WHY NO RAIN
WHY NO RAIN
THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:
“FOR HE MAKETH HIS SUN TO RISE ON THE EVIL AND ON THE GOOD, AND SENDETH RAIN ON THE JUST AND ON THE UNJUST.”
I am absolutely fed up, (as is Jesus, Rev. 3/16, Math. 17/17, Luke 9/41,) with the apathetic indifference demonstrated every day by so called church leadership toward weaknesses, SIN, that is evident in congregations, “those who name the name of Christ,” all over this country; especially Pentecostals, especially with those who won`t “come out from among them,” especially with those who can see, acknowledge the truth that Loving Father`s servants are heralding, and still remain in the religious abominations of AOG, COC, CLC, RHEMA, LIVING WATERS, HARVEST, ABUNDANT LIFE ETC., AS THESE INSTITUTIONALISED ABOMINATIONS ARE FAST FILLING UP WITH APOSTATES AND APOSTACY: (if you don`t separate yourselves from them, pretty soon, you too will start to smell like a decaying rotting corpse: “a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump:”)
In the midst of the worst drought in our history, we have people looking to councils, government leaders, weather seers and the like, for answers to get water, BUT THEY WON`T REPENT AND TURN TO THE ONE WHO BRINGS THE RAINS.
I wonder why this is? Could it be that church leadership is to gutless and man pleasing to “preach the truth in love,” and trumpet out loud that God will not tolerate sin, especially in the church: Acts 5/1-11.
Could it be that church leadership has not got the starch to preach, “the wages of sin is death:”
Could it be that church leadership has not got the fortitude to preach, “God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that shall he reap:”
Could it be that church leadership has not got the courage to preach, “The fear of the Lord,” to see the RESTORATION OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD FIRST TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CONGREGATIONS, THEN TO THE WIDER COMMUNITY AT LARGE:
“THAT HIS FEAR MAY BE BEFORE YOUR FACES, THAT YE SIN NOT:” EX 20/20. THE BOTTOM LINE IS EXACTLY THIS, “FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN.” ECC. 12/13.
We see a spiritual condition right across this nation in churches where people have become as Ahab, “AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS IF IT HAD BEEN A LIGHT THING FOR HIM TO WALK IN THE SINS OF JEROBOAM THE SON NEBAT,” 1 KINGS 16/31, BECAUSE “THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES:” AND THIS BECAUSE RESPECTIVE CHURCH LEADERSHIP HAS TAUGHT, PREACHED FEAR OUT OF PEOPLES LIVES, REPLACING IT WITH AN UNBALANCED, (PERVERSE) DOCTRINE OF, “YOU`RE UNDER GRACE, NOT THE LAW, DON`T WORRY ABOUT YOUR……SIN……GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF IT:” WHAT A LIE!…..WE ARE TOLD TO TAKE CARE OF IT, WE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE TO………REPENT…….TURN AWAY FROM:………………………………………………………………………….
IF THERE IS NO “FEAR OF GOD,” PIETY, REVERENCE DEMONSTRATED IN PULPITS AND CONGREGATIONS AROUND THIS COUNTRY,………….
THEN THE WIDER POPULACE WILL HAVE NO FEAR OF GOD, WHICH IS EVIDENT IN THE GAMBLING, HOMOSEXUALITY, FORNICATION, ADULTERY, ALCOHOLISM, CHILD ABUSE, INCEST, RAPE, LUST FOR MONEY, SEX, THEFT, LYING, CHEATING, ANGER, PRIDE, REBELLION, CRIME ETC, THAT FOLK IN THIS LAND EXECUTE WITH “THE FOREHEAD OF A WHORE,”…..NO SHAME OR REMORSE WHATSOEVER FOR THE RAMPANT SIN IN THEIR LIVES, MIRRORING THE SPIRITUAL HARLOT CONDITION OF CHURCHES ALL OVER THIS LAND: (haven`t you noticed how the young have no piety, respect, reverence toward their elders, especially those in authority?) THEY ARE JUST REFLECTING THE ATTITUDE OF CHURCH LEADERSHIP AND CONGREGATIONS RIGHT ACROSS THIS LAND TO LOVING FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST:….. “REMEMBER, GOD IS NOT MOCKED:” AND DON`T TELL ME THAT THE MOSH PIT RUBBISH CALLED WORSHIP THAT`S EVIDENT WITH HILLSONG, CHRISTIAN CITY CHURCHES AND THE LIKE IS EVIDENCE OF PEOPLES` LOVE FOR THE LORD, (“THIS PEOPLE DRAWETH NIGH UNTO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH, AND HONOURETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS; BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME.” MATH. 15/8, MK. 7/6.) WHICH YOU ALL LIKE TO IMITATE AND COPY. JESUS SAYS, “IF YOU LOVE ME,… KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS:” JOHN 14/15.
