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.
