Fire to the Flood
"Then he said to his servant, “Go and look out toward the sea.”
1 Kings 18:43
In this passage we read how Elijah called forth in faith a Mighty rain storm. He prayed and prayed with his head down low until a small, non-intimidating cloud appeared. And as that cloud drew near, a Mighty storm unloaded water to a dry Kingdom.
Is your life experiencing lack or dryness? Are you thirsting for more? Your more can be any of a myriad of things. More groceries for your family. More gas in the car. More pay at your job. More time off from your job to spend with those you love.
More. More. More....
God is prepared to be your More.
When trials come, and they always do, you may have to pass through the Fire to get to the Flood.
But I promise you, Dear One—
Not even a stench of smoke will be residue on you. Instead, you will emit a pleasing aroma. So relaxed and calm you will be in Holy Serenity people may even mistake you for being sleepy or tired. But instead, they will be experiencing a heart Alive and on Fire!
The deeper and broader your Faith grows the more the One it is Anchored to will lead you out into uncharted waters, gaining new territory, and creating living proof that all things are possible with God.
So go ahead...
Step into the Blaze.
Put a smile on your face.
Drink it in...
Your experiences are casting vision for your future.
The Fire is not your home, but the prophetic mantle within you kind of likes the Fire. It’s not afraid of the Fire. Because you’ve been trained on how to walk through the Fire to get to God’s Garden Flood of Delight. Lush looks good on you.
He will bring you respite.
Sorrow only last but a Night.
New Hope.
New Joy—
New, New, NEW! Joys come in the morning.
He is the One who makes all things new and I think it looks marvelous on you.
So hold tight and watch the Holy One of Heaven burst on the scene like a Mighty Storm cloud and wash away every care, trouble and cleansing giving new birth, new life, new joy, new season. The soil beneath your feet with sustain you.
Square your shoulders. Though they carry a lot—God knows just how to rub the right spot and bring supernatural relief even in the midst of deep sorrow or grief. It’s truly His pleasure to relieve you.

“When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.”
Isaiah 43:2
