Open the Flood Gates of Heaven
As we enter into my first Shavuot, my heart ponds with excitement, why? Because this was the day HaShem saw fit to come down and visit his people, the heavens could hardy contain the glory as He spoke the Living Words to the children of Israel. In the good news we are told of the former rain an outpouring that cause the disciples of Yehoshua (Yeshua) to speak in different languages so that the good news was brought to Africa, Asia, Europe and beyond.
I quote a famous chorus ‘I want, I want that kind of blessing that saves and keeps and satisfies the soul’, I want Adonai to come down and speak to me fill me and overflow, as another chorus say “open the floodgates of Heaven and let it rain”. Brethren I desire the latter rain the rain that Joel spoke of the outpouring of a lifetime, may it be His will that on this Shavuot he can see our desperation and our longing and he will breath upon use one more time tongues of fire. I want to know what it is to be so filled that the sick will rush to my shadow in hopes of relief. Far too long have we been contented with milk , I call upon all Heaven to hear my voice open the flood gates of Heaven and let it rain like never before. I truly believe the final outpouring will happen on the same day as the first and in a similar if not greater manner.
Oh how the Christians have missed out for the Ruach testifies of Y’hoshua if the Ruach HaKodesh was really upon them then the would see how important it is to observe Shavuot for it the Ruach did not come the heathen would be heathen still,but the Comforter did come and through this the gentiles are save. I don’t wish to be of myself, for I am but filthy rags, I do not wish to be filled so I can go out speaking in “crazy incantations” or so I can start touching peoples heads so they can fall backwards and rise up professing healing, NO I want to be filled because without the power from on high how can we stand. Beloved we wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers and I tell you if the power is not with you your Goliaths will trample over you, but if HaShem be fore you, a snakes venom can have no affect and smallest stone can skill an army of giants.
Father we need an overflowing these streams can hardly suffice let your outpouring be like a raging river, beloved it is no coincidence that Adonai would have brought me this far just to leave me dry a song I once knew said “fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord, come and quench this thirsting of my soul…fill my cup and make me whole”. I desire the heavenly waters the true fountain that if I drink from it I won’t thirst again. On this Shavuot pray with me and I with you that HaShem fulfill the prophecy of Joel: And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
