Receiving The Decender

Receiving The Decender…

Jesus headquartered His ministry in Capernaum, north of the Sea of Galilee, where the Jordan River flows into the sea. Israel’s main river, the Jordan, “Yarden” in Hebrew means “to descend; the descender.”

It starts from the mountains and flows down. It’s a symbol of Jesus, the One who comes from the heights and descends to earth. It’s also the place where Jesus, the Descender, healed the sick and crippled and touched people’s lives.

Here’s the secret. The blessing of Jesus pouring out His life doesn’t mean anything if we don’t receive it. The Galilee has to receive the Jordan. Those who are healed, born again, redeemed have to receive it.

Jesus’s life is always flowing more blessings than you could ever contain. If your life isn’t being blessed, it’s not because He’s not blessing. He is who He is. It’s because we’re not being like the Sea of Galilee and receiving.

Receive the One who comes. You’ll be blessed with all the blessings He has, just as the Jordan River flows into the Galilee.

They will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God their Savior. Psalm 24:5

Open up your heart, mind, soul, and strength today to let Jesus flow through every part of your life.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
