The Latter Rain 1/16/16

THE LATTER RAIN IS THE DOUBLE PORTION (2KG 2:9)
HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND FIRE (MT 3:11)

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). Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. (Hosea 6:3)

In the fall, the Israelites could anticipate and usually received a 2nd great rain just prior to harvest. This is the Latter Rain. This fall rain would greatly enhance their crops just before harvest. So, it will be just before the harvest. Those believers who have oil in their lamps (or remain filled with the Holy Ghost) will be set ablaze by the FIRE of the HOLY GHOST.

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8). And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth ( Revelation 11:3).

Jesus said, “I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me” (John 8:18). The two witnesses are you and the Holy Ghost in you. Get ready for the LATTER RAIN.
