The Latter Rain Mindset. Part [9] 02/21/2025 (Morning thought)

Joel 2:1 Blow you the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand.

[Last Day Events pp 206] The Spirit is poured out upon all who will yield to its promptings and, casting off all of man's machinery, his binding rules and his cautious methods, they will declare the truth with the might of the Spirit's power. When divine power is combined with human effort, the work will spread like fire in the stubble. God will employ agencies whose origin man will be unable to discern. Angels will do a work which men might have had the blessing of accomplishing had they not neglected to answer the claims of God.

Great and critically important lessons are learned in the experiences of the early church, when The Lord granted the former rain. These lessons should never be lost upon the minds of those who are to give the loud cry. They are written in the Bible for a reason so that the remnant of God in our day may position themselves intelligently, in order to receive the latter rain with the understanding.

[Last Day Events pp 148] Let those who desire to be refreshed in mind and instructed in the truth study the history of the early church during and immediately following the Day of Pentecost. Study carefully in the book of Acts the experiences of Paul and the other apostles, for God's people in our day must pass through  similar experiences. Hoarded wealth will soon be worthless. When the decree shall go forth that none shall buy or sell except they have the mark of the beast, very much means will be of no avail. God calls for us now to do all in our power to send forth the warning to the world.

Joel 2:11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Latter Rain Mindset. Part [8] 02/21/2025 (Evening thought)

Zechariah 10:1 Ask you 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.

Thus, in order to facilitate those decisions spoken of by the prophet Joel, The Holy Spirit is promised in copious amounts, so as to bring home present truth to the forefront of the minds of individuals in a clear direct, and simple format, so that everyone will fully understand what is at stake. As the former rain was given at the beginning of the Christian church, on the day of Pentecost, so it will be given in copious amounts near the end of earth’s history.

The outpouring of The Holy Ghost, just before the close of probation, is given to gather in all of God’s people in one, and to finalize all those decisions that will be made by the ungodly. The unction is to make us function in the context of the very rapid conversions which are scheduled to take place, as the end of all things approaches. And we could be looking at sooner rather than later, the way how things are going.

Thus, the stereotypes, formalities, and traditions we have become accustomed to over the years would need to be revisited, and in some cases, discarded, as The Holy Ghost will lead. We must not become so entrenched in tradition so that we will be averse to the changes that would become necessary. The Bible teaches us that as many as are led by The Spirit of God, they are the sons of God and thus, the willingness to be led is what will be one of the most important characteristics of those who will be called to give the loud cry, under the outpouring of The Holy Ghost in the latter rain.

Romans 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good nigh” and God bless!
