn't matter how long
24:34it's been dead. Come on. When the river
24:36shows up, life is coming back. Life is
24:39coming back. Life is coming back.
24:43[applause and cheering]
24:45Hear me. New life church. Everywhere the
24:47river goes, it shall live. There shall
24:50be a great multitude of fish. And
24:53because the waters come this way, they
24:55shall be healed. Here was what the
24:57prophet said. Everywhere the river goes,
25:00there's going to be life. There's going
25:02to be multitude and there's going to be
25:04a healing. Everywhere the river goes,
25:07there's going to be life and there going
25:09to be multitudes and there's going to be
25:12a healing. Can I just tell you, if we
25:14let the river flow, there shall be life
25:17and there shall be multitudes and there
25:20shall be healing.
25:23>> Somebody lift up your hands right now.
25:25Would just lift up your voice. He cut
25:27them.
25:30>> Come on. I need somebody to help me pray
25:32right now. Let the river flow. Let the
25:35river flow. Let the river flow.
25:46>> Here, hear me church. The prophet saw
25:50>> the waters
25:52start at the temple, but it did not stop
25:55at the temple.
25:58>> Why is this important? Because in the
26:00New Testament, there was a transition.
26:03The temple is not a building. The temple
26:05is a body.
26:07>> The temple is not a place. The temple is
26:09a people.
26:11>> Paul said, "What know ye not that your
26:14>> your body our bodies is the temple of
26:17the Holy Ghost?" That's what Jesus said.
26:20And I know I've said it twice already,
26:21but let me say it a third time. When you
26:23receive the Holy Ghost, out of the
26:26temple, out of your belly shall flow
26:29rivers of living water. Here's what you
26:31got to get. The water starts at the
26:34temple, but don't let it stop at the
26:36temple.
26:39>> Come on. I said it a moment ago. There's
26:41something in the DNA of the Holy Ghost
26:43that says this isn't just to you. It's
26:46supposed to flow through you. You are a
26:49living vessel. Come on. We have this
26:51treasure, an earthn vessel.
26:55[cheering]
26:57>> [applause]
26:58>> And I don't know about you,
27:00>> but this water's too good
27:03>> to keep to myself.
27:06[applause]
27:07>> Brother David, when I think about what
27:09the water brought me out of,
27:13>> when I think about all the ways the
27:16water made for me and my family,
27:20come on. When I think about all the
27:22chains the water broke off of my life,
27:26why would I keep it to myself? Why would
27:29I keep it to myself?
27:32Come on, new life. Let it flow. Let it
27:34flow. [cheering]
27:36[applause]
27:40>> Everywhere the river goes, Brother
27:43Braxton, there's going to be life and
27:44there's going to be multitude and
27:46there's going to be healing. Somebody's
27:48got to make up your mind. I'm going to
27:50let the river flow.
27:54>> I won't be much longer. Jeremiah said,
27:55"My people have committed two evils.
27:59They have forsaken the fountain of
28:01living water and they have huned out
28:03systems,
28:06broken systems that cannot hold water."
28:09At the church, I want you to look, get
28:11on Google or his smarter brother Chad
28:14GPT.
28:17What does a sister look like in
28:18Jerusalem? In Jeremiah's time, it's
28:22going to look like a big hot tub or a
28:24swimming pool where they were trying to
28:26hold water for drought purposes. This is
28:28what God said. My This water, it's not
28:31supposed to be contained. Don't put it
28:34in a system. Let it flow.
28:37This water doesn't want to be damned up.
28:41This water doesn't want to be held up.
28:43This water wants to have movement and it
28:46wants to have direction. It wants to
28:48move, but it wants to move outward
28:51because the water knows, come on. If I
28:54can get to your family, I can do for
28:56them what I did for you. [cheering]
28:59[applause]
29:02>> I'll tell you. I'll tell you where this
29:05came alive to me, Pastor Bachelor. This
29:08past January, my family and I moved from
29:11my home church where I got the Holy
29:13Ghost. I was baptized 16 years ago. My
29:16wife and I were married there. Children
29:18were dedicated there. We moved to the
29:20Lake Charles area, Westlake, Louisiana.
