Dream About Pure And Corrupt Water (Revelation)
Greetings
The water dream in the latter part of this message is a very powerful metaphor and emphasizes how enormously difficult it is to discern the truth in the corrupt world in which we live.
Warm regards and blessings

"I TOO LEFT the PROPHETIC MOVEMENT"
Dear Andrew,
This correspondence is a long time in coming. While we have never met, I would like to thank you for sharing your correspondence last fall regarding the prophetic movement. At the time I was a co- leader (locally) and received the correspondence as a forward from the international prophetic minister with whom I co-led. As I read through it, (it did not only include your initial communication but it also included various e-mails and comments from a couple of 'prophetic ministers' mentioned in both your original e-mail as well as your latter naming names), I felt that I had no choice but to come forward, as much of what you shared of your concerns with the prophetic movement I, too, was carrying (note: I was not at the Kansas City Conference). In fact I had shared only the day prior a couple of the items. As well, I had been given a dream about the prophetic which I had shared. Needless to say, it was necessary to come forward with what was heavy on my spirit regarding the prophetic movement (very similarly to you), as well as to lay down my position, which the Lord had been telling me to do for over a year anyway. Without your coming forward as you did it is unlikely that I would have come forward as I did with what I was carrying.
I have received a number of insights both prior to and since that time... In particular the "Dream - Pure & Impure Water" - [which] I had two nights prior to receiving the correspondence on leaving the prophetic movement.
"Dream - PURE & IMPURE WATER"
On Wednesday, November 3, 2004 I had the following dream:
A young child approached me with a small, transparent cup that looked somewhat worn and used. The cup had a small amount of water in it with a tiny ice chip. The child asked me if I wanted some of it. I looked at the cup and thought that it appeared to have been used before, so I had some hesitancy about drinking from something that someone else had possibly drank from; I also thought it was kind of a funny little container but felt that it was important to this child to take a sip from the cup. You could tell, just by looking at the cup itself, that not many would be willing to drink from it. I responded, "Sure, I'll drink from your cup". When I did it was the sweetest water I have ever tasted. Unbelievable! I can still taste it in my mouth.
The next thing that happens is I am walking with my daughter and see the streets are flooded with defiled water. I don't even know how or what we were walking on but somehow we were able to walk along and just look at the water around us without getting wet or being touched by it. The water was flooding the streets and it was filled with sewage and dogs that were drowning in it and yet they were seemingly unaware they were dying in it - they were not attempting, or struggling, to get out. My attention was drawn by a splashing sound and I looked further down the street and saw a houseboat which appeared to have been ripped off it's moorings in the flood; the ramp was floating out extended. I heard more splashing coming from near the front of the houseboat, then a man popped his head out of the water. He was very upset and was spitting sewage out of his mouth, swearing and angry that it was in the water. His son ran from the back of the houseboat and asked the dad why he had jumped into the water cause it was so dirty - it was apparent the dad had just wanted to go for a swim and didn't recognize the state of the water prior to jumping in. The streets were being flooded with this filthy water and no one seemed aware of it. There was a false sense of peace and of calm. Even the flood waters were not 'raging' - they looked peaceful but they were everywhere.
I kept walking and found myself, with my daughter, on a street overlooking a valley with houses beneath it - the street was surrounded by a white fence with a gate. The waters were rising, I knew they were going to come and flood the whole of the valley below. I saw a house which I thought I recognized as one we had stayed in temporarily when we were moving houses - I asked my daughter to go check it out and make sure that my husband was not still in it. She did - he was not there - I knew he was safe. I was told to go to the higher ground and there we would find clean water. Before I left that spot, I adjusted and turned two of the railings as though it was necessary to do this. It did not make any sense to me while I watched myself do this in the dream, after all it was not as if this adjustment would be able to ward off any flood waters.
When I arrived at the higher ground where I had been told I would find clean water I found a rackety old kind of country store - the type that would carry everything in it. When I saw it I was concerned that with the size of the store (it was small) there may not be any water left because the demand for it would be high in this crisis...
I picked up a small bottle considering I had little money and I realized that because there was no other clean water around it would be very expenseive. However, when I went to pay, I could hardly believe the cost, it was so low - an unbelievable price. Since the price was so low I put the little bottle back and found the biggest bottle I could find because we were going to need it with the water situation; I was even able to purchase a small food item (like an energy bar) for my daughter. Then out of nowhere the same child from the beginning of the dream, who had given me this wonderful water, walks by. I was so happy to see the child because I then realized this was where the water in the cup had come from. I was delighted in the dream, that the cost was little for this unbe- lievable sweet, yet pure water and could hardly believe that no oneseemed to be buying it. The water was being GIVEN away for next to nothing in the midst of a major water crisis where there was no PURE WATER available anywhere except in this one location.
Interpretation of Dream:
For many days I pondered this dream, following is the interpretation which I received.
The dream represents a lot of the revelation and teaching which is around us today. There is a very small portion of pure teaching and revelation available today - it is recognized by it's taste. The word says, "Taste and see that the Lord is good.". Very few are willing to try it - they are often turned off by the outside appearance of the container..
We are being flooded with unclean teaching and revelation, not bringing the clear, sweet truth of the Lord. There is so much of this uncleanness around that we are being flooded with it and people are unaware of what they are jumping into or swimming in until they find it in their own mouths and our homes are floating in it. The area with the valley and homes below with the white fences shows this can flood the whole of a valley, a whole land and a whole region; it can come in at any level. The water was already higher than the valley in places but it was about to spill over. The adjustment of the two railings represents: 1) A refocusing on the Lord 2) A turning to truth.
We need to get to the higher ground and the presence of the Lord to receive the purity of His revelation. Many find themselves at the right place and yet some become distracted with other things, representing the dry goods and merchandise. Others are content to consume a substitute liquid (representing the coffee). However those that seek the pure water will find that it leaves a sweet taste in our mouths - "your word O Lord is like honey to my mouth". It will not leave the bitter after taste that coffee does. You will have to be willing to give something up in order to have this water but the cost is little in comparison to the cost of the coffee. Coffee may give you a temporary boost but it is a bitter drink. In order to be more palatable, it generally has additives and it's affect does not last long. False revelation may also give you a temporary boost but it is a very bitter drink, mixed with truth to make it palatable and it's affect does not last for long either but it has addictive qualities that keep drawing you back for more.
The location of the pure water on the higher ground represents the mountain and the presence of the Lord. The fact that the building is small and non-descript represents a place of humility; it is not there for "show", therefore making it harder to find.
Encouragement:
Seek truth. Do not be tossed about by every wave of teaching. Do not judge by outward appearances or pretensions. Do not be willing to settle for trinkets and dryness rather seek purity and life. Do not be deceived by falsehoods that are masked in the truth. If you are given something that leaves a 'bad taste' in your mouth, spit it out! Don't go back for more. Rather, seek truth. It will be found in places of obscurity. Just as Jesus had nothing about him that would attract us to him you will find the truth and purity of God in the secret places with Him. Blessings of truth!
