THe Lord showed to my prayer partner and me during a time of prayer, three Caribbean nations that were in serious jeopardy. They are Jamaica, Guyana and Barbados. This was at the end of last week (Thursday,I believe). He showed my prayer partner that the pride of the Bajans (Barbadians) had stirred His anger (they are actually a very proud people). Both of my parents are from Barbados, and many of their relatives live their. One of my sisters does as well.This revelation came to him just as the Lord had me taking a bit of a strange turn as we were winding down a long session of sharing around the things of God aand prayer. The Lord just put Jamaica on my heart, and I started to prophesy over it and to take up a lamentation over it. The Lord had me speaking that He was in sadness over Jamaica, that it was a land that He loved and longed to draw her unto Himself. Alot of sadness was being expressed in that prophesy, but interspersed with joy. It took me by surprise, but I stepped out in faith and strove to flow with the Spirit. He then had me do something similar with Guyana (the only English-speaking Caribbean country located in South America). This was more than a bit unusual the way it happened. When I was done, I thought my prayer partner would have a further confirming word on those countries. Then he shared with me on what the Lord was showing him about Barbados when I was speaking over Jamaica. Strange thing, this happened before this threat of Ivan materialized in the way that it did. You can imagine how taken aback we were as the events of this week unfolded, and finding that Jamaica, after the initial onslaught of Ivan, was directly in the path of this fella. Never did we realize how dramatic and immanent God's word to us was. Through it all we have prayed for God's mercy and fought the storm for dear life.It still baffles me how folks can be so apathetic about something so serious. The people of Grenada were that way because they hadn't experienced anything like that for almost fifty years. Now Ivan has left 90% of the buildings either destroyed or badly damaged, down to the Prime Minister's residences (official and private) and the Governor General's. All that was left standing of the latter's is the foundation.
