• As the purpose, process, and power
• Of all I desire most

Immanuel Approach Memo

Continued from 5/26 IAM: Seismic

I am… a flood.

I have become
The wave of Jesus
Crashing into
The islands of man

Toppling their idols
Drowning their lies
Sinking their pride

I look for Jesus.

He is standing
On the top
Of the highest mountain
On each island

Above the flood
But not for long

He draws a breath
And calls the water
From every end of each island
And the waters come to Him
Flowing uphill
Reversed rivers

He stomps His feet
And makes a crater
That fills with water
Holy water

Jesus looks to me.

He says

“Come to the water
Stand by my side
I know you are thirsty
You won’t be denied”

I start to protest
Surely the tsunami
Ruined the land
With its salt water

But as I climb
The mountain of God
I taste the living water
And realize
It is no longer bitter

The call of Jesus
Purified the water
And me

I look to Jesus.

“Lord
What would you have me do?”

He smiles

“You’re gonna love this!”

To be continued

Reflection

I feel…

• Refreshed
• Called
• Purified
• Drained
• Ashore
• Established

Scripture

“But as for you, Israel my servant, Jacob my chosen one, descended from Abraham my friend, I have called you back from the ends of the earth, saying, ‘You are my servant.’ For I have chosen you and will not throw you away.”
