The rain is pouring down

The rain is pouring down
The summer is definitely over for us this year. Now the rain is pouring down. The heaven lavish the wet element from above on us!
To me it is a sign of what is going to take place in the invisible realm. Our nation has become a desert of materialism and consumerism. People have gone dry and unfruitful. There is a growing hunger for spiritual realities in this society starved on God-realities! Even the more charismatic churches seem to have gone dry in the routine of predictable worship services. The interruptions and surprises of the Spirit seem to be missing.
The heavy rain is a reminder to me of the promises of God to pour out the Spirit on dry ground. It is an encouraging demonstration of the all pervading manifest presence of the Spirit to be expected in the days to come.
As we humble ourselves and pray heartfelt prayers God will have mercy on us and come in a powerful way to our nation so the desert may blossom and our people will produce the fruit of repentance and salvation!