COULD IT BE THAT CHURCH LEADERSHIP DO NOT LOVE THEIR CONGREGATIONS, AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY ENOUGH TO WARN THEM, THAT IF THEY DON`T REPENT, AND CONTINUE IN SIN, THEN SEVERE CONSEQUENCES WILL FOLLOW:
COULD IT BE THAT CHURCH LEADERSHIP DOES NOT LOVE THE CHRIST ENOUGH TO PREACH, “REPENT, AND BE BAPTISED, FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND;” “MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT:”
I see a small minority of church leadership saying, “pray for rain:” well that`s a start, BUT IT GOES DEEPER, SIN IS THE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, IN LEADERSHIP FIRST, THEN THE PEOPLE:
THE MAJORITY OF FOLK IN THIS COUNTRY ARE ABHORRED AT THE THOUGHT OF DRINKING RECYCLED EFFLUENT, AND SO THEY SHOULD BE WHEN THERE IS WATER TO BE PROVIDED BY THE LORD OF HOSTS THAT HAS BEEN PURIFIED BY HIS SYSTEM IN NATURE:
“BUT IT IS HAPPENED UNTO THEM ACCORDING TO THE TRUE PROVERB, THE DOG IS TURNED TO HIS OWN VOMIT AGAIN; AND THE SOW THAT WAS WASHED TO HER WALLOWING IN THE MIRE.” 2 PET. 2/22.
IF THOSE THAT NAME THE NAME OF CHRIST DO NOT REPENT AND TURN FROM THEIR OWN VOMIT, THEN IT IS THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OF LOVING FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST TO GIVE US OUR OWN PISS TO DRINK, DEMONSTRATING TO US HOW ABHORRENT IT IS TO HIM TO SEE US EATING OUR OWN VOMIT AGAIN SPIRITUALLY:
As long as I can remember, this country has suffered drought, DON`T YOU THINK IT`S TIME WE WISED UP, IT`S LOVING FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST THAT WITHHOLDS THE RAINS, TO GET US TO REPENT AND TURN TO HIM, MEN HAVE NO ANSWERS, GOVERNMENTS HAVE NO ANSWERS, THEY COULD BUILD 50, 100 NEW, LARGER DAMS, BUT THE FACT REMAINS, IF THE LORD DOESN`T CHOOSE TO FILL THEM,…..THEY WON`T BY FILLED, THEY WILL JUST BE UGLY GREAT HOLES IN THE GROUND:
DO YOU LOVE THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY ENOUGH TO START PREACHING AGAINST SIN,………VEHEMENTLY?……………………………..
DO YOU LOVE THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY ENOUGH TO TELL, SHOUT IT TO THEM, THAT IF THEY DON`T REPENT, THEY WON`T ONLY WIND UP DRINKING THEIR OWN PISS, BUT THEY WILL PERISH IN THE “LAKE THAT BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE?”
DO YOU LOVE THE FOLK IN YOUR CONGREGATION ENOUGH TO TELL THEM TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER?
DO YOU LOVE LOVING FATHER SON AND HOLY GHOST ENOUGH TO PROCLAIM THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION, NO MATTER WHAT IT`S GOING TO COST YOU, FAMILY, FRIENDS, PEOPLE IN YOUR CHURCH, SUPPORT, MONEY, RECOGNITION, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, ACCEPTANCE, ETC.?
AND DON`T TELL ME THAT AS A PASTOR YOU HAVE TO HAVE UNDERSTANDING AS TO WHY PEOPLE BEHAVE, (COMMIT SIN,) THE WAY THAT THEY DO: SINNER/SAINTS THRIVE AT THE ALTAR, IN CHURCH, ON THE MILK SOP, MAMBI PAMBI, WEAK, MAN PLEASING OVER INDULGENT UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR BEHAVIOUR/SIN, THAT LEADERSHIP IS SO READY TO DISPENSE INTO THEIR LIVES, BEING FOOLED INTO THINKING THAT THAT IS LOVE IN MOTION: HOW MANY OF YOU CAN WITNESS TO THE FACT OF PEOPLE IN YOUR CONGREGATIONS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS FOR WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS, AND THEY CAN`T, DON`T, WON`T PROGRESS TO LIBERTY, DON`T LIE, I`VE SEEN IT IN EVERY CHURCH I HAVE VISITED, THAT`S BECAUSE YOU PANDA TO THEM, YOU ARE AFRAID TO OFFEND THEM, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT BE REJECTED, LOSE THEM, BECAUSE YOU ARE A COMPROMISING MAN PLEASER, YOU WON`T SHAKE THEM WITH THE TRUTH: (“THEY WENT OUT FROM US, BUT THEY WERE NOT OF US: FOR IF THEY HAD BEEN OF US, THEY WOULD NO DOUBT HAVE CONTINUED WITH US: BUT THEY WENT OUT, THAT THEY MIGHT BE MADE MANIFEST THAT THEY WERE NOT ALL OF US.” 1 JOHN 2/19.)
