In 2010, my dad w/the help of Michael & Pamela Mathews wrote a short book on his life. I was amazed at how applicable my dad's prophetic action had on the word I read from GH 15 yesterday. My dad was a forerunner, as many have been throughout the years, to bless & pray over water!
I wonder how much dad realized his gift from the Holy Spirit, being raised a traditional Catholic, but this short story entails how the LORD can use a simple man to proclaim His truths. I hope you take time to read it & are blessed by this, as I was. I just reread it after many years & still am in tears about it. How the LORD showed His love to my dad after a grievous loss. At the end, he mentioned Jim-he was my brother killed at age 15 by a drunk driver. My dad passed into heaven in April 2014. "a peace-filled man waiting for heaven."

The Water cycle – (hydrologic cycle)
Before I describe something I did that was at first done in a joking manner and may sound
ridiculous to you at first, I want to describe what happens with a molecule of water as
described by NASA. The source of the information can be found at
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/Water/water_2.php
Because Water is the only substance on earth that has three forms, its life cycle is
unique and transparent as it takes on three different forms (Gas, Solid, and Liquid). The
water cycle for one single water molecule over a 100-year period includes spending 98
years in the ocean, 20 months as ice, about 2 weeks in lakes and rivers, and less than a
week in the atmosphere. (Keep this in mind as you read my story below). The hydrologic
cycle describes the pilgrimage of water… as water molecules make their way from the
earth's surface to the atmosphere, and back again. This gigantic system, powered by
energy from the sun, is a continuous exchange of moisture between the oceans, the
atmosphere, and the land. As shown in the figure below you can see that one water
molecule can cycle between many forms and travel around the earth, but eventually
spend most of its time in the ocean.
So, if one water molecule enters a river or a lake, that water molecule will eventually
reach the ocean(s). Knowing this hydro cycle information after I committed my crazy
water event, now makes me believe that I may not have been crazy after all. Time will
only tell!
My Own Miracle with Holy, Holy, Holy Water
Late spring in 1998 was the saddest days of my life. That was the time when my beautiful Rose
was diagnosed with liver cancer and the chance of survival was very slim. The prediction turned
out to be accurate, as she died June 20, 1998. That was also the time when I and my grieving
family grabbed at proverbial straws just to keep her from leaving us bodily.
My loving daughter-in-law, Michaela, sent a bottle of holy water from the Benedictine
Monastery from Germany that was said to have healing powers. By the time I received this
bottle, Rose was in very bad shape. Her internal organs began shutting down and it was difficult
to entice her to take even a little teaspoon of the holy water. The holy water did not help my
beautiful Rose to live longer, but I am convinced it supplied her with a good death. She passed
away on a warm light breezy afternoon with all her children and me surrounding her death bed.
When I mentioned to my sister-in-law, Florence, of my intention of putting her cremated
remains on the Island on our property, she explained “you can’t do that because that island is
not blessed.” I had a solution for that, so I canoed Deacon Tom to the Island and he blessed the
Island with the left-over holy water Michaela sent over from Germany. I still had about one-half
of the bottle of water left and didn’t know how to use it productively. I then remembered when
I was in second grade at St. Michaels Catholic School when Sister Mary Magdalene OSF gave us
religious instructions between Easter and Pentecost. One of the things she mentioned was if
you run low on the Easter Holy Water, you could add well water to the little you have left and
the Easter Water will turn the well water into Holy Water, even if you only had a drop left. A
brilliant idea entered my head. “If a little Holy Water can turn well water into Holy Water, why
couldn’t the opposite also be true?” So I poured the left over Holy Water into Twin Hills Lake on
my property. I concluded that now I had 35 acres of Holy Water in our lake. I wanted to
continue the process of this great feat, so I filled an ice cream bucket of this Twin Hill Holy
Water and carried it about one-half mile to Elton Creek. There I gingerly poured it into Elton
Creek. Elton Creek flows into the Evergreen River and that in turn flows into the Wolf River,
which flows into Lake Winnebago. The outlet of Lake Winnebago goes north to Green Bay,
which is part of Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes. By the time the bucket of Holy Water
reached the St. Mary’s Canal it was pretty well deluded, but still powerful enough so when they
emptied the locks of Twin Hill Holy Water, some of it entered Lake Superior (by wind or
transpiration) and thereby making Holy Water of all the water in Lake Superior. I thought by the
time the Holy water reaches Lake Superior a great miracle would have occurred, but I was only
starting my quest of turning all the waters on the earth into Benedictine healing water. The split
between Lake Huron and Lake Superior caused some of the Holy Water to flow south through
the Detroit River into Lake Erie -- from Lake Erie, to Lake Ontario, over Niagara Falls which
aerates the Holy Water, thereby making it almost as potent as the original Benedictine water. It
then flows up the St. Lawrence River and into the Atlantic Ocean. Since all the oceans are
connected, I almost reached my quest of turning the entire world’s water into Holy Water.
If I missed any part of my plan, I have an absolute certain outcome. By now, at least 99% of the
earth’s waters are now Holy, and evaporation will not take the holiness out of the water.
Evaporation will change the liquid into a vapor and when that vapor condenses and turns back
into liquid it will retain the holiness and spread it all over the earth in the form of precipitation,
thereby making all the earth’s water into Holy Water.
When Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding feast of Cana, it was a miracle; but I, turning
all waters of the earth into Holy Water was leveraging the miracles already established by God
to create this effect. The miracles God created, like river flows, warm and cold water, ocean
currents, evaporation and condensation, rain, and snow are part of the process that
accomplished my feat. Since humans cannot taste, see or smell the intensity of Holiness in the
water, I challenge anybody in this world to prove me wrong. Sister Mary Magdalene OSF
certainly was on the right track, even though my sister-in-law Florence made the following
remark … “I believe that, but within reason.” My question then became, “Where does reason
start or end?” The answer may not be about reason, as much as it is about faith. All reason in
Noah’s day said that it would never rain; yet on the horizon was a 40-day period of non-stop
rain. My faith … if pleasing to God, will overcome logic or reason.
I am honored and humbled to think that the hydro cycle of water proved that the molecules of
that Holy Water will last for many years. My crazy act of believing (faith) may be the kind of
faith that God was looking for. Possibly God desired to have the entire world experience a taste
of the same ‘Rose Christina’ I had exposure to during my life. Surely the world can use more
‘Roses’ and less thorns! My co-writer stated that I may not be as crazy as I first thought.
Possibly the water did not flow exactly as I described, but it reached the oceans in its own form
and method(s). My co-writer stated that I was probably no crazier than Noah was when he
warned people for approximately 100 years that the earth would be flooded with water, when
there had never been any rain on the earth since its existence. Possibly, God was looking for a
crazy man (like me) who was grabbing at proverbial straws to believe that the Holy water
poured out on a piece of land that had been previously dedicated to His saint Jim, would reach
the outermost parts of the world. Could it be God was ordering the steps of a righteous man?
Could it be that the land that raised Gentle Ben had already been prepared for a greater
purpose? Little did I know back then what my co-writer told me in August 2010; and that is that
Jesus’ voice sounds like the movement of many waters. This exact verse is found in Revelation
1:15. “His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing
waters.” No wonder Rose’s middle name Christina, means follower of Christ.
Whether this will all prove to be true or only partly true; it is all part of my personal Journey of
a Life Time. I trust Rose and Jim are in heaven saying something like… only believe!
Be blessed-the water is already HOLY! to the LORD. He's got this!
Sincerely,
CSStevens
