Miracle Rain

Well, I'm exhausted but wired and have to write this before I sleep.  Tonight we had a "Prayer Encounter" Evening for our youth.  It is an interactive environment where they can walk through rooms in the building, which are set up as different prayer stations, with different ways of praying.  We had a powerful time and at the end we gathered together to worship.  That morning God had shown me a picture and said "Ask me for rain".  I thought he was speaking spiritually but tonight I felt like we were to ask him for rain in the natural.  You see, the Philippines is in the middle of a terrible drought.  We have had no rain for months!  Every day is dry.  Many farmers are losing their land and livelihood.  Everything is parched.  We have had city water in the pipes for about 3 hours only in the last six or so weeks.  There are power cuts throughout the Philippines as the dams are so low and there are electricity shortages.


So for some time the young people passionately cried out for rain.  First in the natural, but then also in the spiritual.  We rejoiced, sung and danced as we declared that Forever, God is faithful and His love endures forever.  As we were preparing to leave....the youth started shouting "It's raining!!"  and it was..... 
God truly is faithful.  All the way home, the kids were just saying over and over.. "It's a miracle.  God is so good."

He loves the Philippines.   And so do I.....
