Jennifer Eivaz: "The DROUGHT IS OVER! A Prophetic Word for California and How it Will Affect the Nation"
Word of the Lord: "The Drought is Over"
I was enjoying the cool beach air and the light rain in
Carmel, California
last week, as I took some personal time to think about and work on some writing
assignments. The atmosphere was spiritually open and I sensed the prophetic
anointing the moment I arrived. I normally encounter moderate to severe
spiritual problems in each city I travel to, requiring a day or two of focused
prayer just to find my balance. This time it was different and I was just
grateful to have the peace of God on the very first day.
As I was walking towards the beach, the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to my
heart. He said,
"The drought is over." I didn't
react, but continued to listen. He repeated it again saying,
"The
drought is over and the rains are coming back to California." California has been in a physical drought
for three or four years officially and has been rationing water. I live in the
farm belt of
California
and water is critical to our economy. I've had prophetic words connected to the
appearance of rain in the past, but this time it felt like a much stronger
word.
Elijah and Intercessory Prayer
I suddenly connected the analogy of Elijah on
Mt.
Carmel in I Kings 18 and my personal
trip to
Carmel, California. The opening verse of this
chapter is a specific instruction to Elijah from the Lord to "present
yourself to Ahab and I will send rain on the earth." They too were in
their third year of drought and without a word from the Lord, it was not going
to change. It was also the set-up for that famous showdown between the prophets
of Baal, Jezebel, and the prophet Elijah.
I believe this was a God-ordained coincidence as I've had my own dealings
with the spirit of Jezebel in
California.
I keep prophetic watch for the state and intercede deeply for it. This
prophetic watch began with a vision about eight years ago that would play
repeatedly inside my imagination. I kept seeing a scene of a mother bear
fighting for her cubs. It reminded me of the bear on the
California
state flag, but I didn't connect it until a visiting minister from
England came to
speak at our church. She had shared a prophetic word about the coming glory
revival for the state of
California.
When she shared the word, a prophetic burden came on me from the Lord
and I began to fight in prayer for the children of California like a mother who had lost her
"cubs.
Soon after, I also had a visitation from an angel with instructions on how
to intercede for the state. I can't give all the details here, but one of the
instructions was to:
A
sk the Lord for the anointing of Elijah to come
upon the state to first reconcile families and second to destroy Jezebel (Mal. 4:5-6).
As my intercessory teams and I obeyed the Lord to pray, we experienced very
complex spiritual warfare that told us to never be complacent about the sick
and violent assignments against children.
The Jezebel spirit hates and destroys
children and we were to pray always. We've continued our intercession for
California and have not
given the Lord rest on this matter (Isaiah. 62:7).
Prophetic Dream: Storms of Glory Coming to the Church
At the end of my week in
Carmel,
the Lord gave me a prophetic dream. I was in a two-story educational facility
in the middle of a well-watered, lush valley and hillside. The facility didn't
belong to me, but in the dream I held authority to provide counsel within this
building. I only saw one room on the top floor, but it needed some attention!
It was dusty and the furniture was all out of place. I looked out the window
and watched a white tornado hit a home about 1/3rd of a mile away. It flattened
the garage and then went through the interior and gutted the inside. I also
knew there were 30 tornadoes coming towards this educational facility very
soon. The facility leader was a pretty red-haired woman who had a small company
of followers with her. I warned her in the dream about the coming white
tornadoes.
The timing of this dream concerned me at first. Understand that I had heard
a specific prophetic word about rain and then I had a specific dream about the
coming tornadoes! The very next day after this dream, and as many of you have
read, there were dangerous rain downpours in the mid-west with tornadoes
touching down in different places as well. In all sensitivity, I don't think my
word and dream were about the mid-west situation, although it can appear that
way on the surface.
I have too much intercessory history with
California
and it resonated with me to be more about the West Coast with promising
implications for the rest of the
United States. I wanted to make
that clear and to remain sensitive to the serious weather mayhem that occurred
with all prayerfulness.

Storm Clouds |
With that being said, what is God saying? First of all, to California He is
saying:
there are storms, actually movements, of white glory coming to
the Church.
This is good news. It's a deep glory, it's full of His
holiness, and has movement on it. Ultimately, this is about the salvation of
souls and advancing the
Kingdom
of God in ways we
couldn't make happen on our own.
This glory "movement" will
first challenge anything out of order by removing it or cleaning it out.
If you are a pastor, you will most likely experience your church being sifted.
People who aren't with you will be moved out. You need them to go so you can
move forward. Set your heart to NOT stay in grief, to NOT be bitter, but to
praise Him because it needed to happen.

For others, this will challenge your friendships for the same reason.
Your
friendships and relationships will be reordered so you can run with those who
are willing to run. We are also going to learn on a whole new level
that just being sincere is not enough. Sincerity must also host the Presence of
God to be effective. We will have to be in step with what God is doing and
really learn how to carry the Glory of God in a way that "moves." It
will be a new thing for many of us. Glory!
For the rest of the nation, here is what I believe God is doing in
connection with this white glory – this "movement" coming to
California. Former San
Francisco Mayor, Gavin Newsom, once said, "What happens in
California will happen
everywhere" (my paraphrase.)
I'm not in agreement with most of the former
mayor's stances, but many of us heard the prophetic word in his statements.
(The Holy Spirit does prophesy through unbelievers on occasion: John 11:49-51.)
When I was attending college in
Tulsa,
Oklahoma, I began to notice a
weather pattern. When it rained in
California,
that storm would many times show up three or four days later in
Oklahoma. It would pick
up force along the way, however, and be much stronger once it came to the
mid-west. I believe this is a prophetic illustration for us.
This glory
movement coming to California will travel
through the United States
and pick up force along the way as it travels into different states.
California
is a "Revivalist" State
California
is a historical "well" for revivalists and revival movements. God
blesses each state with its own glory and we recognize
California as a consistent carrier of
revival. I'm not saying that powerful moves of God will never start anywhere
else. Of course they will! Either way, we can always count on
California to bring forth a move of God and
she's going to birth another.

Rain (Photo via Pixabay) |
When Elijah heard from the Lord about the rain, he didn't sit there. He went
into a cave and actively prayed for the rain to come. With that said,
I
actively make the decree to California,
"Your drought is over. The rains are coming!" Go ahead and
receive this for yourself and receive it for the Body of Christ. When the
physical rains come, recognize it as a blessing.
The Lord spoke to me a few
years ago out of Deut. 28:12 and said, "When you see the rain, know that I
am blessing all the works of your hands." With that said, we bless the
rain.
We don't curse it, complain against it, or accept the attitude that it
inconveniences us. We bless the rain!
Finally, how do we prepare ourselves for these "white glory"
movements coming to our lives and to our churches? I haven't experienced this
before in the way I see it coming, and honestly feel inadequate to instruct for
it.
I do know the Word, however. It says, "The Lord God is a sun and
shield, He gives grace and glory..." (Psalms. 84:11). I believe that God
shines His light on what needs to be seen and He then shields your heart as you
see it. This helps us to see what needs to be set in order in our lives with
joy and not condemnation.
He also gives grace at the same time He's
giving glory. He's not bringing a glory movement to
California and then to the nation so we can
fail at it. There will be His grace to match His glory.
