This is a Holy Ghost weather update of what is now happening in the sovereignty of God. The Yishimon desert of Israel has been hit by flashfloods the last 72 hours. This is a very rare event in the desert wasteland area just south of the Dead Sea. Though the rains fall each year in the other desert regions of Israel (there are 6 other desert regions in Israel), yet in this specific area it is very, very rare! The prophet Isaiah declares to us that the premier sign that God is doing something new on the earth is when this certain desert known as Yishimon breaks out with flashfloods and rivers! (Check out the video footage of this area from earlier this year)

“Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the Desert (Yishimon). The beasts of the field will glorify Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I have given waters in the wilderness and Rivers in the Desert, to give drink to My chosen people. The people whom I formed for Myself, will declare My praise.”

Isaiah 43:18-21 (NASB)

It is happening right now! Meditate on Isaiah 43;18-21!!!

Pull out the slack, get serious for God, and get mobile you mighty Desert Shepherd Warriors!!!!!

In His weather watchtower,

Shalom Friends,

Massive flashfloods have hit the deserts of Israel this week and now yesterday the Northern Galilee city of Nahriyah was flooded.  Nahriyah in Hebrew means the “River of God”!  Wow!  Could we be seeing a prophetic watershed event happening before our very eyes that requires us to activate now?  I have been called to be a Holy Ghost weatherman to declare to the Body of Messiah when the Israeli deserts known as the Aravah/Yishimon suddenly experience record breaking flashflooding.  It is based on Isaiah 35 and 43:18-21, and is the key prophetic event in the Scriptures you can hang your hat on when activating yourself to catch the new wave that God is mysteriously sending upon the earth!  Even the Messiah’s return is featured like a flashflood in Isaiah 59:19-20!

My morale is peaked out right now dear friends because two days before this unexpected flooding hit here in Israel I was in prayer again asking Abba for major signs and wonders to break out to arrest the attention of believers worldwide to what is happening here in stealth secret.  This is a follow up to the same thing that happened two weeks ago with the double rainbow appearing at a spontaneous prayer location at one of the Special Forces bases!  I’m stunned and yet very peaked out and ready to sprint in a all out race to see and carry His glory!  The earthquakes, shakings, financial troubles, rumors’ of wars, etc…is just the beginning of the birth pangs coming on the earth (Matthew 24).  We need to be clothed in endurance to stand up to the big test planet earth is in right now!  Keep lifting up your heads because our redemption is drawing nigh!!!!

(The Yishimon and Aravah deserts in flood stage!)

I have put together a audio podcast this morning to help explain the Scriptural precedent of why God uses the desert environs of Israel to signal to His chosen people the new thing He is doing in the earth.  Don’t get caught up in all the presumptuous speculation out there in the media or mystical prophetic crowd…instead look directly in the Scriptures to the precedent He has placed in the desert environs of the Promised Land!  Enjoy this audio podcast and let it be kerosene for your spiritual fire to pick up the pace in this final race for lost souls!!!

In His service for your faith,

In 1985, the name for this ministry “Rivers In The Desert Intl.” was birthed while I researched for a paper at Oral Roberts University. After coming out of a season of deep prayer I came across a rare book in the library by an Israeli archeologists that had discovered a huge but hidden Christian community in the deserts of Israel. These believers were driven into this desert wasteland fleeing the persecution of the Romans and the destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD. What was so interesting about these persecuted believers was how they built up there nomadic villages into prosperous commercial centers with their unique prophetic insight and actions. Their civilization lasted for hundreds of years in a very inhospitable region!

The area of the desert wasteland they lived in would every generation receive massive flashfloods followed by decades of drought. So they had the foresight to engineer an elaborate system of dikes, damns, and canals to channel these precious rains into huge underground cisterns and reservoirs. Thus they were able to build a huge desert civilization for their childrens children…literally an oasis and rivers in the desert! The trade routs of the fertile crescent therefore changed their travelling highway to now the shorter route through this desert wasteland that was blossoming like the garden of Eden. And with that came great prosperity to these wise believers.

Since 1985, I have therefore have kept my eye continually on observing the rainfall patterns in the southern desert region of Israel and use those rare flashfloods events to personally signal to me it is time for a new season of prayer and pressing into God to capture his new river of anointings, ideas, and new relationships! This precedence has great Scriptural evidence as in the passages of Isaiah 35; ch 41:17-19; ch. 43:18-21; ch. 44:3-5; ch. 59:19-20; Psalm 126…in following the special parallel seasons of the outpourings of the Holy Spirit. These are the ebbs and flows of the windward ways of God which has been hidden to much of the Church world because of replacement theology and anti-semitism…and also plain old laziness and stubborn religious thinking!!!!

