KEEP FILLING UP THE CLOUDS
If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth... (Ecclesiastes 11:3).
There’s something you need to understand about prayer and how certain types of prayers work. Some prayers must be accumulated before they start producing results. They must be built up. The Bible says, “If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth....”
You don’t just pray and then leave off for two or three days before you pray again. No! Every day, you heap prayer upon prayer. Every day, you add some more. And then, you add some more, and some more, until you reach the climax where the results burst forth like a gusher, blowing the lid open.
That’s when things start happening; it’s like a harvest of prayers. That harvest can continue for a long time. However, that doesn’t mean you stop praying during that time. No. There are always other things to pray about. This kind of prayer is deeply spiritual and involves much praying in the spirit. Every day, you’re filling up the cloud.
Sometimes, the Spirit of God can lead you to fast for a certain number of days because He wants you to keep filling up your cloud. It’s not so much about staying away from food; that’s not what He’s getting at. Rather, it’s about focusing your attention on the Spirit and having the kind of meditation and prayer that conditions your spirit for the work He wants to do in you, for you or through you.
So, learn to persevere in prayer as the Bible says: “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Keep storing up deposits of prayers in your prayer-cloud, and as the Word declares, “If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.”
CONFESSION: As I pray consistently in the spirit, I’m filling up the clouds in anticipation of a harvest of answers to my prayers. My spirit is conditioned to know and walk in God’s perfect will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
