We are grateful that you
have tuned in today with us.
00:00:34.96\00:00:39.33
I want to invite you to take
your Bibles and go with me to
00:00:39.33\00:00:42.43
the Book of Joel.
00:00:42.43\00:00:44.60
Joel Chapter 2 and
you're going to need to
00:00:44.60\00:00:46.60
keep your Bibles
open to Joel Chapter 2 and
00:00:46.60\00:00:51.66
we're going to verse 28.
00:00:51.66\00:00:52.60
Joel 2:28.
00:00:52.60\00:00:56.83
I will read in your hearing
verses 28 29 30 31 and 32.
00:00:56.83\00:01:03.93
Joel prophet in the
Old Testament Chapter 2
00:01:03.93\00:01:12.43
verses 28-32.
00:01:12.43\00:01:13.10
If you have it let
me hear you say Amen.
00:01:13.10\00:01:15.10
Praise be to God.
00:01:15.10\00:01:16.00
The Word of God says:
"And it shall come to pass
00:01:16.00\00:01:18.40
afterward that I will pour
out my spirit upon all flesh;
00:01:18.40\00:01:24.13
and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy
00:01:24.13\00:01:27.26
your old men shall
dream dreams your young men
00:01:27.26\00:01:31.46
shall see visions."
00:01:31.46\00:01:32.40
Verse 29: "And also
upon the servants and upon
00:01:32.40\00:01:35.80
the handmaids in those
days will I pour out my spirit.
00:01:35.80\00:01:40.26
And I will show
wonders in the heavens
00:01:40.26\00:01:42.40
and in the earth blood
and fire and pillars of smoke.
00:01:42.40\00:01:44.93
The sun shall be
turned into darkness
00:01:44.93\00:01:47.33
and the moon into blood
before the great and the
00:01:47.33\00:01:49.80
terrible day of the Lord come."
00:01:49.80\00:01:50.93
Verse 32: "And it
shall come to pass that
00:01:50.93\00:01:53.90
whosoever shall call on
the name of the Lord shall be
00:01:53.90\00:01:58.90
delivered." Hallelujah somebody.
00:01:58.90\00:02:01.26
"Shall be delivered: for
in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
00:02:01.26\00:02:04.33
shall be deliverance
as the Lord hath said
00:02:04.33\00:02:08.73
and in the remnant whom
the Lord shall call." Today I
00:02:08.73\00:02:16.40
would like to take some time
to speak with you all on the
00:02:16.40\00:02:20.53
subject "The Forecast
Calls for Rain." God be with us.
00:02:20.53\00:02:27.83
Breath in us and through us.
00:02:27.83\00:02:32.73
May your anointing be
seen be felt and be heard
00:02:32.73\00:02:35.93
as we preach your
word from your Bible today.
00:02:35.93\00:02:40.86
We pray that God
hearts would be receptive
00:02:40.86\00:02:44.16
to your spirit.
00:02:44.16\00:02:45.16
Forgive us for our sins and
Lord when the appeal is made
00:02:45.16\00:02:47.66
I pray that individuals respond
giving their lives to you
00:02:47.66\00:02:50.53
in the name of
Jesus we pray asking you
00:02:50.53\00:02:54.00
to forgive us of our sins.
00:02:54.00\00:02:55.96
Let everyone say Amen.
00:02:55.96\00:02:57.23
And Amen.
00:02:57.23\00:02:59.13
The forecast calls for rain.
00:02:59.13\00:03:02.50
When I was growing
up my parents loved
00:03:02.50\00:03:07.70
watching the news.
00:03:07.70\00:03:10.06
And I must confess
today I hated the news.
00:03:10.06\00:03:13.63
I would only want to watch
the news to see the sports.
00:03:13.63\00:03:18.93
So I would have to wait until
the headlines were over wait
00:03:18.93\00:03:23.10
until the weather
was over and then I would
00:03:23.10\00:03:26.46
see the sports.
00:03:26.46\00:03:28.10
The funny thing now is as
I've gotten a little older
00:03:28.10\00:03:31.63
you can't keep me
from watching the news.
00:03:31.63\00:03:33.36
ABC I watch it. Live. Local.
00:03:33.36\00:03:39.83
Late breaking.
