“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’" ~ Matthew 6:9-13, NASB
In 1985, I was traveling along a narrow country road in the outskirts of Lane County, Oregon, USA and the Holy Spirit clearly asked me to stop and pray over a small brook trickling under the bridge on the roadway. It was towards the end of the summer season before the fall rains and there was truly very, little water left in the stream. So, I pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and parked, then walked down the slightly sloping bank, removed my sandals, and stepped barefoot into the cold brook. Not knowing exactly what to pray, I recited the LORD's Prayer from Matthew 6 and returned to my journey. It was an experience for pondering.
The LORD GOD's purposes were not clear to me, therefore upon returning home I looked up the words "brook, brooks, stream, streams, river, rivers, water" in my cross-reference study Bible and became more aware of ABBA ADONAI’s deep value of HIS creation, earth, rivers, brooks, wells, waterways, canals, waterfalls, streams, oceans...and from that time forward I began looking at the earth as my heavenly FATHER's footstool. It was a spiritual decision at the time, not intentionally ecological in purpose. However, as the years have progressed, the ecology of the earth has become a worldwide agenda as in 2019 there are 5.25 trillion pieces of trash in the ocean and 8 million tons are added yearly. This does not really seem like a way to honor our Creator or be responsible stewards of this planet. I have never met anyone that would like 5.25 trillion pieces of trash on their footstool. Have you?
Thus says the LORD, “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool."~ Isaiah 66:1, NASB
Before the Holy Spirit inspired me to begin making Holy Anointing Oils in 1999, I used olive oil, kosher salt, and sometimes wine to pour over the land, rivers, streams, waterfalls, canals, wells, oceans, brooks, mountains, caves, caverns and valleys most often praying for YHVH, ELOHIM to bless the land, forgive the inhabitants of the earth for their negligence and asking HIM to increase awareness of the sacredness of HIS Creation ~ Ezekiel 47:12; Revelation 21, 22. As I began traveling in ministry, praying for an ocean, river, stream, brook, levy, mountain, waterfalls, lake, beach, high place, valley, harbor...became a common part of the journey.
Somewhere along the journey, I learned that those involved in witchcraft, idol worship, coven gatherings, sacrifice of animals and humans, abortion clinics, and/or criminal activities commonly discard the remains into the rivers, which seems truly unhealthy and unholy at every level...physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, communally, and/or ecologically. This is of course in addition to the toxic waste, chemical spills, nuclear waste, and other dishonoring actions towards the waterways of the world. The only holy spiritual antidote that I know for their harmful and irresponsible decisions is the Anointing of YESHUA, Our Messiah which brings purity, cleansing, restoration, redemption, renewal, recompense, revival and healing to the land and waterways.
My hope is to encourage others to take greater care of the earth and to graciously thank those who have traveled with me as I stopped along the way to Honor God and pour out HIS Healing Oil for HIS earth...HIS footstool, the place HE has generously given us to live.

And Job again took up his discourse and said, “Oh that I were as in months gone by, As in the days when God watched over me; When His lamp shone over my head, and by His light I walked through darkness; As I was in the prime of my days, when the friendship of God was over my tent; when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me; when my steps were bathed in butter, and the rock poured out for me STREAMS OF OIL!" ~ Job 29:1-6, NASB