The last few months I have been following the current rainfall weather events in Israel with great interest and I have exciting news to report to you’all that the desert wastelands of Southern Israel have been receiving very large amounts of rain this year!!!!!

See ya in the hidden desert waterworks project,

Scott and Dalit

PS, This is our moment to dig in deeper!!! The flashfloods in Israel have happened!!!! A new thing has begun!!!!!

Shalom Friends and Fellow Warriors,

Mega Shalom and blessings to you from the Land of the Final Shalom solution!  The site of the glorious return of Yeshua our Messiah and Champion!  It has been several months since we featured some of our “unusual side” exploits as is seen on our Spirit Filled Fitness page (see this link).  And 48 hours ago another wild fitness exploit took place on the Israeli Golan border with Syria.  Let me briefly fill you’all in on this unusual exploit.

Earlier this week I was up early in the shahar blackness of the pre-dawn secret place and just getting blasted by the presence of Abba while studying Ezekiel 47.  Suddenly the Holy Spirit told me to contact a Israeli I have not seen for several months.  This man is the top cycling coach in Israel/Middle East and needed some encouragement.  In our conversation, the subject of the Israeli National Time Trial Cycling Championship came up and he was curious if I was going to participate.  I quickly said no and started making all the excuses about being tired, too busy with family, not really been training enough, etc.  (You know all the quick to speak carnal and lazy answers our flesh immediately spews forth when discipline, sacrifice, and pain is sensed just around the corner)!

I thanked him for his time and said a definite “no” that I would not be racing this year due to time constraints (which was really my flesh just giving a nice sounding intellectual EXCUSE). He then told me that the race course was going to be held on the Golan Heights not far from the Syrian border at 4:30 in the heat of the afternoon which just happens to be very close to some of our latest shofar drive-by operations against Syrian and Hezbollah terror networks.  He then said it was going to be a brutal race in the heat of the day with very high winds and would just be a brutal day of suffering.  After hanging up the call, suddenly the Holy Spirit told me to a call him back and sign up for the race!  I started resisting His leading and then just slapped myself out of this cc episode (carnal complaining) and realized that God wants to do something and I’d better obey quickly.  I called the coach back and apologized for my double-mindedness and changed my decision and would like to race (while all the time telling myself I have not trained for this event and would be going in cold turkey)!  I then quickly called the race officials and they told me that I had exactly 2 hours to get registered because their office is closing soon.  I asked what race categories were available to me and they said there was only two spots open.  The first was a short 15k loop for amateurs and the second was the 36K Pro category for the fastest riders in the Middle East.  The Holy Spirit then rose up within me and out loud I said, “The Pro Division”.  The federation official was a bit taken back and asked me if I had any experience at this level and I said sheepishly, ”nothing”.  Two hours later I noticed the posted online start list had me listed in the Pro category and starting as the first TT racer (the worst spot to be in)!

The next day I went to the local bike shop to get my bike serviced out and made UCI legal for the regulations for this National Championship event.  I asked some of the pros at the shop if they were racing up in the Golan Heights and they said very loudly “no way’!  They then explained in detail (something Israeli’s like to do), the pain I was going to experience on that particular course and then the added high winds and oven hot temperatures was a recipe for the worst experience in their minds.  I gulped in hesitation and then began to wait for that butterfly feelings to start rising up and making my head recoil at the pain that was only 24 hours away!  But instead of feelings that foreboding worry, the Holy Spirit instead just kept bubbling up such joy and laughter in me as I talked with them and then they began to discuss among themselves that I must be just crazy and naive!

