When The Brook Dries Up

Good Saturday, beloved of God!

I have an important prayer request and issues we need to know by God.

The LORD taught me this principal along time ago.  Do you recall in the Bible when there was a drought and famine in the land?

In this story, God led Elijah to prophesy about the drought and famine. and how, afterwards The LORD led Elijah to The Brook Cherith and God would sustain him there.

“During a time of drought, the word of The LORD directed Elijah to camp by The Brook Cherith where the ravens would bring him bread and meat twice a day and he could drink from The Brook,”   1 Kings 17:4.

I am encouraged by this scripture that The LORD always takes care of His prophets and other prophetic voices and ministers who must speak the truth, regardless of the threats, actions, and rejections that come.

The Prophet came and announced God had to get the people’s attention and to understand why this type of message, because God is very concerned by the overall condition of the people and the land.

The people were following King Ahab and there’s no greater method to get a hold of people and the evil King but to cut off the supply of rain and sustenance.

Well, The LORD took care of Elijah and told him to camp out by The Brook.  The LORD told him to stay there, and the ravens of the air brought him bread and meat, twice a day.

It encourages me that when things get hard, that if I am walking closely with The LORD, HE will sustain me with ALL my needs even if others are not.

God led Elijah away from the people of the land and Elijah communed with The LORD. Therefore, God took care of Elijah.  It was just him and God.

I wanted to post this and see if anyone could relate to my thoughts I’ve had.

I have had various people in the past and recent tell me that when the provincial is far away from Gods Word, we must trust that when we seek God and follow HIM and live under God’s provision.

“Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, a said to Ahab, “As surely as The LORD lives — the God of Israel before whom I stand — there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”
Then a revelation from The LORD came to Elijah:  “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by The Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan and you are to drink from The Brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
So Elijah did what The LORD had told him, and he went and lived by The Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.  The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from The Brook.  Sometime later, however, The Brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.”   1 Kings 17:1-7.

What I have learned in my life is that when The Brook dries up and the bread and meat stop coming, it is time to seek The LORD about where to go.

Whatever is happening in your life, if things are changing dramatically and things are closing or pointing to a new direction, that is what I sense The LORD is trying to get my attention to make an informed decision.

I am feeling this right now for me so could you pray?

I am sensing I will be leaving eventually — but I will remain in this region.

However, right now, I think He is showing me about taking a Spiritual major step for me to go on a podcast or some type of platform to speak, so that I can have free speech to say or have others say what God wants.

For those who know me, and God is showing you things towards me, please let me know in my private message [Facebook Messenger].

I have no idea of what all that means, so I will need someone to help me and teach me how to get established.

I sense this like it was in 1989 when God told me I would go on the internet and that I would have a website and that I would publish HIS Words to the people.  (There is a vision if you are interested about this)

Again, He asked me to do something I had no idea about, but I was willing.  The LORD told me it would be up in a month, and I would know what to do.

God moved on Bill and Marsha Burns, and a lot of prophecy happened, and I worked with their tech there at Faith Tabernacle helped me so much and not only was I up before a month, but I was also up in 7 days and I was taught how to do the basics of creating a website and to write, upload and publish.

It was so amazing, because I was never interested in the internet, and I didn’t know how to start.

I will always thank God for that coming together, it was like a Spiritual collision (that went boom!) that took place between us and it was the beginning of many prophets being raised up in the latter 1980’s.

I am sensing this here too the same kind of thing just a different platform.

Would you pray for me please and if The LORD shows you anything pertinent to this vision let me know?

I will still be writing too as He leads me, he is just saying that I will be live.

I am very intimidated by this.  I would rather not do this, but I will obey the Word of The LORD.

Whoever connects with this will know if it is true for you, and what needs to happen, spiritually, physically and financially to set it up and running.

If you cannot help, please pray for me and the acquisition of the type of equipment I will need.

I need to know what platform; I do not believe I will be on Facebook much longer or will have a limited influence there.

In closing I believe there is a spiritual famine and drought and I believe it is my time to live in a widow’s house and serve The LORD and he will provide all the pieces, resources, and bring everything together.

“The days are coming, declares The LORD GOD, when I will send a famine on the land — not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of The LORD.“   Amos 8:11.

In HIS Grace and Mercy,