00:03:39.83\00:03:42.13
This is Channel
5 Action News. NBC
00:03:42.13\00:03:47.00
I watch it.
00:03:47.00\00:03:48.43
Eleven Alive news.
00:03:48.43\00:03:50.43
CBS I watch it.
00:03:50.43\00:03:52.80
CNN I watch it.
00:03:52.80\00:03:54.76
MS-NBC and sometimes sometimes
00:03:54.76\00:04:00.96
even Fox News I watch that too.
00:04:00.96\00:04:05.30
And the older that I
get I pay more attention
00:04:05.30\00:04:09.83
to the weather.
00:04:09.83\00:04:11.53
Will it be sunny today?
00:04:11.53\00:04:14.06
Will it be cloudy today?
00:04:14.06\00:04:17.03
Will it be raining today?
00:04:17.03\00:04:19.83
Is snow in the forecast?
00:04:19.83\00:04:23.46
I even go to the Internet
now to see the 10-day forecast.
00:04:23.46\00:04:27.53
And now they've got this
thing where you can read the
00:04:27.53\00:04:30.53
forecast and know what
is happening every hour
00:04:30.53\00:04:33.96
on the hour.
00:04:33.96\00:04:36.23
I was even looking at the
forecast for today and the
00:04:36.23\00:04:40.00
forecast called for rain.
00:04:40.00\00:04:43.16
Someone said to me
when I was there in the back
00:04:43.16\00:04:47.13
since it's raining
outside Pastor preach as long
00:04:47.13\00:04:50.33
at you want.
00:04:50.33\00:04:51.16
They're not going anywhere
because folks don't like to
00:04:51.16\00:04:53.83
go out in the rain.
00:04:53.83\00:04:56.53
There are car
accidents in the rain.
00:04:56.53\00:04:59.70
People drive slower in the rain.
00:04:59.70\00:05:03.76
Your hair gets wet in the rain.
00:05:03.76\00:05:08.53
Your feet get wet in the rain.
00:05:08.53\00:05:11.93
Your car gets
dirty from the rain.
00:05:11.93\00:05:15.80
You may even get
sick from the rain.
00:05:15.80\00:05:19.16
Most people don't
like being out in the rain.
00:05:19.16\00:05:25.16
But having rain
is not all that bad.
00:05:25.16\00:05:29.53
Because we need
water to survive.
00:05:29.53\00:05:32.36
We need water to drink.
00:05:32.36\00:05:34.03
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:05:34.03\00:05:36.00
We need water to cook.
00:05:36.00\00:05:37.90
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:05:37.90\00:05:40.20
And God knows we
need water to wash.
00:05:40.20\00:05:42.66
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:05:42.66\00:05:45.63
We need water to clean
water is essential for life.
00:05:45.63\00:05:51.13
What would we do without water?
00:05:51.13\00:05:52.50
Your body is made up
of more than 60% water.
00:05:52.50\00:05:54.70
Seventy percent of our
planet is composed of water.
00:05:54.70\00:05:58.70
Lack of water
leads to dehydration
00:05:58.70\00:06:02.13
excessive thirst
fatigue headaches dry mouth
00:06:02.13\00:06:06.63
muscle weakness dizziness and
00:06:06.63\00:06:10.40
lightheadedness.
00:06:10.40\00:06:12.43
Water is essential for
life and the more water we get
00:06:12.43\00:06:18.93
we get it from rain.
00:06:18.93\00:06:21.10
Think about it.
00:06:21.10\00:06:23.53
If it didn't rain our
land wouldn't cultivate
00:06:23.53\00:06:31.76
our seeds wouldn't
sprout our gardens wouldn't grow
00:06:31.76\00:06:37.13
our plates would be
empty because there would be
00:06:37.13\00:06:42.20
no food to grow.
00:06:42.20\00:06:44.20
So praise God that the
forecast calls for rain.
00:06:44.20\00:06:51.76
The Bible is
full of rain stories.
00:06:51.76\00:06:56.06
The great flood
that Noah preached about.
00:06:56.06\00:07:00.23
He said it's going to rain.
00:07:00.23\00:07:02.80
It's going to rain.
00:07:02.80\00:07:05.86
You better get ready.
