On the principle of better late than never Im posting the blog at the eleventh hour ( literally) today. Apologies. I hit the ground running at half seven this morning and have only just stopped running now - Ive just had no time at all to sit and write this until now. So here you have it. I shall keep it short and sweet.
It rained today. All day. Quite hard. By 5.30pm when I was taking Ben to his guitar lesson the river in the village was up to the top of the bridge and the fields were flooded. The drive to the lesson takes us along the ridge of a hill where a small stream runs in the valley down to the left. It is usually a thin ribbon of water meandering slowly through the farmland. This afternoon it just looked like an large inland lake had always been there.
I was thinking about how quickly land can flood. Yesterday the sheep had grass on which to graze and after seven or eight hours of rain the fields are properly flooded . And as that thought flitted across my brain so did this one.
The thing that struck me was the speed at which the waters can rise. It is staggering - and of course it is why it is so difficult for people to plan for floods. And why floods do so much damage.
Yesterday I was reading something Paul Cain had prophesied . He said this
Seems good to me that you are going to see some things that will leave some of you without words for days, there is a resurgence of the fear of the Lord coming, and it will fall suddenly, unexpectedly and unannounced. A new day is coming, it is not an encore - this will be like no other .
This will be a hallmark of a huge wave of the Spirit that will sweep around the earth. It will be about holiness and purity of heart, and it is a waste of time telling folk to get ready. It will just come. Suddenly. A revival with a hallmark of tears, but also profound intimacy with the person of the Holy Spirit.
Suddenly. That's the word. Suddenly like a flood He will come and we will know His glory.
Come Holy Spirit!
