My dear friends, Les and Pilar Norman, of DCI Prayer room, writes today:
"Some 46 years ago, a man from Sri Lanka with the tongue-twisting name of Colton Wickramaratne looked me in the eye and, with a prophetic flourish, said: “Go there.”
Today, I am reminded to say those same two anointed words to you.
The story is that after Elijah had upset wicked King Ahab, the Lord told him to get away and hide by the Brook Cherith. The Lord said He had commanded ravens to feed Elijah “there.”
Later on, the brook dried up. Elijah became thirsty—all because a certain prophet had stopped the rain and was now suffering because of his own prayers. The Lord then instructed Elijah to go to Zarephath, because He had arranged for a widow to provide for him “there.” And so it was; in fact, until the end of that harsh famine and drought, the supply of flour and oil never failed for the lady, her son, or Elijah.
You see, for you and for all of us, there is a supernaturally appointed place of obedience and provision called “There.” It is for us to discern where it is, to obey the whispers of the Holy Spirit, and go “there”—as unlikely as that place may seem.
Camping “there” alone by a brook, instead of holding big prophetic meetings.
Going “there” to a vulnerable widow, instead of a rich man with a storehouse.
But “there” is where God’s provision was waiting for Elijah, and it is where it is waiting for you. “There”—as hidden, disguised, or far-fetched as it may seem—is where you will find that whatever you need spiritually, emotionally, or materially has already been provided. Your “there” might be across the street or across the world; it might be by a quiet brook or in an unthinkable person.
Whatever it is—just go there, and go now.
How many times in these 46 years has the Lord taken us “there,” even when we didn't know where we were going? Now, for the next generation, He will be just as faithful. For God’s work, done in God’s ways, will never lack God’s supplies.
Come, Holy Spirit, and confirm this word with signs and wonders following.
See you there!"
Les & Pilar.
I remember that day too!
