I Can Smell the Rain !

I know oh so well, the smell of rain having grown up in the tropical city of Lagos. First the dusty swirl, then the winds pick up quickly and the sun darkens and you rush to close already rattling windows while doors slam ahead of you...And through all this, you actually smell the rain before it comes pouring down; I can't explain it but it smells like a mixture of dew, dust and wind if that makes any sense.

I can smell the rain now! This time it's a different kind of rain - it's the rain of His Presence. You see when you're used to smelling physical rain, smelling spiritual rain comes naturally to you...I can only say that His Presence is set to be released all over the earth. We have enjoyed the 'dew and dust' for years, we have also enjoyed the 'wind' as well and they were all good; but what's about to come now is the all-encompassing, release of God Himself.

How do I know this? Well the the earth is getting darker, the windows of my soul are rattling and the doors of hell are slamming in terror of the coming King...so get ready! He comes again as in Wales and Asuza, only much more! Get ready for a huge downpour!

The Book of Revelation

Have you ever read through the Book of Revelation in the Bible and wondered, 'what on earth...?' about all the symbolism and prophecies. I literally have always read it as a storybook while asking the Spirit of God for understanding but recently, a flurry of God-incidences have led me back to study it in-depth.

I believe we're about to see very soon a lot from the Book of Revelation begin to transpire, God is drawing so many back to this book to study and be aware of the next phase the Body is about to enter. I also notice my interest for the Book of Ezekiel and the study of the history of Israel is beginning to increase; we are getting set for the end of the world as we know it and transitioning into a world that we need absolute guidance from the Holy Spirit to live and move and have our being.

Israel is like a prophetic time-clock and watching events unfold there is a sign to the Body of Christ; even the heavens are declaring it. A couple of years ago I saw a sign in the skies - clouds 'dancing back and forth' like lights. I called my family to behold the unusual sight with me and even though we could not explain it, I sensed it was a sign of the end times as spoken of in Matthew 24.

What should we be doing in this season? Become fearful? No! We should rejoice and draw even closer to Him, that will be our saving grace. As the world gets darker, the promise is that we will shine brighter...but we need to be one with Jesus, not with the world, but with Jesus and Him alone.

War Cry From Heaven!

I feel in my spirit that this year we will bring forth the shout of the Lord that has been embedded deep in our spirits. We all have a deep cry in our hearts of unfinished, prolonged and delayed promises, some of which have been hindered by hell; but this is the year for them to begin to come forth! Not without a shout...not without A SHOUT! A war cry from Heaven!

We are only in the third month of 2009 but I have already on several occasions found myself letting out a loud shout from my spirit into the atmosphere such that I even surprised myself saying, "where did that come from?" But I believe we are releasing on earth what is currently happening in heaven - the victory shouts of the heavenly hosts who are preparing for the final confrontation with hell's forces.

Joshua 6:20 says "...they gave a loud shout, and the walls collapsed..." [Good News Bible]; I believe this encapsulates what the year 2009 is all about. As we give A LOUD SHOUT, all walls keeping us hedged in and preventing us from accessing our Promised Land and destiny for this new season SHALL COME DOWN!!!