THEY THRIVE ON IT, IT`S TIME TO “SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE,” IT`S TIME FOR A JOLT, IT`S TIME TO JERK THE REINS, IT`S TIME TO SHOCK, STUN, STUPIFY, OFFEND, IT`S TIME TO DRAW THE LINE IN THE SAND, WHO IS ON THE LORD`S SIDE?
THE HEART CRY OF THIS NATION AWAITS, WHEN I SEE PREMIERS MEETING WITH CHURCH LEADERS DISCUSSING THE WATER CRISIS OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO ELIST SPIRITUAL INTERVENTION, (of which none of these pretenders could do anyway;) WHEN I SEE AND HEAR MAYORS OF COUNTRY COMMUNITIES STAND UP AND PROCLAIM, “PRAY FOR RAIN,”
THEN I KNOW THE DESPARATION IS THERE, “THE HARVEST IS RIPE:”
DO YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO IT?
CAN YOU “QUIT YOURSELVES LIKE MEN?”
REPENT, AND DRINK OF THE “LIVING WATERS” OF THE SON OF GOD, AND THEN SEE THE RAINS COME: 1 KINGS 18/39-46.
DROUGHT
AND UNTO ADAM HE SAID, BECAUSE THOU HAST HEARKENED UNTO THE VOICE OF THY WIFE, AND HAST EATEN OF THE TREE, OF WHICH I COMMANDED THEE, SAYING, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT: CURSED IS THE GROUND FOR THY SAKE; IN SORROW SHALT THOU EAT OF IT ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE; THORNS ALSO AND THISTLES SHALL IT BRING FORTH TO THEE; AND THOU SHALT EAT THE HERB OF THE FIELD; IN THE SWEAT OF THY FACE SHALT THOU EAT BREAD, TILL THOU RETURN UNTO THE GROUND; FOR OUT OF IT WAST THOU TAKEN: FOR DUST THOU ART, AND UNTO DUST SHALT THOU RETURN. GEN. 3/17-19.
A DROUGHT IS UPON HER WATERS; AND THEY SHALL BE DRIED UP: FOR IT IS THE LAND OF GRAVEN IMAGES, AND THEY ARE MAD UPON THEIR IDOLS. JER. 50/38.
YE LOOKED FOR MUCH, AND LO, IT CAME TO LITTLE; AND WHEN YE BROUGHT IT HOME, I DID BLOW UPON IT. WHY? SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS………………………..
BECAUSE OF MINE HOUSE THAT IS WASTE,…………….AND YE RUN EVERY MAN UNTO HIS OWN HOUSE.
THEREFORE THE HEAVEN OVER YOU IS STAYED FROM DEW, AND THE EARTH IS STAYED FROM HER FRUIT. AND I CALLED FOR A DROUGHT UPON THE LAND, AND UPON THE MOUNTAINS, AND UPON THE CORN, AND UPON THE NEW WINE, AND UPON THE OIL, AND UPON THAT WHICH THE GROUND BRINGETH FORTH, AND UPON MEN, AND UPON CATTLE, AND UPON ALL THE LABOUR OF THE HANDS. HAG. 1/9-11.
Forests of fire, many blackened trees,
Miles upon miles, as the eyes do see,
Cacti more cacti, as distance rolls by,
Paddocks upon paddocks denied, but why?
Flocks of Galahs inhabiting the land,
Wings spread across the sun-scaped sand;
Their motion of flight, very clear to see,
At dusk they rest, their spirits be free:
Fields of beige blowing in the breeze,
Wide open spaces, that`s what my eyes see;
Tree lined horizons blacken the land,
Dust blowing wildly on interrupted sand:
Lifeless corpses beside the road,
Devoured by many a hungry crow;
Kangaroos, foxes, twisted and knarled,
Stripping and pecking with ravenous snarls:
Miles of cotton springing from the earth,
Canals of water stretching the parched lands girth;
Pods of fine thread on a bush of brown,
Another industry for man is found:
Grazing on the plain-lands are many golden fleece,
Curious eyes watching, as many do eat;
Brown seeded grass, so much to consume,
Dried out by the rays, abundant land we presume:
Point two, point four, point eight,
In years gone by many floods did take,
But now it`s dry, exhausted by what,
No longer bountiful, but barren the lot:
I wonder what the explorers thought,
As they came from the west, as thirst they fought,
Asking the question, “is this going to end?”
