Got picture of large and deep well it was falling in around the sides and Only slight trickle of water coming up from The ground as I looked i saw digging in the well and people emptying the well of soil and rubbish as I looked deeper at the well I saw more water trickling thru the soil and the deeper people dug the more water came. And looking into the well I saw the words “RE DIGGING THE WELLS OF REVIVAL” so as your ministry grows and grows the lord is asking you to “Re Dig the Wells of Revival” in Matlock and Derbyshire and the surrounding areas and to Dig Deep and Deeper in Him and as you dig deeper the wells will refill and great Revival will come but First you need to DIG

DEKE RIVERS STORY LUKE 6
““But I say to you who hear [Me and pay attention to My words]: Love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, [make it a practice to] do good to those who hate you,
Whoever strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other one also [simply ignore insignificant insults or losses and do not bother to retaliate–maintain your dignity]. Whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either. Give to everyone who asks of you. Whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. Treat others the same way you want them to treat you. If you [only] love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend [money] to those from whom you expect to receive [it back], what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners expecting to receive back the same amount. But love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; for your reward will be great (rich, abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High; because He Himself is kind and gracious and good to the ungrateful and the wicked.
“ Do not judge [others self-righteously], and you will not be judged; do not condemn [others when you are guilty and unrepentant], and you will not be condemned [for your hypocrisy]; pardon [others when they truly repent and change], and you will be pardoned [when you truly repent and change]. Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure–pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.””
