Rick Joyner: I Prayed For Drought To Strike California

During a “Prophetic Conference” that was broadcast last month on “The Jim Bakker Show(link is external),” televangelist Rick Joyner said that he was praying for drought(link is external) in California, explaining that God had told him that California would soon face destruction(link is external) — he has been predicting an “imminent” earthquake since 2011(link is external) — and therefore an event like a drought would convince people to leave before the state turns into ruins.

“I started praying for things like a drought to come upon California so it would force them out, they would have to start leaving and things like that,” Joyner said. “It’s time to get out.”

However, Joyner also said(link is external) that God is telling certain people to stay in California to help others when calamity strikes.
