Is England’s Historic Drought a Warning From God?

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Britain’s green countryside is turning brown as a historic drought scorches much of England. For Christians, the images present more than an environmental crisis. They offer a vivid picture of what happens when a nation abandons the God who once stood at the center of its identity.

More than two-thirds of England is now in drought, according to the Daily Mail. Satellite images released by the European Union show large sections of southern England transformed from green fields in August 2025 into parched land one year later.

London’s Hyde Park appears almost entirely scorched.

“Over the summer of 2026, dry conditions have been affecting the United Kingdom,” the EU said. The Met Office reported that Wisley, Surrey, endured 61 consecutive dry days. Heathrow and Odiham each went 55 days without meaningful rain. Several other locations across southern England experienced dry spells lasting more than six weeks.

Elijah, Baal and the Withheld Rain

The drought carries a striking biblical parallel.

In 1 Kings 17-18, Israel suffered a prolonged drought after King Ahab and Queen Jezebel led the nation into Baal worship. Baal’s followers considered him a god of storms, fertility and rain. Yet when Israel embraced Baal and rejected the Lord, the heavens closed.

The drought exposed Baal’s powerlessness.

Elijah eventually confronted 450 prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. Their false god failed to answer, but the Lord responded to Elijah’s prayer with fire. Only after the people fell before God and declared, “The Lord, He is God,” did rain return.

Britain’s Christian Retreat

Britain once sent missionaries around the world and built its institutions upon a Christian foundation. Today, that inheritance is being dismantled.

King Charles III remains the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, but he has recast the monarchy’s public religious posture around protecting all faiths and secular beliefs. The leader charged with defending the Christian faith now presents Christianity as one spiritual path among many.

Parliament has moved in the same direction. Christian street preachers have faced arrest and investigation for proclaiming biblical truth. Parliament has restricted prayer and religious expression near abortion facilities. Evidence increasingly shows the world a two-tier system in which authorities treat public expressions of Christianity as threats while showing greater sensitivity toward other religions such as Islam.

This is the spiritual progression Cahn describes: A nation removes God, empties its house and opens the door to the gods it once rejected.

A Call to Return

Rain is forecast, but the Met Office urged the public to be “cautious about how much impact it will have.” Heavy downpours can run off hardened ground instead of soaking into the soil.

That warning carries its own spiritual lesson. A brief shower cannot restore land hardened by prolonged drought. Likewise, ceremonial Christianity cannot heal a nation that has rejected the authority of Christ.

We must recognize the biblical pattern before us. Britain’s scorched landscape stands as a warning to a nation that has turned from its Christian foundation.

The answer is the same one given on Mount Carmel: repentance, wholehearted devotion and the public declaration that the Lord alone is God.

James Lasher, a seasoned writer and editor at Charisma Media, 

The open rebellion of the government against anything that speaks of God is alarming. When one allows their country to be overrun by Islam and push their religion while stifling Christianity, we can expect God to respond. Is this God’s judgement, who knows, but likely. Europe is lost without a genuine move of God. America pay attention! Rh

Revival or Bust

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The First Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, the Welsh Revival, and America’s Jesus Movement all began with ordinary people becoming deeply dissatisfied with the emptiness of the world around them and turning toward Christ.

Today’s generation faces its own unique crises.

Anxiety, depression, addiction, family breakdown, identity confusion, economic uncertainty, and endless cultural upheaval have left many wondering whether there is something more than the promises offered by modern society.

The Gospel answers that question with a resounding yes.

It offers forgiveness where there is guilt.

Hope where there is despair.

Purpose where there is confusion.

Peace where there is fear.

That message never goes out of style because the deepest needs of the human heart never change.

Technology changes.

Culture changes.

Political movements rise and fall.

But humanity’s need for redemption remains exactly the same.

Thirty thousand people gathering in Angel Stadium is encouraging not simply because of the size of the crowd, but because it challenges the growing assumption that America has permanently lost interest in Christianity.

