I was listening to a sermon by one of my favorite preachers Damon Thompson and one of his verses really messed me up!!
2 Chronicles 7:13-15
13 "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

I believe that right now in America we are at a time where there is no rain, I firmly believe that right now God has "Shut the Heavens"
and God is looking for his Bride to "Humble themselves and fast and Pray"
Last night I was in a "Midnight Hour" time of intercession and My hearts cry was
"Yahweh come be Yahweh and Heal Our Land"
And God responded to me by saying "Humble Yourselves and Pray"
Another thing in Damon's Sermon that caught my attention was in Mark Chapter 4

Mark 4:5-6
5Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
The part of this passage that I am gonna focus on is v. 6
the word "Roots" here is a very bad translation of the Greek
the Greek word here is "rhiza" which means "Origin, Lineage,"
Damon talked about how many times the seed does not take root because the person had on "Roots"
They aren't apart of a Family they haven't got inside of the body of christ and gotten woven into the threads of the family of christ
So many times people come into our churches and get saved but they don't have any Roots
we don't reach out to them and invite them into our "Family"
We don't say you can build some roots here
we don't welcome them into our family so oftten times they die out because they had no "Rhiza"
So I encourage you in this time in America where it seems like the heavens have been shut let's "Humble ourselves and Pray" that Yahweh will come and Heal our Land
I also encourage you to make sure that not ONE person comes into your church and gets saved without you bringing them into your family. Giving them "Rhiza"!!
