On May 8, 2000, I was in a vision of the Lord. This is the time now and the hour for this vision to come to pass I felt in the spirit., the Lord saying to me. That it is for now. It was a work the Lord was doing in the churches now. The Lord said to me that day, I am doing a great shaking of the churches which have tried to hinder the movement of God up to this point. I am going to go into those dry dead places and take out those who want to swim in the river. Those who long to be free to swim in the Holy Spirit waters. There is a great shaking of these places right now, even as I write this all over the world.
He said to me, that He was going to take from those dead and dry places, those who have been confined within them. That had been crying out to him for freedom in the spirit, to move freely in the spirit. He is drawing you out of those places to freedom, now. To come and swim in the freedom of the Holy Spirit waters outside of those places which have held you for so long. This is the vision of the fish swimming outside of the tanks I had on that day.
The Vision
Today, when I closed my eyes, I was at the entrance to my living room. I looked and I couldn't believe my eyes at what I saw. All around me were fish, so many fish swimming around my living room. They were silvery beautiful fish, and they were just swimming around in the air of my living room, outside the confines of the tank.
I said, Lord! How can this be? As I looked around at the fish swimming, they were all smiling at me. When they smiled at me, I felt their sheer joy and delight of being free to swim about the room without having to be confined to the fish tank. My heart was overflowing with their joy and delight.
They were smiling fish, so funny to see a smiling fish swimming around the room. They were all flowing in the same direction I also noticed. Not against each other, but together in the same direction. I said, Lord, look at all these fish! Why are they outside the fish tank. they are out of the tank swimming in the air of my living room, and look how happy they are. I said to the Lord, what does this mean, Lord. He said to me, the fish are the people that I am bringing out of the churches this day, beginning now. They are full of joy and such utter delight because they are free now to swim in the Holy Spirit waters. They are no longer confined to the tanks which are the churches which they had been in. Those churches have not allowed them to flow in the waters of the Holy Spirit, in my spirit.. My living room was a room filled to the very top with living waters, and the fish were swimming in the living room all around me, so happy, and delighted to be free of the tanks.
That is what the Lord is about to do with many in the church who have cried out to be set free from the confines which had bound them for so long. He is bringing them out of the confines of those churches, which have not allowed them to flow in the Holy Spirit waters, in the gifts which they have been given. He is bringing them out into the river of God as it begins to flow through the earth. He is setting so many fish free to flow in the gifts and to flow in the spirit of the waters of his river. They are a refreshing waters and living waters of his river, and they will run into the waters and swim and squeal with delight for being set free.
These fish swimming outside of the tank in what appears to be the air are full of joy because they are no longer confined to the dead churches, the fish tanks which have confined them for so long. The fish are full of joy. And Lord said to me, Child, the fish are full of joy because they are no longer confined to the tank where lived for so long. They are free now to swim free and move about in the refreshing living waters. For so long they have lived in stagnant waters, that were artificially pumped with oxygen by the structure of man. They were sick from the air and the water which they had to swim in. The churches or tanks were artificial environments of what man thinks how my church should be, the Lord said. They pump in fake air and water and the fish begin to die in the stagnant waters. They do not allow my spirit to run free in these places. They want to control the environment as in a fish tank. Those who want to move with me are confined and not allowed to move in my spirit.
I am letting them free now, and drawing them out of the dead churches, so they can swim freely in my waters and breathe the waters of the Holy Spirit. They are free to swim now in the waters of the Holy Spirit. They are no longer confined to the tanks that held them for so long. I am doing this new thing now, and they will be coming out to enjoy the freedom of the waters of the river now.
Then I suddenly realized that I was in the waters of the Holy Spirit walking in the room, and it was if I was just breathing air. It was effortless to breathe under this water I was in. It was like I was breathing the air . I was floating around with the fishes enjoying their joy and new found freedom in the waters. Submerged in the waters of the Holy Spirit, and feeling the fishes delight in me, fish giggling and laughing and enjoying the freedom that they now had. Then the Lord said, now am I calling them out of the those dead places.. I am calling to them to come and swim in the Holy Spirit waters and be free to swim in the Holy Spirit Waters.
