Jennifer Eivaz: "The DROUGHT IS OVER! A Prophetic Word for California and How it Will Affect the Nation"

"The DROUGHT IS OVER!
A Prophetic Word for California
and How it Will Affect the Nation"
The Elijah List

Word of the Lord: "The Drought is Over"
I was enjoying the cool beach air and the light rain in Carmel, California last week, as I took some personal time to think about and work on some writing assignments. The atmosphere was spiritually open and I sensed the prophetic anointing the moment I arrived. I normally encounter moderate to severe spiritual problems in each city I travel to, requiring a day or two of focused prayer just to find my balance. This time it was different and I was just grateful to have the peace of God on the very first day.
As I was walking towards the beach, the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to my heart. He said, "The drought is over." I didn't react, but continued to listen. He repeated it again saying, "The drought is over and the rains are coming back to California."
California has been in a physical drought for three or four years officially and has been rationing water. I live in the farm belt of California and water is critical to our economy. I've had prophetic words connected to the appearance of rain in the past, but this time it felt like a much stronger word.
Elijah and Intercessory Prayer
I suddenly connected the analogy of Elijah on Mt. Carmel in I Kings 18 and my personal trip to Carmel, California. The opening verse of this chapter is a specific instruction to Elijah from the Lord to "present yourself to Ahab and I will send rain on the earth." They too were in their third year of drought and without a word from the Lord, it was not going to change. It was also the set-up for that famous showdown between the prophets of Baal, Jezebel, and the prophet Elijah.
I believe this was a God-ordained coincidence as I've had my own dealings with the spirit of Jezebel in California. I keep prophetic watch for the state and intercede deeply for it. This prophetic watch began with a vision about eight years ago that would play repeatedly inside my imagination. I kept seeing a scene of a mother bear fighting for her cubs. It reminded me of the bear on the California state flag, but I didn't connect it until a visiting minister from England came to speak at our church. She had shared a prophetic word about the coming glory revival for the state of California.
When she shared the word, a prophetic burden came on me from the Lord and I began to fight in prayer for the children of California like a mother who had lost her "cubs." (Photo via Wikipedia)
Soon after, I also had a visitation from an angel with instructions on how to intercede for the state. I can't give all the details here, but one of the instructions was to: ask the Lord for the anointing of Elijah to come upon the state to 1) reconcile families and 2) to destroy Jezebel (Mal. 4:5-6).
As my intercessory teams and I obeyed the Lord to pray, we experienced very complex spiritual warfare that told us to never be complacent about the sick and violent assignments against children. The Jezebel spirit hates and destroys children and we were to pray always. We've continued our intercession for California and have not given the Lord rest on this matter (Is. 62:7).
Prophetic Dream: Storms of Glory Coming to the Church
At the end of my week in Carmel, the Lord gave me a prophetic dream. I was in a two-story educational facility in the middle of a well-watered, lush valley and hillside. The facility didn't belong to me, but in the dream I held authority to provide counsel within this building. I only saw one room on the top floor, but it needed some attention! It was dusty and the furniture was all out of place.
I looked out the window and watched a white tornado hit a home about 1/3rd of a mile away. It flattened the garage and then went through the interior and gutted the inside. I also knew there were 30 tornadoes coming towards this educational facility very soon. The facility leader was a pretty red-haired woman who had a small company of followers with her. I warned her in the dream about the coming white tornadoes.
The timing of this dream concerned me at first. Understand that I had heard a specific prophetic word about rain and then I had a specific dream about the coming tornadoes! The very next day after this dream, and as many of you have read, there were dangerous rain downpours in the mid-west with tornadoes touching down in different places as well. In all sensitivity, I don't think my word and dream were about the mid-west situation, although it can appear that way on the surface. I have too much intercessory history with California and it resonated with me to be more about the West Coast with promising implications for the rest of the United States. I wanted to make that clear and to remain sensitive to the serious weather mayhem that occurred with all prayerfulness.
With that being said, what is God saying? First of all, to California He is saying: there are storms, actually movements, of white glory coming to the Church. This is good news. It's a deep glory, it's full of His holiness, and has movement on it. Ultimately, this is about the salvation of souls and advancing the Kingdom of God in ways we couldn't make happen on our own.
This glory "movement" will first challenge anything out of order by removing it or cleaning it out. If you are a pastor, you will most likely experience your church being sifted. People who aren't with you will be moved out. You need them to go so you can move forward. Set your heart to not stay in grief, to not be bitter, but to praise Him because it needed to happen. (Photo via Wikipedia)
For others, this will challenge your friendships for the same reason. Your friendships and relationships will be reordered so you can run with those who are willing to run.
We are also going to learn on a whole new level that just being sincere is not enough. Sincerity must also host the Presence of God to be effective. We will have to be in step with what God is doing and really learn how to carry the Glory of God in a way that "moves." It will be a new thing for many of us. Glory!
For the rest of the nation, here is what I believe God is doing in connection with this white glory – this "movement" coming to California. Former San Francisco Mayor, Gavin Newsom, once said, "What happens in California will happen everywhere" (my paraphrase). I'm not in agreement with most of the former mayor's stances, but many of us heard the prophetic word in his statements. (The Holy Spirit does prophesy through unbelievers on occasion: John 11:49-51.)
When I was attending college in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I began to notice a weather pattern. When it rained in California, that storm would many times show up three or four days later in Oklahoma. It would pick up force along the way, however, and be much stronger once it came to the mid-west. I believe this is a prophetic illustration for us.
This glory movement coming to California will travel through the United States and pick up force along the way as it travels into different states.
California is a "Revivalist" State
California is a historical "well" for revivalists and revival movements. God blesses each state with its own glory and we recognize California as a consistent carrier of revival. I'm not saying that powerful moves of God will never start anywhere else. Of course they will! Either way, we can always count on California to bring forth a move of God and she's going to birth another.
When Elijah heard from the Lord about the rain, he didn't sit there. He went into a cave and actively prayed for the rain to come. With that said, I actively make the decree to California, "Your drought is over. The rains are coming!"
Go ahead and receive this for yourself and receive it for the Body of Christ. When the physical rains come, recognize it as a blessing. The Lord spoke to me a few years ago out of Deut. 28:12 and said, "When you see the rain, know that I am blessing all the works of your hands." With that said, we bless the rain. We don't curse it, complain against it, or accept the attitude that it inconveniences us. We bless the rain! (Photo via Pixabay)
Finally, how do we prepare ourselves for these "white glory" movements coming to our lives and to our churches? I haven't experienced this before in the way I see it coming, and honestly feel inadequate to instruct for it. I do know the Word, however. It says, "The Lord God is a sun and shield, He gives grace and glory..." (Ps. 84:11).
I believe that God shines His light on what needs to be seen and He then shields your heart as you see it. This helps us to see what needs to be set in order in our lives with joy and not condemnation. He also gives grace at the same time He's giving glory. He's not bringing a glory movement to California and then to the nation so we can fail at it. There will be His grace to match His glory.

