Spill Water
By Mark Farquharson
Note: The first time I start the spilling of water is on the Day of Atonement in 2012, at Waikumete Cemetery. Later I spill water at other places. The fact that I start on the Day of Atonement seems to indicate something about this action.
Note there was no spilling of the water in religious places in 2013, but I did start spilling the water again in 2014.
In 2015 I spilled water at my first and so far only grave. Please note it is by the leading of the spirit that I spill the water. Do not hold it against me for not spilling or spilling water at a certain grave. This has no effect on the overall salvation of the person or persons. In no way does this indicate a person's salvation, for all will have salvation one day.
Water: The water could represent the Holy Spirit, which is represented as water. However I was given an indication that it could in at least one case represent weed killer. There are many weeds that have come up, since the resurrection of Christ.
2012
26 September, 10 Tishrei.
Noticed this is the tenth of the seventh Hebrew month, that is the Day of Atonement. 1) Waikumete Cemetery. Pasted the eleven trees and sat on seat on same path as trees, spilled water on the ground by the seat. This is the start of spilling the water at certain locations. Walked to Chapel 1 and entered walking up to the front and sat down. Noticed the button for the first time to lower the casket, later notice this button in Chapel 2. Went outside of Chapel 1, and spilled water outside. Walked to the fountain of four Pegasus (winged horses) and circled around it. Walked to Chapel 2 and went inside up to the front. Usually Chapel 2 is closed, the fact that I went over there and it was open is significant in of itself. Noticed the button for lowering the casket. I prayed asking about Vatican City, Jerusalem and Christchurch. Then I prayed for the people, inhabitants of England, inhabitants of London, the Great City.” Went outside of Chapel 2, and spilled water outside. Touched flagpole. Sat down on seat outside. After leaving the seat, I came across a tombstone that had on it, “Servants of God at Rest,” along with drawings of roses, two doves, an open bible, a rainbow and a mountain. Walking on I took note of the names Astley and Elizabeth. I walked to the Chapel of Faith and around the chapel. I thought “Knock and the Door Will Open.” Then I spilled the water outside the chapel. Sat down on nearby seat.
