Fruitfulness in running waters

Psalm 74

2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. 4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. 7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.


13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons (behemot) in the waters.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan (crocodile) in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.

1. LEVIATHAN ROBS THE FRUIT!

1. One of the reasons we don’t see more people saved in the Church and in the cells is because of demonic influence in the midst of God’s people. In the book of Psalms Asaph is remembering the Lord of what is going on and he is praying for the deliverance. He says that the enemy has done wickedly in the Sanctuary and that those enemies roar in the midst of the congregation. In verses 5 and 6 the Bible says on another translation that the superior entrance of the sanctuary is destroyed with axes and that the work of the enemy is to pull down the dwelling place of the Name of God

2. We can understand that the enemy doesn’t want us to be fruitfull and the Bible shows also in this Psalm that the Lord is able to brake the heads of the dragons and also the head of Leviathan into pieces. The Bible also says that the Lord will give those heads so the people of the desert will eat them and as a consequence we can see a flooding in the rivers that once where dry.

3. The Bible refers to Dragons (water monsters) and Leviathan (Crocodiles). These are demonic powers that live in swamps. As I was traveling in Louisiana, USA I heard someone talking about the swamps they have there and they wher saying that where there is no renewal of waters there are swamps and this is the place where all sorts of snakes and alligators live. In the Bible the crocodile is called Leviathan and we now that this is one of the most powerfull families of demons in the spiritual realm.

The main Spirit operating under this cast of demons is Pride. Here are some of the Manifestations of the Spirit of Leviathan:

1. Anger

2. Anti-submissivness

3. Arrogancy

4. Boasting

5. Cursing

6. Disobedience

7. Ego

8. Independence

9. Manipulation

10. Mockery

11. Prejudice

12. Rage

13. Rebelion

14. Selcentered; Self-exaltation; Sel-promotion

15. Unwilling to admit wrong; unwilling to apologize; unwilling to change

16. Vanity

17. etc.

2. THE REVIVAL ECO-SYSTEM
Job 41 (Amplified)
1CAN YOU draw out the leviathan (the crocodile) with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
2Can you put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook or a spike?
3Will he make many supplications to you [begging to be spared]? Will he speak soft words to you [to coax you to treat him kindly]?
4Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant forever?
5Will you play with [the crocodile] as with a bird? Or will you put him on a leash for your maidens?
6Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?
7Can you fill his skin with harpoons? Or his head with fishing spears?
8Lay your hand upon him! Remember your battle with him; you will not do [such an ill-advised thing] again!


1. Leviathan is a powerfull cast of demons that has to be attacked with prayer and fasting. In the book of Job also tells us that we cannot defeat Leviathan on our own. The Lord has to do it for us!

2. Another thing that I’ve discovered about Leviathan is that he doesn’t like fresh waters. This will make him run to another swamp. It is our responsibility to have the fresh waters of the Holy Spirit running in the Congregation!

3. We need to create a “REVIVAL ECO-SYSTEM”. The only way to change a swamp into a fertile land is to dry out the swamp completely and afterwords we need to make sure that we have running waters

3. THE KEY TO DEFEAT LEVIATHAN AND BRING REVIVAL IS FRUITFULNESS AND RUNNING WATERS!

Psalm 1
1 BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.
2 But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.
3 And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].


In verse 3 says shows streams of water. Leviathan cannot live by the streams of water. Prosperity will come to the person who has the roots close to the stream!
1- Dont walk in the ways of the World.

• We need to be sanctified and separated from the ways of the World.

2- Don't Stand in the sinners walk

• Relationships and ties to the world need to be severed. Specially romantical involvment with people that are not saved.
3- Don't seat with the scornfull and mockers

• This has to be with people that are negative, contrary, critical or sarcastic about the vision.It says seat because they are sitted on their back end and they don't do nothing. When they can do what you are doing then they can speak until then don't allow them to speak.

• Faith can be cancelled by words of doubt.Don't let your twelve seat around with critical people.
If a person is not sanctified they cannot be fruitfull.

4. THE TEMPLE HAS TO BE A PLACE OF LIVING WATERS

Ezekiel 47
1THEN HE [my guide] brought me again to the door of the house [of the Lord--the temple], and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple was toward the east; and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the temple, on the south side of the altar.

2Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around outside to the outer gate by the way that faces east, and behold, waters were running out on the right side.


9And wherever the double river shall go, every living creature which swarms shall live. And there shall be a very great number of fish, because these waters go there that [the waters of the sea] may be healed and made fresh; and everything shall live wherever the river goes.
10The fishermen shall stand on [the banks of the Dead Sea]; from En-gedi even to En-eglaim shall be a place to spread nets; their fish shall be of very many kinds, as the fish of the Great or Mediterranean Sea.
11But its swamps and marshes will not become wholesome for animal life; they shall [as the river subsides] be left encrusted with salt and given over to it.

1. How many of you know that Leviathan cannot dwell in the temple? This is because of the living waters. Where the water runs there is no proper eco-system for an alligator.

2. Verses 9 and 10 speak about a “Miraculous catch” and a multitude of fish.

3. By other hand verse 11 says that all the swamps will be taken care when we encrusted them with salt. The crocodile cannot live where salt is. Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth and the way to produce it is sanctification.

5. WE NEED TO CONTINUOUSLY YIELD A FRESH CROP
Revelation 22
1THEN HE showed me the river whose waters give life, sparkling like crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb
2Through the middle of the broadway of the city; also, on either side of the river was the tree of life with its twelve varieties of fruit, yielding each month its fresh crop; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing and the restoration of the nations.
1. We can see that in the next order of things we have the Government of 12. The tree of life gives a non-stop new crop every month.

2. Some people are fruitfull when they are saved but litle by little they go from the running waters to a confort zone that may become a swamp. Suddenly they start to be attacked by the enemy and istead of fruitfulness they manifest the work of Leviathan (the Crocodile).

3. If you have pride in you life let me tell you that it is a consequence of running away from the main stream of the river. In Ezekiel the angel lead the prophet to the right place of the river wish is the main stream! You became a swamp and it’s time to deal with the situation!

4. Some people are unfruitfull and some rest on the fruits of the past but let me tell you that if your tree is not producing the Lord will cut it and plant a new tree in your old spot!
Ester 4:14
14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?
