The Blessing of the Lord (Brazil)
Welcome to the launch of our brand new devotional series! In the third segment of this international series, Evangelist Caleb Wampler joins you from Brazil!
In Brazil, I can’t help but think of the many missionaries that came to this area over 100 years ago to spread the gospel. Much of Brazil is covered by the Amazon Rainforest. We can see many times in scripture that rain is actually a sign of blessing from the Lord.Isaiah 45:8 says, “Rain down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together. I, the Lord, have created it.”
Ezekiel 34:26 says, “I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.” The Lord uses rain as a way to show his blessing on us.
Psalm 139:5-7 is also a good reminder of how the Lord’s blessing is always upon us! “You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?” He goes ahead, behind, and everywhere we go! The Lord’s hand of blessing is upon us. We cannot lose! There is no way that we can ever escape the presence of the Lord and my prayer is that you fullybelieve that today.
In Brazil, we witnessed countless displays of the splendor of the Lord, including one very special night for a specific gentleman. While everyone was worshiping the Lord with their hands raised and eyes closed, I received a prophetic word of knowledge from the Lord about someone receiving healing in their knees.
I asked who it was, and a man in the audience came forward to tell us all what had happened. He began to tell us that for many years he suffered from knee problems. Because of this he was unable to work and provide for his family. He began to tell us how he felt heat through both of his knees and that they got extremely hot. The Lord worked through his life and the man bent down and moved his knees; he was healed in Jesus name! He later had an encounter with the Lord and said that Jesus had appeared to him as well! May He do the same for you today