29:23And I'll never forget this final home
29:26from my youth conference and it was
29:29going to be my first Sunday to preach
29:32there as executive pastor. And I had
29:34been praying all week. I said, "God, I
29:37want you to give me a word that puts my
29:40heart into a message
29:43that I could preach it and it would give
29:46the people insight to everything that
29:47I'm about."
29:49And the Lord led me to Ezekiel 47 and he
29:52began to show me about this water.
29:56He said, "Drew, I'm sending you to
29:58Westlake because the people in that
30:00community need the water
30:03>> and you've got to challenge the people.
30:05Don't hold it to yourself. [snorts]
30:08Let it flow. And I preached kind of a
30:11version of this that morning. There was
30:13a man in our church and I told our
30:14church, I said, "Would you leave the
30:15rest the the church today and go to the
30:17restaurant, wherever you drive to, just
30:19as you're driving, just let the river
30:21flow." Just pray it. God, I want the
30:23river flow. You go to the restaurant.
30:25You know, it'd be weird. I don't want
30:27you to get kicked out of the restaurant
30:28or anything, but just declare, "Let the
30:30river flow."
30:31And there was a couple in our church
30:33that went to a set cow that day. And
30:34they had a waiter. His name was Devin.
30:36And they met Devin. They got to talking
30:39and Ginger. They got to talk about
30:41basketball. And they said, "Our new
30:43pastor loves to play basketball. We're
30:44starting a small group tonight. You
30:45should come." So Devin showed up. He had
30:47a Space Jam jersey on.
30:50>> He's got these ginormous baggie shorts,
30:53got the kicks on, long flowing hair. You
30:56know, I noticed that when somebody has
30:58like really nice hair, I'm like, "Man,
31:00that's awesome.
31:02I'm so happy for you."
31:05I rejoice with them that rejoice.
31:08And I coven not,
31:12though I be follically challenged.
31:16But I met Devin, showed it to him week
31:19two weeks later. And I didn't grow up in
31:21the church. I remember my first time in
31:23the Pentecostal church. I was like,
31:24"This is awesome."
31:29And I'm slightly
31:31terrified.
31:34So, I walked up to Devon, Sister Baser.
31:36He's He's in the altar and he's like,
31:38he's got his hands up and I put my arm
31:40around his shoulder. I was like, "Devin,
31:42is this awesome?" He's like
31:45I was like, "Are you terrified?" And
31:47he's like,
31:49"So, I'm like, Devin, we should meet for
31:51a Bible study. Let's have coffee. Let's
31:53get to know each other. I'd love to
31:54explain this to you. He was like, "Let's
31:56do it tomorrow." I said, "Let's do it
31:58tomorrow." So, we went to Starbucks. We
32:01sat across from each other. We began to
32:03tell each other our story. And he began
32:05to tell me his story. He said, "When I
32:07was just a young child," he said, "My
32:09dad found out that I was on the spectrum
32:11and he left me and my mom. He wanted
32:13nothing to do with me." He said, "Then
32:14my stepdad came into my life and he
32:17would beat me because I resembled my
32:19biological father."
32:21And he said, "Two weeks before you moved
32:23here," he said, "I don't know much about
32:26God. I've always been hungry for him."
32:28He said, "Two weeks before you moved
32:30here, I begin to pray, God, if you're
32:34real, I need you to send somebody into
32:38my life [snorts] that can help me."
32:42And he said that Sunday, he said,
32:45"Brother Matt came into a restaurant and
32:47he told me about you." And he said, '
32:49Then I came to church last night and
32:50here we are. And I began to tell Devin
32:52about the gospel.
32:55And when I started talking about baptism
32:57in the name of Jesus, something lit up
33:01in his face. He said, "Pastor Drew, I've
33:04never heard about this. I need to be
33:06baptized and I want to do it this
33:08Sunday."
33:10>> I said, "Devin, that would be awesome."
33:13I said, "Tell me a little about a little
33:15bit about what you do." And he said,
33:18"I'm an Elvis impersonator."
33:25I said, "No, no, no. Like, for real." He
33:27goes, "No, I'm dead serious. I perform
33:31at the casinos and the nursing homes."
