Water of Death and Life

Many ministers actually do the work of the devil and the old man by taking the sword away from the saints that they need to conquer the old man. Because of this, the old, carnal man conquers the spiritual man who becomes “twice dead and plucked up by the roots”, as Jude said. One must be born again in order to be “twice dead.”

Bob says: In a dream, I was looking for a close friend who was in trouble. I called out to her with a sense of life-threatening urgency. I walked into an enclosed building and found a pool inside. As I approached the pool, I saw nothing but bodies floating face down. All who were in the pool were dead; no one in the building was alive. (The pool of apostate Christianity.)

I proceeded to the next door, which connected to a second building. Again, inside were corpses in the shallow end of the pool with living people in the deep end. (Again, some dead but some learning to live.)

A class of instruction was being conducted on “how to commit suicide” by what appeared to be religious leaders. I saw my friend taking instructions from the pastors, and she was preparing to end her life, like those who were already face down in the shallow end. (Shallow water of the Word Christianity.) I was angered, and I walked straight up to her, taking her face into my hand, gazing into her eyes, and saying, “Don't you want to follow Jesus?” I then said, “You are confused. This is not the way of Jesus”. Then I woke up.

Each pool represents the experience of the Word represented by water, as in Eph.5:26. Such is the life of believers in that particular sect or pool of Christianity. To spiritually die in the shallow waters is to not experience enough of the Word to bring death to the old man and life to the new man. The pastors who do not teach anything, but a popular, flesh-pleasing word are killing God's people at the hands of the devil and their own flesh. Come out from among them and find the Words of Life, or you will die with them.

(Joh.6:66)(notice the number 666) Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. (Many do this.) (67) Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away? (68) Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

As with Bob's dream, I had one many years ago where the preachers were killing Christians, who were face down in the water of the Word.

Carnal Ministers Killing with the Word

David Eells

In a night vision, I found myself in front of a large church. I walked through the front door, and standing in the foyer was an “old man” in a suit. I avoided this old man as if he were a rattlesnake and went into the sanctuary, so-called. I saw a large double sink, full of water. In the water were babies; they were face down and most were dead. I quickly went to the sink, picked up a baby, and held him up in the air. He spoke to me, saying, “Thank God, I knew He was going to send someone”.

Interpretation: I was made to know that there are many carnal ministers like the old man in Eph.4:22; Col.3:9,10, who are trying to wash up the people of God, the babies in the sink. They are using the letter of the Word or water in Eph.5:26, and are instead killing them. (2Co.3:6) who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. The letter of the Law that is taught by the Pharisees of today gets our eyes on our own earthly ability or inability, face down to the earth. Many are they that sit under the condemnation of the Law, which is a powerless false gospel, only to give up in their failure to please God and go back into the world or die on a church pew. We cannot pick ourselves up by our bootstraps or be saved by our own self-will. This is an understanding that is from the earth, face down. Seeking this is to be “ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” that sets free.

Jesus purposely spoke in parables so that only those who have eyes to see and ears to hear the heavenly things would understand as in Mat.13:10-14. These seek a knowledge that is born from above or face up on Jesus. (Mat.16:17) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. As always, those whose understanding is “face up” will be fought by those whose understanding is “face down”. The good news of the promises is the power of God given freely to save the one who believes as Rom.1:16 says. These promises get our eyes on God's ability and provision or face up. These promises give faith as in Rom.10:17. This causes us to receive grace as in Eph.2:8, in order to have the power to live the joyful Christian life and cease from our own works.

Rivers of Living Waters

V. W.- 10/11/2016 (David's notes in red)

I dreamed I was walking around on David and Michael's property, in front of their house (which is on top of Sonshine Mountain). As I did this, I said, “God keeps giving water here”. I knew it was under the ground and sensed it was a hot spring. (The mountain represents Zion or the New Jerusalem, which is spring-fed. The Gihon Spring was the only source of water for the city of Jerusalem. Jesus, the Man-child of David, said His words were Spirit and life. He said in (Joh.7:38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water. Zion is where the true Word of the Lord comes from. (Isa.2:3) And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.) I was marveling about this and was amazed. Then I woke up.

