My favorite weather phenomenon is the moment just before a storm. The atmosphere is so tangible with the presence of rain. Thunder and lightning put on a prectacular show as it draws closer…
So too on a spiritual level. When the storms of life come thundering through, run to the Father. His presence is so tangible, especially during those times. He is your protector, your stronghold. Don’t stop praying, God will fight your battles. Let the heavenly light show commence over you, enjoy it as you reside in the safety of His presence. Bless you.

Rain Down
Shh…
Listen…
In the distance…
There is a rumble.
It approaches quickly
And it comes to devour, kill and destroy.
Be careful!
Clouds of gloominess and despair
Strike at your feet
With bolts of darkness.
Jagged lines of deceit
Desperately seek a chink in your armour,
But smash it with your faithful shield
And rebuke it with your sword.
There seems to be a heaviness around you…
And a lack of warmth,
But in the surroundings
The colours seem brighter than before…
More outstanding…
In a moment,
A drop pats your cheek,
And then another…
And another…
The heavens open
And the torrential rain falls upon you:
Filling you with His presence,
With His anointing,
With His Spirit.
Rain down!
Rain down!
Be drenched with the living waters…
Be filled to the point of over-flowing.
Drop to your knees.
Lift up your hands,
And rejoice in the name of the Lord.
Richard Lionheart
Romans 11:36