Perhaps the interest never disappeared.

Perhaps millions were simply waiting for someone to invite them.

Jesus instructed His followers to “go into all the world and preach the gospel.” That command has never been limited to church buildings, nor has it expired with changing technology. Whether through stadiums, college campuses, beaches, living rooms, or digital platforms, the mission remains unchanged.

The message of the Gospel is the same today as it was yesterday. True salvation comes as we see our need and respond to the only one who can change our circumstances and give us a new life! The Lord has not moved from humanity, humanity has distanced itself from Jesus.

John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life; no one come to the Father but through me.”

He is just waiting patently. Romans 10:9-10 Rh

If my people, if all Christians would truly live out their faith, living in repentance and interceding for our great nation, then God will restore. Renewal must first begin at the house of God. We need to make our churches a house of prayer! Once we have been revived, then it will spread to all people. Awaken us Lord! Rh

Lawmakers and Christians Unite In Prayer For America

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Lawmakers, christians, Pastors and CEOs gathered this past week in D.C. to call for repentance and prayer for our nation. We are facing a serious spiritual battle over our country.  Not only have we lost a fear (reverence) of God, we are openly rebelling against what has always been the moral norm in society.  Our churches have become a moral quagmire with erroneous doctrines being preached as truth. Our governmental officials are doing not the “will of the people,” but for their own greed and lust for power.   Hanging on to the lust for power until they crumble and fall from failing health right before our eyes.  

Our battle is spiritual.  As believers we hold the key to the renewal of the United States and the world.  God is not finished with us, but time is running out.  It is time to put off our notions of greatness, humble ourselves, and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive us our corporate sins, and bring a newness and renewal to our nation.  

WE are in need of forgiveness, repentance and a turning back to the Judeo-Christian values that made America the envy of the world.  God has blessed us to the extent that, IMO we think we are above retribution for a Holy God!  God is not mocked, “for whatsoever a man or nation sows, they shall also reap.”  God have mercy upon us.  Forgive us and restore us….Amen!  Rh

Lawmakers, Christians From Across The World Gather In DC With Prayer And Repentance For America

The Allure Of Peace

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The allure of peace in the Middle East has caused many politicians to take sides, most of the time they’re on the wrong side of history.  Diplomacy as the western governments know it will never work in the Middle East. As a pastor and Bible teacher, I firmly stand on the inerrancy of the word of God. It tells me that there will never be true peace in the Middle East until the prince of peace makes his appearance. And that my friends, is many battles and much pain and sorrow away from happening.

What started off as a grandiose design by President Trump hailed as the beginning of the golden age, has moved from our shores to the world stage. Now we see the Trump administration mired in the same quagmire that has hit every US president since the Arab all embargo in the 70s.

What to do about Israel, the Arabs, and now the radical Islamic Jihadist. Trump is fond of talking about peace through strength. That truly is all the radical terrorists and anarchists in the Middle East understand. They have lived through tribal wars, ancient rivalries, and also ancient hatred of one another. Ancient rivalries infused with blood oaths as well. It’s inbreed. 

If one understands the Bible prophecy, we understand it will be a great shaking and falling away from the Christian faith. We also understand that Jerusalem will be a problem to all the nations of the world. “Zechariah12:2” There is a division happening right now of nations being sifted and taking side for and against Israel. 

We also understand some sort of world, religion, and world government will take authority over the entirety of the world. We see this played out in revelation 13. Our technology and surveillance systems have made it possible that every person on the face of the Earth can be tracked and their whereabouts, spending habits and even what they are writing and saying on social media can be tracked. And to think when we were booting those computers up every morning on dial up that it would come to something like this.

