When the rains come, it will rain and rain and rain, for many months it will pour until people cry out "Please stop the rain!" The ground will be water logged, and the creeks will overflow their banks, out back towns will be under water and the news cameras, which once visited towns that shipped water in by truck, will be watching water cover houses.

During prayer at the Apostolic Summit, in Rockhampton, QLD the spirit of the Lord provoked me with this question, "Robert, what would it look like if I gave authority to just one man, to bring and then to break a drought? I did so in the days of Elijah. I can find just one person to turn the tide in these events."

10th July 2007
During prayer at a retreat in the Gold Coast, QLD the following word came to me in a kind of poetry:

"Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.
I hear the sound of rushing, mighty waters.
Floods, gentle floods, ancient river beds flowing.
Deserts blooming, red rock pouring, salt lakes filling.
Rain."

Then came the following stanza:

"Icebergs floating, ice sheets melting, snow capped ranges dripping down.
Glaciers receding, islands drowning, storm clouds brewing, lightning flashing."

Interpretation

I think it would be safe to say that the drought, if not now broken, will soon be over. But when it does end, we need to pray for mercy, because by these words it will rain incessantly, causing flooding and great damage. The upside of flooding is that it washes the river systems clean and clear again. The Murray Darling needs it desperately.

There is a broader warning/ implication of this word, in that it would seem to give credence to the global warming phenomena and tells us that island nations will drown and coastal cities will experience it too.

Application

The signs to us of the end of the drought are clear

· Ancient river beds flowing. Those river beds which are dry right now will flow again.
· Deserts blooming. When the rain falls in the outback the desert will bloom with wildflowers.
· Red rock pouring. This is an allusion to storms over Ayer's Rock (Uluru) with water pouring off it.
· Salt lakes filling. There are many inland salt lakes, in SA, NT and QLD which could fill with water.
