Thy Kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
— "The Water Walker Prophesy" Christa Elisha

The “Water Walker” Prophesy” The culture of Two Girls and a Bible Company Christa Elisha.

… I heard the Lord say “Here come the Water Walkers!” In a vision I saw a large expanse of water. Out of nowhere it seemed, a company of children came from one side walking on the surface of the waves! I could see their silhouettes against the sunny horizon out on the sea. They looked like a rag tag bunch of children ranging between toddlers and teenagers. They weren’t in a hurry. They weren’t organized. But they all were in one accord, walking in the same direction together.

When one fell behind the others would wait and offer their assistance because they all understood that just like the Israelites in their travels, none would ‘arrive’ unless they all arrived together. They needed each other because they loved each other. I could even see at times that when one of the little ones stumbled and began to sink in the water, one of the older ones would come and pick them up and carry them on their hip a little ways until they were confident enough to walk on the water again. The camaraderie reminded me of when I was a child walking down to the creek to play with my little brothers and neighborhood friends tagging along. It was quite sweet.

As I prayed into the meaning of this vision I felt the Holy Spirit say that he is calling together and raising up companies of people who trust in Him with child like faith. He will call these units out into the deep places where fear and religious mindsets will not permit others to go. They will walk with ease on situations and circumstances that would cause others to drown. There will be no competition among them. The competitive spirit among the saints is detestable to the Lord so only His children who understand unity and brotherly love will be able to advance in this next season. Instead of competition there will be camaraderie. They will work together and build each other up in their faith. Encouraging each other every step of the way. They will walk in the anointing of the spirit of Elijah turning the hearts of the children back to the father and the hearts of the fathers back to the children.

There will be room for each one, no one left behind or left out and cliques within these companies will be nonexistent. Guilt, shame and sin sickness will be swiftly dealt with. When a brother or sister stumbles the rest will stop and gather around the one who fell. The more mature members will pick up the one who fell and will care for them one on one and show them how to keep from stumbling again the same way a mother would care for a toddler learning to walk. They will all believe what God says about each of them and that is the identity they call out of each other. All dearly beloved Children of God! There will be no limit to how far they can go together. Nothing will be impossible for them. Their journey together in close bonds of brotherly love will be a sign and a wonder to the world. The way they move will cause others who do not know Jesus or the unconditional love of a family who’s Father is the Lord to desire to join them and know the Father as well. The spirit of adoption will knit their hearts together and the Father’s love will draw them out into the ends of the earth as fishers of men. Their hearts knit together in love will form a huge net that will work to pull in a great harvest of souls! But it will be natural for them. No striving. No racing. Just walking, talking and loving together. God will add to their numbers daily and many miracles will be done among them.

Lord I say YES to this and Father I ask that those who’s hearts witness with this but have yet to find their Tribe of Water Walkers would find the ones you have called them to walk this life with! Lord that they would find a group of your children that will fuel their faith instead of their fears! That they would have a place in a family that believes in them and where they can believe in others to see your kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in heaven! In Jesus name, Amen!

We set about our work vigorously and our arms are strong for the task. We are called Blessed at the City gates.
— Proverbs 31
