The day before I read the following, Jesus spoke to me the Words "OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND I WILL FILL IT"! So I was astonished to read that same line at the end of this message! TY LORD!
Garden Hose

9-16-'05 As I communed with Lord, I saw in vision a simple green garden hose running water out the end, and hanging down hundreds and hundreds of feet, from the sky ! As I looked up I saw that this hose originated out from thick white clouds, dropping down in a fluid slightly undulating way due to that water flow, with the bottom few feet of this hose and nozzle crooked toward my direction, just some few feet (10-12 ft. or so ?) in front of me. I watched that heaven sent water pouring out, understanding some of the obvious message The Lord was sharing with me, as I looked.
"....... wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, " you have heard from Me (Jesus); for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." ....... "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight." - Acts 1:4b,5 & v. 9
I was somewhat taken-aback at this simple and common seeming garden hose representation. However, for edification I want to share what I hear The Lord speaking to myself, which perhaps will speak to some of you readers also,
"For some of you it's time to get yourselves under the channel of flow for the first time, and some of you need to come for My refill; to get yourselves placed under the heavenly pouring out spout of My Spirit.
Is your spirit feeling dehydrated ? Or are you thirsty, dry, muddy even, and in need of My pure wash and anointing outflow ? Are the bones and joints of your balance creaking in their need of My fluid balm ? Have you been caught up in the cares of this world ? Be honest with yourself and thus with Me, and give answer.
".......I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen." - Is. 42:20b
I say, lower those world-care umbrella's that keep you separated and unsighted to the skies above: My heavenly vision. Take off your hats and scarves, those crowns of human understanding, which only hinder your forward moving at this time.
For at this point, beloved, I want you to see that you only need to move a few steps towards Me to partake. I am instructing you; Whatever it takes to get your spiritual feet unstuck and moving, do so. Step towards Me; put yourselves in place to receive, and move under My channel of righteous flow.
"And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy:..." - Acts 2:18
Look up. For in My love for you I would have you see and experience today The heavenly faucet that is open to you, even Me, My Spirit Who flows down to inundate you; washing, covering you, filling you, inside to outflow.
Come here to Me, look up, open your mouths wide and drink Me in, while My flow, My Spirit is freely pouring. No payment by you is required for I have paid for you whom are Mine. Yes, I have seen your hunger and thirst towards your God, my beloved This is My Joy, you are My joy.
Believe Me, believe in My Words, and come with quick feet, humble hearts expectant, childlike faith, panting to receive. I do and will answer and give. I do and will satisfy you with all satisfaction; Holy Spirit flowing upon you, fresh-filling you beyond your past or present experience.
Beloved, listen to the gush, see and do, while My refreshing is close in your hearing and view.
I say today, today, why do you hesitate? I love you. Come. Step lively now."
"As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God." - Ps. 42:1,2
"Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." - Jesus, Lk. 21:28
"But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." - Jesus, Jn. 4:14
"... Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it." -Ps. 81:10b
