Life Lesson Notes
Title: “God’s Power is Restricted by Us Frequently”
Text: Ezekiel 47: 2, 6-8, 11
Topic: Life Grows Wherever the River Flows
Thesis: The prophet Ezekiel had a vision of the millennial temple; but, within his revelation is a message to believers today of the abundant Spirit-filled life that can be enjoyed by them. God’s power resides in the believers (His temple) today. Yet, too often we willfully or ignorantly quench God’s power!
Point 1: The Result of the Impasse of God’s Power (2, 11)
A. There is Hindering
B. There is Thwarting
C. There is Losing
Point 2: The Result of the Impute of God’s Power (6-8)
A. There is Healing
B. There is Thriving
C. There is Living
