Hi John,........and Doves.
      I wanted to share a vision, I had a few years ago, but stayed silent with it,.......so in a sense to see if it was real and just watch if it was happening, and coming true ?    And I wonder, and  ask all who come to Dove sight, ........if some see the same thing happening, and are going thru the same thing ??
     I guess I could call it a vision,.....or maybe a "state of mind",.....but here goes.
 
I was driving down Route 95, and my thoughts were with the Lord, and like so many times, I just talk to HIM, and alot of times (as so many of you people know),....you hear HIS voice deep within your heart.
   Well,.....I was in one of those states, where my heart was so heavy, in what so many "modern churches" are doing, and that is to change the "Word of God", into something it doesn't say, or mean.  And as this thought got so heavy, it wouldn't stop growing in pain, within me.    So as I was driving, I started to get & felt thirsty,.........so I felt like getting a drink in one of those places along the highways, and pulled into the one that was just ahead.   THe thought of all this was still very heavy,..and I kept asking myself......"Lord,.....what are so-called Christians, doing to your Holy Word" ??  Over and over, this thought was going around my head, and wouldn't stop.    As I went into the place,...it was set up row after row of things to buy,.....but what I noticed so much was the back row, against the wall,.....which was nothing but refridge containers, after containers, of things to drink.........and that is when it hit me like a ton of bricks !!!
                 (think of the woman at the well, and what Jesus said)
   I looked at the first container, (a couple of rows) and it had "water bottles",.........and then the next 30 plus feet,.....there was every color, every taste, every name, every size,.....and everything else you could think of !!...........row after row of something to drink !!!!    ANd I just kepted looking at it all, ........for some time, as something, I believe !!....the Lord was showing me, now!  And as I kept looking at all these containers, I became so sad, and heartbroken.
   And this is when I believe I heard HIS voice again saying,......"This is what they are doing to my WORD !!!......taking my "Pure Water" (WORD),.......and changing it into anything they want,......and even "selling it", (bottled water)..........for gain !!
      God help us !!!......
                      .........in the area I live,...
                         ..............it gets worst every day that passes,........
                                                  ...................and I just hunger more to go home.
     Today, as I stayed silent,......all I prayed for was a little hill I could climb and find the "Burning Bush" Moses found,.........and just sit there and talk to our Lord.  I know I don't need a burning bush to talk to HIM,.......but it would be so wonderful to hear HIS voice from "ears",.......as well as the "heart".......and one day SOON,........we will !!!    I guess I just want to be as close to HIM as possible, (here on earth).....and just be alittle child once again,.......in the arms of our Father.
           Come my Lord !!!
     I know without a doubt, that all who are called by Your Name, .....want to come home, so much.
                                                                                  God Bless all !!...I pray it's tonight !!