Well, race day came quickly and I traveled with my youngest son to the Golan Heights to the race site and was immediately welcomed by not just the strong winds but hot oven like temperatures.  It was crazy hot and crazy dehydrating!  I told my son to just camp out in the car while I picked up my race packet and set up the bike (of which he did with the AC blasting full force inside)!  I then lined up for the warm up (it took only about a full 30 seconds to get warmed up LOL) and began to notice the other Pros also getting ready to race.  These guys not only looked Professional, but they had been training for this event for the last 8 months!  Yikes!  Several other riders and friends I knew began to come up to me and offer me their “condolences” with a sorrowful look!  It was as though they all expected me to just blow up on this course and come hobbling back a few hours later or in the ambulance with a heat stroke.  Again..the “Yikes” spiked within me ( i.e. YIKE SPIKE, LOL), and just when I thought about tucking tail and heading back home…the WONDERFUL HOLY SPIRIT again rose up within me and I started laughing uncontrollably!  His joy was my supernatural strength and HE was flushing me of all limiting carnal thoughts and phobias!  My name was then called and I approached the starting ramp and the officials looked at me and then double and tripled checked their starting sheets to make sure I was really racing in the Pro category.  Then with 30 seconds to go the head official looked at me and began to try to talk me out of racing because the winds were so violent and dangerous!  He then looked at my racing wheels and said they were the most dangerous to use in these high winds….  I just smiled and started to laugh in the Holy Spirit again and told him “I like adventures”!   His mouth dropped open in stunning amazement and started to forget the clock was ticking and now down to sub 10 seconds!

The white image in the background is me approaching. Notice the emergency paramedics on standby alert.

Five, four, three, two, one…Boom I took off and before I knew it I was up to 74 kph and totally out of control!  I started too fast and my heart rate skyrocketed to maximum (Zone 5) and I was going anaerobic too soon and had only gone 2 kilometers with 34 more to go!  Then the dangerous side winds began to buffet me and things on my bike started to shake loose.  It was absolute confusion and damage control as my water bottle started to eject and then by bike computer started to fall off and with one hand tried to control the bike and with the other tried to jerry rig everything now violently shaking loose.  The winds were pushing me dangerously close to going off road into the ditch and it was all I could do to keep the bike steady.  At that moment I had the sensation of going airborne from a hidden bump in the road and a pic flashed before my mind of me fellowshipping with the hot asphalt…then suddenly I felt the Blessed Holy Spirit take over again!  There was this locomotive power that began to surge within me that I have not experienced in a long time that was opposite to the extreme pain every muscle in my body was experiencing with going anaerobic too soon and the lactic acid building up in the muscles.  At this moment I started laughing again and decided to just yield and let go any self afflicting thoughts of defeat, pain, and the what “if’s” that plague all of the human race in dangerous scenarios.   Instead of slowing down to gain control I instead just dropped it into the biggest gear (55/11 for those who want to know) and soon was approaching 80 kph on a bike that weighs only 9 kilos and there was no turning back!  Then an hour later I crossed the finish line smiling while at 95% maximum heart rate (something that I was at for 60 minutes…unheard of), and still laughing while soaked in sweat, and splattered with black insects peppered all over my white cycling shirt!   I was in the Glory Haze and shouting praises wildly to Him when some of the other Pros around me at the finish line where collapsing on the pavement and looked like they had just came out of war with that shell shocked faraway look!!

Approaching the finish line and placing 14th in the Pro category!

My son Yotam “accidentally” took this photo with my Iphone.  But it accurately describes what I’m feeling…the Holy Ghost dimension of power and wonders beyond human understanding!  The mantle for exploits!

My youngest son snapped these two pics of me at the end of the race with the biggest smile on his face (post pics).  I knew I did not win the race because He told me that this was just another test of my character for the warfare days ahead, but my time would surprise many in Israel.  Sure enough, a few minutes later the Israel National Time Trial Championship times were posted and in my category of a total of 19 Pro riders I had placed number 14!  Glory to God!  I about fainted when I say the results and have been in a Glory haze daze the last 48 hours since!  This 50 year (young) Holy Ghost preacher was not only taken to school by Abba to teach me pain management in the midst of a Glory anointing for signs and wonders, (a sign to get people looking and a wonder to get them wondering in this tough neighborhood..LOL), but this exploit has once again surprised so many Israelite’s we are friends with and avidly been angling for!  They are stunned how this and other unexplainable things keep happening with us here the last 3 years and they want to learn more about the Messiah!  (I’m so glad I obeyed Him and didn’t talk myself out of this uncharacteristic operation when it challenged my comfort zone!)

In conclusion, I share these 2nd tier exploits as a testimony of me being a nobody with no professional sports background or unique athletic ability, to encourage you’all to give your temples to Him for miraculous works of power to wake up our generation!  Study I Cor 9 and how the Apostle Paul buffeted his body and disciplined himself as a Olympic athlete to run this race and complete his calling of service.  Strange and dark days are ahead dear friends and we must use every waking moment to worship Him with our temples and live a controlled life of discipline that is not driven into looking for the exit door when trials, pains, and difficulties arrive.  We are in training now and the best is yet to come per Isaiah 60!  Prepare your temples for war and the long haul until we are helicoptered out of here!  Don’t give in to earthly fears of pain…but go vertical for Him in wild exploits in the market place in this late hour!  And do it in His joy waterfall of spontaneity and not the hot oven dehydration that organized religiosity brings!

