And Elijah saith to Ahab, ‘Go up, eat and drink, because of the sound of the noise of the shower.’ 1 Ki 18:41 (YLT)
Today during prayer and worship, as I was sitting at the piano singing "We Prepare the Way" a prophetic song came upon me. I began to play and could hear a roar rising within my spirit, then I began to sing I hear the thunder, the lion roaring.
Because I am inclined to write songs, I began to try to put it together for something greater, but I understood it was something for the moment. God was allowing me to hear the present approach of an outpouring. Rain is coming!!!!
Immediately, the scripture in the beginning of this blog came up in my spirit, so I looked it up and read form the beginning how God SPOKE to Elijah of the end of the rain and Elijah SPOKE the word of the Lord to Ahab. The rain STOPPED just as Elijah had SAID it would.
Then the Lord SPOKE to Elijah again of the return of the rain, and Elijah did something different. He didn't just speak, he moved into action to rid the land of the spiritual contamination. Once the prophets of Baal where dead Elijah SPOKE of the rain to Ahab.
I think we can take Elijah's example to heart. We should imitate his faith and action's. First, he heard God speak to him concerning the rain. Second, he got rid of the SOURCE of the rain stopping in the first place (the prophets of Baal were the voice of confusion and deception for Israel). Third, he DECLARED what he HEARD in the spirit. Fourth, he prayed until he received confirmation of the word of the Lord.
I will probably preach on this one day but for now, I believe what is important is that we are looking for the rain of Glory and Revival from heaven to come upon the earth, specifically ourlives. We must be willing to rid ourselves of ANYTHING that can potentially hinder the move of God in us. I heard the Lord call us into this fasting and prayer, and I know He is going to reveal Himself like never before. I have heard the sound of rain.... do you see the cloud????

God is definitely moving and begining to pour out His Spirit upon His people. I am ready Faithdome, I see the cloud!!!! Today at work the Spirit of God lead me to speak with a sales man "Jim Lucas" at my company and he began to pour out his heart while I listened earnestly. He is about +/- 55 years old and I knew from speaking to him in the past that he believed and was committed to Christ at one time (still believes but now he is not committed). So I simply asked him how his relationship with Christ currently was. He spoke to me (I spoke very little) from 5:30pm to 7:15pm about his past in a baptist church and why he left and so forth. He has not found a home church but would like one (he used to be a deacon and the church he went to became more political than spiritual so he left - long story short). I told him about Faithdome and he also knows Jamik, maybe we will see him there someday. :-)
I find it interesting, you can almost see the fields turning white right before your eyes.
To samantha... What?