00:07:05.86\00:07:07.53
And bear this in
mind God showed Noah
00:07:07.53\00:07:12.40
the rainbow sign.
00:07:12.40\00:07:13.83
He said it won't be
water but fire next time.
00:07:13.83\00:07:18.96
It was on Mount Carmel that
God showed up and showed out.
00:07:18.96\00:07:25.16
Elijah was hated by Ahab.
00:07:25.16\00:07:28.43
Elijah was hated by Jezebel.
00:07:28.43\00:07:31.86
Elijah was hated by the
people and when you're following
00:07:31.86\00:07:37.26
God you are going to be hated.
00:07:37.26\00:07:40.16
But quit being a people
pleaser and be a God pleaser.
00:07:40.16\00:07:46.23
God always has your back.
00:07:46.23\00:07:48.46
Elijah said you can call
on your gods but I'll call
00:07:48.46\00:07:53.70
on my God and we'll
see who's the real God.
00:07:53.70\00:07:58.56
God rained down fire.
00:07:58.56\00:08:01.76
The prophets of Baal were
no match for the Almighty God.
00:08:01.76\00:08:06.40
Ahab was no match
for the Almighty God.
00:08:06.40\00:08:09.53
Jezebel was no match
for the Almighty God.
00:08:09.53\00:08:13.43
God sent down fire he
sent it down to Elijah.
00:08:13.43\00:08:18.76
He set the altar on
fire didn't it rain.
00:08:18.76\00:08:22.80
But then my mind
goes to the New Testament.
00:08:22.80\00:08:26.06
When Jesus was on
the Sea of Galilee
00:08:26.06\00:08:28.96
the waves were
tossing the wind was blowing
00:08:28.96\00:08:33.30
the rain was falling
the disciples were scared.
00:08:33.30\00:08:38.23
The disciples
were looking for Jesus.
00:08:38.23\00:08:40.70
Jesus was in the
bottom of the ship.
00:08:40.70\00:08:44.26
The disciples cried out Master
careth thou not that we parish.
00:08:44.26\00:08:48.83
How can thy lie asleep?
00:08:48.83\00:08:51.63
Jesus got up from his sleep.
00:08:51.63\00:08:54.80
Jesus simply
said peace be still.
00:08:54.80\00:08:59.33
The waves stopped.
00:08:59.33\00:09:01.23
The winds hushed.
00:09:01.23\00:09:02.86
The rain ceased.
00:09:02.86\00:09:05.23
Let that be a
lesson also to you.
00:09:05.23\00:09:07.96
You can be in a
storm in your life
00:09:07.96\00:09:11.70
but all the master of the
sea has to do is speak peace
00:09:11.70\00:09:17.00
in your life peace on your job
00:09:17.00\00:09:20.06
peace in your home
peace in your mind.
00:09:20.06\00:09:24.70
Somebody knows that
whenever the Lord says peace
00:09:24.70\00:09:29.63
there will be peace.
00:09:29.63\00:09:31.20
Jesus even draws upon rain
in the parable of the wise man
00:09:31.20\00:09:34.90
and the foolish man.
00:09:34.90\00:09:35.80
He said the wise man
built his house upon the rocks
00:09:35.80\00:09:38.90
the foolish man built
his house upon the sand.
00:09:38.90\00:09:42.30
The rains came down.
00:09:42.30\00:09:44.06
The floods came up.
00:09:44.06\00:09:46.36
The wise man's house stood tall.
00:09:46.36\00:09:49.16
The foolish man's
house fell down to pieces.
00:09:49.16\00:09:52.80
Let that be
another lesson to you
00:09:52.80\00:09:56.06
that if you want
your house to stand
00:09:56.06\00:09:59.33
you've got to build
your house on the solid rock
00:09:59.33\00:10:02.83
you've got to build
your house on Christ Jesus
00:10:02.83\00:10:07.10
on Christ the solid rock I
stand. All the other ground is
00:10:07.10\00:10:12.16
sinking sand.
00:10:12.16\00:10:14.23
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:10:14.23\00:10:16.46
We need rain.
00:10:16.46\00:10:18.36
Water is essential for life.
00:10:18.36\00:10:21.66
And just like we need
rain in the physical world
00:10:21.66\00:10:25.53
somebody knows we need
rain in the spiritual world.
