PROPHETIC SCRIPTURE
Zechariah portrays Christ as “Yahweh:
Israel’s God; “The Lord Remembers!”
Zechariah 10:1: Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain,
so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every
one grass in the field.
We are in a prophetic season where God is calling on His
people to ask Him for fresh rain from Heaven. We need the rain of the Holy
Ghost to flood over us because the rain of God contains all that He is. It
contains His power, His refreshing, and His miracles. What we need from God is
in the rain of the Holy.
Isaiah 55:10 For
as the rain come down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but
waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to
the sower, and bread to the eater: vs 11: So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it
shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto
I sent it.
Without
the constant flow of fresh rain, things get dry and dusty. Plants become
parched and there is no life to be found there.
God is a God
of seasons and there are some things His rain produces in days past, is not as
sufficient for the present time. We need a new season of rain for the new
things of the Spirit to spring up. There we will find fresh life, fresh anointing,
and new revelation to bring about what the Lord wants in the earth and on the
earth in this era.
Call on
fresh rain over your life and ministry today and don’t become satisfied or
develop spiritual Alzheimer’s with only the blessings and moves of the Holy
Spirit from the past. Yesterday’s harvest and produce will not feed the future generations. Stop feeding
the message of Jesus on the cross, but the resurrection message of Christ
within us.
We need
new seasons, new rain, and fresh anointing to wash over us today so God’s
miraculous power can rest upon us!

Isaiah
59:19: When
the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD
shall lift up a standard against him.
A flood is an overflow of water on land. Well, what
about a flood or outpouring of the Spirit of Yeshua?!!!! Hallelujah!!!!
·
Isaiah 44:3: For I will pour water upon him that is
thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed,
and my blessing upon thine offspring: vs 4: And they shall spring up as among the grass,
as willows by the water courses.
Good God Almighty Church!
When you think of floods, you simply don’t think of a small amount
or trickle of water. Floods contain a lot of water, so much that it is unstoppable
and comes in and takes over! Whew!!! Floods speak of overflow. They don’t paint
the picture of barely enough. When God said that He will flood your dry ground,
you can be certain that there will be more than enough supply to fulfill you.
· Philippians 4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
However, because the water of the Spirit comes in such overflowing proportions, it also becomes a blessing to anyone who might be near you! Why do you suppose, in that same verse of Isaiah, that God’s blessing was also upon their offspring? That’s because your nearest of family is sure to get wet if the flood hits you! When the water is in flood stage more than one person will get swept up by the tide! Oh! Come on and praise God! Hallelujah!
Don’t worry about your children.
Don’t worry about your extended family member’s. Become more concerned
about the flood of the Holy Ghost upon your life. When you get drenched by His
Spirit, be assured that the overflow will run upon your children and closest relatives
also. Believe for that because it is God’s promise.
Psalms 133:2: It
is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard, even
Aaron’s beard: that went down to the
skirts of his garments.
That word skirts in the
Hebrew is peh, meaning the mouth (as the means of blowing);
particularly of speech; order; command; an opening, orifice (of a well, or
river); entrance.
Garments is middah’, meaning, an extension, in relation to height or
breadth; a measure (and its standard); vestment; stature; raiment; clothes.
The “garments” typifies the family. We use the term, “extended family”. Aaron was
Israel’s high priest. Jesus is our High
Priest, that made mention of His “extended family.
John 17 (His prayer to His Father):
vs 20: Neither pray I for
these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through
their word: vs 21: That they all may be one, as thou, Father,
art in me, and I in thee: that they also
may be one in us: that the world may
believe that thou hast sent me.
We are also included in
“them also”, that would believe in Him through their word. This “garment”
(family) of Christ our High Priest
will continue forever throughout eternity.
Remember, we the believers are the ones that gives Christ His Body: Ephesians 5:30: We are members (limbs; parts) of his body, of his flesh, and of his
bones: Of which He is the Head: Colossians 1:18: And He is the Head of the body the church.
Back to the “heavenly rain”:
God said, “Know that the flood of My Spirit is even
upon you and your family.” “For it is a life-giving Spirit, that is now taking,
all your dry places and watering them even to your next generation.” “For this day, see my flood upon you and yes,
it is even there for your children as well!” Said The Lord of Host!!!
Hosea
6:3: Then shall we know, if we follow on to know
the LORD: his going forth is prepared as
the morning (dawn; day light): and he
shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
It’s very interesting how the Bible describes God’s visitation as
rain. Think about it. However, it makes
sense, because rain is unmistakable. Is it not? If it’s raining, you know it!
