Do you remember the original movie called the Karate Kid with Ralph Macchio? Do you remember how Mr. Miagi had him wax on and wax off on the car; how he had him paint the fence, up and down and up and down. Do you remember how Daniel did not understand what his sensei Mr. Miagi was teaching him? Well, the Lord just showed me this is what He has been doing with so many of us and we did not understand it.

We have waxed the car and painted the proverbial fence, not understanding what God was asking us to do. For you that did the jobs the Lord asked of you, not understanding at all how this had anything to do with what He has called you to, I hear you. This morning, the Lord revealed to me what He was doing in the waxing of the proverbial car and painting of the fence.

I don’t know what you have been asked to do, but your faithfulness is springing up from the ground, like a fountain that is sourced in the deep places. What seemed like chores, what felt mundane, uneventful and even frustrating at times, was training you to do what He created you to do. I can’t stop the flow of tears falling from my eyes right now as He is revealing what it was all for.

Psalm 85 says, “Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.” This is a poetic way of saying what Genesis 7:11-12 says, “On that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. And rain fell upon the earth!”

When we are faithful we are the fountain of the deep on earth that springs up and He, the Lord is the righteousness in heaven that pours down and together us and the Lord flood the earth with glory according to Habakkuk 2:14 “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” This is not a future hope, this is a current reality as the Lord is tapping his faithful ones and they are springing up even now, which means He is also opening the windows of heaven and pouring out.

The drought is truly over!!!! It is raining!!!!! We are the spring, He is the window and the earth is being flooded with glory right now. It is truly a holy visitation.
