Throughout
the bible the rain cycles of Israel speaks of prophetic types of the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit as well as the harvest of souls. The
Hebrew word for the early rain is the word "pourer" "yoreh" which speaks
of a soaking rain. The Hebrew word for the latter rain is the "harvest
rain" "malqoesh" This word speaks of a heavy, torrential violent rain.
Prophetically speaking, the early rain was in reference to Pentecost,
and the latter rain is yet to come. The bible says that in the last days
the Lord will send both the former rain and the latter rain.
In
1 Kings 18:41 the Prophet Elijah told Ahab that he "heard" the sound of
an abundance of rain. He then sent his servant to go and "look" for the
rain. The servant went seven times before he had seen anything. He then
returned and said to Elijah, I see a small cloud, as a man's hand. This
was a sign that the rain was imminent. Then it came to pass that the
heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. In
the same way, there is an abundance of rain on the horizon as Jesus the
"Rainmaker" is sending the rain once again.
Lord
says, I will release My glory upon the earth once again. When you see
the latter rain begin to fall, do not be afraid to step in. This is not a
natural rain, but this rain is torrential and will come with power, and
it will come with great strength. This rain will come with substance
and it will come in abundance. This rain will come with tenacity and it
is available to all who are thirsty. It is available to all who are
ready to leave their natural ways of thinking, and let go of their
traditions. I will bring you into this new place as this rain produces
rivers, and these rivers are now rising. As you receive the latter day
rain, everything that is not of Me will wash away, and everything that
is dry and brittle will be replenished. Everything that is sick will be
restored. In this downpour you will receive revelation that will astound
you and you will experience floods of peace. Allow Me to take you
deeper as I am looking for those who are not afraid to step out of their
comfort zone. I am looking for those who are not afraid to launch out
into the deep. I am looking for laborers for this great harvest which is
about to begin.
Everywhere
that My rain falls will deliver life. The warfare that has raged
against you will appear minuscule and you will no longer be intimidated
by the powers of darkness that come against you. This outpouring will
extinguish every fiery dart that is aimed at you. Many will experience
breakthroughs of significant proportions as they enter in, and there
will be great miracles that will accompany this deluge. What seemed
impossible with man will become a natural occurrence. Do not become
discouraged when you see the dark clouds. It is the dark clouds that are
carrying the heavy rain. The dark clouds are bringing back the former
rains and they are carrying in the latter rains which will create
massive rivers. As I said in My word, I will work a work in your days
which you would not believe if it were told to you. Be encouraged when
you see the small cloud at a distance. This is just the beginning of My
outpouring as this rain begins to fall; says the Lord.
1 Kings 18:41
Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain."
1 Kings 18:44-45a
Then
it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, "There is a cloud, as
small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea!" So he said, "Go up, say
to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops
you.'"Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with
clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain.
Habakkuk 1:5
Look
among the nations and watch- Be utterly astounded! For I will work a
work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.
Zachariah 10:1
Ask
the Lord for rain In the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make
flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field
for everyone.
