Multiple Miracles of Our Water Supply

David Eells, Michael Hare, Brandy Arney

The Three of us put our heads together to report on these tremendous miracles we witnessed.

David said, In the end of November we had a call from the water company that our water usage had drastically increased over 2 months. At that time we went to where our meter was located with the help of our neighbor, who knew where the meter was on the other side of his property. Then we looked for the leak by digging a few holes to try and find the water pipe. The meter is located .38 miles from our house.

After looking for the leak for approximately an hour or so. David suggested that we just believe God to repair the leak as we did 10 years before, when God repaired a terrible leak on this line of 10,000 gal of water per month. The realtor could not find the leak and then asked us to fix it. David told the realtor that this is not our property, we are just renters.

His reply was, “If you can’t find it, then you probably need to find another place to rent”. At that time the owner was paying the water bill. The water line went through woods and overgrown field and seemed impossible to find since all water sinks in the rocky ground here. It doesnt leak to the surface as in most places. all the water that runs down this side of the mountain has made a very deep and wide gully from our house down to the road at the base of the mountain where it dead ends. All of that water goes into the grounds along the way. So you can see that finding a leak, even a large one, can be impossible without special equipment.

So we decided that since we were supposed to be here by God’s direction we commanded the leak to cease in Jesus name!  David then told the realtor, that leased the house for the owner, that God repaired the leak. He said that he had never heard of God doing anything like that! David replied, “Well, you have now, so watch the bill and you will see.” From that day till now, we have had a normal water bill.

 

From 12/14/22 to 12/16/22 We Saw These Miracles:

Four, sometimes five, people are witnesses to these miracles.

Our combined recollection: "TASS Water company performed a supply line flush at our end of the supply line. When this happened our neighbor called us to tell us to flush our faucets. As we went to do this we discovered we had NO water at all. The breaker in the garage for the multi stage water pump, at the bottom of the mountain, was tripped.

We then went down and pulled the concrete cover off the water pump concrete vault and found water flooding and overflowing the vault. The motor and pump were underwater which shorted the motor and tripped the breaker. Then we called the water company to turn off the water at the meter.

We then repaired the leak from the supply line to the pump at the vault. Then by phone we had the water company worker turn it back on, which he did, but all of a sudden. When he did, the air in the pipes, which he said was 80psi, blew the one inch water supply pvc pipe line apart at the coupling on the top of the pump. The water was only about 25-30psi behind the air but air compresses and water doesnt and air is harder to hold in pvc lines. (Brandy said, " We three were standing over the pump when the pipe blew.") It was like a shotgun going off.

We repaired that pipe and told the water company worker to turn it back on.. but slowly. But, no water came to the pump. The worker told us, at that time, that water was flowing full pipe from the meter but we had no water at the pump end at all. We waited quite some time but no water or air at all came."

Brandy said;  "As I waited at the pump, David and Michael went up the house to open the faucets and to turn the pump breaker on in order to listen for any air or water movement in the pipes or faucets. When they switched on the breaker for the pump, the pump started whirring. I listened for any sounds of water coming through the pump and heard nothing. I waited for approximately 1minute and the pump started squealing loudly and I said to Michael over the phone, "Turn it off”.

Brandy said; I was on the phone with the water company employee who was approximately 200 yards away across the field of the neighbor's property where the meter is. After I told him that we had no water coming into the pump from the supply side. The water worker then said, "Oh no! that means there is a pipe break between here and there underground." My heart kinda sank at that point. I heard the enemy say, "You have broken the line completely and burned up the pump.”

We three had been out there in the dark awhile, getting rained on. We had already had a tough time getting it all back together anyway and now this! It was cold and after hearing this and seeing in the natural what had happened, I went home somewhat discouraged.

Back to Michael: "So we knew that the water line had blown apart completely since no water or even air was coming out at the pump. The leak was somewhere between the meter and the pump about three feet underground.  The line was partially in our woods at the bottom of the mountain and approximately 200 yds or so across an overgrown field of briars and saplings on the neighbor’s property.

The water company worker suggested we call a man that could find the leak for us with a listening device he had, which would cost between $400 and $800. Then he left to go home. But we knew that it would cost much more than that because of the length of the pipe involved and where it was located in impassable territory.

The next morning David and I went down and repaired the pipe on the discharge side of the pump line, which could have cracked when the blowout occurred."

David said, "Barry had given us a water valve wrench to turn the water on and off at the meter. We commanded the leak between the meter and the pump to be repaired, in Jesus name and praise the Lord for this miracle. Then Michael went down to turn on the water to the pump at the meter and then walked back up to the pump and water started coming into the pump which was an impossibility naturally. Father had answered our prayer and praise, Halleileuia! Then Michael went to the house to turn pump breaker on."

