First, let me testify that the Lord still speaks to us in dreams and visions. This is biblical. If you are seeking God he will reveal himself to you. The Lord gave me a dream about the oil spill on the day of the event. In the dream he revealed that it was "Corporate" that was behind the spill. He was showing me in the dream that there is a monitoring of things going on in the earth and seas. The Lord was speaking to me about sharing his heart of sorrow and sadness over the oil spill. I have read other comments saying that this was a call to judgment on America from God. I can only share with you what I believe the Lord has revealed to me about the oil spill and how the holy spirit of God has led me to intercede in prayer for this disaster. A repentant heart change Gods heart.
To begin, I ask that you look at God through a different set of eyes. Put away your conception of him being a God that you can not confide in or one that sits on a throne far away and only wants to condemn and judge. I am not saying that he is not a God of justice and righteousness. I want you to see him as a “living” God (Father) with emotions just like yours; after all, we were created in his image and not the other way around. A few emotions that we have all probably felt are love, sadness, sorrow, loneliness, compassion, and happiness. Is it fair to say that man can be extremely passionate about things that are near and dear to his own heart? So, it is with God. He is a God of love, compassion, longsuffering, and sorrow as he weeps and longs for his children to seek his face and call upon his name. He is saddened when we turn our face from him and say not now Lord, later. He is filled with joy when we come to him in prayer and ask him to be our strength. So, we have established that he is a living God that has feelings.
God is the creator of ALL things. He creates! He loves! He is passionate about what he created and ALL is near and dear to him. The seas are only one of his majestic masterpieces on display in this world that we live in. It bursts forth with rushing proud waves, the clouds are a garment over the ocean, and the waters contain an array of his splendor and GLORY! The bible states, “Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."
We were called to fill and subdue the earth and were given dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth! Wow. The God of ALL creation trusted us, man, with his creation, that which he made and blessed. We have not been good stewards. This fact alone calls for repentance (there are other factors such as greed). So, for those of us that have a heart of compassion for our earth and a love for God and all that he has created, please join me in a corporate prayer of repentance and intercession.
