I'm going to be updating you guys soon again with a heavy prayer request. For over the past month we have had zero rain. It being the rainy season here, it's currently on the verge of drought and it's going to be a very bad scene if it hasn't already become one. The next year most of this country it seems won't have food.
After our first week of rain, as I laid awake one night listening to the witch doctors in all the communities screaming and banging their drums I thought to myself "I want to walk over there, and have an Elijah showdown with these men. Show them who has the real authority. Not their dead ancestors, but the risen Christ."
A week later Keren, another short termer here from Alberta, said the same thing to me, that she thought we should have an Elijah showdown with them. Because we need rain, and we want God, not the curandeiro's to have the glory.
A week later Jeff came over and said that he had just had this idea as well. This week I overheard one of the missionaries here, Rick, saying the same thing to some of the local pastors who work on the farm here.
I honestly believe that we need to gather the forces, and do some battle in the heavenly realms. To show these people that our God is real, and that He is almighty. For Him to receive the glory and honour and praise. And for the rains He sends to revive the crops and save Mozambique from this impending famine.
I would love to have my brothers and sisters back home join us in this battle. That the armies of Heaven would descend and that we would witness the power of our LORD as we engage in combat.
For 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. Eph 6:12
Amen.
