TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
In First Kings 18, the Samaritans had been in a great famine. For three
and a half years, there had been no rain. The prophet Elijah showed up
and said to King Ahab, “I hear the sound of the abundance of rain.” When
he said that, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, yet he chose to believe
what he heard in his spirit in spite of what he saw in the natural. With
his eyes, he saw drought, famine and barrenness; but inside, he heard the sound of the abundance of rain.
Friend, this is what faith is all about. You’ve got to believe what you
hear in your heart even when you see just the opposite. God is saying,
“There’s about to be an abundance of favor in your life. The drought is
coming to an end. You’re going to see healing, restoration, new
opportunities, new growth.”
Soon after, that rainstorm came.
And just like Elijah, you have to believe that your rainstorm of
blessing is right around the corner. No matter what anyone says, no
matter what happens, keep believing and keep declaring because soon you
will hear the sound of rain!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for the blessing and victory You have in store for my
future. Thank You for allowing me to see and hear in my heart the good
things You have planned. I choose to keep my eyes on You and declare
Your blessing over my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