00:10:25.53\00:10:29.36
We need the raining
down of God's Holy Spirit.
00:10:29.36\00:10:33.63
We need a down pouring.
00:10:33.63\00:10:35.40
We need an out pouring.
00:10:35.40\00:10:37.70
We need a tropical storm.
00:10:37.70\00:10:40.00
We need a tropical depression.
00:10:40.00\00:10:42.96
We need a hurricane.
00:10:42.96\00:10:45.13
We need some rain.
00:10:45.13\00:10:48.13
We've got war in
Iraq war in Afghanistan
00:10:48.13\00:10:53.26
fighting in the Middle
East imminent fighting between
00:10:53.26\00:10:56.40
north and south Korea.
00:10:56.40\00:10:57.96
Crime is on the rise.
00:10:57.96\00:11:00.46
Recession is on the rise.
00:11:00.46\00:11:02.30
Social Security
is being threatened.
00:11:02.30\00:11:05.30
We need some rain.
00:11:05.30\00:11:07.56
And I'm so glad that
the forecast calls for rain.
00:11:07.56\00:11:12.26
God says my spirit
will not always strive
00:11:12.26\00:11:16.66
with man.
00:11:16.66\00:11:17.80
As it was in the days of
Noah so shall it also be in the
00:11:17.80\00:11:20.66
coming of the Son of Man.
00:11:20.66\00:11:21.83
For as in the days
that were before the flood
00:11:21.83\00:11:24.66
they were eating and
drinking marrying and giving in
00:11:24.66\00:11:27.43
marriage until the day that
Noah entered into the ark and
00:11:27.43\00:11:30.56
knew not until the flood
came took them all away and so
00:11:30.56\00:11:35.33
shall also the
coming of the Son of Man be
00:11:35.33\00:11:37.86
and just like the
forecast called for rain then
00:11:37.86\00:11:41.03
the forecast is
calling for rain now.
00:11:41.03\00:11:47.06
Let's look at the text.
00:11:47.06\00:11:49.60
Go back to Joel 2.
00:11:49.60\00:11:52.26
Don't start at verse 28.
00:11:52.26\00:11:53.53
I want us to start at verse 21.
00:11:53.53\00:11:57.30
"Fear not O land;
be glad and rejoice:
00:11:57.30\00:12:05.83
for the Lord will
do great things. "
00:12:05.83\00:12:08.86
I can preach
that text all day long
00:12:08.86\00:12:11.70
that God will do great things.
00:12:11.70\00:12:13.36
Verse 22: "Be not afraid ye
beasts of the field: for the
00:12:13.36\00:12:19.33
pastures of the
wilderness do spring
00:12:19.33\00:12:22.43
for the tree beareth
her fruit the fig tree
00:12:22.43\00:12:25.90
and the vine do
yield their strength.
00:12:25.90\00:12:27.63
Be glad then ye children of Zion
00:12:27.63\00:12:30.80
and rejoice in the Lord your
God: for he hath given you the
00:12:30.80\00:12:37.16
former rain moderately
and he will cause to come
00:12:37.16\00:12:43.60
down for you the
rain the former rain
00:12:43.60\00:12:48.26
and the latter
rain in the first month.
00:12:48.26\00:12:49.93
And the floors
shall be full of wheat
00:12:49.93\00:12:51.30
and the vats shall
overflow with wine and oil.
00:12:51.30\00:12:52.40
And I will restore
to you the years that
00:12:52.40\00:12:57.73
the locust hath
eaten the cankerworm
00:12:57.73\00:13:01.13
and the
caterpillar and the palmerworm
00:13:01.13\00:13:04.13
my great army
which I sent among you.
00:13:04.13\00:13:06.66
And ye shall eat in plenty
and be satisfied and praise
00:13:06.66\00:13:12.73
the name of the
Lord your God that hath
00:13:12.73\00:13:16.60
dealt wondrously with
you: and my people shall
00:13:16.60\00:13:19.83
never be ashamed.
00:13:19.83\00:13:22.96
And ye shall know that I
am in the midst of Israel
00:13:22.96\00:13:28.16
and that I am the Lord your God
00:13:28.16\00:13:30.26
and none else: and my
people shall never be ashamed.
