One time when I returned from healing revival meetings in Whitehorse, Yukon; I was ministering in the Abbotsford Revival Center and in worship that morning, the Holy Spirit brought me back to a prophetic word that I had given in the Whitehorse meetings. God began to speak to me about the coming healing revival in North America. In worship that morning I was caught up in the Spirit and I saw many rain clouds individually set up over many churches and ministries across the States and Canada pouring down rain.

Rain Clouds Over Churches
One time when I returned from healing revival meetings in Whitehorse, Yukon; I was ministering in the Abbotsford Revival Center and in worship that morning, the Holy Spirit brought me back to a prophetic word that I had given in the Whitehorse meetings. God began to speak to me about the coming healing revival in North America. In worship that morning I was caught up in the Spirit and I saw many rain clouds individually set up over many churches and ministries across the States and Canada pouring down rain. The rain clouds looked like they do in the cartoons on TV where rain would be pouring down upon one person or one place. Then I saw many ministers and churches that are already flowing in this miracle healing anointing, beginning to go into different cities and towns. As they were leaving these places of ministry the cloud would remain upon that church and continue to pour down healing rain.
John 5 Pools of Water
Many places are going to receive such an outpouring of rain that pools of water are going to form like in John 5, the pool of Bethesda. Within my spirit I didn't just see one pool but I saw many pools across Canada. The literal meanings of Bethesda are, the house of outpouring and grace. The Holy Spirit spoke to me that these rains were for those churches and ministries that would fervently cry out for the rain, like Elijah upon the mountain in 1Kings 18:41-46. Elijah in verse 41 heard the sound of the abundance of rain and he knew in his spirit that the famine for Israel was over and it was time for the rain to fall, Chapter 18:1. Chapter 17:1 said that the rains would come at the word of Elijah and it would be at the word of the hungry people for healing revival in intercession that the rains will fall.
Though Elijah knew it was time for the rain to fall he still in fervent prayer upon the mountain had to birth and call it forth, 18:41-46.
The Persistence of Elijah
Though Elijah saw nothing he persisted in fervent prayer calling the rain and if you are to be in the rain and the storm front moving across Canada in healings and miracles you need to preach healing and though you see nothing, preach healing and preach, seven times Elijah persisted and he saw nothing.
I Hear the Sound of Rain
I hear the sound of the rain and I know in my spirit IT IS TIME!!! Climb up on the mountain and call for the rain, call for the storm. When the rains first began to come the cloud was but the size of a man s fist but it grew to the place where Elijah said to Ahab get your chariot going lest the rain stop you upon the way. God spoke to my heart that first there would be healing but then the rain would become torrential rains and we d move into miracles. Will your church be a pool of Bethesda for the sick and the lame? Well, then let it pour and the Lord says that truly they all come from miles around.
That morning in worship after God had given me this word two wonderful Africans walked into the service and God spoke to me that they were a sign that miracles and healings would come forth in North America like in places in Africa. I called these two men to the front of the church for them to prophesy healing rains within the church in their language. That morning in the service we had many healings including a couple of people healed standing at the altar, one of them was one of the Africans. Praise the Lord! what s been happening with the ministry of Fresh Fire is just the beginning of what God is going to do all over North America.

My prayer for you is that you would receive a "holy hunger" for intimacy with God. I believe God is going to pour out this gift according to your measure of hunger, according to your desperation. Holy hunger goes hand-in-hand with God's desire to help you stir up and awaken your passion for Him. God deserves our love more than anything in this world. He is worthy. Listen, at his very moment, Jesus Christ is preparing a place for use in our Father's house. We're going to be with Him forever (John 14:2,3). Therefore, it's time to make ourselves ready, even as a bride would get ready for her wedding day and her husband-to-be.

What are you going to do when all the wells are stopped up? What are you going to do when all the wells run dry? If you're a well, if you're a source, you don't have to worry about it. You've got to be able to be deep enough that when the wells dry up, when there's no dew, when there's no rain, when there's no fountain, when there's famine in the land, when there's drought—you've got to learn how to be close enough to God. For those that are close enough to Him even in the time of famine, He's got a brook. In the midst of the famine, if you're close enough to God and you know how to be deep with God, He'll bring you to your own brook and He'll feed you.

You can either be a well for God or you can drink from the fountain. God is saying, "I want to make you a well." God has many different kinds of wells, and He wants you to be a well. I had a vision of a prophetic word that was given to me just a couple of weeks ago when I was in Mission. I was so filled with the wine of the Holy Spirit, and I was talking about dignity. I said, "Would you lose your dignity for the presence of God?" Then right in the middle of my message, I made this statement, "I don't just want to put my face in the well of God. I don't just want to drink from the well of God. In fact, I am getting so hungry and desperate for Jesus, I want to fall in the well. Then when I fall in the well, I want to swim down to the bottom of the well, and that's where I want to live. I want to be like Gideon in the winepress. I want to be at the bottom of the winepress."
