Well, here is the news, we started our
yesterday and it is sure getting a lot of traffic. If you haven't taken a look be sure you do, and don't say I didn't tell you!
But that isn't the big news. The big news is that when we planned the big event there was no rain in the forecast that looked like it would amount to anything. Since yesterday morning, which is exactly when the event started, it has rained 3 inches! A steady rain, and it is still coming!
Now to some people that may seem like a coincidence, but if you read the event page, I wrote on there, "and who knows, maybe it will even rain" more than once. Add to that, that it is called a "Drought Sale." Add to that our farm is called Carmel Farm. We named it that for 2 reasons. #1 Carmel is hebrew for "fruitful". #2 Mount Carmel is the place where Elijah defeated Jezebel. We have a prophetic ministry and prophets are always hounded by a Jezebel Spirit. So the Carmel name is really a proclamation and reminder. BUT the interesting thing is After Elijah defeated Jezebel, it rained! And it hadn't rained in a long, long time. They were in a DROUGHT! Do I always read between the lines like this? Yes I do. Do I always see a God message? Yes I do. So what do I think He is saying? I think He is telling us to move forward, to keep forging ahead, that He is pleased! That Jezebel is defeated and help is on the way! One of the biggest things we share to folks is the importance of submission. Total submission to Jesus. The word "Jezebel" means "un-husbanded" or in other words, un-committed, un-submitted. And it was King Jehu, which means "Jehovah (God) is He" that took down Jezebel once and for all. So what is the message I see in all this?
Jesus to the rescue! |