00:13:30.26\00:13:39.43
"I will pour out my spirit
upon all flesh; and your sons
00:13:39.43\00:13:45.36
and your
daughters shall prophesy
00:13:45.36\00:13:47.56
your old men shall dream dreams
00:13:47.56\00:13:49.50
your young men
shall see visions.
00:13:49.50\00:13:51.23
And also upon the servants
and upon the handmaids in those
00:13:51.23\00:13:53.53
days will I pour out my spirit.
00:13:53.53\00:13:55.00
And I will show wonders in
the heavens and in the earth
00:13:55.00\00:13:56.90
blood and fire
and pillars of smoke.
00:13:56.90\00:13:59.23
The sun shall be
turned into darkness
00:13:59.23\00:14:02.70
and the moon into blood
before the great and the
00:14:02.70\00:14:06.73
terrible day of the Lord come.
00:14:06.73\00:14:08.83
And it shall come to pass
that whosoever shall call on
00:14:08.83\00:14:12.66
the name of the Lord shall
be delivered." The forecast
00:14:12.66\00:14:19.83
calls for rain.
00:14:19.83\00:14:22.10
Anybody ever
been in a dry place?
00:14:22.10\00:14:25.66
Ever been in a dry place?
00:14:25.66\00:14:28.40
When you're in a
dry place spiritually
00:14:28.40\00:14:30.03
you begin to question God.
00:14:30.03\00:14:32.33
What is a dry place?
00:14:32.33\00:14:35.33
A dry place is no job.
00:14:35.33\00:14:38.36
A dry place you're lonely.
00:14:38.36\00:14:42.13
A dry place no money.
00:14:42.13\00:14:46.50
Dry place you
can't pass the test.
00:14:46.50\00:14:49.86
Dry place your marriage
00:14:49.86\00:14:52.76
is on the rocks.
00:14:52.76\00:14:54.60
When you're in a dry
place and you're in the desert
00:14:54.60\00:14:59.43
it's dry.
00:14:59.43\00:15:01.40
Some places I have
found in my travels
00:15:01.40\00:15:04.96
are dead and dry.
00:15:04.96\00:15:08.56
Dead and dry spiritually.
00:15:08.56\00:15:11.16
And as things get worse
and the time of Jesus' second
00:15:11.16\00:15:14.23
coming gets closer
it's going to become
00:15:14.23\00:15:16.80
more dry.
00:15:16.80\00:15:19.03
But I'm glad that the
forecast calls for rain.
00:15:19.03\00:15:25.60
How do I know this?
00:15:25.60\00:15:26.63
Well we've already
experienced as we read in Joel 2
00:15:26.63\00:15:28.63
but we've already
experienced the dark days.
00:15:28.63\00:15:31.10
Those who prophecy on it.
00:15:31.10\00:15:33.26
We've already experienced
the dark day when across the
00:15:33.26\00:15:35.96
entire United States the
sun didn't shine on a specific
00:15:35.96\00:15:39.00
day and at night the moon
turned to blood. Look it up.
00:15:39.00\00:15:43.53
May 19 1780.
00:15:43.53\00:15:44.06
These events
have already happened.
00:15:44.06\00:15:46.53
They're the sixth seal.
00:15:46.53\00:15:47.46
According to Revelations
Chapter 6 and Matthew 24
00:15:47.46\00:15:50.16
which means we're
already living in the time
00:15:50.16\00:15:52.76
of the seventh seal.
00:15:52.76\00:15:54.73
It's under the
seventh seal that Jesus comes.
00:15:54.73\00:15:58.36
God is about to pour out
his spirit upon all flesh.
00:15:58.36\00:16:03.40
Now the primary application
of the text of the former rain
00:16:03.40\00:16:07.36
and the latter rain
is the restoration of
00:16:07.36\00:16:10.00
adequate rainfall.
00:16:10.00\00:16:11.16
The former rain fell in the fall
00:16:11.16\00:16:14.90
promoted germination; the
latter rain fell in the spring
00:16:14.90\00:16:19.33
and helps to bring the
grain crops to maturity.
00:16:19.33\00:16:22.30
In its
application to us God's church
00:16:22.30\00:16:25.86
the former rain and the
latter rain both represent the
00:16:25.86\00:16:29.66
work of the Holy Ghost.
