OUR FATHER WHO SENT US A DIVINE HELPER 

Ezekiel chapter 3 verse 14 says this;

The Spirit then lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the Lord on me.

In the first chapter of the book of  Ezekiel, the prophet Ezekiel recorded one of the most profound visions ever witnessed.

In his vision, Ezekiel saw four winged beings each having four faces and four wings and each being beside a wheel within a wheel and lightning flashed between the four beings in a brilliant display of the  glory of God.

In chapter two, Ezekiel recorded the message that was given to him by the Son of God which foretold of the children of Israel going into captivity in a foreign land because of their rebellion against the Lord.

In this chapter, when Ezekiel saw the glory of God, he fell face down onto the ground. Spirit of God entered Ezekiel and helped him stand up while the Son of God spoke to him. 

In chapter three, the vision came to a close and Ezekiel was lifted up by the Spirit of God and taken back to the banks of the Kebar River and put back among the Israelites there. He was in anguish for seven days as the things that he saw in his vision distressed his mind.

After some days, Ezekiel saw the Lord's presence again and again he fell face down and the Spirit of God propped him up again so that he could listen to the Lord.

We see the Spirit of God, on multiple occasions,  upholding the Lord's servant when he had fallen and we see Spirit of God taking Ezekiel safely home after a terrifying encounter with spiritual beings.

The Spirit of God is the Divine Helper sent from God to help and support the Lord's servants.

Give thanks for the ministry of the wonderful counselor, the Spirit of God.

Amen.
