Prophetic Dream - Challenges and Rain in 2020

In November I had a second vivid dream, this dream I shared at a prayer meeting in my local church on a Sunday evening. That night two other people gave words that both contained pictures of ‘God’s Rain’. Initially, I wasn’t going share this dream at that meeting, but prompted by the Holy Spirit I did, this is that dream : -

I dreamed I was standing on top of a building, at a party with some of my friends. The sky was blue with just a few clouds bubbling up.  As the party was progressing, I noticed a stream of smoke rising from an adjacent building, this smoke started out as a small trickle but started to grow blacker and started to spread. The Fire Brigade arrived and began to put out the fire, but to not avail. Nothing could stop the fire and the black smoke grew thicker and deeper.  The sky started to blacken with the smoke and the smoke turned the daylight into darkness. Slowly the smoke started to drift towards me and my friends. As this mass of darkness came closer, my heart was filled with dread and terror of the impending doom started to fill me. My friends started to scream, and, in the panic, they ran away and left me. After a while I was standing along, watching the cloud of black smoke, I stood there waiting to be engulfed in the darkness and terror of the black cloud. The black cloud now filled the sky and slowly it came over my head. I closed my eyes, and I expected the doom. I waited and then I felt drops of pure crystal water touch my face and trickle down my cheeks. The pure raindrops became more intense. I opened my eyes and the crystal rain filled the air and sky. The black doom was dispersing, and the crystal rain had taken its place. The rain poured down on me and drenched me. The rain filled me with joy and covered me in refreshing life. I looked around and I was the only person experiencing this rain, all my friends had run away.

I felt God say – "For some believers there will be unexpected challenges from the world in 2020 that will be unleashed from the world to cause dread and panic in believers.  For some believers there will be a distraction of circumstances and situations unleashed to take away your attention from God’s promises to focus on the things of the world. These unexpected  challenges will take the form of every type of distraction. God said, that the first report is not the last report. Don’t let dread and panic fill your heart. Stand Firm. For the rain is coming. You may see and feel dread, but this is not the truth, the truth is that you have been given the joy of Christ. Stand and experience the life of the Holy Spirit in you.  God is working IN YOU, to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think. The World’s cloud is full of dread, but God’s promise is established in Christ. Christ will never leave you or forsake you.  You are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The rain of God is more powerful and disperses the clouds of the world’s dread. God is faithful, he is working in you, listen to his voice and reject the world’s diagnosis. There may be bad reports, but the first report is Not the last report. God will not let you down, you are his beloved and you are a royal child and you are seated in heavenly places in Christ."

It is my prayer that this word helps you, strengthens you and causes you to have greater hope for the future! I believe for some believers there will be greater challenges and situations that arise for believers, but our future is bright and full of Light! What is this light? It is the Light of His glory and truth as manifested in Christ Jesus the Son. He indeed is the Way, the Truth and the Life and He gives Light to the whole world. It is in His Light that we see Light (Psalm 36:9). May the Lord open the eyes of our understanding and flood our hearts with revelatory light and truth that we may know the hope of His calling and the glory of His inheritance in the saints. (Eph 1:18)

The bible makes it clear that we “prophesy in part and we know in part” (1 Cor 13:9). It is my hope that I can share a glimpse of what the Lord is doing in 2020. I encourage you to seek the Lord for yourself and see what He might say to you for 2020.
