Revelation 21:10-12
NASB
‘And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, of crystal-clear jasper.
It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angles; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.’
Bucket bath sounds similar to Bucket list , isn't it?
(These pictures are from open source. )
Some of our team members got running water in their bucket list !
Rural communities just dip themselves in a stream, pond or river for bathing. Washing clothes in the same place is a common pattern. We may be sharing the same stream where household animals drink water and get their weekly bath too 😀
Saddest part of the story is that few communities use the same water for cooking as well.
(Please note, that it is Not true for all the communities, where we serve).

Are you sceptical, or unsure, about the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit being real?
We have a friend. She reminded me she is 4,500 miles away, and she was woken up by God to pray for my family, and my heart in particular.
I messaged her asking for prayer as I went to hospital today - knowing she'd be fast asleep, but also knowing I needed to tell her.
The time for her - when my message arrived - was 2.46am.......when she'd already been praying for 2 hours for my heart and my family, with no idea at that point that Jo was taking me to hospital because of my heart.
There comes a point when the idea of coincidence simply doesn't provide enough of an answer!

PS Thank you @MaryMamuzich for listening to those prompts to pray!
Revelation 21:6-9
NASB
‘Then He said to me,
“It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirst from the spring of the water of life without cost.”
“He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son.”
“But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying,
“Come here, I will show you the bride,
the wife of the Lamb.”’
This is relevant to me as we approach our first Mass Deliverance event. One of the renunciations listed in Greg Locke's handbook for deliverance is the Enneagram. I have never gotten into the Enneagram but it has been all around me and I have casually engaged with it just because everyone around me was talking about it. I haven't know why it would be considered "occultic" but this young woman presents some good information in a very humble attitude. There are going to be some people who balk at renouncing the Enneagram but I am finding that resistance and offense is often a sign that demon is getting exposed and uncomfortable.
I renounce the Enneagram! I don't need it. Jesus tells me who I am and that is more than enough for me!
Revelation 21:1-5
NASB
‘Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,
and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
And He who sits on the throne said,
“Behold, I am making all things new.”
And He said,
“Write, for these words are faithful and true.”
