Tonight as the wind blew and the sky was growing dark, you could feel a change in the atmosphere and suddenly it was as though God had manifested his presense on Bethel's campus. It was like in the movie, the ten commandments when the angel of death moves over Egypt as the 1oth plague, except, it was God. His presense falling and resting on the campus, penetrating the air, weaving into the very fabric of our lives... God is here. He's doing something right now. Sonia and I were sitting outside talking about it and we feel like something is happening, something is about to happen- A dry and barren land will receive rain again, and something is happening tonight. Im not claiming that when we wake up in the morning and go to chapel that there is going to be a super revival or anything.... ooh....that would be cool. but anyway, I'm not claiming that. I'm just claiming that somethingn is happening, and I am here in the midst of it not knowing what's going to happen, but praying that God sends the rain. I couldn't help but think of this song:
Rain Down by Delarious
Looks like tonight, the sky is heavy
feels like the winds, are gonna change
Beneath my feet, the Earth is ready
I know it's time, for heavens rain.
It's gonna rain,
yeah yeah
Cause living water we desire,
to flood our hearts with holy fire
Rain down, all around the world we're singing
Rain down, can you hear the Earth is singing
Rain down, my heart is dry but still i'm singing
Rain down, rain it down on me.
Back to the start, my heart is heavy
Feels like it's time, to dream again
I see the clouds, and yes i'm ready
To dance upon, this barren land
Hope in my hands, yeah yeah
Cause living water we desire,
to flood our hearts with holy fire
Rain down, all around the world we're singing
Rain down, can you hear the Earth is singing
Rain down, my heart is dry but still i'm singing
Rain down, rain it down
Do not shut, do not shut,
do not shut, the heavens
But open up, open up, open up, our hearts
Rain down, all around the world we're singing
Rain down
(Rain down)
Give me strength to cross this water,
keep my heart upon your altar, rain down
(Rain down)
Give me strength to cross this water
keep my feet, don't let me falter,
rain down(Hey,'ey,'ey)
Do not shut the heavens
But open up our hearts, open up our hearts,
Do not shut the heavens
But open up our hearts,
open up my heart
