                   The Outpouring Of The Latter Rain

A dam is about to burst in the Spirit.  The waters will be rushing and 
powerful.  The waters are not of destruction but of power, a mighty and 
powerful move of My Holy Spirit.  

Many will praise, some will rejoice, some will laugh and some will cry.  
For I will visit My people in this hour in a way that I have never visited 
them before.  It will be like the Day of Pentecost multiplied.  For this 
is the time and this is the day and the season that Joel prophesied about.  
The time is now.  The outpouring of the latter rain is now.

This is the hour of My greater works being manifested in and through you.  
The greater works will come through much prayer.  

In this hour, the bound will be delivered, the sick will be healed, the 
dead will be raised.  The deaf will hear and the blind will see.  This is 
an hour where for those who dare to believe Me, the supernatural will 
become a way of life.

For yes, in the natural so many of My children are being attacked from all 
directions by the enemy.  Many are discouraged, cast down and losing hope.  
This is the hour to lift up your heads and encourage yourself in Me.  The 
enemy is not after you.  He is after the anointing and gifts that I have 
placed in you.  

Know this day that I am a great and mighty God, a God you can come to for 
refuge.  A God you can rest in and hide in.  This is an anointed hour.  This 
is an anointed season.  Focus not on what the enemy is doing but get in the 
flow and position yourself for My supernatural blessing in your life.

The hour of doubting has passed.  The hour of fear has passed.  The hour of 
'Lord why me?' has passed.  A new day has dawned.  A day of pit bull faith.  
A day when My called and chosen ones will declare and demonstrate that I am 
Lord indeed.

For in this day and in this hour will My greater works be manifested in and 
through those who dare to believe Me and take Me at My Word.  Those who have 
put their hands to the plow, not looking back; those who have declared as 
My Son one day declared "Not my will but Thy will be done."  

Walk into this hour with rejoicing.  Allow My living waters to flow through 
you, for this is the hour of My supernatural power.
