Our Lake
Oroville , the main water source for Southern California is very low. A sobering thought is that there was not
sufficient rain and a good snow pack to fill it.
A couple months ago, I
suggested NOT to pray for rain, but to speak to the rain clouds to come and
bring rain. Yes God did send some rain,
but not enough. Then we all relaxed. Many are thinking "maybe next year will be a better season."
The alarm and cries of the
media and newspapers are; “We are in a draught – the crops will fail, we need
water for our animals and for the people.
I am reminded when Jesus told
his disciples to SAY (not pray) - Mark
11:23
For assuredly, I say
to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into
the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but
believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever
he says.
Consider another scripture
story about Moses - - - God gave him specific instructions to SPEAK and sadly he did not obey and SAY as he was told.
Numbers
20:7, 8 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; you and your
brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock
before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for
them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”
Just for a moment let us
expand our thinking and our believing and understand that God does cause water
to flow out of rocks. This is evidenced
by tiny springs that bubble up from rocks and turn into creeks and by huge water falls that cascade
into rivers. It is a fact that water
does come from rocks.
May I suggest not to pray for
rain, but to SAY to the ROCKS in our mountains to crack open and pour out water
to fill our lake.
What I am asking is for you
to open your mouth and with your voice to speak to the mountain rocks to rip open
and to flow forth water.
To some this may seem silly
or foolish, but I am reminded that Jesus did many things that seemed
irrational, and he was called all sorts of crazy names.
If you are embarrassed to SAY
in public, just SAY with me now, and continue to SAY: “Rocks split open and gush out water into our
Lake .”
Not prayen but just SAYEN !!
"If two or three agree as touching anything on earth, it shall be done."

I prayed that prayer you gave us; I live in California too and this is a drought indeed. The effects are magnified by too many people living here, and if our population was what is was 10 years or 20 years ago the water would be much more sufficient.
Amen, Hazel. The Word of God was used to speak all things into existence and He allows us to call on His name and power for times such as these. Thanks for the reminder.
Good thinkin'. There's so much going on around and about our world And, I, being a rock addict can easily understand why/hour our Lord, the Rock, would be spreading His water around and around.You made me smile and filled with encouragement to encourage others. Thanks much!