33:33Then he showed me this picture.
33:37I was like, "Oh, you are for real."
33:41I mean, I noticed he had the chops, but
33:43I'm like, "No, you're you got the whole
33:44outfit.
33:46He said, "Yeah, I'm an Elvis person." I
33:48said, "Man, that's I get to baptize
33:50Elvis. This is awesome."
33:53He came to church that Sunday. I want
33:55you to watch this. Go to the picture of
33:56him getting baptized right after he was
33:57baptized. That was that Bible study
34:00Thursday, baptism Sunday. [cheering]
34:05We met for our second Bible study on
34:08Monday.
34:10He said, "Pastor Drew, I'm going to the
34:13barber shop tomorrow." And I thought,
34:15why would you do that?
34:19He said, I don't want to be like Elvis
34:21anymore.
34:23[cheering]
34:23>> So I thought I would be funny. Dad joke.
34:25I said, "Oh, you want to be like another
34:27king?" He said, "Yes, I want to be like
34:30the King of Kings." [cheering]
34:32[applause]
34:34>> He showed up to midweek. Go to the next
34:36picture. He showed up to our midweek
34:38Bible study, had the suit coat on. You
34:40know what happened on Wednesday night?
34:42God filled heaven with the gift of the
34:45Holy Ghost.
34:47Come on. I'm telling you, there are
34:49people that are hungry. [screaming]
34:52[cheering]
34:55We just got to let it flow. I'm telling
34:57you, if you'll let it flow, Devin's
35:00waiting on the river. If you'll just let
35:02it flow, Elvis is waiting on the river.
35:05[cheering]
35:06[applause]
35:08>> So, here's what we did. We started
35:10meeting for Bible study every Wednesday
35:12night at 6 PM going through exploring
35:15God's word. We met every Wednesday night
35:18with the exception of youth camp weeks.
35:20We finished lesson 12. I said, "Devon,
35:23here's your chart and here is a book. Go
35:27and find somebody. You have a Devon in
35:29your life."
35:30>> We still meet for Bible study every
35:31Wednesday. We went through exploring
35:33God's word. Then we're just doing kind
35:35of a expository study on different
35:38chapters in the Bible and we meet every
35:40single Wednesday. And I said, "Devin,
35:42find somebody." He text me. He said,
35:44"Pastor Drew, I've got a friend coming
35:46to church. His name is Matthew. He just
35:49got out of the military. We've been
35:50disconnected for years. We got
35:52reconnected and he's hungry for God." I
35:54said, "Bring him." Matthew came to
35:56church on Sunday morning and he was in
35:58the altar and and I could tell, same
36:01thing. This is awesome.
36:04But I'm not real sure what's going on. I
36:06said, Devin, he needs a little
36:08understanding. Teach him a Bible study.
36:11Devin took me so serious. They did not
36:14go to lunch. They went to our student
36:16center and they had a Bible study
36:17because we were having church that
36:18night. We had a special Sunday night
36:20revival. He texted me about 1:00 p.m.,
36:22"Pastor Matthew wants to be baptized in
36:26Jesus name."
36:28>> [applause]
36:30>> So that Sunday night, Matthew got
36:33baptized in Jesus' name, but he also got
36:36filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost.
36:38They're now on lesson five of exploring
36:41God's word because there's something
36:43about the river. I said, "If the river
36:45did it for me, I know it'll do it for
36:48somebody else."
36:50[cheering and applause]
36:53I'm telling somebody, you're starting to
36:55fill it well up. Come on. Let the river
36:57flow. Let the river flow. Let the river
37:00flow. [applause and cheering]
37:02>> Stand with me. I'm I'm I'm finishing.
37:06>> Then last week, this is last Monday.
37:09>> Devin text me. He said, "Pastor, he did
37:12the six-month Bible plan." He finished
37:13that. We're meeting for Bible study
37:15every week. The same nursing homes that
37:17he went in to do his Elvis shows. There
37:19was an open door. So now he brings a
37:22sound system and he goes in there and
37:23preaches. He's going to be preaching
37:25this Saturday and this Sunday in the
37:28local nursing homes.
