Be
glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for
he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come
down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first
month.
– Joel 2:23

There’s a spiritual flood
coming. God has promised it. He’s promised us an outpouring of Holy
Spirit power that will bring in the greatest harvest of souls any of us
have ever seen.
As believers, we’ve been reading about it in the
Word and hearing about it from the pulpit for years. We’ve been staring
toward heaven so long, waiting for it to come, that we’ve gotten cricks
in our spiritual necks. We’ve had this mental image of God pouring down
His Spirit from some sort of big heavenly pitcher above us.
But you know what? We’ve been looking in the wrong direction!
The
pitchers God is going to use to pour out His power are right here on
earth. Jesus explained it this way. “He that believeth on me, as the
scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water”
(John 7:38).
The end-time flood we’ve all been expecting is going to be composed of living waters that will pour forth from believers. The
Holy Spirit within us will be the source of all the signs and wonders
and miracles the prophets foretold. And when we begin to fervently pray
the prayer of intercession, the flood of that power will begin to flow.
Zechariah
10:1 says, “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.”
Our prayers, our intercession, are
what will release the great outpouring of God’s Spirit. As we begin to
join together and cry out to God, the rivers of living water within each
one of us will join together and become a flood of spiritual power in
the earth.
So, ask, pray for a Holy Ghost gully-washer. Intercede
for the outpouring. Make this mighty flood of spiritual power a priority
in your prayer life.
Glory to God, it’s already beginning to rain!