I asked the Lord why “He keeps giving water there” and received by faith at random (Eze.34:8) As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep (This is the reason God is bringing the Living Waters, because the shepherds feed not the sheep, and the water they do give them does not give them life. They preach the ‘dead letter of the Word’, which brings death.); (9) therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah: (10) Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them. (He will deliver His people from these shallow water plunderers. (Isa.56:11) Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter. God said He will take the talent away from the one who hid it in the earth, meaning used it for the flesh, and give it to him who has 10.)

(11) For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. (12) As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. (He will seek out the lost sheep to bring them home.)

(13) And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains (or Heavenly places) of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country. (14) I will feed them with good pasture; and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. Like Jesus, Who is our example, He will feed the sheep on the best pasture, and they will be excited.

(15) I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep (Jesus is coming and the Pharisees won't believe it this time either), and I will cause them to lie down (rest from their own works), saith the Lord Jehovah. (16) I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away (Exo.2:16) Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters (the seven churches): and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. (17) And the shepherds came and drove them away; (from the water of life) but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And so it will be.)

and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat (Ie: with flesh) and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice. (The Lord will dispense justice to the fleshly leaders who exercise fleshly authority over His flock as the Pharisees did.) (17) And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats. The rams are Bighorn Sheep, who are leaders. These are differentiated here from the leaders who are he-goats. These are called Judas goats who lead the sheep to slaughter.

(18) Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? (The evil walk of the shepherds gives permission to the sheep because of misplaced respect to disobey the Word. The sheep follow in their steps and not the steps of Jesus. These shepherds won't preach against their own sin, so the Word becomes perverted.) (19) And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

(20) Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. (Between those full of flesh and those who are not.) (21) Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad (Competitive, jealous, egotistical, self-willed shepherds run off the sheep.); (22) therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. (Again, this is the reason God is bringing the Living Waters to those sheep who hunger and thirst after righteousness.)

(23) And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. (24) And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Jehovah, have spoken it. (The Davids are coming, through whom God will feed His people.) (25) And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land (He is already doing this on a political and religious basis. When you preach the truth the evil beasts flee.); and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness (tribulation), and sleep in the woods. (They will rest in faith and not in religious works.)

(26) And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing. (The outpouring of the Spirit.) (27) And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land (the Promised Land or land of the promises will yield fruit); and they shall know that I (meaning the real Jesus) am Jehovah, when I have broken the bars of their yoke (released them from bondage), and have delivered them out of the hand of those that made bondmen of them. (Delivered them from the false shepherds.)

(28) And they shall no more be a prey to the nations (the beasts of the field or world empires), neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. (Perfect love will cast out all fear.) (29) And I will raise up unto them a plantation for renown (a perfect farm and harvest), and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more. (They will no more starve for the Word or be shamed because of apostasy.) (30) And they shall know that I, Jehovah, their God am with them (Emanuel), and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah. (31) And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.

I think it is interesting that I asked the Father why He keeps giving water there and He said, “Because My sheep have become a prey”, and He answered, “Because My shepherds have not searched for (and healed and fed) My sheep”.

I also thought of this scripture: (Isa.41:18) I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

The Shaking, Water & Revival

Bill Steenland - 04/03/2015 (David's notes in red)

(This dream seems to be a preparation for the Tribulation wilderness. I am expecting much more from the Lord on this dream.) Bill said: I had this dream one of the first nights I stayed in TN. It was very, very intense. I dreamed I was greeting my brother at a barn (A fruit gathering). (I.e.-The place and time of the Harvest.)