37:31[applause]
37:34Three weeks ago in youth service, our
37:36youth pastor felt led to let Devon share
37:38his testimony. Our creative guy filmed
37:41it and shared it on our social media
37:42about 8 minutes long. It's powerful with
37:45Devin had an old friend. He said, "Money
37:48night, pastor, I couldn't shake it. I
37:50was praying God lead me to somebody
37:52else.
37:55lead me to somebody else. And he said, I
37:57woke up Tuesday morning and I had a
37:59message from my friend Joel. He said,
38:02Devin, I know we haven't talked in
38:03years, but I came across your testimony
38:07on Facebook.
38:09And he said, I've been struggling
38:12because I don't know if I'm really
38:13saved.
38:15Can you help me?
38:17He said, absolutely. They met for Bible
38:20study Tuesday night. Devin text me
38:23Tuesday night, "Pastor
38:25Joel wants to be baptized tomorrow night
38:29at midweek Bible study." This guy's only
38:32had the Holy Ghost since the end of
38:34February, the beginning of March, and
38:37he's already got two people that he's
38:39won to the Lord. [applause]
38:43Because there's something about the
38:45nature of the river
38:48[applause and cheering] that once it
38:49flows to you,
38:51>> it wants to flow through you.
38:54[applause and cheering]
38:56>> Do you see the picture of me, Devon, and
38:57Joel? This was last Wednesday night.
39:00Last Wednesday night, Joel got baptized.
39:02Go to the next picture.
39:06That's Joel in the middle.
39:07>> Devin doesn't even look like the same
39:09person. I said, "Man, the Holy Ghost
39:11makes you look 10 years younger."
39:14I said, "If he can do it for you, maybe
39:15he can get my hair back."
39:19We were getting ready to baptize Joel. I
39:22said, "Brother Deon taught Joel a Bible
39:23study." Brother David, I said, "How do
39:26y'all know each other?"
39:29He said, "We met at an open mic night.
39:34We're both used to be Elvis
39:36impersonators.
39:42And they went from the king of rock and
39:43roll to the King of Kings and the Lord
39:45of Lords. Joel got baptized in Jesus
39:48name. They're both that church this
39:51morning. I'm going to just tell you, New
39:52Life Church, something happens. I said
39:55something happens. If I could just get a
39:58young person or a family that would say,
40:00"You know what? It's time for me to let
40:03the river flow. There's a Devon in my
40:05world. There's a Joel in my world.
40:12I could go on and on about what the Lord
40:15has done for my mom, about what the Lord
40:17has done for my sister and her husband.
40:18They were on the brink of divorce last
40:20fall. She text me. She said, "We see
40:23that you're preaching by our house.
40:25We're coming." It was a Tuesday night.
40:28They showed up. Their marriage in
40:29shambles. Neither of them knew anything.
40:32Neither of them were living for God. But
40:34they came that Tuesday night. They loved
40:36us so much. that came back Sunday night.
40:38God filled my sister with the Holy
40:40Ghost, filled her husband with the Holy
40:42Ghost.
40:47Just before they got into the church, my
40:50sister had a bad wreck and my niece, who
40:52was 10 years old, didn't have her
40:54seatelt on, she was in a coma. She
40:57almost passed away. And we prayed and
40:59God spared her life. And then my
41:0110-year-old niece got the Holy Ghost.
41:04And then a few weeks later,
41:08because of this wreck, something damaged
41:10her eyes. And she had these big thick
41:12glasses on at 10 years old. And just a
41:14few weeks after she got the Holy Ghost,
41:16she went to a service and there was a
41:18preacher preaching saying, "God is a
41:20miracle worker." And my 10-year-old
41:22niece just got in the church, walked
41:25down to the front and said, "If God's a
41:27miracle worker, he can heal my eyes."
41:29They prayed for her. She went to the
41:31optometrist. He said, "You now have 2020
41:34vision, she no longer has to wait." I'm
41:36going to tell you, everywhere the river
41:38flows, there will be life and there will
41:41be multitude and there will be healing.

50:04The Bible says in Acts chapter 1, "But

50:14you.

50:17"And you shall
50:19be witnesses."
50:22>> The power is the water.
