Healing Rain of Revival

<p>HEALING RAIN REVIVAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT  </p> <p>When Peter said on the Day of Pentecost that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was what the prophet Joel was speaking about, he quoted from Joel - ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh (all people). That is what happened. That was the start of the ‘last days’ outpouring, but Peter did not quote what Joel finally said in his prophecy about the end of the last days outpouring of his Spirit. Joel said that a greater outpouring of his Spirit would precede the event of ‘The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.’ The Holy Spirit did not tell Peter to quote that part about the end-time final outpouring because that was not the time of the Lord’s second coming, so there is a gap of time between the first outpouring and the final greater outpouring and we are still living in that time gap.</p> <p>Joel does explain the gap between the two outpourings however when he compares the outpouring of the Spirit to the falling of the former and latter rains upon the earth that occurred every year agriculturally for Israel. Every year there was a long period of the dry months from one harvest festival to the next, when the land weathered and became hardened, and it needed a moderate former rain to fall to soften the earth before sowing and then there would be a latter rain that would ripen the crop before harvesting. Joel says in his prophecy that the final outpouring of God’s Spirit would bring both former and latter rains to come at the same time - He has appointed you the former rain moderately, And He will cause the former rain and the latter rain to come down in the same month. That Is a double portion outpouring.</p> <p>It is clear that we have not seen the final great and awesome day of the Lord – and we have not seen the final and great outpouring of the Spirit, even though we have had times of refreshing and revivals through many
