I Hear an Abundance of Rain

1Ki 18:41 ¶ And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for [there is] a sound of abundance of rain. 42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, 43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare [thy chariot], and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. 45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

"There will be an abundance of rain that will come and it will come to this land, and it will come to those who have been weary—to those who have had a drought—but I will restore and I will not only restore, I will bring restitution", says the Lord. It will be more than what they have had before. It will come back in multiplication as you put your trust—your confidence—in Me, says the Lord

As I heard the Word of the Lord I looked up the word restitution. It means the act of restoring to the rightful owner something that has been taken away, lost, or surrendered

There are things God is trying to do to get the abundance of rain into His body, into His church, into His bride.

He is setting up the five-fold (The Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher)

I know there are people who reject it, refuse it, abandon it, mock it, but those people will be in their same miserable state 20 years from now that they are in now.

If you reject what God is trying to do you cannot and will not be blessed.

If you are still trying to do it they way man says you are bound for a big disappointment The only way that blessings come to the people of God is to harken to His voice and not the voices of tradition and the religous ways of men.

Deu 28:1 ¶ And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

God tells us that He will bless those who listens to the man of God and not a board, not religious zealots, but true men of God who will not bend to the doctrines of men

2 Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

You Have to ask for the Rain!

Zec 10:1 ¶ Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain;

Don’t ask for the rain unless you want to get WET!

Don’t ask unless you want a super duper extraordinary baptism of the Holy Ghost!

Jesus said, “how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Luke 11:13

Most of the Pentecostal Church doesn’t want the rain. It messes up church programs.
The Largest Pentecostal Denomination in the world the Assembly of God says, That we disapprove of Latter Rain doctrines and practices such as "impartation," "birthing," "Joel's Army," and the "five-fold ministries" taught as "offices" with "predictive prophecy," and other extraneous teachings "which, being unfounded scripturally, serve only to break fellowship . . . and tend to confusion and division."

I guess they disagree with Paul when he said I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; (Romans 1:11)

Impartation is what Paul used to spiritual gifts of the Holy Ghost into others. I guess they would argue with Paul as well.

You see the religous people didn’t like A.A. Allen, They didn’t Like Jack Coe, They didn’t like anything that would make them get right with God.

They don’t like Benny Hinn, They don’t like Rod Parsley, They don’t like Paul Crouch, and I can promise you they don’t like TJ Tipton.

And there is a logical explanation. THEY DON’T WANT TO GET WET!

Somebody say they just don’t want to get WET! They might mess up some of those PhD’s (Pentecostal Hair Doo’s)

They might mess up some of those $1000.00 Suits

Have you noticed the more of God that comes in to the church the more religious people get upset?

But let me prophecy something, There are people who are coming into this place that want a fresh move of God, they want the fresh rain to fall in their lives, they want the blessings that come with the Rains of God.

There are some people in the Church who wants to get WET!

The rain will bring not just blessings but extraordinary blessings.

When the rain of God falls the effects will bring accelerating. What use to take a year to grow will grow in a week.

What use to take 3 months to produce will be produced in 3 days.
What use to take 3 days to administer will take 3 hours.

I hear an abundance of rain coming.
