River of Life...

September 22,2007


Vision:

I saw a vast barren desert and true wasteland without any form of life. Then I saw a mighty river coming down with tremendous strength bursting into this desert. Although I didn’t see it, I knew it must have rained heavily because the river was flowing strong and unstoppable and started forming many tributaries and from them even more started forming and the river started infiltrating the whole desert. It was bringing much life where before there was only barrenness. The land next to the riverbeds became green with vegetation and this spread out as far as the eye could see all around this mighty river. The barren land became fresh green pastures and prospered.

Interpretation: Upon further reflection on this manifold grace issued forth from above, the angel of the Lord ministered to me greater understanding of how God is going to bring restoration to the body of Christ and remove the barrenness from the hearts of those who loves Him and hungers and thirsts after His true righteousness. Many believers today are suffering from the “wilderness effect” concerning their walk of faith. They experience barrenness in their souls and the lack of the true life-giving substance of the Lord Jesus Christ… feeling “dehydrated, delirious and disillusioned” concerning their walk of faith and thirsting after the true living waters that flows forth from the Throne room of God to those who truly walk in agreement with God according to the terms and conditions of the Second Covenant. Jesus Christ is the true fountain of life and only when we are joined to Him in Covenant and walk in agreement with His Spiritual Government, Truth and Holy Spirit will we truly be able to walk in the perfect will of God and daily drink from these living waters which increase and prospers the soul of man with the precious life-giving substance of Jesus Christ which increase us in His likeness that we may be fruitful.

Through Apostolic Governance ~ doctrine that proceeds forth from the Headship of Jesus Christ through God ordained living apostle’s only ~ God is going to bring healing to the nations and restore the faith of His people back to the unity and purity of the ONE faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that they may again walk in the fullness of Jesus Christ. At the same time He is going to restore the souls of those who loves him that they too may reflect the precious virtues of the Lord Jesus Christ through the resurrection life and power that comes only by the Holy Spirit which carries the precious redeeming and healing qualities of Jesus Christ deep within the soul of man. I was blessed richly by this vision. My faith was again built up and strengthened, my hope in Christ renewed and I was encouraged to run this race of salvation with steadfastness till the end, that I may receive my eternal reward as fellow heir of Jesus Christ and be crowned with His glory.

The latter rain is the grace of God which He is pouring out upon all mankind in these last days to prepare the ground for the good seed of Truth to fall and prosper and heal the land and draw all people into Covenant with Him, that all may come to understand, and again walk in the pure and perfect ways of the Holy Spirit…. understanding the terms and conditions He has set for our faith within the boundaries of the Second Covenant. This is the environment where the Holy Spirit daily richly nourishes, sustains and comforts the souls of those who follow the Law of the Spirit of Grace and Truth. It is by remaining within these restrictions of the second covenant and our daily labour of faith with the tools of Christ’s Priesthood which God authorized and sanctified for our contact with Him, that we too, as His offspring, become streams of living waters and mighty trees of righteousness, so that our branches can be fruitful and offer food and rest to the weary and those who are yet without Jesus Christ. God is now offering Clemency to the nations through His Government, Truth and Holy Spirit that all mankind can again walk in the true wisdom, knowledge and understanding of God and see things from His perspective… no longer seeing through a darkened perspective because of ignorance to His covenant and perishing without Jesus Christ.

May we all keep our focus on the Lord and not on the circumstances of our life, but reflect on the precious work of the Holy Spirit within our souls and our higher calling that we may all be vessels of honour and be useful unto God, building His true temple being labourers in this mighty end-time work of God restoring His true church… preparing, purifying and perfecting the bride of Christ for when Jesus returns to fetch his beloved bride, that He may find us all pure and blameless… without spot or wrinkle and arrayed in the most divine and beautiful colours of His priesthood… a bride adorned for her bridegroom… May we keep in remembrance always that we are the offspring of Jesus Christ, vessels containing His living waters from which those who are thirsty for Him may come and drink and taste and see that the Lord surely is good. Let’s keep our vessels full of faith at all times that they may be overflowing and fresh fountains of life…

The Spirit brought to remembrance two scriptures in Isaiah in confirmation of the vision I received from the Lord and also very edifying scriptures in Revelations 22. May you all be blessed and may the Lord’s favour abound towards you all. Go forth in strength and in power.

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