50:25>> The purpose is to be a witness. And when
50:28you have all of this power, but you keep
50:31it locked up, it can create frustration

50:37Holy Ghost,
50:39>> Brother David. I can't explain it.
50:41There's something about the water.
50:46It wants to go out. It wants to go out.

59:30There is a sweet presence of God from
59:32the front to the back. And I know he's
59:34moving in your life right now. Lord
59:36Jesus,
59:43let it flow. Let it flow. Let it flow in
59:45this house right now.
59:51Let it flow, Jesus.
59:58Hallelujah.
60:01We're getting ready to have a baptism.
60:02So, I'm going to be quick this morning.
60:04[music] I know God is stirring and he's
60:06moving in your heart. If you're praying,
60:07you keep on praying. But I know there's
60:09perhaps some of you that are ready to be
60:11baptized in Jesus name. Brother
60:14Galloway, thank you for preaching that
60:15word this morning. You mentioned
60:17something and you said, "Oh, yes."
60:19You mentioned something and you said,
60:21"Do you remember what it was like before
60:23you got baptized?"
60:25I was seven years old.
60:28>> I I you know I was almost a perfect
60:31child.
60:33>> I I know I had some things wrong with
60:35me, but I was seven. But I made up in my
60:37mind I made a decision for myself that I
60:40was going to be baptized in Jesus
60:41[music] name. I don't have a history
60:43like others perhaps that didn't get
60:46baptized till later on in life. And so I
60:48do remember a little bit of what it was
60:50like before. But I can tell you my
60:52testimony is that I can remember what it
60:54was like afterwards.
60:57I can remember that every time the enemy
60:59tried to come and he tried to confuse
61:01me, he tried to condemn me, he tried to
61:03bring up my past, tried to tell me that
61:05God didn't love me, I pointed to the
61:07water and I said, I remember whenever I
61:09went down in Jesus name and I was
61:11brought into his family.
61:13Every time the enemy comes and tries to
61:15lie to me, I point back to the water
61:17like our dear sisters getting ready to
61:19do in Jesus name. And I remember I've
61:22got a testimony. I may not have
61:23remembered so much before, but I got a
61:25testimony after of what Jesus has done.
61:28Is there anybody that's got a testimony
61:30that he's kept you? That this moment
61:33changed you?
61:37>> Parker, raise that sign. We're going to
61:38baptize three in the precious name of
61:40Jesus. But if you're ready to be
61:42baptized in Jesus' name, don't wait
61:44another moment. Don't wait another day.
61:46The Bible says today is the day of
61:49salvation. Now is the acceptable time.
61:52We're not guaranteed tomorrow. We're not
61:54guaranteed 20 years from now. If you
61:56feel the Lord tugging on your heart, I
61:59dare you to step out right now. Come
62:01over to this sign and we'll lead you to
62:03a place to baptize you in Jesus name.
62:05One more time as we're getting our
62:07sister ready. Would you lift your hands
62:08right now and ask God to keep on moving
62:11and speaking to people's hearts? Let it
62:13flow. Come on. That's it. Lift your
62:15voice right now in Jesus name.
62:19Thank you, Jesus.
62:22>> All right. This is Sister Debbie. She's
62:24already been filled with the baptism of
62:25the Holy Ghost. Speaking in tongues in
62:27the back room and right now, she's just
62:29ready to make her life right and be
62:31baptized in the name of Jesus.
62:34>> Hallelujah.
62:49Okay, here we go. Sister Debbie, on the
62:53profession of your faith and your
62:55obedience to the word of God, it is my
62:57privilege to baptize you in the saving
62:59name of Jesus Christ.

69:41I wanted to give you the opportunity
69:42because I know most of you were like,
69:43"Listen, I came to worship. I came to
69:45praise, but I also came to give." So, I
69:48didn't want you to miss your opportunity
69:50and your blessing to give your tithes

70:31is. if I give one tank of gas so that a
70:34missionary
70:36can be provided a vehicle. If you could
70:38do that now, some of you I know can give
70:39a whole lot more, but I'm going to
70:40challenge you to do that. And we're
70:42going to be a blessing to our
70:44missionaries as we give to them. Thank
