Speaking foundationally tonight on:
THE RAIN OF REVIVAL – THE NECESSITY FOR THE RAIN.
It’s going to be very brief and after that we shall pray.
Objective:
Understanding the necessity for the rain of revival. Why is the rain of revival necessary:
- We need the rain for the fulfillment of the promise of scripture, the fulfillment of the promise of the Word.
“…I will come to you with the rain, the former rain and the latter rain in the first month”.
Leviticus 26:3-4, Jeremiah 5:24
“I will give you rain” is a promise that must be fulfilled. Church Gist. We must have the rain in fulfillment of the promise of scripture.
- We need the rain for the observation of the seasons of life. Life is divided into seasons and it is important that the various seasons of life happen for us (Jeremiah 5:24). We also saw how, if we obey His word, He will cause us to have the rain in due season. It is an abomination, it is not correct to only know the dry season of life. It is not correct to only experience the winter season of life.
For as a matter of fact, it is the impact of the raining season that helps to handle the confrontations of the dry season. There are Pastors, there are ministries here today and those watching online who don’t know what is called the rainy season. All they know is the dry season of life. Everything is dry; the word is dry, ministry is dry, finances are dry, miracles are dry, everything is dry – it is not correct.
Some of the places we call the Orthodox Churches today, some of them as far as the miraculous is concerned, as far as the presence of God is concerned, all that they experience and they see is dry season.
There are those who say the age of miracles are past because they are in a dry season. There are those who don’t experience or expect any Church growth because they are in a dry season. Church Gist. There are Pastors of the word today where ministry is purely and basically dry.
For the observation of the seasons of life, the rain is needed.
- For the softening of the ground (Jeremiah 14:4). Everytime there is no rain, you labour on hard grounds.
In Africa, people still farm with the hoe and when that is the situation, you hands get blistered when the ground is hard. You bleed when the ground is hard, you struggle for years with nothing to show when the ground is hard because there is no rain.
There are many parts of Europe that need rain right now because the Pastors are labouring, they are struggling, their hands are getting blistered. When you have a Church of 100 people and they say that you you have tried, the ground is so hard. Church Gist. They utilize all the technologies they want and the ground is very, very hard because there is no rain.
We need the rain in Africa, we need the rain in Europe, we need the rain in Australia, we need the rain in South America, we need the rain in parts of the world for the softening of the ground.
- I prophesy today, you came all the way from the Country where you have come, on your return back to that Country where you have come from, you will experience a revival rain that will amaze you.
I heard a story from Dr Yonggi Cho where he said that when praying in Korea, under three hours he will experience an open heaven but when he went into Japan and he prayed and he continuing praying for seven hours and he could not break through and he realized that there was a difference in the spiritual climates of Japan and Korea. The spiritual climate of Korea may have been broken by years of revival but Japan was still tied with 99 per cent Buddhism as at that time.
Beloveth brothers and sisters, we need to labour on soft ground, the ground must not be hard permanently. The ground must not be strong permanently. The effort you are using on hard ground now and you are producing very minimal results, if you use half of that effort on a soft ground, you will experience a result that will amaze your world. That is why we must trust God for the rain on our grounds, for the softening of the ground and for revival to explode.
Lift your hands and say; Father I trust you for the softening of the ground for revival. Father, I ask for the softening of the ground for revival. Let the rain fall and let the ground be softened.
