Zechariah 10:1 Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
[Last Day Events PP 205>206] The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction of His Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them. Many, even among the uneducated, now proclaim the words of the Lord. Children are impelled by the Spirit to go forth and declare the message from heaven. The Spirit is poured out upon all who will yield to its promptings and, casting off all man's machinery, his binding rules and cautious methods, they will declare the truth with the might of the Spirit's power.
Therefore, let the laymen in our day therefore step up to the plate, being willing and ready to be led by God in the ways of His choosing, and the latter rain that is promised for the finishing up of the work, will fall upon those whom God chooses, fitting them up to carry the gospel to every inhabitable place on the earth.
We therefore end with a passage of scripture which reminds us that that which is prophesied will surely come to pass, and because of this, the laymen and ordinary people in our day should be found ready, willing and able if and when God calls them to stand in the gap.
Joel 2: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