Keep in touch and have a great first month of Summer outside yielding to Him!

In His service for your faith,

Scott
PS,  In this new Summer season upon us I would like to do some housecleaning.  It has been my desire since 2007 for our USA ministry offices property to be paid off in full and to owe nothing to the bank.  This property in Atlanta, GA is key to our ongoing operations in Israel.  The amount owed is $235,868.88 and it would be awesome for the ministry to own this office townhouse outright.  You our partners and friends are the most giving believers I have ever had the privilege to serve with and may Abba fill your hands for this gracious act this Spring season!  There is new stealth projects opening up here in Israel this week but I first want secure our USA base before this month is out!  Glory to God!!!!

Shalom Fellow Warriors,

Wow!  Massive downpours and flooding hit the central sector of Israel last week and more is on the way!  Is there any significance to the recent Flashfloods here in Israel for us who are looking to this promised land as a prophetic clock in understanding world events?  I believe there is and the immensity of the display of the atmospheric disturbances here has been quite startling!  What a lighting show indeed!

Flooding in Netanya

Early Friday morning, after waiting in His shahar blackness of the predawn glory haze, I attended my weekly long distance run here in Israel with some friends.  Soon this run in the sand dunes along the beach was swallowed up in a unprecedented display of lightning and thunder that even startled some of the IDF reservists running with us.  As the rains fell I noticed how sweet it tasted compared to the rains I experienced in the recent 100 year flood that deluged Atlanta last month.  The Scripture verses that kept coming to me during this run was that this is the “showers of blessings” spoken of when the true shepherds arise before the Gog/Magog war of Ezekiel (see Ezek. 34:23-31)!  Wow!  I’m telling you dear warriors, I have been in a plethora of violent thunderstorms being raised in the USA, yet I have never experienced such a lightning storm that just continued day after day this last week!  What does all this mean for us?

Besides being a rainfall/flooding that is blessings the agricultural heart of Israel in this central Sharon region, I believe it is also without a doubt a mysterious rare sign to all of us of the late hour we are in per Zechariah 9 and 10.  I encourage you to take the time to listen to this short podcast we have put together for you this morning and thus become even more cunning and wise as to the late hour we are all living in.  This is the time for us to re-calibrate our ears and listen to what the Spirit is saying in this late hour lest we be hardened due to the deceitfulness of sin (Heb. 3:12-19)!  The early rains have come and it is time to yield to Him with all haste
(Joel 2:23-32)!!!

(This is a recon weather update from the promised land.  Stay tuned for atmospheric disturbances….)

Just completed a very saturating weekend of the Days of Awe here in Atlanta. Several people heard late Saturday night the angelic heavenly choirs singing the most beautiful music. Another guest experienced such childlike freedom in worship and spontaneous dance that it melted her soul. Still another brought a testimony of the anointed teachings on prosperity and the harvest by Pastor John Greiner that flooded them with expectancy. And many others still do not have the words to describe the recharging and bridal fire that has ignited in their hearts!

Here is another testimony that just came in…

“I’m praising God today for the substantial strengthening, encouragement, and conviction given to me in the meetings this weekend. Direction for several life issues and new revelation in the Word of God!! God bless you Scott and Dalit for your love and faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for the people God sends your way. I hope to see ya’ll again soon.
In Him, E.T.

Two weeks ago in the Calgary Alberta Days of Awe meetings I saw the Messiah Jesus physically walk into the building and amongst the people in the prayer line! He witnessed to me if I wanted to be alone with Him that night or the 500 ministers down the street (in an annual Spirit filled pastor’s conference that same night) just talking about Him! It shocked me out of following the crowd mentality! It was the most confirming visit I have ever had about the messages and the style of meetings He has led us to conduct. The Lamb Himself is meeting His people and shepherding them to the pure clear waters of His life giving ways!

This is a sign to us that the meetings have taken on a whole new dimension….so visit our web site for the next scheduled The Days of Awe meetings in your area!

Looking forward to seeing you around the springs of the new river coming out of His throne room!

In His War Footing,

Scott and Dalit
