God Is Watering the Cracks

During every church service, I journal my notes, writing things down as Habakkuk 2:2 instructs. At the end of each year, I review my starred entries—those moments that spoke to me deeply at the time. When I revisit them months later, many are confirmed in my spirit.

At the beginning of the year, my pastor said, “I’m praying that we would not be afraid to pray powerful prayers, believing God can bring healing in every way to people’s lives and bodies, and that miraculous signs and wonders would bring glory and people to Jesus.” Just imagine the fruit of prayers like that, WOOOOO!

Now jump to the end of the year. An associate pastor shared a vision: he saw a farmer’s field with a large crack forming down the middle. On both sides, things began to die. Then Jesus appeared, pulling a wheeled irrigation system and watering the crack until the ground began to heal and grow again.

I see the connection.

The first is a prayer declaration.

The second is a prophetic picture of that prayer being answered.

John 7:38 (NIV) says, “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

Revelation 22:1 describes the river as the Water of Life flowing from the throne of God, symbolizing eternal life and healing.

At the end of the year, the vision shows:

• A crack (division, dryness, damage, spiritual decline).

• Things dying on both sides (the consequences of that brokenness).

• Jesus personally intervening with Living Water.

• The ground, healing and growing again (restoration and fruit).

The connection is this:

Bold prayers bring God’s healing. The vision shows God restoring the very places those prayers were asking Him to heal!

This year brought many changes for me and for my church, yet we persevered. We are encouraged to remain bold in every situation, continuing to pray powerful prayers and believing God is more than able to bring things to pass as we do our part to bring people to Jesus.

When we receive healing, blessing, breakthrough, or favor, it is not meant to stop with us. What the Lord does in you, He desires to do through you. We receive with an anointing to bring life to others.

Isaiah 43:19 (NIV) says, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

I perceive it, do you?

God is watering. Are we settling for a mist, or are we stepping beneath His waterfall, letting it soak every part of us?

If we choose the overflow, don’t walk away damp; come out drenched. Let it run into the cracks around us and bring life wherever it flows.