My opinion is that Trump and those around him have absolutely no clue to what they’re doing, so scratch off the typical left-wing lunatics who think that Trump is the antichrist. I don’t see how it could be. Is it possible, of course anything is possible. God is in control and he is sovereign. But I do believe that the Trump administration with their focus on peace in the Middle East and with his grandiose board of peace, which smacks of a New World order, which is exactly what Trump has been railing against. Funny how that works isn’t it?

The apparatus for the soon to be declared antichrist, the man of sin, the one who will step in and declare that he has the keys and the ability to make peace is now here. I do believe the steps that are being taken today, the push for the 

The AI revolution is a part of the foreshadowing that will come right before the antichrist is revealed.

Bible prophecy tells us the time is not right for the antichrist to appear at this present moment. In fact, I believe there are two events that will happen before this, revealing. The rapture of the church which I believe is a pre-tribulation rapture of the saints of God taken out of this world by the Blessed hope that they have in Christ Jesus. Also believe that shortly after that because of that chaos Ezekiel 38 a contingency of nations which primarily include Russia, Turkey, and Iran will lead an attack against the nation of Israel. This attack will happen at a time of peace and safety, as the Bible declares. When will that be, and what is the true definition of peace and safety, no one really knows.

Let’s get back to this board of peace. I believe it’s a for runner, I believe it is man’s way of trying to put money and dollars and investments, and bring about prosperity and peace in the Middle East. Which has been tried before, which has been bandied about as the solution. Remember, when Obama said if these Islamist just had a good job, they would lay down their arms? They’re not laying down their arms. They’re going to fight to the death because that’s who they are, that’s what they do and that’s who controls them, the spirit of death and destruction. Rh

Below is an excerpt from an article written by Jim Fletcher, an outstanding Christian activist, specializing in Bible prophecy, and Christian apologetics.

Here too we see the prophetic outlines. The full isolation of Israel, globally, is one of the linchpins of Bible prophecy in the very end times. I will say this: while Trump has done many good things, and seems to have genuine love for America, it also appears that he does not have a real biblical worldview. He has recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, but his team is full of Arabists that have been in Washington for a century. They will not allow full Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.

The recent opportunities to decapitate Tehran, Beirut, and the Gaza Strip have come and gone, it appears. This will cost many more lives down the road.

But if we do hold to those marvelous predictions the Lord provided for us in His Word, we should not expect/count on real peace to break out. That is not His plan.

This Board of Peace will not be that. Instead, it is a bizarre and puzzling self-inflicted wound. It is like a child running toward danger, rather than fleeing it. Hard to believe so many smart people can be so wrong about building blocks for peace, at least short-term. Can you imagine what the world would have been like if the Ayatollah and his demon horde had been overthrown? At the very least, many lives internationally would have been saved from this terror nest.

We trust our Lord, though. And we wait.

Thankfulness

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. This is a day set aside to be thankful for all the blessing in life. We have breath, and life and most of us have lots to be appreciative of. Family, friends and loved ones. A nation that may be torn apart and divided along political and sectarian reasons, but is still the only hope for the world. America, a bastion of hope and freedom where all men are created equal and have opportunities that the majority of the world long for.

My greatest thanks is to Almighty God who sent us a savior. His name is Jesus and he is the most blessed hope for mankind. Salvation, forgiveness and hope is only found in His saving grace. If you feel troubled or lost, maybe even thinking of ending it all by taking your own life, rethink that thought. You have a savior. He is closer than a brother, call upon Him now. He will fill your heart with peace. The Bible tells us there is no other name given to save us. Believe in Him. confess him as your Lord and he will save you.

New life in Christ will transform you into a new person. That is why it is called being born again. All things will pass away and all things will become brand new. Jesus is the answer to life.

The Rise of Anti-Semitism

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

It is certainly not a surprise in the world we live in that hatred of Jewish people is on the rise. I say that, however, a part of me thinks it’s absolutely mad that we have forgotten the terrors of Nazi Germany so quickly. The Jewish people have a saying “never again,” speaking of the holocaust. Unfortunately never again happened on Oct. 7th 2023. I am not here to deal with that, we have spoken on that hideous attack with all its atrocities on many occasions.

