Day 39

Off to Nashville tomorrow!
.
This . . .
There have been many prophecies swirling around "The Call Nashville". I have mentioned several of them in this blog over the last 40 days, so I don't guess I'll mention any of them again here. These are almost all (maybe all) very positive words and I am praying that they will be fulfilled. They could be summed up like this . . .
God is going to pour out His spirit in new and powerful ways for the purpose of empowring his people to do all that is in His heart to do.
.
That . . .
What is the proper response to a prophecy like that?
Let me suggest a not very good response, "Well I guess we will just have to wait and see."
That is a bit like saying, "I guess God could do that, but I don't know if he will, so let's just wait and see."
Consider Elijah.
After a long drought, Elijah propheies in I Kings 18 . . .
“Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.” In other words, "It's going to rain".
Elijah's response could have been, "Well I guess we will just have to wait and see", but that was not Elijah's response.
.
This is That . . .
And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, 43 and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.”
So he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.”
44 Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.’”
45 Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain.
.
That is the correct response . . . PRAY! And that is what "The Call Nashville" is all about. Praying in all that has been already proclaimed in the "Word of God".
The word is, "The rain is coming".
Just like Elijah, let's pray it in.
And then, just like Elijah, let's take off and out run that chariot!
