The Lord gave me the following prayer on Tuesday, February 6, 2018. I was commanded to pray it every day. He also told me to share it and ask that you join me in praying it every night. Why? He said angels have been assigned to collect the prayers. This prayer must be done until their bowls are full. As the Lord spoke, I had a vision of angels holding white bowls of incense. (Psalm 141:2; Revelation 5:8; 8:3-5)
The Prayer
Heavenly Father, the harvest is ripe. We humbly ask that by your great mercy, laborers be thrust out into the vineyards. You have waited patiently for the precious fruit of the earth, until it receives the early and latter rain (James 5:17).
By the mouth of your prophet Zechariah, you said we must ask for rain from You. ‘Ask of the Lord rain in the time of the latter or spring rain. It is the Lord Who makes lightnings which usher in the rain and give men showers, and grass to everyone in the field.’ (Zechariah 10:1). Lord, please send the latter and former rain.
Lord, fulfill your words spoken by your servant Joel. You promised that in the latter days you shall pour out your spirit upon all flesh. Lord, pour out your Spirit on your sons and daughters. So that they shall dream dreams, see visions, and prophesy (Joel 2:28-30). Pour out your spirit so we will walk upright and be the exceeding great army of Ezekiel 37:1-14. The dry bones that come alive with the four winds of your Spirit in us.
Lord, we want you. We need you. Refresh us. Revive us. Use us for your glory.
Lord, we have seen the sun turn into darkness, the moon into blood. There has been blood, fire, and pillars of smoke in the heavens. Your signs have been made manifest. Gross darkness has covered this earth. Now is the time for the light of your glory to shine. Now is the time for your light to dispel the darkness.
You have given us your spirit. You have written your words on our hearts. Father, for that we are truly thankful. But Lord, we understand there is more. So much more. You promised the former and latter rain, Lord. Now, Father, please give us this gift, we humbly ask of You. So that our joy will be full. And we will be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And know the fullness of your resurrection power (Colossians 1:9). The same resurrection power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. And seated Him at the right hand of the Father.
You said, according to Hosea 6:3, that you come to the earth as the latter and former rain. As the prophet said, ‘Only two months after the rain comes the harvest’. You have appointed the time of the harvest for such a time as now. Come, Lord Jesus. Give us the rain. Give us the tidal wave of your Spirit.
Lord, we need you. We want you. Come suddenly to your temple. Lord of hosts. Make us your habitation. Make us like Zion. Your strong city that shall not be moved. Be the light that shines perpetually on us.
Lord, our land needs the rain in this season. We need the latter and former rain. Creation travails for your rain. We anticipate your rain, so we will gather an abundant harvest of souls for the Kingdom.
Lord Jesus, come to us. We need you. We await your glory. Come, Lord Jesus. Come!
Lord, I am available. Mold me. Use me, Lord Jesus. Let me not be left out of what you are doing. I yield to you. Let your will be done. Use me for your glory.
Today I answer the call. Baptize me with fire! Renew my strength. Let me soar like the eagles. Open wide my eyes to see as the eagles. Open my ears to hear your voice. Change my heart so that I will always be obedient and willing. You said, ‘If I am willing and obedient, I will eat the good of the land’ (Isaiah 1:19). Thank you, Lord, all the very best shall be mine. I expect more from you.
I thank you, Lord. No more will the nations say, “Where is your God?’. For they shall see your hand. They shall know that by your hand you had done this. Never before have such wonders been seen by all mankind. Never again shall it be like this. We shall sing your praise for generations. The people shall say, “The Lord has done great things for His people.”
We shall be glad and rejoice in the Lord our God. He has given us the former and latter rain in the first month. We shall see a harvest of faithful disciples. They shall be filled with your Holy Spirit. They shall be yielded vessels. Vessels of honor. Vessels of Gold.
So you will restore to us the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust. We shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord our God, Who has dealt wondrously with us; We will never be put to shame. Then all will know that You are in the midst of Your people. (Joel 2:23-27)
Come, Holy Spirit. Release the latter and former rain. Come as a mighty tempest! We anticipate you.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. We thank you for the abundance of rain.
Why Pray?
Historical events have proven that fervent prayer brings tremendous moves of God. Moses was a man of immense prayer. His prayers brought liberty to the nation of Israel. With great signs and wonders, God emancipated them from slavery and dwelt among them for 40 years. Elijah prayed fervently, and the 3.5-year drought ended. Jesus fervently prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was in such anguish of his soul that sweat from his brow became drops of blood. Through his persistent prayer, angels were dispatched to strengthen him to endure the tremendous suffering of the cross. From 1906 to 1915, the most extraordinary outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the 20th century occurred at Azusa Street. In this area of California, a small group consistently sought God for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Under the leadership of William Seymour, they prayed every night for more than 3.5 years until God answered. What happened was beyond anything they had imagined. God poured out his Spirit with signs and wonders that continue to impact us today.
I know we easily get bored with prayer. If we do not see anything happen after two or three prayers, we lose interest. Now is not the time for us to do that. God is moving by His Spirit. The momentum needs to be strengthened. Please ask the Heavenly Father to help you overcome your flesh. Ask Him to place a burden on you for the salvation of souls. There is tremendous darkness in the world. Christian nations are turning away from God. Masses of people are adopting occult practices and pagan religions. Many are being enticed into witchcraft. The Bible warned us that evil will increase in the last days. That does not mean we are to be detached and inactive as souls go to hell. We must sound the alarm. We must become a militant church. One that shines light in the darkness.
Your prayer will shed light in the world. Your prayers are needed to birth reformation in the nations. Please set a time to pray for revival. The fervent and effectual prayer of the righteous causes much to happen. Let us pray without ceasing until we see manifestation. Let us be like the woman who pestered the judge until she got justice. Souls are depending on us. We must ask the Lord to send the former and latter rain.
Selah!
