IT'S RAINING! IT'S POURING! THE REVIVAL WELLS ARE BURSTING!

In January of this year, God began to burden my heart to pray for revival in my state of Rhode Island and my region of the Northeast. God particularly highlighted to me the Hebrides Revival which took place in Scotland’s Hebrides’ Islands around the year of 1949; a revival that is known for repentance. One of the initiatives God gave to me was to start a weekly prayer call to be prayed from midnight to 1:00 AM, which He termed “Midnight Oil.” The goal of this prayer call is simply to pray for revival in the Northeast. Amongst other things, we regularly pray over a map of New England and New York, regional gatherings of the united Body of Christ, and leaders in the region and their families.  

On February 6th I was sitting in the waiting area of my auto shop when an image popped up on the television screen of a vehicle being forced into the air by water that was shooting up from a water main break. I took a picture of the TV screen because I felt what I was seeing was prophetic for what God was going to do in my state and region. This image of water bursting with force I was going to see in my own home in the natural realm!

One day my husband went into our basement to find a horizontal geyser shooting gallons of water! The culprit: a busted well! I had been praying for months that God uncap and unstop the old revival wells in my state and region and then this happened! No, I did not stop praying for God to cause the old revival wells to shoot forth with His pure, clean, living water into our hearts and onto our land. God didn’t tell me to stop.

As I prepared to attend Turn. Seek. Go. in Manchester, NH on September 5th, I prayed that God would send His rain. I prayed that God would not send the rain in the natural realm, only in the spiritual realm, as this regional gathering for Gen Z was to take place on a field. Most of that day I spent under the roof that hung over bleachers, but it so happened that the sky suddenly opened up and released a downpour just when I was called to the field to do altar ministry. I got drenched! Not funny God.

One week later, after finally getting dried out, I attended The Body United in Boston, MA on September 12th. Toward the end of the 2-day conference, after reading together the words from Joel 2:28, “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions,” the speaker called everyone to the altar and asked us to cry out to God to pour out His Spirit. God answered by filling the house of the Lord with His glory (see Ezekiel 44:4).

The following morning when I got into my car to drive home from Boston, the sky opened up once again and it downpoured on my entire trip home to Rhode Island. My town received close to 5 inches of rain that day causing my basement to flood once again even though our home is located on a hill!

I have been praying for New England and New York this year as God led me to do. After several months I learned of Mario Murillo being sent by God to have gatherings in Albany, NY because it is close to I90, a highway that passes through towns where the late Charles Finney conducted tent revivals. Mario just came for the 3rd time this year and only days ago he completed a 4-day 5,000-seat tent crusade which led to hundreds of salvations and dozens of miraculous healings. In the midst of the crusade God told him to come back again in November of this year. Mario shared that since God told him this he hasn’t been able to sleep because his heart is filled with so much excitement. God is moving in the Northeast!

It is exactly 1 week since The Body United and I am preparing to join in the global prayer initiative entitled “10 Days of Prayer” at a house of prayer in my state, and yes, I plan on crying out to God to send more of His rain! And I will do it again during this week’s national prayer initiative entitled “Come to the Table,” where all 50 states will be gathering in-person simultaneously for 50 hours of non-stop worship and prayer on September 24th through the 26th.

​All this is to say… What is happening in the natural realm is prophetic for what is happening in the spiritual realm. My response: I sing, “Let it rain!” I cry, “More Lord!” I pray, “Let the living waters burst forth from our bellies!”
