Prophetic High Seas and the shipwreck in Ezekiel
There is a place I believe and envision where we are adrift in prophetic high seas...The waves here can be powerfully still awaiting revelation as well as tumultuous waves of tempest or trial. Even the most adept often can find oneself drowning and overwhelmed by the storm.
I was visiting San Francisco with a friend, it was late nite and we decided to park by cliff house to see the peaceful nite ocean view. I decided to walk behing the building where only a cement wall separated me from the sea. i was surprised to see huge stormy midnite waves crashing violently and darkly into the deep. The waves were high and crashed a violent echo into my spirit. The moon covered by an ere mist caught movement of light on these huge waves and revealed to me the depth and strength voluptuousness ready to envelop anything into its dark majestic waters. I suddenly felt the fear of it all, what if God let this display wall of protection down? I would be swept out into the unknown dark and raging waters before me. Would i have the faith and endurance to survive? soon the view had revealed to me not a peaceful scene but a glimpse of the stormy powerful yet beautiful shifting of the High Seas...
We have come to a time to learn how to sail our ships in stormy dark waters and to behold his majesty. "Launch out into the deep" a time to leave the comfort zone of a peaceful scenery...to learn to sail and stand prophetically in the waves of storm and testing grounds....to sail on prophetic High Seas...here in the midst of vast sea, explosive of deep emotional channels shifts in your tides of understanding and movements of brokenness against the shores by high waves are our borders established....
Ezekiel 27:4 "thy borders are in the midst of the seas"
There in the high seas a storm is crashing us against the rocks of foundations....A brokenness so deep and vast that serves to refine us spiritually to awaken our senses in the nite darkness...
Things broken and left to drift, changes and shifting of things within us, releasing of the waves of strongholds and offences...Ezekiel 27:4 "The east wind has broken you in the seas".
The time is open and flowing, adrift at sea awaiting direction, awaiting hope, not anchored to anything.....lost at sea....In prophetic open sea where vision is vast and waiting....called to "call things forth that are not" by faith adrift, your borders in the prophetic word..Always casting the net of vision from your ship. Set your sail in the direction of his word. Map your course in wisdom. Sail into the unknown seas..yet in these seas of thought....Isaiah 51v10 "The sea a way for the ransomed to pass over."
Ezekiel released a strong prophetic word concerning shipwreck Ez 27: 1-25...
The great ships of Tarshish typrus that was so prosperous, so self contained and confident in thier riches personal glories, denying Gods open sea majesty...Their ship was perfected in appearances in attitude they instilled..."I am my own God.. in control of my destiny." Perfected by borders of merchandizing surrounded by ones own glory and pride. At that time comes when thou shalt be broken by the seas...Ezekiel 27v34..Tyre trusted in their riches...Tyre was a wealthy Capital that sold Jewish slaves...their ways brought them into deep waters of shipwreck. Ezekiel 27v27...Their eventual shipwreck was due to pride of thier riches and the oppression of a people...Ezekiel announced the shipwreck of their merchandizing ways upon the seas... God showed Ezekiel the shipwreck vision ; that he was going to do a new thing in the land and sea....
Tyre and her ships rejoiced in Jerusalems fall because they would become richer on it...But God let Tyre suffer a much greater fate. Alexander the Great took the city in 332 BC....Tyre was so devastated that the ancient site can no longer be identified. Prophesied that the riches of tyre would be thrown into the sea...today the site is buried under the water forever shipwrecked as prophesied by Ezekiel....
Are you shipwrecked among the ruins of Tyre?
Feeling you have lost everything and are adrift in open sea. in a place of emptiness with no direction? yet Ezekiel prophesies later in 47:8.....The waters shall be healed...The sea a way for the ransomed to pass over...
Luke 5:4 Launch out into the deep....throw out your anchor in his prophetic word. In this brokenness...borders and foundations ,refinement can be established. Brought by your shipwreck to a place where you think nothing is happening, hope has sank, the vision is scattered among the ruins. The ship is washed up on the shore of some deserted place unknown..Yet here in this place of shipwreck in open seas....
The Power of prophecy still comes to past.....
things happen here at:
"The shipwreck that will bring you to the shift."