Jennifer Eivaz: "The DROUGHT IS OVER! A Prophetic Word for California and How it Will Affect the Nation"
From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
Jennifer Eivaz lives in California and she and her husband Ron pastor a vibrant church in Turlock, CA.
When the Lord gave Jennifer this assignment years ago – to carry the state of California in prayer, she was obedient to the call. I'm sure it must be gratifying to now be able to declare prophetically that the drought is over. It is also an act of GREAT FAITH because the drought appears anything but "over."
When I receive words like this from credible prophetic and intercessory voices, I LOVE IT! Because now I get to agree in prayer and I get to watch it come to pass. I hope you'll be as excited with this word as I am. Here's how you should respond...
Agree in prayer, reminding God of this promise and telling Him you are partnering with this prophetic word to both declare and yes, DECREE that the drought is over. Just keep doing that until the clouds begin to burst with rain!
I was raised in California, met my wife in California, was married there, and our first two children were born there. MY HEART is WITH CALIFORNIA and I am partnering with this word that, "THE DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA IS OVER." I plan to agree with and decree this word and I hope you'll do the same.
Enjoy!

Much-Needed Winter Rains Douse Israel
Much-Needed Winter Rains Douse Israel
Wednesday, November 26, 2014
JERUSALEM, Israel -- Heavy winter rains following an interim day of sunshine swept across the country, raising the water level at the Sea of Galilee nearly 1.5 inches and causing flooding in some areas.
The much-needed rainfall is expected to continue through Thursday, with cooler and drier weather predicted for Friday.
Israel's rainy season usually begins around Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), when many Jews begin praying for abundant winter rains, and tapers off in early spring. That leaves a very long stretch of dry, arid weather when Mekorot, Israel's national water company, asks people to use water prudently in their daily lives.
The rainy season replenishes the Sea of Galilee, the nation's sole sweet water source, and the coastal aquifers. Melting snow from Mt. Hermon in the Golan Heights also helps raise the water level at the Sea of Galilee.