Michael said, "When the pump started, David said by phone, “Shut it off. The motor is smoking. It is turning very slow”. This was as if it had lost a phase of its 230 volts. (David supervised an electric motor shop at Exxon and he said, When a motor shorts or burns the windings, it never gets better in the natural. You have to rewind the windings to renew the motor again. Also, motors don't run long after being under water unless you take them apart and dry them out. The water creates a short in the windings that burns them up and smokes. You can always tell when a winding is burnt by the smell.  But we were acting on our faith. (Both David and Michael have professional experience with electric motors.)

By Faith, we let it cool down and after it cooled down, we prayed and praised the Lord and tried it again and it smoked worse than before and the breaker broke, all of which is natural! David told me by faith, “Let’s put the concrete lid on the pump vault [as though it were all fixed], and go to the house to turn it on!” (This was with a blown motor and damaged pump. There was no natural chance for this to run.) So, we drove up to the house, and as we went, we commanded the pump motor to be rewound and repaired and the seals to hold in the motor and pump, and the pump wear rings and bushings to be repaired in the pump because of the squealing! And we praised God for the answer!  Then when we got to the house, we reset the breaker to turn the pump on!

At that time of course there still was no water at the house. David said, “I’m going to take a shower.” I went outside and shut the outside faucets off, which we had opened to bleed the air out of the line but there was nothing coming out, and came back inside. David stuck his head out of his bedroom door and said, “Michael, Please reset the breaker one more time”.

So I reset the breaker and went back inside. Then I heard David shout from his bathroom that he had water. I asked David if we should turn the water heater back on that had been off for 2 days, so the water was cold. David said, “Yes, of course!” David reported that as he turned on the shower the water was immediately hot. This was another miracle after the water heater had been off for 2 days and it was very cold! Then, the next morning, we were tested again! The water went off and there was no water coming to the house again."

David said, "We both rebuked satan and commanded the water to come back on in Jesus name and praised the Lord for it! Then it came on. Then just before the meeting it went off and we both rebuked satan and commanded it back on in Jesus name and it came on. And it is working wonderfully now. Praise our awesome God!

Not knowing that the Lord had fixed the water situation, Brandy went up to our house and neither Michael nor I were home at the time. Brandy went around the back side of the house and as he passed by the water spigot, he reached down to turn it on and the water came out as strong as ever!  

During this whole ordeal Michael and I praised the Lord for fixing our water supply and He was our faithful God!!!” I had witnessed to the neighbor, who was a Baptist pastor about the first miracle of the Lord fixing 10,000 gal a month leak. Then he asked Brandy if we fixed the leak and Brandy said no the Lord did.  Then he asked Michael separately the same thing and Michael told him the story.  He didnt say a word.

 

Testimony of God’s Miraculous Provision

Dirk Oelofsen - 12/16/22 (David’s notes in red)

Thank you for Friday evenings meeting. It was a real blessing and faith building; hearing the testimonies. (This Included the water supply miracles.)  God is Awesome! I also have one I would like to share;

Our house is fitted with a gas stove and we had two 20lb gas bottles which is very helpful with all the many power outages that we currently have here in South Africa. Normally a 20lb bottle will last between 1 to 3 months.

For some time, here in town, there have been a lot of theft happening of garden equipment and gas bottles etc. During that time the one gas bottle that was connected outside our home was taken from our yard while we were away for a few days.

When we returned we noticed that the bottle was missing. We heard from other people that they had experienced the same issue of things going missing. So, we came against the spirit of theft and also vandalism. The theft issue did eventually stop, Praise the Lord!

When I connected up the last gas bottle, I laid hands on it, blessed it, and commanded that it would just last longer, since it was the only one we had left. A few months had passed and I picked the bottle up one day to feel if there was any gas left inside and it was and as light as a feather. (Meaning it was naturally empty)

Paula then asked me if we should have it re-filled and I said, “No. It is not necessary. We prayed and asked Father that this bottle would just last, so it will!”.

We then continued on using it as normal.

Well, it has been 12 months now since and we haven't changed it yet. It is still going strong with almost everyday use! Glory to the Lord! Thank You Father for your provision!!! (We witnessed the same thing with a bottle here that ran our refrigerator years ago.)

 

Walking the Tight Rope Between Faith and Fear

Samuel Fire - 10/4/22 (David’s notes in red)

The Lord reminded me of the time on the UBM outreach, when someone shared a testimony about a man that walked on a tight rope across Niagara Falls with a wheelbarrow of bricks.

When remembering it, I had a vision of the man at Niagara Falls that walked on the tight rope and there was a crowd of people watching him and he asked the crowd, “Who wants to get into the wheel barrow as I walk across on the tight rope?”.

I was in the crowd, watching, and I stood forward and said, “I will”, feeling God wanted to test my faith. But, I was suddenly struck with thoughts and feelings of fear, doubt, and unbelief;  thoughts of what could go wrong and that I shouldn’t do it, etc. There was a big battle in my mind with fear and I had to constantly cast down the enemy and all his lies. I kept trying to abide in Fathers peace and rest, thinking on the Word, the whole time. This was a real trial!

