I think that we are in the middle of a very interesting prophetic time.  Last week I was in Texas.  As I was preparing to speak on my first evening, I heard the Lord say that He was about to ride the rain clouds over the nations and that they would experience His glory in the earth and in the seas.

That evening as I was beginning to speak, a rain cloud burst over the building where I was preaching.  The thunder and lightning that came with that storm was intense.  The rain was heavy.  I believe the Lord was showing in the natural what was about to occur in the supernatural or spiritual realm.

Just before the recent flooding in Toronto, I spent a day painting.  Two of the paintings looked like rain was bursting and one of them actually had flooding around houses.

The Scriptures I got in conjunction with what I believe is occurring were Psalm 50:1-6:

The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets. From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages. He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people:
“Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for he is a God of justice.

And Luke 3:3-6:

He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. And all people will see God’s salvation.’

This is the hour of the Rising of the Lord.  He will come like fire to those who are not prepared to invite Him into their hearts.  He will come like the rain to those who gladly receive Him.

I am prophesying that evil will be wiped out in the path of the Lord’s coming.  People have defamed His name. They have called evil good and good evil.  The Lord is not pleased how people have justified all forms of sin and justified it by saying that God supports their lifestyles.

The Lord is coming to make His name Holy.  He is sanctifying His name among the nations.  A great sweeping is going to take place as the floods rise to vomit evil from the land.

The land is not pleased with the evil that roams upon it.  From every corner of the earth there is a crying out or groaning taking place.  People will come to know who their God is.  There are those who say there is no God who are about to worship the one true God.  He is going to visit those who didn’t even seek Him and they will become the ones to carry the cross into the earth.

Yes, we are indeed in the midst of interesting prophetic times. As those advancing into their destiny, you and I are called to prepare the way of the Lord—in the dry heat of the wilderness and through the waters of the flood.
