Here is another powerful message I heard from God...........While I was worshipping God, I had a revelation to write on the former and latter rain spoken in Joel 2:23. While all of you read of it and be blessed, I would like to give the glory, honor and praise to God alone who gave me this wonderful revelation. It will indeed be a power-filled reading...Put on your seat belts to be safe ;), this could break you free from your bondage and will unleash a great anointing of God on you.
Former rain symbolizes the first coming of Jesus Christ which is related to his birth and his death on the cross which brought redemption for the whole of mankind.Here we see Jesus as our Savior, God of salvation and lover of our soul that made him a ransom for our redemption.
A. Jesus as the former rain in our lives causes the following :
Why does he have to say that "My people shall never be put to shame"...??
B. Jesus as the Latter rain symbolizes the second coming of Jesus Christ. As a latter rain he causes the following
In conclusion, I pray that God will make his former and latter rain fall on each one of us so that we will be washed by his blood of our sinful life, restored of all the former blessings in manifold in our health, spiritual life & wealth, filled with outpouring of holyspirit, prophesying, dreaming dreams, seeing visions and the wonders of God.
I pray that everyone who reads this will be filled with the power of holyspirit and spread the gospel.

A. Jesus as the former rain in our lives causes the following :
- Causes our threshing floor to be full of wheat (Joel 2:24) : meaning it will be time of great harvest in our :
- spiritual life : he will take us into a supernatural level filled with fear of God which is the beginning of all knowledge about him, wisdom and understanding
- materialistic life : as we have give the first priority in everything, automatically our materialistic life will be blessed wiz health, wealth and happiness in every aspect of our life.
- Restoration to the years that the swarming, crawling,consuming & chewing locust has eaten (Joel 2: 25): the first point speaks about new blessings, however second point talks about restoration of the former blessings we possessed. Locust symbolizes Satan, and by this we understand that, all that Satan has stolen from us, from your spiritual life as well as materialistic life will be restored multi-fold. I guess this is why men of God say that "When god blesses us, our Barnes will overflow, and there will be no room enough to store it".:)
- My people shall never be put to shame (Joel 2:26b) : This indicates that he will take away the shame that came because of the sinful lives we were living and will live.
Why does he have to say that "My people shall never be put to shame"...??
I was reasoning out the cause for shame, the one thought that came to mind was that it is sin that brings shame. And when we are exposed of our sinful life, we become ashamed of it. And here when God says "you will never be put to shame", it simply means that he will not expose you or make you feel shameful about our sinful life, but when we give way for him to become our Savior he convicts us of our sins and forgives us for the former life of shame and will make a new creation out of us.
B. Jesus as the Latter rain symbolizes the second coming of Jesus Christ. As a latter rain he causes the following
- I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh (Joel2:28a) : Post Jesus's resurrection he left his holyspirit back on earth before he could ascend into Heaven. Hence this indicates the last days where he will pour out his spirit on all flesh. For us to receive the blessings of Jesus as latter rain, we need to first receive him as the former rain, this in-turn will unleash the pouring out of spirit in an abundant way. Everyone who accepts him will be filled with power of the Holy-ghost.
- Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions (Joel2:28b): When the latter rain comes on us it will cause spirit of prophesy to flow through our sons and daughters and old people in our families will dream dreams. And young people in our families shall see visions. If any of us have not experienced this, its time for us to pray to God asking him to pour out his latter rain on us.
- And I will show wonders in the heavens and the earth : And finally this will cause our eyes to see wonders, every place we go. Eyes haven't seen, ears haven't heard the things he has prepared for his children. We will see a wondrous hand of God work in our lives, we will see the blind eyes open, the deaf ears hear, the lame walk, the dead rising..........Are you ready to receive it?...I am excited about it........... :)
In conclusion, I pray that God will make his former and latter rain fall on each one of us so that we will be washed by his blood of our sinful life, restored of all the former blessings in manifold in our health, spiritual life & wealth, filled with outpouring of holyspirit, prophesying, dreaming dreams, seeing visions and the wonders of God.
I pray that everyone who reads this will be filled with the power of holyspirit and spread the gospel.
