I was in a vast expanse with the Lord. As I lifted up the name of one sister to the Lord, I saw myself as if I had physically picked her up into His presence, as though to say to Him, look Papa! See how awesome she is!? His response, in total agreement, was, "I know. She is. I made her." As I set her back down, another came to mind. Then another, then many others, one by one. What started out as an empty expanse became full of faces, each one remaining as they were added to the others, just like drops of rain collecting on a windshield. As the rain falls, another drop joins the collection until they get too heavy to remain in one place. They begin to flow, first small & slowly, but gaining in size and momentum as more drops are added to the collective. Each face represented a drop of water, all converging into one place. Then we started moving, and we became as a river, flowing and following the many contours of the land. Each person of the river was speaking, either their own name, or their story, but it was all praise to the Lord. Then I was standing on the bank of this now mighty rushing river, watching as one person after another would jump in, adding their sound, their life, their source to the river. Each one like a drop, and I was following each drop's journey downstream until I lost sight of the individual and the story would start over from a different point, with the addition of another drop. Each drop representing a person in the larger story, each one's praise speaking of the Lord, all unique, yet as one voice. Until we became the sound of many rushing waters in the earth, flowing into the earth to water & to feed it, for life and restoration, for healing to the nations. What started as being thankful for one person, honoring her before the Lord, became the source of a mighty river of life from the Kingdom to the Earth.
As I zoomed in on any individual drop (person) I could trace backward to the smaller drops that made them up, each one going to their family, and each family being part of a larger family, each family being a part of the greater Body of Christ, each one being as it were a tributary to the larger river, each person contributing to their local assembly, each local assembly contributing to its greater assembly (or denomination), and each part contributing, becoming part of the great river. Until we were all one river, made of many drops. One Body, made of many members. All flowing with one Source of life, His life, from the Kingdom to the Earth.