I was standing in front of the barn doors as my brother walked to me after getting out of a white car. He was wearing a white dress shirt and a pair of brown dress pants. (White shirt represents faith in imputed righteousness. Brown pants represent a measure of walking in the manifestation.) I gave him a hug, and we walked into the barn to meet David. We walked into a large room with an empty table. (Harvest not gathered yet.) The table was huge -- the kind you have a feast at, but it was empty. (Representing the preparation for the coming Feast of Harvest [Exodus 23:16] / Feast of Weeks or Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out. In type, the Lord will come as the latter rain on the morning of the third day, where we are now -- Hosea 6:1-3.)

(Mat.24:45) Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? (The season of the Feast of Harvest or Pentecost is coming.) (46) Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. (47) Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. (Jesus in the Man-child will be set over the Kingdom of God on Earth.) (Jer.3:17) At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it (This gathering from all nations happened on the Feast of Harvest or Pentecost and the Holy Spirit was poured out on them.), to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

David was at one end of the table. I don't remember anything that was said. When we left, he was no longer at the end of the table but at the other end, right next to us. I said to my brother, Jimmy, “Okay. Let's go meet Michael Hare!” Strangely, I don't think I had met Michael yet in the dream. (Perhaps this is a sign he will be quite different in a good way when Jimmy comes.) We were instantly at Michael Hare's house. He was praying over his wife's feet (walk) as she was lying down on a couch (meaning praying for her to walk correctly with the Lord). He was leaning over her, as if to cover her feet with his chest. (Michael's righteousness being a covering, as he believes for his physical and spiritual wife -- those who receive of his seed of the Word.) (1Co.7:14) For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

Then the dream changed and I was on a huge boat. (The Ark of Christ. And our ark-shaped refuge.) (1Pe.3:18) Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; (19) in which also he (Jesus in the Man-child through death to self) went and preached unto the spirits in prison, (20) that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing (to lift off in the flood of tribulation and day of the Lord.), wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: (8 is the number of Jesus and circumcision of the flesh) (21) which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; (22) who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

I saw a brother appearing and reappearing. He was speaking to me and trying to encourage me. He was saying, “Don't you worry, brother. You're going to be fine. Just trust in God and keep believing”. Stuff like that. Then, after appearing and reappearing a couple of times, he was gone. I looked to my right and the water was very fierce (fierce trials -- fulfilled) and there were huge swells. I could tell the water had come suddenly from somewhere, and everything was going in one direction. (Note: Although this is a spiritual exhortation, all the water in this dream could be physical as well because of all the dams and water around here; after the shaking comes, we could be living in a very different-looking place.) (Above the flood as it was with Noah.)

(This is true: We received this revelation years ago that a dam at the head of the dragon (a dragon-shaped road) would spew forth waters, but the fault lines would open up at the same time and swallow the water to save the ark-shaped refuge: (Rev.12:14) And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (15) And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. (16) And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. This could symbolize the TN Valley quakes, which come after the New Madrid quakes.)

There was a huge swell that came to the boat about 15-25 feet high. It wasn't a wave; it was a swell. I thought for sure it would totally just knock the boat over like a toy in a pool. But the water was just totally subdued, and the boat went right over the water. (Casting down strongholds and every high thing. (2Co.10:3) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh (4) (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), (5) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.... Satan, the Dragon, and his demons send their words to wash away what God has done in His people and to try to get them to be failures in their trials by receiving his words. (Rev.12:15) And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. This is something we deal with in a trial, when we are holding on “to be delivered,” like in the previous texts of Revelation 12. Every time we get delivered, we give birth to more and more of Jesus.

I thought to myself, Thank God Almighty! Praise God! Oh, My God! I was sitting on a metal bench this whole time, clutching it with my hands (holding fast to the rest) as hard as I could. (Resting from our own works through faith in God's promises. (Heb.4:1) Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. (3) For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. ... (9) There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God. (10) For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.)