00:16:29.66\00:16:32.16
The former rain or the early
rain represents the outpouring
00:16:32.16\00:16:36.16
of the Holy Spirit on
the day of Pentecost as
00:16:36.16\00:16:38.73
recorded in Acts Chapter 2.
00:16:38.73\00:16:40.20
Whereas the latter
rain represents the final
00:16:40.20\00:16:43.50
outpouring of the Holy Ghost
which produces a ripening of
00:16:43.50\00:16:48.06
the harvest in the last days.
00:16:48.06\00:16:49.13
The time of the latter rain
is the time of the loud cry.
00:16:49.13\00:16:54.23
It's a message of
Christ's righteousness
00:16:54.23\00:16:57.26
it's a sound from one end
of the earth to the other to
00:16:57.26\00:17:00.63
prepare the work of the Lord.
00:17:00.63\00:17:02.93
This is not
merely a little downpour
00:17:02.93\00:17:06.13
but this is a heavy
rain a heavy downpour because
00:17:06.13\00:17:09.60
as one of my favorite writers
in great controversy writes
00:17:09.60\00:17:12.30
the great work of the Gospel
cannot close with less power
00:17:12.30\00:17:16.00
than marked its opening.
00:17:16.00\00:17:19.16
The latter rain gives power
to the loud voice of the third
00:17:19.16\00:17:25.66
angel of Revelations 14.
00:17:25.66\00:17:28.23
It prepares God's church for
the coming of Jesus Christ on
00:17:28.23\00:17:33.86
the day of Pentecost with
the Apostles the disciples
00:17:33.86\00:17:37.80
according to Acts
Chapter 2 were filled with
00:17:37.80\00:17:41.13
the Holy Ghost.
00:17:41.13\00:17:41.93
Peter asserts that this is
that which was spoken by the
00:17:41.93\00:17:46.26
prophet Joel in Joel Chapter 2.
00:17:46.26\00:17:48.26
This was the former
rain the manifestation of the
00:17:48.26\00:17:52.16
spirit was to prophet to
everybody. Well the events
00:17:52.16\00:17:57.30
of Pentecost were but
a partial fulfillment of
00:17:57.30\00:18:04.03
Joel's prediction.
00:18:04.03\00:18:06.50
In other words excuse my English
00:18:06.50\00:18:08.50
but you ain't seen nothing yet.
00:18:08.50\00:18:12.23
The prophecy
great controversy says
00:18:12.23\00:18:16.16
is to reach its full
accomplishment in the
00:18:16.16\00:18:20.53
latter rain in the last days.
00:18:20.53\00:18:25.16
Then that means it will reach
its full manifestation in us.
00:18:25.16\00:18:32.33
That's why now the
forecast calls for rain.
00:18:32.33\00:18:38.00
God wants the Holy
Ghost to rain in us now.
00:18:38.00\00:18:43.03
I'm in church because I
need some rain in my life.
00:18:43.03\00:18:49.50
I've been in a drought.
00:18:49.50\00:18:52.10
I need some rain.
00:18:52.10\00:18:54.63
And the forecast
calls for rain. Now let me
00:18:54.63\00:18:58.50
be clear.
00:18:58.50\00:19:00.06
I'm a preacher.
00:19:00.06\00:19:01.83
I'm not a weather man.
00:19:01.83\00:19:03.80
I'm not a meteorologist.
00:19:03.80\00:19:05.56
But I can tell you
something about rain.
00:19:05.56\00:19:08.53
Number one let me tell you this
00:19:08.53\00:19:11.23
if the atmosphere is
cold before clouds are heavy
00:19:11.23\00:19:16.46
enough to precipitate
water molecules bond with
00:19:16.46\00:19:21.06
particles in the air.
00:19:21.06\00:19:23.50
So if the atmosphere is
cold you get snow. Now if
00:19:23.50\00:19:28.63
the atmosphere is cool
the same water molecules will
00:19:28.63\00:19:33.40
bond with cool particles in
the air and you will get sleet.
00:19:33.40\00:19:38.20
But if the atmosphere is warm
and water molecules bond with
00:19:38.20\00:19:44.26
warm particles in
the air you get rain.
