Just sitting enjoying the sunshine one day when I noticed several very small clouds “as big as a mans hand.”

I asked The LORD which one was His ? He chuckled and said, “The one that rains on you!”

Following this seemingly innocuous exchange, I felt The LORD ask me, “When I do send My rain, how will you know?

What will identify My Rain, as in ‘Latter Rain’, from ordinary day to day watering rain?”

I had to sit and think about this for a while — and I had to conclude that I really don’t know!

I mean, what if it comes literally as seemingly normal rain?

I believe that most Bible-believing Christians simply talk about ‘latter day rain’ with little or no real concept of it.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but it does hinder our ability to identify it — doesn’t it?

So, The LORD’s question takes on a whole new import does it not?

In answer to my unbidden question, The LORD answered me — “When I start to send My Rain, it will come gently — in ‘showers’ until you get used to it and accustomed to identifying what is happening.

Only then will it come as a great outpouring that will sweep all before it.

There will be occasions when I will send it INDOORS, but there are those who will try to use this phenomenon for their own agenda and profits.

Have nothing to do with such people for that will be the last time I will visit that Church.

Rather, seek those who will simply give Me ALL The Glory, and get on with the work The Rain is sent to accomplish.

This rain IS coming and you will know its presence if you remain in Me and I remain in you.

This is My Promise to those who seek My Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Go — begin the harvest.

Carry My presence wherever you go.

Trust Me for your Rain — I will not fail you.”

Amen? I hear the sound of approaching rain!
