Mood:  energetic

I am presently of the opinion that God has revealed that a great storm is coming upon this land.  Those who know me regard that as no surprise.  But God, since Pentecost/Shavuot on June 6/7, has repeatedly urged me to "get moving" and "get everything back up, current and operating.

I was on the road, preparing to go on preaching tour with another prophet in May when God shut me down.  He said gently, in my spirit, to shut everything down, and when I prayed about where to go, for I was already out on the road, the Lord gave me a vision of walking; praying at my mother's home in Southern Illinois.  So, I went there for a week.  Little did I know that she would be called to heaven on May 17.

Sometimes, God can call us to do strange things, like shut all ministry down, and we simply cannot understand what God is doing or why He would ask us to do such an odd thing.  It just didn't seem to make sense..  I am thankful that long ago, I learned to just obey and then figure it all out later.  Thankfully, I was able to spend a week with mom before she went to heaven.

But now we are in July, and God very clearly wants this prophet running ahead of the Ahab driven chariots, careening down Mount Carmel in advance of a coming rainstorm.  God said "run now, lest the storm stop you".  So again, I have obeyed.  The radio programs, as of yesterday afternoon, are all up and running again.  The website is all updated, and I can hear the sound of the abundance of rain.  A storm is coming.  I believe it is almost here.  I hope you are out there running ahead of it too.