The point of my essay today is to share the reason of this demonic hatred of a people that really are a bother to no one. They live their lives. They make the world better through their scientific and cultural activities. All they really want is to live in peace in their homeland, yes it is theirs from antiquity. Given to them by God to the Patriarch Abraham, passed down to Isaac and Jacob. In that same line we find our Savior Jesus Christ. Aw, now we are getting somewhere.

The pure demonic hatred is found from the beginning. From Haman, the Roman emperors, to Hitler and all points in between. It all started in the garden. It still flourishes today. The anti-christ spirit that lives in this world was spoken of in 1 John 1:18. It was alive then and it is on steroids today. The pure hatred brandied about on our college campuses by Marxist professors and students rivals the rise of Nazism in the 30’s in Europe. So it really is a sign of the times, but also a deep thread of evil that a sinful unrepentant world loves to soak in. Evil has to hate something or someone, and the Jews are an easy target.

Surprisingly even some Christian denominations have forsaken the Biblical command to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. To lift up and pray for a people who through them came the sure Word of God and our Messiah. God is not finished with Israel. The very fact that this small country bothering no one is under heavy attack military and economically is proof they are still a part of God’s plan. Replacement theology is a lie.

The backlash to this is the saying of the radical Islamist who declare boldly they are coming for the Saturday (Jews) people first then the Sunday (Christians) people next. Mark my words the anti-Christ spirt is targeting and will increase attacks on churches and Christians. We are already seeing this happen in Europe, Africa, and Canada. Not surprising. This so called religion of peace, demands to “convert or die.”

Hate Israel if you want, but if you do, you will be standing and fighting against Almighty God. I choose to stand with Israel. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything they do, but it does mean I want to be on God’s side. I stand with the Word! I stand with Israel!

Jews Are Not Just a People, But They are A Testimony

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Below is an excellent article that captures so very much about the stamina and drive of the Jewish people and a small nation called Israel. Rh

This is an excellent article by Alister Heath, a British journalist for the Daily Telegraph:

There’s something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable, and it’s not what they say it is.

They’ll point to politics, settlements, borders, and wars. But scratch beneath the outrage, and you’ll find something deeper. A discomfort not with what Israel does, but with what Israel is.

A nation this small should not be this strong. Period.

Israel has no oil. No special natural resources. A population barely the size of a mid-sized American city. They are surrounded by enemies. Hated in the United Nations. Targeted by terror. Condemned by celebrities. Boycotted, slandered, and attacked.

And still, they thrive like there’s no tomorrow.

In military. In medicine. In security. In technology. In agriculture. In intelligence. In morality. In sheer, unbreakable will.

They turn desert into farmland.

They make water from air.

They intercept rockets in mid-air.

They rescue hostages under the nose of the world’s worst regimes.

They survive wars that were supposed to wipe them out, and win.

The world watches this and can’t make sense of it.

So they do what people do when they witness strength they can’t understand.

They assume it must be cheating.

It must be American aid.

It must be foreign lobbying.

It must be oppression.

It must be theft.

It must be some dark trick that gave the Jews this kind of power.

It must be blackmail.

Because heaven forbid it’s something else.

Heaven forbid it’s real.

Heaven forbid it’s earned.

Or worse, destined.

The Jewish people were supposed to disappear a long, long time ago. That’s how the story of exiled, enslaved, hated minorities is supposed to end. But the Jews didn’t disappear. They actually came home, rebuilt their land, revived their language, and brought their dead back to life — in memory, in identity, and in strength.

That’s not normal.

It’s not political.

It’s biblical.

There’s no cheat code that explains how a group of people return to their homeland after 2,000 years.

There is no rational path from gas chambers to global influence.

