“Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.” The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.” So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘ Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.'” ~ 1 Kings 18: 43-44
There was a severe drought in Israel; God had shut up the heavens because of King Ahab and Jezebel’s idolatry. It had not rained for three and a half years. Elijah prayed earnestly seven times without doubting or giving up. Even before he saw the small speck of a cloud, he had told Ahab, “Go eat and drink for there is the sound of a heavy rain.”
Are you in a drought? Are you believing God for a mighty miracle? A complete change in your situation? Begin to pray earnestly and believe without doubting for your miracle. Proclaim it, there is the sound of abundance coming, even though there are no significant features, nothing is seeming to change, look toward the sea, there is a small cloud rising, it’s your miracle, your abundant rain.
Heavenly Father, hear us from heaven and touch our generation. Bring about the mighty miracles that your people need today. Bring healing, change finances, heal depression. LORD mend the situation in families and unite them again. Let love reign in our life, let forgiveness show through in all situations. Change circumstances in workplaces. LORD breathe on the economies of the world, jump-start the economic recovery, and provide the needed jobs. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
