One of the great imageries of the outpouring of the Spirit of God in revival is rain—a deluge of rain. The Psalmist says, “He shall come down like rain … as showers that water the earth” (Psalm 72:6). God Himself says dramatically, “Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness” (Isaiah 45:8). God promises, “I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing” (Ezek. 34:26). The prophet states, “Come and let us return to the Lord: … he will … revive us … he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth” (Hosea 6:1-3).
