A Prophecy I liked

From Emerge Wales:

I had a vision recently from the Lord. In this vision I saw the River of God was very very wide. At the edges it was shallow and moved very slowly. But the deeper out you went the faster the current got. In the centre of the river it was like a torrent moving so quickly. The Lord explained this is what it is like in this season, for those who have one foot in and one foot out of the present move they show little or no progress (comparatively) over time. Those who are in the shallows are gradually moving but it takes years to see the change. They have to move forward through a lot of effort. But for those who have chosen to give themselves fully to this, they have ditched the old hag, the old wine skin and have thrown themselves in 100% they being swept away. They just let God take them. Before long they have moved into the distance and are in a new place. This vision is exactly what we're seeing. Those that debate the whack and try and do the old hag of religion seem to be plodding along. Their meetings look the same year after year. Others are going backwards, slipping back, loosing their footing, becoming critical because it doesn't look like they want it to look. They fear it. They resent it. They don't want to let go. But those that have really plunged in to this are in a turbulent fast flow of the river which is changing them so rapidly it is becoming hard to recognise them. Great faith and joy is manifesting in them. They are becoming a company of burning hearts - so melted in the fire, so in love with Jesus, so jacked up on the Ghost. Their testimony in heaven will be this - that their fire never died. They are burning for Jesus and burning for the world. It's a wild fire revolution that cannot be stopped.

And it has totally spoken to me about how we can so often hang on to what the man at the front says, be led by the hand always and not be willing to jump into that river of God and let Him just take us and go with Him. Its not even about running with Him but about letting Him just take us away and no longer be in control. Oh how we struggle to keep in control of all things!