Who has Seen the Rain? by Lee Johndrow
Who has Seen the Rain?

Who has seen the rain?
I had just finished a motorcycle ride with my wife and we had come in to eat dinner. While dinner was finishing up, I heard those words. Great, a John Fogerty song. Creedence Clearwater Revival. I am pretty sure when I was a kid I was not even sure what a revival was or stood for. I knew it as an architecture style and little more. The original name of that band came from a "band member," Creed - a beer, Olympia, the clear water, and the member's renewed commitment to the band.
So, that seemed pretty random, but I have learned the hard way that God is not random nor does He waste time or energy. And then the vision began to unfold. There was a large river with a dirt road along side it. I saw people walking by the river. Not even cognizant that the goodness of the Lord was to be found in this river just to their left or their right depending on the direction they walked on the road.
At some point they had chosen a direction or perhaps even assumed it had been chosen for them, determined by some hidden power. But the fact of the matter was, simply this - they began where they began and chose either to head east or to head west on the road they walked on. Depending on their direction, determined the side the river was on. I watched little tufts of dust rise up as people walked. Some were happy, some smiled, while others had their heads down full of purpose. I wanted to enter their "vision" and say "LOOK AT THE RIVER!!!" (A few weeks ago I had a similar vision about treadmills…) Come on! Cool off! Be refreshed! Drink deep!"

(A few weeks ago I had a similar vision about treadmills…) Come on! Cool off! Be refreshed! Drink deep!"
Moments later it began to rain. People never changed, they never stopped and they never seemed to notice.
Knowing Rain
I was then hearing this story from the 70's.
A Russian couple was walking down the street in St. Petersburg the other night, when the man felt a drop hit his nose. "I think it's raining," he said to his wife.
"No, that felt more like snow to me," she replied. "No, I'm sure it was just rain, he said." Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about whether it was raining or snowing. Just then they saw a minor communist party official walking toward them. "Let's not fight about it," the man said, "let's ask Comrade Rudolph whether it's officially raining or snowing."
As the official approached, the man said, "Tell us, Comrade Rudolph, is it officially raining or snowing?"
"It's raining, of course," he answered and walked on. But the woman insisted: "I know that felt like snow!" To which the man quietly replied: "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"
You have to know rain, to know rain. Who has seen the rain? Those that have seen rain, know rain. Those that have seen God know God!
You will Know Them By Their Love
Back to CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival) for a moment. There is a movement that is taking shape, developing form here on the earth. It is people from the "band" that are coming together. There is no name because each person has a place, a position. (Much like in the days of Nehemiah.) They have a creed on their lips and in their heart. "Here on earth as it is in heaven." (I also think the word "here" is interchangeable with "hear" today.) The place of Olympia (Olympus was in the shadow of the gods) was a place of sanctuary. CCR saw it as a place of clear waters. (Is there not a people who are the sanctuary of God from whom living waters flow?) A renewed commitment to the "band," a revival. Folks, it…is…coming!
Who will notice? Those that have seen the rain! There is a rain falling on the land. Falling on the just and the unjust. A rain not just of the former or the latter but of the present and the future to come. Find those who have seen the rain! That is what I am hearing. Find those that have seen it, who know it. You will know them by their love. (They will not be angry, shouting, shriveled up and prune faced! They will be loving servants of the most high, setting the captives free, carriers of the bread and wine of the Lord! There will be fruit in their lives, character in their homes and love in their hearts.)
Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm.
I know, and it's been coming for sometime.
When it's over so they say, it'll rain a sunny day.
I know, shining down like water.
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day, yeah, oh yeah.
I am looking for folks who have seen rain!
The vision intensified (even now a day later, it has returned to my living room) and I could hear the rain, soft at first, then beginning to pelt. The road no longer released dust, but was now getting "sticky" with the wetness of the rain. People continued to plod, walk and run. "What is this?" I heard! And then I heard a lone little voice, "It is rain. My grandfather told me about this! He told me that I would see rain. That I would hear it, taste it and see it. I would tell him my friends said there is 'no such thing' but he would pull me to his arms and say, 'it is coming' and this is what you will see and hear. This is rain. And that river is full of rain."
I am writing and I can hear the sounds of rain in my home. There is a rain. There is freedom. There is revival!
