“This is the year of the Lord’s favor!” As I was praying later I was taken back to Genesis 2:5, “…God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, as there was not a man to till the ground.” Rain only came when a man was formed, created and was tilling the ground. Man is the Hebrew word Adam and ground is the Hebrew word adamah. Adam means in its prime root red, and adamah comes from the word Adam, red, but also means nation, land and territory.

Sons were created out of the ground, the red, the nation, and when we till, which is the Hebrew word abad, and means to serve God with our labor and work, then rain comes to our nation. Sons are created out of the red ground of our nation. We were created for our nation, and even if we immigrated we are transplanted into the soil of the nation.

There is an alignment coming where the marketplace, secular and sacred have no divide! We begin to see our work as service to Father, whatever that service is, and as we do the rain falls, the blood covers the nation, and sons and daughters arise, crying out an awakening in the land.
