Isaiah 44:3-4 NLT“For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children. They will thrive like watered grass, like willows on a riverbank.”Q: What do we do to prepare to receive this FRESH START RAIN? Sometimes we have to position ourselves / our lives where the rain is falling. Put yourself in the right place. Israel are brought into the ‘promised land’ not so that they could be free from defending on God for their food, water and provisions, but so that they would be even more dependant upon Him. Egypt was a agriculturists heaven, and the land of canon was a nightmare, unless it saw rain.

Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.Q: Are YOU present? Are you where the RAIN IS FALLING?Acts 2:46:47 MSGThey followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.What does being present look like?

They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. “But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards.”We are the people who, in the middle of a mess, in middle of a crisis are still smiling, still optimistic, still standing…. dreaming…..
