Signs of Revival - Latter Rain Outpouring (notes)

Signs of Revival - Latter Rain Outpouring

Elijah Tells King Ahab “Go eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” Rain is symbolic of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The former and latter rains are types of God’s outpouring.

Joel 2 talks about an outpouring of the Spirit upon all mankind.

God Desires Us To experience everything He has in store for us today. I don’t want to get to heaven and discover that God had so much more for me than experienced in this life.

We Need To Be Like Elijah and not back down from any opportunity to display to the world the power of God.

Romans 1:16

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation of everyone who believe:

What Gospel Do You Believe?

  • Galatians 1:6-12
  • A Gospel of only salvation for the soul or a Gospel of salvation for the soul and healing for the total man. Spirit, soul and body.
  • Even if an angel from heaven preaches any other gospel than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

What Was the Gospel That Paul preached and practiced?

  • Everywhere Paul went people were saved, healed and set free from the power of the devil.
  • He said the Gospel is the power of God. A powerless Gospel is a false Gospel. A gospel that denies the power of God over the works of darkness was not what Jesus preached!

The Thorn In The Flesh that Paul talked about was not sickness.

  • It was a demon who would bring torment and persecution to the ministry of Paul.
  • We must reject any message that says sickness is God’s will for his children. If we would do that to our children we would be arrested by a fallen system for child abuse.

God

  • Does not need to revert to a result of the fall to teach the redeemed a lesson.
  • Does not need to make us sick to teach us how much he loves us.
  • Loves to heal and restore his children and make us whole.
  • Loves to heal cancer, heart disease, diabetes, back injuries, allergies, depression and any addiction.

Elijah

  • Walked with God and talked with God, and when there was an impossible situation Elijah believed God and God came through each time.
  • Was a man of prayer and a man of faith.
  • Saw God answer with fire.

God Is

  • Love
  • Holy
  • Compassionate
  • A miracle worker
  • Kind
  • Generous

The Scribes And Pharisees missed the greatest revelation of God’s love in Jesus Christ because they were satisfied with their training, their position, and their place in Jewish society.

  • God has truth that the church has lost that revival reveals. God is good, God loves to heal and set captives free.

Go And Check Seven times if you see anything.

  • What is the prophetic significance here?
  • Revival might tarry but when time and destiny meet (Kiros) things happen. Some are saying that we need a new reformation.
  • When it comes to praying for revival we must be diligent and not give up until we see the rain.
  • I smell the fragrance of rain. Revival is occurring in different parts of the world.

Verses On Rain

  • Deuteronomy 11:14 There is a season for revival.
  • Proverbs 16:15 Revival leads to intimate worship
  • Jeremiah 5:24 The last revival will combine all the blessings of previous revivals.
  • Hosea 6:3 God comes like the rain and as refreshing as spring rain which refreshes the ground.
