Praying Down The Rain
Category: General Announcements, Prophetic Reports
Tom Schlueter, the Texas Prayer Coordinator for the United States Reformation Prayer Network, took the initiative to mobilize intercessors across the entire state to pray for the breaking of this drought.
The state of Texas has been scorched by the worst drought in fifty years.
According to The Wall Street Journal:
“A combination of record-high heat and record-low rainfall has pushed south and central Texas into the region’s deepest drought in a half century, with $3.6 billion of crop and livestock losses piling up during the past nine months.”
“Nearly 80 of Texas’ 254 counties are in “extreme” or “exceptional” drought, the worst possible levels on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s index. Though other states are experiencing drought, no counties in the continental U.S. outside Texas currently register worse than “severe.” In late April, the USDA designated 70 Texas counties as primary natural-disaster areas because of drought, above-normal temperatures and associated wildfires.”
Tom Schlueter, the Texas Prayer Coordinator for the United States Reformation Prayer Network, took the initiative to mobilize intercessors across the entire state to pray for the breaking of this drought. Below is a summary report of their prayer meetings in San Antonio, Texas.
I had a dream in which I saw a whole line of people representing counties and just knew what it meant when I woke up – if we prayed together in Texas, God would break the drought.
The meetings in San Antonio (August 24‐25) were an absolute success. Why? Yesterday, I received four calls or emails from friends in San Antonio, Weimer and near Austin announcing that rain was falling. On Monday night, we had an extremely powerful night in God’s presence marked by sincere humility, repentance and unity. The room was full. We had representatives from across the state as well as many pastors, leaders and intercessors from San Antonio in attendance. John Benefiel, Jay Swallow and I presented the Baal structure to the group. I led off the meeting by calling everyone to fall on their knees and to approach our Lord in humility and unity. We confessed our sins and asked the Lord to meet with us and to break the drought of South Texas. This severe drought is the only one like it in the entire nation. The Lord prompted us that what we did that night (out of humility) would spread to the nation. John presented his teaching on Baal and led us in divorcing Baal and remarrying the Lord. Jay presented a testimony of how the Lord has led him to acknowledge and understand the sins of the ancient people (prior to Native Americans) of the land. He presented one of the most powerful times of repentance I had experienced as the group humbled themselves before God.

On Tuesday morning, we saw the governmental and perverted structure of the enemy fall in San Antonio, Texas and the nation. We gathered at the Hemisfair Plaza where a generation ago (1968) there was a perverted structure of Baal invited into the state and nation. It was welcomed through a daily re‐enactment of an Aztec sun dance (men lowering themselves on a pole) and a sacrifice of a bare‐breasted woman before the gods. This was considered scandalous in 1968. My wife Kay (who was a teenager living in San Antonio at the time) and many others (including myself) had witnessed this World Fair demonstration without realizing that a door to Baal was being opened that would affect the generation to come. We also took apostolic authority and released God’s purposes into the seven mountains of San Antonio, the state of Texas and the nation. We pulled down the death structure that was permeating the city, region and state. San Antonio has a teacher redemptive gifting and we called on the city to receive fresh prophetic revelation for this new season. San Antonio and all of Texas will be positioned and aligned correctly as we enter this new season of God’s kingdom.