As they were getting prepared for me and the man to cross, he asked me, “Are you ready?” Yes, I responded. But I was not as calm and sure as I wanted to be. Then the journey began of the man pushing me in a wheelbarrow across the tight rope. I was getting attacked with such intense fear, anxiety, doubt and constantly battling those thoughts and feelings.

I was trying to only focus my mind on Jesus and His Word and presence. Knowing that Jesus is in me and all around me and in everything, so there is nothing to fear. I was telling myself, "Father is closer to me than my own breath and He is in control of everything and I only have Him to trust. My whole life and situation depends on Him. Fear just makes everything worse and it is a lie that Jesus has already defeated." Praise God!  

As we were going along the tight rope the man, with me in the wheelbarrow, fell off the rope and started falling down. I thought, "God is in control and His will be done." I felt His presence and peace, knowing that He was in control...

I then saw myself back on the tight rope in the wheel barrow, realizing that us falling was just my imagination, THANK GOD!

So I felt this whole vision was about the fact that it doesn't matter what we see or feel. We can be calm through every life situation! It reminded me of the Lord Jesus when He was sleeping in a boat during a storm!  

(What is Keeping you from Your Miracle? Usually the spoken words of faith and the other actions that prove it. Mar 11:23-24 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  Jas 2:26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

 

Praise the Lord, Saints!

David Eells

The Angels showed us how to praise God from the heart the way He wants. They told us to never go back to our dead ways or the enemies would again take advantage of us. Who are we to have an opinion contrary to the Word?  Rom 3:4  God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.  What the angels told us was just what the Word commands.

Heb 13:15 Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.

Psa 103:1-4 A Psalm of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Psa 109:30 I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

Psa 111:1 Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

Psa 34:1 A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Psa 71:8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day.

Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength (Praise in the NT), Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Psa 147:12-14 Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion. 13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. 14 He maketh peace in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

Psa 149:1-9 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp. 4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. 5 Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples; 8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.

Psa 150:1-6 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise God in his sanctuary: Praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts: Praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with trumpet sound: Praise him with psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with timbrel and dance: Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. 5 Praise him with loud cymbals: Praise him with high sounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that hath breath praise Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah.

When I first went to a Spirit filled Church I was restrained in worship and praise because of a fear of man but after I broke through it was wonderful freedom. Pro 29:25  The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.

 

Stop Sin at the Thought

David Eells

Pro 23:7  For as he thinketh within himself, so is he:

Mat 12:34  Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. In the OT mostly actions are judged but in NT thoughts are judged for they are who you are and what causes all evil actions.

Luk 6:45  The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Mat 12:37  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Because your words prove what is in your heart or thoughts.

Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.

Mat 15:18  But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man. 19  For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings. Notice thoughts are evil and words are more evil for they hurt others and put evil thoughts in others. This is why God says, “the slanderer will I destroy”.

Jas 1:19  Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20  for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21  Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. The word changes the thoughts and transforms the man before becoming an avalanche of bad emotions and actions.

Rom 12:2  And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Faith tames the thoughts and the emotions and actions into those who are given over to Christ. 2Co 3:18  But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.

Rom 2:13  for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified: 14  (for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves; 15  in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them); 16 in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ. Secrets of mens hearts are revealed in their words and actions.

Mat 5:19-28 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.  (In the OT mostly actions are judged but in NT thoughts are judged for they are who you are and what causes all evil actions.)  

21Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 but I say unto you, that every one who is angry (A thought) with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. 23 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Clear your conscience before coming to God.

25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing. 27 Ye have heard that it was said, (in the law) Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Sins come in threes:  Evil thoughts lead to evil emotions, which lead to evil actions. Evil thoughts stir up emotions and bring demon possession. Then many evil actions come. Stop it at the thought level. Emotions are harder to stop. Outbirsts or railing prove sin in the heart.

2Co 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; 6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full. I.e. Dont get caught judging when you are guilty for Jesus said you would be judged..

Gen 6:5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 1Sa 16:7 But Jehovah said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for Jehovah seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart.

Jas 3:1-16 Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment. 2 For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. 3 Now if we put the horses bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also. 4 Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.

5 So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: 8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: 10 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11 Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter? (No if its bitter its all bitter.) 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither can salt water yield sweet. 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.

Psa 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Pro 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

Obviously there are those who know how to speak acceptably to others but their heart and thoughts are evil. They will still be judged for their thoughts and lies.

Jeremiah 9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity. They say they love you while their hide the dagger for your back.

2Tim 3:13 But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

Pro 26:24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips; But he layeth up deceit within him:

Rom 16:17-19 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent. 19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore over you: but I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple unto that which is evil.

Lam 2:14 Thy prophets have seen for thee false and foolish visions; And they have not uncovered thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity, But have seen for thee false oracles and causes of banishment.
