Cloud Burst
Will you shout before the breakthrough comes?
Will you believe before the transformation is visible.
1 Kings 18:41-46 (NIV)
41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” 42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
43 “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.”
44 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.’”
45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. 46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.

Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
1 John 4:4 (NIV)
4You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
For just as my people at Jericho marched around the walls of that great city 7 times day after day – and even before the walks fell they shouted in faith that the walls would fall – and they did.
The shout of faith comes BEFORE the breakthrough – not AFTER the the breakthrough is visible.
Will you be my army to march out in holy array believing that there will be victory even before the battle is won. That is the army I am raising up. That is the force that will see heaven come to earth – those that shout after the victory comes are celebrating what their eyes have seen. Blessed are you who shout believing that victory WILL come. For you will not only celebrate but shall be called fellow victors in Christ!
John 20:29 (NIV)
“…blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
