It’s now 12 months since I woke up in the middle of the night with the Lord saying to me “You must contend for the rain.”

You can read my previous posts about this journey here, here, here, here, here, and here.

I have discovered in my praying and thinking about this issue that the rain referred to is both natural rain and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that is so powerful and pervasive that people receive salvation and miracles easily.

Another dry winter and spring has brought me again to the place of praying more passionately for the rain.

Finally, last night the rain came. We had 19mm overnight, and after thinking it had cleared away, it is raining again this morning. I was interested to see that at the various weather stations in and around Narrabri the registration was around 4 mm, except for Jacks Creek where they received over 40 mm . Just 1 km from here made all the difference.

I’m not claiming any responsibility for the Mooloobar St monsoon, just noticing a strong link.

I’m still praying, still contending. “Send more, Lord.”
