The Lock

Lock paintingI felt God was saying that we as a church were like a barge at the bottom of a large lock and not many people wanted to climb down to us because it was slimy, smelly and a long way down but as the water slowly filled the lock, like the church has slowly filled up with the Holy Spirit, and we are now almost level with the water on the other side, were pushing hard on the lock doors, some water is coming in but the doors wont open just yet.

People are slowly coming in, once the doors open the people will come and we will flow out, like water going down the over flow. We will be level with the bank and people will jump on board.
