Here in the heart of southwestern PA, it’s been very dry over the past several weeks.
We’re really in need of a “soaking rain”; not one that just comes and goes but one that lingers for a whole day and soaks deep into the roots of the vegetation and the soil.
That metaphor seems to carry over in terms of what I sense God is preparing to do in our body of believers when it comes to the presence of His Spirit in our lives. He’s sending a “soaking rain.” In other words, it’s not going to be a quick storm that passes and leaves us dry and thirsty once again; it’s going to linger and bring forth much life and fruit.
We had a taste of that last evening at the Refiner’s Fire event when an entire congregation of about 800 people lingered for 2 hours in the presence of the Lord ministering to each other, sharing testimonies, but most of all, giving praise and worship to Jesus.
It was a wonderful time of soaking in the presence of the Lord and preparing for the “rain” that’s going to come.
With anticipation,
Dr. Jay