With every stride praying, for their bodies to mend:
Roads never-ending, leading to where,
The dust, the heat, shall we ever be there?
At the crossroads of our travels,
A harsh landscape,….. cruelly unravels:
SPIRITUAL DROUGHT
Are the raging fires of our life cold?
Year upon year we`re continuously told;
More tribulation as time rolls by,
Or is it Jesus whom we deny?
Many an idol inhabit our land,
Reaching out for whatever, are we seriously damned?
Our action toward Father very clearly He sees,
But do we rest at dusk, is our spirit with He?
Conflicting emotions blowing in the breeze,
Attracted by many things, is this what we see?
Sinful conditions blacken our hearts;
Blowing in the wind, are we recklessly apart?
Are we dead to sin, can this we show?
Or devoured by the enemy, a ravenous crow;
Forever continuing through many generations,
Or do we hold steadfast for our liberation;
His seed of faith, or are we cursed?
Are His springs of water, quenching our thirst?
Apples of gold in pictures of silver,
Or an optional excuse for man to bewilder;
You can graze on His plain-lands for that golden fleece,
Excitedly watching for His magnificent feast,
This gourmet feast laid out to partake,
But if He be denied, it may be too late;
A flood of His love in bygone years He took,
As the earth they stood upon, trembled and shook;
But now it`s dry exhausted by what?
Disobedience and sin, our Loving Saviour forgot;
I wonder what the angels thought,
Of those who were thirsty as the enemy was fought,
Asking the question “will their torment end?”
With every step praying for Father to mend;
A never-ending road lovingly leading to Him,
His love and acceptance for all to win,
His magnificent estate of silver and gold,
ARE YOU SURRENDERED, DO YOU FINALLY BEHOLD?
“FOR HE MAKETH HIS SUN TO RISE ON THE EVIL AND ON THE GOOD, AND SENDETH RAIN ON THE JUST AND ON THE UNJUST.” MATH. 5/45.
SO WHY NO RAIN?….IF YOU CARE TO LOOK INTO HOLY SCRIPTURE, YOU WILL FIND THAT WHEN A NATION IS FULL OF SIN,….DROUGHT IS THE OUTCOME, AND LOVING FATHER CALLS FOR IT; HAG. 1/11….AND IF WE`RE NOT CAREFUL,….FAMINE AND PESTILENCE WILL COME OUR WAY AS WELL:

“speaking the truth in love, in the spirit of meekness, earnestly contending for the faith;”
HELPING HIM PREPARE A BRIDE WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE:
HATING EVEN THE GARMENT SPOTTED BY THE FLESH:
THE DROUGHT GOES ON AND ON
“And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, that I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the Lord`s wrath be kindled against you, and He shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you. De. 11/13-17.
EVEN THE CACTI ARE DYING, OH LORD,
WHAT HAVE WE DONE, HAVE WE LOST OUR REWARD?
THE WILTING LEAVES IN THEIR DESPARATE THIRST,
WE MUST REPENT AND COME TO YOU FIRST:
THE DUST ON THE GROUND, BARELY BLADES OF GRASS,
WE KNOW NOT HOW LONG THIS DROUGHT MUST LAST;
BUT THE DROUGHT IN OUR HEARTS, HOW LONG MUST IT BE?
PLEASE FORGIVE ME FATHER, PLEASE FORGIVE ME:
“WHEN HEAVEN IS SHUT UP, AND THERE IS NO RAIN, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SINNED AGAINST THEE; IF THEY PRAY TOWARD THIS PLACE, AND CONFESS THY NAME, AND TURN FROM THEIR SIN, WHEN THOU AFFLICTEST THEM: THEN HEAR THOU IN HEAVEN, AND FORGIVE THE SIN OF THY SERVANTS, AND OF THY PEOPLE ISRAEL, THAT THOU TEACH THEM THE GOOD WAY WHEREIN THEY SHOULD WALK, AND GIVE RAIN UPON THY LAND, WHICH THOU HAST GIVEN TO THY PEOPLE FOR AN INHERITANCE.” 1 KINGS 8/35-36.
