Introduction
First, I’d like to thank Give Him 15 readers and listeners and share a praise report. Over 3,000 of YOU (our GH15 family) have signed up and committed to over 93,715 letters through the Write Now America campaign. That’s incredible! What an army you have become. I thank you and commend you from the bottom of my heart. You can still participate by visiting their website WriteNowAmerica.org.
Today’s post is another word that, in many ways, can be attributed to your faithfulness. The title is:
A Deluge Is Coming
In recent weeks, the Lord has been emphasizing His “river of living water” (John 7:37–38; Revelation 22:1–2; Ezekiel 47). My brother, Tim, has said a good bit about it, even doing a conference on the theme. Gene Bailey of Flashpoint is having a gathering called River at the Ranch this month, and I’ve released a few posts on the subject from myself and others, including yesterday’s by Larry Sparks. This past Tuesday, I was reminded of an interesting dream I received about “the river” some time ago. This fascinating dream was given to my friend, Kenny Price. Here is his account:
“You, Ken Malone, and Greg Hood were holding a meeting. Before it started, Ken and Greg stated that it was time for you to ‘feed the river.’ So the three of you, joined by Ceci, walked down to the river. You and Ceci walked a short distance away from them to sit together by the river. You were just relaxing, and Ceci rested her head on your shoulder, enjoying the river. Your appearance made it seem as though it was the best day ever.
“After a while, Ken and Greg approached you and repeated that it was time to ‘feed the river.’ They brought you buckets to do so. I couldn’t see what was in them. You stepped into the water and began walking through the river; every once in a while you dropped a bucket into the water, then kept walking. You dropped what seemed to be an endless supply of buckets into the river.
“Along your walk, you would pass areas where camps had been set up, and people from them were on the banks fishing. When you walked by dropping the buckets, they would shout, ‘Thanks, Dutch, for feeding the river. We are going to catch some big ones.’
“When you released the last of the buckets, you stepped out of the water and joined Ceci, Ken, and Greg. As you were walking back, you said, “Now we can start the meeting.” End of dream.
My Thoughts
It struck me as significant that in the dream, God chose not to show us what was in the buckets, what I was “feeding the river.” When Holy Spirit gives us only portions of a revelation or insight, while withholding others, He is doing so for a reason. He wants us to seek Him for further insight, knowing that revelation received in this way often impacts us more powerfully than had He just stated it. Jeremiah said, “Thy words were found, and I DID EAT THEM; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts,” (Jeremiah 15:16). Jeremiah “ate” and “digested” the word of the Lord. As he did, the words went from his mind into his innermost being. This is the process through which revelation increases in our hearts.
I “ate and digested” this dream back when it was given to me. Then, on Tuesday of this week, when Kenny reminded me of it, I began doing so again, asking Holy Spirit for further insight. Here is what I believe He showed me.
First, it seems obvious, based on the words of the people fishing along the riverbank, that whatever was being placed in the river related to the great spiritual harvest on the horizon. They said, “Thanks for feeding the river. We are going to catch some big ones.”
Then, as I prayed and pondered further what “feeding the river” might relate to, I believe Holy Spirit reminded me of a word He released to my brother Tim recently (September 17, 2026). In the word, Tim used the phrase “atmospheric rivers,” a phrase meteorologists sometimes use to describe massive amounts of water in the atmosphere. These “rivers” carry so much rain that they can literally flood entire regions. Tim said the Lord told him a move of Holy Spirit is coming from heaven, a spiritual “atmospheric river,” that will be greater than any in history. Holy Spirit then prophesied through Tim:
“You will now advance into the most supernatural movement I have ever led. I am anointing afresh, blending and synergizing the purposes, plans, and gifts birthed in all My previous movements. They will intersect with Godhead plans now activating in the great reformation.
“They will merge and function with the new purposes, plans, and ministries for this supernatural Kingdom era. In the heavenly realm, atmospheric spiritual rivers have been forming. Rains from Heaven will now fall, causing torrential flows throughout the earth realm. It is the era when the river of God begins its flood stage.”
As I reread Tim’s words, I knew what the Lord meant by “ feeding the river.” When we declare God’s words into the spiritual realm, the spiritual “atmosphere,” His words function like seeds. In the parable of the sower (Matthew 13, Mark 4, Luke 8), and also in 1 Peter 1:23, God actually refers to His words as “seeds.” The Greek word used in these passages is also the word for spores and sperm.
The idea conveyed is obviously that of reproduction, the ability to reproduce and multiply. God is telling us His words create, bringing forth “after their kind,” just as Genesis states of natural seeds (Genesis 1:11-12). Seeds of the gospel reproduce salvation. Seeds of healing reproduce healing. Seeds of hope reproduce hope. And seeds of awakening reproduce awakening.
I have said many times and in many ways over the years – although, sadly, some people seem to have difficulty grasping it – that speaking God’s words releases God’s life and power! When explaining to Mary how she would conceive the Messiah, Holy Spirit literally said to her: “No word spoken by God is without power” (Luke 1:37). Nothing is as powerful as SPEAKING God’s words over our lives, situations, health, and locations. Nothing!
When we do, we are releasing God’s power to “seed and feed” our lives, cities, and nations with His life. As we persevere, we nurture these “seeds” into fullness.
As we have declared God’s words over our nation and the nations these past few years, we have been feeding the atmospheric river of the Spirit. This has been preparing the greatest harvest in history. Now, “we can start the meeting,” as the dream said at its conclusion. I believe this refers to evangelism meetings, harvesting the spiritual “fish.”
Just as I finished writing this post, I received a text from my friend, John Kilpatrick, asking to talk for a few minutes. John led the great Brownsville Revival from 1995 to 2000 in Pensacola, FL, joined by evangelist Steve Hill and worship leader Lindell Cooley. In this great 5-year outpouring of the Holy Spirit, 4.5 million people attended from around the world. John said they stopped counting the salvations after 2 years because so many people flooded the altars that it was simply impossible to get an accurate count. It is safe to say that hundreds of thousands came to Christ! Call me “super-spiritual,” but I am just prophetically motivated enough to believe John’s call was a sign to me that it is indeed time for this next great spiritual harvest to begin.
Pray with me:
Father, millions of believers have been seeding the atmosphere with Your words over the last several years. We know Your words are “spirit and life” (John 6:63), “alive and powerful” (Hebrews 4:12), and NEVER without power (Luke 1:37). You told us they have created a spiritual “atmospheric river” that will release great rains of revival throughout the Earth. We believe this and are preparing our hearts to receive it.
Our decree:
We “seed” and “feed the river” again today, declaring:
“America shall be saved! This has begun on campuses among young people, and will multiply greatly. Revival and reformation have begun and will not be stopped.”
“Revival is coming to Iran and the Middle East. The billion soul harvest is beginning.”
“Signs and wonders will increase dramatically, giving witness to the resurrection of Jesus, just as was stated in Acts 4:33. This will include creative, ‘extraordinary’ miracles and deliverances (Acts 19:11).”
“Nations will be born again in a day (Isaiah 66:7-9). Governments will be transformed.”
“The greatest outpouring of Holy Spirit in history has begun!”
