The Latter Rain of the Spirit

Centuries have now passed and the story of salvation has spread over a large part of the earth. It's now time for the “spring,” or “latter rains,” to ripen the grain, making it ready to harvest.

Bible prophecy tells of a day coming when the Spirit of God will be poured out like a shower on the church:

“And afterward, I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL PEOPLE. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit IN THOSE DAYS.”
—Joel 2:28, 29.

As history moves to a climax and the final signs appear before Christ's Second Coming, God will prepare every sincere believer for heaven through a great outpouring of His Spirit. Are you now experiencing the former rain that is preparing the church for the latter rain of the Spirit? Are you living a Spirit-filled life today? As you are empowered by the Spirit, will you let God use you to communicate the news of His incredible love and soon return?
