Preparing for Rain, Running Ahead of Power & Authority

4th Article in the series, “What is happening Steve?”

We cannot just pray but we must run when God is about to send His rain. If you read yesterday’s article about God’s receipt for rain from heaven and you said to yourself, “I have done all of this” then what I am about to say it the ‘frosting on the cake’ for the rain from heaven you had been expecting.

(A Historical note: After the great Azusa Street Revival in L.A., William Seymour stated, “In about 100 years a greater revival would be sent from heaven much great than the Azusa Revival.” God told me, “Do not call it a revival because it is much greater than any other revival or spiritual awakening that has ever taken place in America.” It would not last a few years [3 to 6 years] but continue for many years.)

There is a final ingredient to having the rain from heaven; it is the very last thing Elijah did. And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel (I Kings 18:46. Elijah ran but he did not just run but he outran the horses and chariot of King Ahab.

This is the final act we must be prepared to do. This is the most significant aspect of experiencing God’s rain from heaven. It is God’s rain, which you cannot contain. Rain that floods everything and empowers us to do God’s will at every level of our society.

For too long the church has been reacting to political authority and power influence in our nation. God never meant that to be. God is supposed to be the first and final answer in every nation and society. We have been voting and hoping for God to give us what we need through our political process. This must stop! We are to ‘outrun’ or ‘run ahead’ of the king’s power and authority (his horses and chariots).

(Historical note #2: After Pentecost, the 120 individuals in the upper room took the rain and fire from heaven (the Holy Spirit—His anointing, the five ministries, and the rain of the Holy Spirit) into all the world. Within 40 years the Roman Empire began to crumble under the influence of the Holy Spirit. It is the power of God, not the power of political authority that is to reign supreme over the earth. The early Church learned to run and so must we also.)

If you want things to say as they are and not ‘outrun’ the political power and authority of our land, then God will not send us His rain. To have His rain is to run ahead of all political power and authority that exists in the earth. God wants to set the standard for what is right, what is just, what is good and righteous. There is nothing good in this world outside of Jesus Christ. Want rain then run ahead of all natural and political authority and power. This is God’s promise embedded in the Holy Spirit. We are to place all things under Jesus’ feet and make all things in subjection to Him. This is our purpose and duty—to run! To run with God’s authority and power is to cause the world to react to God, not the other way around.

Will you run with me? Will you do what Jesus wants you to do? Will you ‘outrun’ all authority in the earth using the authority and power of Christ to doing God’s will? Will we continue to accept what is ‘politically correct’ or what God says? Will you allow Christ to be the first and the last answer to every need and every question the world is trying to answer?

Will you hear His voice, humble yourself, pray without stopping, asking forgiveness and God’s healing of rain over our land, and last but not least, outrun the King’s power and authority? Will you carry the anointing of God’s power and authority throughout all the earth? Will you run!
