It's Beginning To Rain!

"Ask of the Lord rain, in the time of the latter or spring rain. It is the Lord who makes lightnings, which usher in the rain and give men showers of it, to every one grass in the field." Zechariah 10:1

"And the Lord went before them by day in the pillar of cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night." Exodus 13:21

"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

"That ye may be the children of your Father, which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:45

This is the most exciting hour to be alive, dear friend!! The earth will soon be full of the knowledge of the Glory of God. How will that transpire, Paul? Well, doesn't the Word boldly declare, "Out of your belly will flow rivers of living water?" From that water (anointing) will proceed condensation, those awe-inspiring clouds of His Presence, that long-awaited manifestation, for which all creation yearns!!

Perhaps, there will be a trickle emanating from one believer, depending upon his/her level of commitment and obedience. Another will produce a floodtide! Consequently, this planet will be flooded, as the streams of Glory combine to fulfill His promise, namely, that marvelous outpouring of signs, wonders and miracles!

Yes, the rain has begun, as reports of the Father's acts are received. There has never been such enthusiasm for those greater works!

Victor Jackson, former pastor of the First Assembly of God Church, Columbia, Kentucky, writes: "Only eternity will reveal all that was accomplished, during the Miracle Rally here. The doors of our church were opened to literally scores of denominational people, as Paul ministered the Word. I am glad to report that every person coming forward, and there were hundreds, was overcome by the precious Holy Spirit. My wife's twisted body was healed. One Lady from Louisville, with a paralyzed arm, was instantly restored to health. Faith in God's power to heal has been greatly restored!"

"I had been taking my daughter, Kelly, to physicians for pains in her back, hips, legs and feet. On the 7th of April, Dr. J. B. Leith Hartman, Houlton, Maine, told us that one of her legs was shorter than the other, thus causing the terrible discomfort. Kelly was, also, scheduled to see a specialist for her feet, because of being born with arches that did not grow. The doctor said, she would require surgery to correct those problems. Following prayer, our girl was instantly healed. During her May 2nd exam, Dr. Hartman confirmed the miracle, instructing Kelly to go home and remove the shoe lifts and arch supports. An operation would not be necessary." Mrs. Terry Boles, Oakfield, Maine

That Glory Cloud rolled in, once more! It was during an Aurora, Minnesota, service that two little girls, who had been born with severely deformed feet, were immediately made whole. The auditorium was filled with thunderous applause for Him!!

Years ago, the Lord imparted a vision of the Glory that was destined to be released on the earth, before Jesus' return. It was staggering and heavy, but held back by what appeared to be a very thin membrane, which resembled a balloon filled with water, so full, that the pressure was forcing the latex to almost burst. A small leak was apparent. That is exactly where we are, today. The Heavenly flood is eager to strike. But, it will be coming out of the Father's children. Again, we must be poised, standing at His table, ready to follow that pillar of cloud...Daddy's still, small voice, on the inside, those nudgings and promptings.

The Lord recently accorded a thrilling prophecy. "The coming Glory is hanging over the world, this very moment. That membrane is filled with unprecedented signs and wonders, the gifts and fruits of the Spirit, along with more souls, to be won, than the human race has ever witnessed! All that will happen, when the membrane is fully ruptured, via the intercession and obedience of My children. Nothing will be able to hold back the manifestation. So, continue to walk by faith and pray. Keep poking, spiritually, at that thin lining, until it breaks and spills Heaven's Glory all over the world. Do so, with intercessory words and acts."

Another vision was, indeed, breathtaking! People, all over the world, were falling to their knees, on the streets of various towns and cities, crying out for God to save them, accepting Christ without reservation. Most were healed on the spot...spirit, soul and body! The atmosphere was pregnant with Daddy's essence!

The Father's Glory is difficult to describe. But He accords glimpses of it, throughout the Bible, the first mention appearing in Genesis, referring to the wealth of God. So, Daddy's Glory includes His riches! However, it is much more than that.

In the Book of Exodus, the Glory could be seen preceding the Israelites in the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night. Habakkuk perceived that Glory as lightning-like shafts of splendor that streamed from His hands (Habakkuk 3:4). Think about that! You and I are the Body of Christ. He, of course, is the Head. Where are His hands? They are connected to the Body...us! Can we not conclude that lightning-resembling forces, that unction, emanate from the believer's touch to undo the works of the enemy? The Word boldly proclaims that whatever a Christian places his/her hand to will prosper. You have an unction from the Holy One. The excellency of that Power is on the inside! It's high time for us to know who we, really and truly, are in Him.

Glory means "heavyweight," as well. God is heavy with everything you could ever want or need. He is so heavy with healing, that if every person in the world collectively believed Him for complete recovery, there would be no shortage of Power to set this planet free.

In Acts 5:15, this heavy, weighty Glory was flowing out of Peter. As he walked, bodies were healed. After all, that man was representing Jesus! Lightning-like forces freely flowed from his innermost being, rivers of living water. "Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least, the shadow of Peter (that Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ) passing by might overshadow some of them."

It wasn't Peter's shadow that healed those people, but the field of Glory surrounding him, the manifested Presence of God.

Believer, those clouds are forming! Drop those religious, doubt-impregnated umbrellas, and prepare for the time of your life!

Dr. Paul Gervais
