Speaking Your Reality

Rainmakers are unique individuals - they have the ability to make things happen. They produce when everyone else is making excuses.

The makeup of a rainmaker is different from others. The DNA of who they are, causes them to perceive their situations different. This then triggers the second key component of their makeup - they speak different.

The words of a rainmaker are very different from the average individual. Those of the mediocre masses speak of limitations: how bad the market it, how tough the customers are, how it is not as good as it used to be. On the other hand, the rainmaker, because they see different, speak of opportunity. The rainmaker does not deny the difficulty, but they speak with a different intent and approach to the situation.

In our previous post, we spoke of Major.OP Smith. When he and his marines were totally surrounded, Maj. Smith saw a different opportunity and expressed it with different language. He is recorded as replying "Excellent!" "What do you mean Major?" "Are you crazy?" No, just verbalizing an internal difference. Even today, you can almost feel his intensity - "Excellent!"

Kingdom Rainmakers
Spiritual rainmakers have a different language also; it is a language of faith. Elijah heard God say He was sending rain. Elijah's response was to tell Ahab to get up, eat and drink or have feast, because I hear the sound of the abundance of rain.

Notice, it had not started to rain yet. it was still hot and arid with a drought induced famine. Yet Elijah was speaking different. He was speaking what he perceived above and beyond the obvious physical conditions. He was speaking what he knew in the spirit realm.

Kingdom rainmakers are those who are led by the Spirit, declaring what the Spirit is revealing. It is not in existence in the temporal realm - yet; but they speak what they know as if it is being experienced in the here and now.

Influence
The rainmaker's programming to speak different allows them to have a significant influence on individuals.

• Major OP Smith was able to lead his men to safety. Obviously, they trusted and followed him because of what he spoke.
• Ahab arose and did what Elijah told him to do.

The words of a rainmaker are powerful - they influence others to do or be, beyond their present circumstances.

Food for thought -
In these current economic times, are you speaking as a rainmaker?
