“The Drought is Over!” These are the words I heard in my spirit on November 28th, 2010. In the midst of an extraordinary and challenging season the Holy Spirit has given us clarity. As I am writing this letter to you, my spirit is leaping within me over God’s awesome Word to our church and His Body. Who cares what the prophets of the land are saying? I want to know what God Almighty, Creator of the heavens and earth is saying. I am reminded daily by the Lord of the following verse:
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.”
He (God Almighty) will have the last word! I am sure in your heart you are saying Amen! Even though we might not see the complete manifestation of this Word yet, I believe there are some steps of faith we can take to move us in the right direction. Here are three of them:
Step 1- Repent! Get rid of the doubt, fear, frustration and anger you have felt about the economy, your family, your marriage, and your life in general. Repentance will always lead to refreshing.
Acts 3:[19] “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord”
Step 2- Rejoice! This is faith in action. Praise is the manifestation of your faith! By the way, groaning, whining and complaining are too. According to James 3, our tongues are like a rudder on a ship or a harness on a horse. Is your mouth leading you in the direction you want to go?
Habakkuk 3:[17] Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls— [18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Step 3- Release! This is the second message I received from the Lord in December. He said for me to tell His people to, “Release the Increase!” Give, sow, and bless at a new level. Increase has already been determined by God for you. Read Psalm 115:14-15. Another verse that I believe goes right along with this Word is found in Proverbs. It tells us as we release, it will bring increase.
Proverbs 11:24 (NCV) Some people give much but get back even more. Others don’t give what they should and end up poor.
I encourage you today, to take the first step. Miracles are about to be released! Glory!
“The Drought is Over!”