You can hear, see, and even smell the rain. When God comes as the rain, our
lives are watered by the Spirit, enabling us to grow and bear fruit. When the
rain of His visitation comes, it removes the impurities and debris of a former
season. His “rainy” visitation waters the desert places in our lives, which are
areas where it seems we aren’t producing much. God’s rain softens our hearts
just like natural rain softens the ground. When our hearts are soft we can
receive the seed of God’s Word and bear fruit according to the Spirit that
worketh in us….some thirty, sixty, one hundredfold, and some limitless!
People of God, get ready…..get ready…..get ready…….
As God has already sent His Word!
”Don’t Limit God!”, “God’s Purchased Possession!”, and “A King’s Palace
Ministry!”
Get ready for a supernatural strength to TAKE OVER the land. It is time now for a world-wide revival and for you to acclaim, declaim, proclaim, reclaim what God has promised. Don’t back down and give in to despair. God’s plan is in motion.
I heard the Lord say: “The enemy has brought discouragement and
weariness upon many of the sons of God, and some are at the place of giving up.”
God is saying, “Prophesy to those dried and scattered bones, saying, you will live and rise again.” “Soon you will take over the land, and it will be just as I promised. I am bringing you out of the dry and parched desert. YOU WILL TASTE THE RAIN OF HEAVEN.”
My supernatural rain will awaken seeds and cause them to suddenly bring forth a long-awaited harvest. Weary warriors will receive strength and transition from a state of lifelessness to an elevated place of influence.
So keep
your heart pure and committed unto me.
The time is now. Even as the
Father has sent me, even so, send I you.
Go you, into the highways and hedges. Warn them, not to be deceived by
the enemy’s strategies.
The spirit of deception is attempting to grip them and cause them to miss what I am doing. You must keep your ear tuned to my voice. Refuse to listen to anything contrary to what I have spoken.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to
you, for I am calling you to another level of intimacy with me. The cloud of my
glory will release an abundance of a rain of wondrous breakthroughs.
“Therefore, be careful to obey every command I am giving you today, so you may have strength to go in and take over the land you are about to enter.”
Deuteronomy 11:8: Therefore shall you keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land whither you go to possess it.
God is drawing His people to a place of consecration and obedience. You will be strengthened to TAKE OVER the land that God has promised you. Passivity has passed for the Church. God’s people must live awake, alert, and moving in a forward motion. It is not the time to give ground to the enemy. It is time for you to take over.
Vs 10: For the land, whither thou go in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowed thy seed, and watered it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: vs 11: But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of heaven: vs 12: A land which the LORD thy God cares for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
Take note that the Scripture text above says, “the land you are about to enter and take over is not like the land of Egypt.” In other words, the land God had prepared for His children was not like the place of bondage where they had to dig irrigation ditches, giving themselves to hard labor, due to the fact that there was very little rain in Egypt. God brought them into a place where there is “plenty of rain.” The King James Version described the land as having “drink water of the rain of heaven” (Deuteronomy 11:11, KJV).
Listen people, God is promising you,
too, that the land He has prepared for you will also drink the water of Heaven!
God gave a warning to the children of Israel that if they became deceived, causing them to turn away from Him and worship other gods that it would cause Him to shut up the sky and hold back the rain.
Deuteronomy 11:16: Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them.
Webster defined deception as the act or
practice of deceiving, lying, misleading, or otherwise hiding or distorting the
truth. An example of the deception
that God spoke of was demonstrated in the Garden of Eden.
There, the spirit of deception first overtook Eve and then Adam. Satan convinced her to believe that eating the fruit that God had forbidden would cause her to be more like God.
The deception resulted in them no longer being permitted to dwell in the garden that God had prepared for them. Moreover, it brought a curse upon the ground to where they had been driven.
Refuse to allow circumstances, news reports, the economy, false prophets, or any other lying voice to deceive you. The spirit of deception that has attempted to rule in this hour is now exposed. Reject his lies and fill yourself with God’s Word.
Everything God promised you will come to pass.
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” (Numbers 23:19, KJV).
“So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
You will drink of the supernatural rain of Heaven. You are entering into a new realm of dominion.
You are not a victim of your
circumstances, but you are more than a conqueror.
God has given you the keys to the
Kingdom of God.
Victory is yours!
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him/Christ that loved us. (Romans 8:37 KJV)
Clap your hands and give God the highest
praise!!!