Then, I was totally amazed as the boat lifted off the water and into the air. It then turned totally upside down! (Ark/refuge people enter the Heavenly realm; i.e., their actions are ruled by the Word and not the world. (Eph.1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.... Upside down is a term that can mean “complete opposite.” To us, this means opposite to the ways of the world or the earthly.) I was holding onto the seat (meaning his rest), still in an upright position. But now I had two red cords that were holding me in. (Isa.33:20) Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

They were both in the crease of my elbows as I had my hands to my chest. I can't fully remember how this worked out because I remember holding onto the bench and also the red cords holding me as I held my hands to my chest while holding on. As the boat was totally upside down, I said to myself, with my eyes closed, Oh, my God. I hope this boat is high enough off the water; otherwise, my face could be hit with one of those little swells that are moving all over. I was bracing for that contingency in my mind and holding on stronger and stronger, still upside down. (The temptation is to not rest but to take things into our own hands or works.) The boat then turned right-side up and back down on the water. (The trial is over as things return to normal.)

I opened my eyes and I was no longer out on the water. (Amen. I saw the light) I was in a store in the middle of a shopping mall (all needs supplied). (Php.4:19) And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. I saw a couple of people walking around at a fast pace. They looked like they just got their whole world rocked in a matter of 30 seconds. Note that this whole ordeal out on the boat was very real and very short. The people were so rattled and confused. I was still on the boat, sitting there in total amazement. I knew in the dream that the “shaking” had just taken place (along with the waters it will send).

(Heb.12:25) See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape who turn away from him that warneth from heaven: (26) whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. (27) And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. (28) Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: (29) for our God is a consuming fire.

I have been sitting on this dream for almost two years now. I knew in my heart that my brother would be in TN, just like in this dream; it could be a timing issue. I have been firmly believing for my brother for years now and the Lord has been so faithful to answer. (As He will for our loved ones) I just went through a trial concerning him recently. He was asking for $800 to pay his rent because he doesn't have much work. The truth is, he has had a drug problem and has been doing drugs since he was 12 years old. It was so bad that, before I moved to my dad's house after I got born again that I separated from him. We fought so much, and he would lie to my face about being on drugs. I knew he was still on them when he asked me for the money, so I wouldn't give it to him. He was going to be homeless and it was totally breaking my heart. We have been through so much together, and it was hurting me that I couldn't help him. But I knew the Lord didn't want me to do it. (We all have loved ones who seek their peace in the ways of the world, but as we hold to our faith, they will learn from their tribulations.)

About three days before he was going to be evicted (March 28, 2015), he ended up getting a job and a place to stay, all in one. There is a young couple who have a dance shoe business and needed him to do inventory work. Well, they are sending him to Pigeon Forge on May 21, which is not far from me, for four days! (The answer to prayer. The last day is Pentecost.) When he told me, I couldn't believe it. I counted down till then, and it's 49 days. Well, I'm not a date-setter; this dream was a serious thing for me, and it still is. It's crunch time.

(On this day that I am putting my notes in this dream is the first day of the counting of the Omer. This day is the second full day of Unleavened Bread and Passover, from whence we count 49 days to the Feast of Harvest or Pentecost, the 50th day. This is when, historically, the Holy Spirit revival of the Joel 2 promise of restoration from all things concerning the curse started as the former rain, a type of the latter rain. Saints, endure your trials of faith to see deliverance from the curse at the latter rain outpouring. We have learned from previous dreams that the earthquakes mentioned above would bring the revival. Now we see from this dream that the shaking will bring the restoration and revival. This was when Mordecai, a type of the first-fruits, stood before the natural king of kings and received Haman's ring, and Haman, the leadership of the unrepentant faction to destroy the Man-child/Bride/Jews, officially loses his life, hanged like Judas. The 49 days are said to be days of repentance leading to Pentecost. After the days of Passover and Unleavened Bread, the Man-child Moses led the people to their baptism in the sea and cloud, which was the death of their enemies who chased them, and their baptism in the Holy Spirit before going into the wilderness tribulation. This could be a sign for our year of restoration. I asked the Lord if this dream was a sign of something to come and got “yes” twice.)