And there is no historical precedent for surviving the Babylonians, the Romans, the Crusaders, the Inquisition, the pogroms, and the Holocaust, and still showing up to work on Monday in Tel Aviv.

Israel doesn’t make sense.

Unless you believe in something beyond the math.

This is what drives the world crazy. Because if Israel is real, if this improbable, ancient, hated nation is somehow still chosen, protected, and thriving, then maybe God isn’t a myth after all.

Maybe He’s still in the story.

Maybe history isn’t random.

Maybe evil doesn’t get the last word.

Maybe the Jews are not just a people… but a testimony.

That’s what they can’t stand.

Because once you admit that Israel’s survival isn’t just impressive, but divine, everything changes. Your moral compass has to reset. Your assumptions about history, power, and justice collapse. You realize you’re not watching the end of an empire. You’re witnessing the beginning of something eternal.

So they deny it.

They smear it.

And rage against it.

Because it’s easier to call a miracle “cheating” than to face the possibility that God keeps His promises.

And He’s keeping them still!

Georg Whitefield (Revivalist in Colonial America)

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Beginning in 1740, George Whitefield preached seven times in America. He spread the Great Awakening Revival, which helped unite the Colonies prior to the Revolutionary War.

Whitefield‘s preaching stirred crowds with enthusiasm, which was criticized by the formal, established churches of the day. When they closed their doors to him, Whitefield began preaching out-of-doors. Crowds grew so large that no church could have held the number of people, sometimes being as large as 25,000.

In one sermon, George Whitefield proclaimed:

“Never rest until you can say, ‘the Lord our righteousness.’ Who knows but the Lord may have mercy, nay, abundantly pardon you? Beg of God to give you faith; and if the Lord give you that, you will by it receive Christ, with his righteousness, and his all … None, none can tell, but those happy souls who have experienced it with what demonstration of the Spirit this conviction comes …”

“Oh, how amiable, as well as all sufficient, does the blessed Jesus now appear! With what new eyes does the soul now see the Lord its righteousness! Brethren, it is unutterable … Those who live godly in Christ, may not so much be said to live, as Christ to live in them … They are led by the Spirit as a child is led by the hand of its father … They hear, know, and obey his voice … Being born again in God they habitually live to, and daily walk with God.”

George Whitefield was one of the first ministers to publicly preach the Gospel to slaves. This profoundly influenced many preachers, such as Rev. Samuel Davies, and denominations, such as Baptists, Methodists and Quakers, to be inclusive of blacks.

A young black teenager named John Marrant heard Whitefield preach in Charleston, South Carolina. Marrant converted and went on to become one of America’s first black preachers, even preaching among Cherokee, in England and in Nova Scotia.

George Liele, a black slave in Georgia, heard a Great Awakening preacher. He converted and began preaching with such conviction that his master freed him. Liele founded one of America’s first black churches–Silver Bluff Baptist Church in Beach Island, South Carolina, 1773, and then became one of America’s first foreign missionaries, arriving in Jamaica in 1792.

George Whitefield advocated for the improvement of the treatment of slaves, though he sadly held the typical 18th century view which accommodated the institution of slavery.

It was not until 1770 that Pennsylvania Quaker Anthony Benezet pioneered the movement to abolish slavery by founding the Negro School at Philadelphia, and, in 1775, the Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage, of which Franklin became the president in 1785.

Benezet’s school was inspired by Whitefield, who had first proposed in 1739 that Philadelphia have a Charity School for blacks and poor orphan children. Franklin later merged the Charity School with his newly formed Academy of Philadelphia.

Franklin helped finance the building of an auditorium for Whitefield to preach in, after which it became one of the first buildings of the Academy, which turned into the University of Pennsylvania.

I am praying for another Great Awakening in the United States to bring repentance and restoration. Our nation has had at least three great moves of God. Lord we pray for one more! We you join with me to see one last move of God before it is too late. Every major issue that divides our land is a moral issue. It will take moral solutions, not political ones. Rh