00:19:44.26\00:19:48.30
I'm going somewhere.
00:19:48.30\00:19:49.56
So you have cold with snow.
00:19:49.56\00:19:52.86
You have cool with sleet.
00:19:52.86\00:19:55.26
And with warm you have rain.
00:19:55.26\00:19:57.90
Now when it
snows things shut down.
00:19:57.90\00:20:02.93
Things are cloudy when it snows.
00:20:02.93\00:20:06.56
Visibility is
limited when it snows.
00:20:06.56\00:20:09.53
When it snows I
know you get snowed in.
00:20:09.53\00:20:14.03
You get locked in.
00:20:14.03\00:20:15.43
You can't go
anywhere in a blizzard.
00:20:15.43\00:20:18.56
You can't go
anywhere in a snowstorm.
00:20:18.56\00:20:21.13
When you get sleet
the roads get icy and
00:20:21.13\00:20:25.46
seemingly normal
situations because of sleet
00:20:25.46\00:20:32.83
become very difficult.
00:20:32.83\00:20:34.10
It's hard to drive in sleet.
00:20:34.10\00:20:34.86
It's hard to walk in sleet.
00:20:34.86\00:20:36.06
You slip you slide
00:20:36.06\00:20:37.93
you fall in sleet.
00:20:37.93\00:20:39.66
But when it rains
rain has a way of washing
00:20:39.66\00:20:46.70
things away.
00:20:46.70\00:20:48.66
Rain refreshes things.
00:20:48.66\00:20:51.53
Rain makes
things clearer cleaner
00:20:51.53\00:20:55.16
brighter.
00:20:55.16\00:20:55.83
Wh you ask God to
come into your life
00:20:55.83\00:21:00.46
if your heart is cold
your life will shut down.
00:21:00.46\00:21:08.76
Your life will be snowed in.
00:21:08.76\00:21:11.33
You won't go anywhere.
00:21:11.33\00:21:13.96
If the atmosphere
in your heart is cold
00:21:13.96\00:21:17.63
your heart bonds with cold
particles and your life shuts
00:21:17.63\00:21:21.63
down.
00:21:21.63\00:21:22.40
If the atmosphere
in your life is cool
00:21:22.40\00:21:25.03
when it seems like
you're ready to move forward
00:21:25.03\00:21:27.16
that which would
seem like normal steps
00:21:27.16\00:21:29.90
you will find yourself
in sleeting situations.
00:21:29.90\00:21:34.60
Slipping sliding
00:21:34.60\00:21:37.50
falling.
00:21:37.50\00:21:39.06
But when your heart is warm.
00:21:39.06\00:21:42.66
When it's just right
to receive the Holy Ghost
00:21:42.66\00:21:48.60
the Holy Ghost will begin
to rain down in your life.
00:21:48.60\00:21:54.43
And I'm here to tell you
I've seen it rain so hard
00:21:54.43\00:21:59.10
that entire houses
have been washed away
00:21:59.10\00:22:02.13
entire communities and
cities have been washed away.
00:22:02.13\00:22:06.66
They've been
cleaned up and cleaned out.
00:22:06.66\00:22:08.93
And that's what the Holy
Ghost would do in your life
00:22:08.93\00:22:12.00
when you let him
rain in your life.
00:22:12.00\00:22:14.46
Holy Ghost will clean you up.
00:22:14.46\00:22:16.10
Holy Ghost will clean you out.
00:22:16.10\00:22:19.56
You will be a
new man a new woman.
00:22:19.56\00:22:22.23
If any man be in
Christ he's a new creature.
00:22:22.23\00:22:26.16
Old things are passed away.
00:22:26.16\00:22:27.80
All things become new.
00:22:27.80\00:22:29.06
When it rains God changes you.
00:22:29.06\00:22:31.76
God changes the old man.
00:22:31.76\00:22:35.63
God washed the old man away.
00:22:35.63\00:22:38.96
God cleans you up.
00:22:38.96\00:22:40.70
God cleans you out.
00:22:40.70\00:22:42.36
Let me tell you when it rains
00:22:42.36\00:22:44.06
let me help you
understand saints are
00:22:44.06\00:22:47.50
made out of
sinners deacons are made
00:22:47.50\00:22:50.56
out of drunkards
delivered preachers are
00:22:50.56\00:22:53.60
made out of dope
pushers prayer warriors are
00:22:53.60\00:22:57.23
made out of prostitutes.
