It’s Beginning to Rain

by Kenneth Copeland

“And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.... And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh.” Joel 2:24-25, 28

If you’re like me, right now you’re thinking, Oh man, I want to be in on this move of God in the last days. I don’t want to be on the fringes of it either—I want to be right in the middle!

You can be—if you’ll get yourself ready. How? Primarily by doing these three things:

First, prepare yourself for the greatest criticism you’ve ever experienced. There’s never been a move of God that’s avoided criticism, and this outpouring will be no exception. If Jesus couldn’t avoid it, neither can you. Be determined to pay no attention to any criticism.

Second, get the sin out of your life. You know how. Just repent! And make a change. There must be a new fire of holiness burning and sweeping through the people of faith in this land. We’re free people, made free by the Son of the living God. But we are never free from obeying the Word and the ways of God. That’s where our freedom lies.

Third, pray for the rain. Zechariah 10:1 tells us to pray for the rain in the time of the latter rain. Well, the time is here. So we need to pray for the fullness of it.

We must get in our prayer closets. Go before God and turn off the pleasures of this world. Turn off the loud noise the devil is making out there. All that entertainment is only meant to do one thing and that’s to distract you away from prayer and the things of God’s Word.

Don’t let it succeed. Instead start praying and using your faith. It’s time to pray and intercede until this outpouring bursts fully upon our land and the lands around the world.

What a sight it will be when it does! Years ago when I was praying about this final rain, the Lord said to me, I’ve been manifested as the rain. I’ve been manifested as the fire or as lightning. I’ve been manifested as the wind. But I’ve never been manifested as all four at the same time. Now, in the time of the former and latter rain, you’re going to see all of Me for the first time ever.

Think of it! A spiritual storm of the power of the living God. And it’s not coming in another century or two. Or even another decade or two. It’s coming now, so get ready for it! Glory to God, it’s beginning to rain!

Speak the Word
