21 Days of Fasting and Prayer - Here as in HeavenEsimerkki

Heaven Come

Over these past 21 days of prayer and fasting, we have set aside our comfort to seek something more valuable. It is impossible to spend time calling on God, asking Him to bring Heaven down, and there be no change because God is faithful, and His Word promises that He responds to the prayers of His people.

Throughout these past few weeks, God has shown up and moved extraordinarily. People have been saved, set free, and miraculously healed. There’s so much to celebrate, but the exciting reality is that this is only the beginning. There is still more that God wants to do!

In Ezekiel 47, we see an interesting story. The prophet Ezekiel has a vision where he sees a river flowing from God’s temple. As the water flows from the temple, it grows deeper and deeper. It starts ankle-deep, then becomes knee-deep, then continues to deepen until it is uncrossable. On either side of the river are many trees and swarms of fish in the water. The most extraordinary part is that at the place where the river reaches the Dead Sea, the salt water becomes fresh water. Once dead and unlivable, the place was changed to be fresh and full of life.

This story is a beautiful illustration of what we can expect in the days ahead. This season of prayer and fasting has been incredible and full of life, but the water is only ankle-deep. We have seen only the beginning of God’s work, not the end. There are more miracles God wants to do. There are more people God wants to save. As we have fasted and prayed, we can have confidence that Heaven is coming and our best days are still ahead!
