As a teenager, I knew an authentic baptism of the Spirit had to produce fruit and evidence. Among the nine gifts of the Spirit – the vocal, the intellectual, and the practical – I did not want to settle merely for vocal gifts. I sought the practical, asking God specifically for the gift of faith.
God granted that request, and for decades my ministry was defined by living and walking by faith. We planted churches, led evangelistic crusades, and witnessed miraculous healings. Yet, an inner conviction remained: God still has more.
That clarity finally came through the prophecy of Joel 2:
"The Lord will be jealous for His people... I will send you corn and wine, and you will be satisfied... Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord will do great things... He has given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain – the former rain and the latter rain... and the floors shall be full... And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh."
God is not finished. Beyond the initial outpouring lies the promise of the "latter rain" – a complete restoration and a greater demonstration of His glory across the nations.
