Rains of Revelation, Restoration, and Resurrection
3/15/04 - Through Jason Hooper - FaithFire Ministries

The Lord gave me this Word during a time of worship and intercession, but at the time did not release me to share it with anyone. Six days later, He prpa prophetic wordallowed me to share this Word with my wife and my mother-in-law for the sake of documentation. This is a Word for the Body at large, but it’s specifically for those who are now receiving a Psalm 91 invitation in their spiritual mailboxes. There won’t be a guessing, there will be an unmistakable knowing that this is for you. The Lord released me last night after work to make this Word public as I was already getting reports from those close to me of dreams of torrential downpour that seemed to cause destruction all around them yet leaving them unscathed. 

I was drawn into the Spirit and saw dark, deep purple skies, with large, blue clouds. There was much activity within these clouds and the Lord said,  “there is a storm a brewing” [in the Spirit]. Lightning and thunder cracked and boomed from the cloud and fire churned within it. Then the Lord gave me Ecclesiastes 11:3 “ If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.”  Then with a simultaneous boom of thunder, a crack of lightning, and a strong gust of wind as the Lord exhaled rains of revelation, restoration, and resurrection began to fall, pour, and gush through the streets. There are those who through their intercession and spiritual warfare have put themselves in a place to receive this rain in due season.  They are those who have been crying out in humility  (James 4:6,8,10) for the grace of God  (Genesis 6:8) in their lives seeking the spirit of wisdom and revelation and the enlightenment of their eyes as told to us by Paul in Ephesians 1:17-19, yearning for the same anointing that was so deeply rubbed into Elisha’s bones that it brought new life into what seemed to be a dead situation  (2 Kings 13:21).

It resembled the great flood of Noah’s day in the fact that there were those who had walked with God and had an advance weather report (foreknowledge, accompanying preparations and provisions through intimacy with God) and then there were those who thought that Noah was “wasting” his time waiting on God. This has been a waiting season; there is no question about it. It has been a time of escaping and separating from the Martha syndrome and coming into the Mary anointing  (Luke 10:38-42). One key thing we must keep in our heart in regards to Noah at this time of his life is found in Genesis 6:22 “Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.” It is a time where we must be meticulous in regards to the things that God is speaking to us. The Lord told me that this is a time of “key details”; things that before would have seemed relatively unimportant and trivial are now key steps that will bring us into a greater measure of His anointing on our “exact” obedience. This falls under the category of “only doing the things that I see My Father do.”  (John 5:19,30)

In this very hour, God is speaking to us just as He did with Noah in Genesis 7:1, “ Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous (Ephesians 2:8-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21) before Me in this generation.” The Bridegroom is wooing His Bride into a place of intimacy, union, and holy consummation.

As the clouds boomed with activity I could hear the voices of the witnesses  (Hebrews 12:1) decreeing the coming shift in the spiritual climate and atmosphere that we have known up until now, each bolt of lightning seemed to rip through the sky like a steak knife through rice paper, and the echo of thunderous voices caused the earth to actually quake into alignment and proper placement. Instead of being overtaken by the heavy rains and floods, the water actually caused us to rise above our present situations to a higher place. We began to ride these living rains of revelation, restoration, and resurrection in the direction that they were flowing. It was like the waters flowed in an upward current that spiraled around large mountain. Yes, many of you in an instant will be taken from the valley to the mountaintop. This is the time where you will see those things that have been senseless stumbling blocks of adversity in your life become strategic stepping-stones of triumph elevating you to a victorious vantage point in Him.  Remember, when in water, the key to floating is being still!

Revelations 3:22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.” “Make yourself an ark”(Genesis 6:14) and on the side of the ark is Psalm 91 “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.’ Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you. Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him My salvation.” The Lord showed me that those with a heart of Psalm 27:4-8 “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; he shall set me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above all my enemies all around me; therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When You said, ‘Seek My face,’ my heart said, ‘Your face, Lord, I will seek.” would actually be given a burning desire for Psalm 91 in their spirit and that this would be the confirmation of their involvement in this Holy Storm.

There was an overall difference between this flood and the Genesis flood. This flood brought life, it brought hope, and it brought supernatural endowments from heaven. There was not just a returning to life, but also a return to purity of heart and purpose. I saw many of us in what I believed to be the Garden of Eden. This speaks of the return of absolute intimacy and union with the Father and an abandonment of self-focus. Our eyes were so fixed on Him, it didn’t matter what we maybe lacking in the natural, just being in His presence was and always would be more than enough for us.

To further confirm this Word my wife, Tina, who is also very prophetic said to me as I was completing the recording of this Word that God had given her Job 5:8-11 and that she felt she was supposed to share it with me. “But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause—Who does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number. He gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields. He sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.” The Lord is continuing to give me Joshua 3:3-5 “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place to go out   from your place and go after it. Yet there shall be a space between you and I, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before. And Joshua said to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”

This is a red-letter day for believers! Just as the Words of Christ were referenced in red, we as His children are being highlighted for service. We are God’s oracles and just as this world is hungry to hear from a real God, God is hungry for His people and soon-to-be people to take the time to hear from Him. On a side note, let me present to you some key things to meditate on in your spirit. He is the Head and we are the hands and feet. We are the ones that He uses to touch His people as we respond to Him in bold obedience.  John 21:25b says, “… I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books (that would contain all the works of Jesus during His ministry on earth) that would be written.” Revelation 19:10b says, “Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” So as you act on true prophetic unction you actually are becoming a willing vessel for God to unfold the untold testimonies of Jesus in and through your life!
