Floods of Glory! Momentum is Building!
Written By : Apostle Jane Hamon
By now I am certain you have heard of the flooding that occurred last week in the sanctuary of Vision Church @ Christian International leaving at least $100,000 in uninsured damage (we don’t live in a flood zone so didn’t have coverage for this loss). Something I haven’t mentioned is that during our New Year’s Eve service this year I saw a vision. I wrote the following the first week of January:
“I had a vision during our New Year’s celebration where I saw a rising floodwaters. I knew what I was seeing was not a destructive evil flood, but a flooding of God’s glory into the earth. Everywhere the flood water touched was revived, rejuvenated and restored. It was like the Claritin commercial where I viewed the earth through a dull film which was then stripped away leaving things crystal clear. I believe this release of God’s glory will bring forth the Awakening and Revival that we have been crying out for. Lord, show us your glory!”
So we have had a growing sense of excitement here at CI. This is certainly part of God’s prophetic process for us and for those who are crying out for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The flood waters were a fulfillment of prophecy in our prophetic house. We believe this is a sign that God is baptizing the whole prophetic movement and His prophetic people with rivers of living water from heaven! This is not robbery…..this is renovation and rejuvenation! It is Revival and Restoration! It is a manifestation of the release of the glory of God in our territory. Even now, the effects of the Gulf Stream Revival are sweeping through the panhandle of Florida! God is on the move! Momentum is building! One thing I know for certain: God always loves to take a mess and turn it into a miracle!
The flood is a symbol of God’s mighty hand. The scriptural symbol of the flood is used as a destructive force as it was the instrument used to destroy a wicked world in the times of Noah. But after that time God gave the rainbow as a sign of covenant that He would never use this destructive force against the earth again. Isaiah 59:12 is translated in the NKJV this way: “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of The Lord will lift up a standard against him.” In this translation the flood is attributed as the tactic of the enemy and The Lord then rises against him. However, upon closer examination a more accurate translation would be (note the comma placement), “When the enemy come in, LIKE A FLOOD The Spirit of The Lord will raise up a standard against him!” Whoa! What a difference! NIV says it this way: “For He will come like a pent up flood that the breath of The Lord drives along”. So we see that the flood is actually a prophetic sign of God arising against our enemies! It is a time of victory for his people! It is a time God is fighting for us!
The flood is also a symbol of God’s blessing. Isaiah 44:3 says “For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.” Psalms 66:12 also says, “we went through the fire and through the water, but you have brought us out to rich fulfillment.” God wants to quench our thirst! He wants to bless our generations with the reality of his presence and power! He longs to bring us into rich fulfillment!
Get ready for a season of prophetic fulfillment, a time of the glory of God being demonstrated, and a time of tremendous victory for the people of God! Momentum is building! Lord, open the floodgates of heaven!