00:22:57.23\00:22:58.36
When it rains
choir members are made
00:22:58.36\00:23:01.80
out of club goers
character builders out of
00:23:01.80\00:23:06.36

collectors fishers of men
00:23:37.60\00:23:41.90
out of fishermen.
00:23:41.90\00:23:43.80
If any man be in
Christ he is a new creature.
00:23:43.80\00:23:49.63
The forecast calls for
rain because when it rains
00:23:49.63\00:23:52.16
ravens feed prophets
prophets condemn princes
00:23:52.16\00:23:57.60
lions lay down like house dogs
00:23:57.60\00:24:02.73
Red Sea becomes dry highway
air conditioning cools down
00:24:02.73\00:24:05.50
fiery furnaces.
00:24:05.50\00:24:07.30
When it rains donkeys talk.
00:24:07.30\00:24:09.66
When it rains
the sun stands still.
00:24:09.66\00:24:13.53
When it rains dry
dust becomes fleas and
00:24:13.53\00:24:17.00
lice in defense of
the children of God.
00:24:17.00\00:24:19.36
When it rains stars
shoot across the sky.
00:24:19.36\00:24:22.66
When it rains rains
fall in torrents and in
00:24:22.66\00:24:25.30
gentle showers.
00:24:25.30\00:24:26.36
The forecast calls for rain.
00:24:26.36\00:24:28.90
Let me tell you all something.
00:24:28.90\00:24:31.50
God is about to
bring somebody out.
00:24:31.50\00:24:34.16
Let me tell you that again.
00:24:34.16\00:24:35.73
You all don't believe me.
00:24:35.73\00:24:36.56
I said God is about to bring
somebody in this place out.
00:24:36.56\00:24:40.06
God is going to bring
you out of your dry season.
00:24:40.06\00:24:44.33
Some people some places
00:24:44.33\00:24:45.86
some things are dead and dry
and God is about to bring you
00:24:45.86\00:24:49.03
out.
00:24:49.03\00:24:49.56
But you've got to hear God
say it before you even see it.
00:24:49.56\00:24:53.26
Let me tell you
something about rain.
00:24:53.26\00:24:57.56
Number two again
I'm not a meteorologist
00:24:57.56\00:25:00.36
I'm not a weather
man but I can tell you
00:25:00.36\00:25:03.26
something about rain.
00:25:03.26\00:25:04.36
Number two you hear
rain before you see rain.
00:25:04.36\00:25:08.13
Somebody missed that.
00:25:08.13\00:25:09.86
Let me say that again.
00:25:09.86\00:25:10.46
You hear it before you see it.
00:25:10.46\00:25:16.13
You hear thunder and
lightening before you see it.
00:25:16.13\00:25:21.66
You've got to learn to
hear God say it's going to rain
00:25:21.66\00:25:25.00
before you see
it's going to rain.
00:25:25.00\00:25:27.80
God told Noah Noah
it's going to rain.
00:25:27.80\00:25:32.66
He told him that
before Noah even saw rain.
00:25:32.66\00:25:35.30
You've got to hear God
say you're going to be healed
00:25:35.30\00:25:39.53
before you even
see your healing.
00:25:39.53\00:25:42.63
You've got to hear God
say you're going to get a new
00:25:42.63\00:25:46.06
job before you
even see the new job.
00:25:46.06\00:25:48.76
You've got to hear God say
you're going to get married
00:25:48.76\00:25:51.83
before you even see
that man or that woman.
00:25:51.83\00:25:58.60
You've got to
hear God say that your
00:25:58.60\00:26:01.16
son your daughter
your grandchild is coming
00:26:01.16\00:26:02.10
back to the Lord
before you even see them
00:26:02.10\00:26:03.50
coming back to the Lord.
00:26:03.50\00:26:04.00
The forecast calls
for rain and you hear rain
00:26:04.00\00:26:05.80
before you see rain.
00:26:05.80\00:26:07.50
So you better tell
somebody I don't see it
00:26:07.50\00:26:11.13
but I can hear it.
00:26:11.13\00:26:12.40
