DIE TO
RAIN – EXPERIENCE RESURRECTION
PART 3 IN A SERIES
Jesus taught, “Except a grain of wheat falls into the ground
and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much
fruit.” [John 12:24]
If YOU will DIE to that thing, or to those things, about
which God is speaking TO YOU, you will see
resurrection!
One day God spoke to me to go preach in the open air in a large
metropolitan area during a torrential downpour of
rain. I thought, “I only
have one suit … and one pair of dress shoes!” I would always
wear a suit and tie when I preached.
It was raining so heavily for such a long period of time that the
water was coming over the curb onto the sidewalk. People were
actually taking off their shoes and carrying them across the
streets.
I was not using a loudspeaker or amplification equipment, just
preaching into the loud rain with my voice to the passersby. On the
way home my good black shoes were turning white, my suit was
drenched, and I wondered, “Did anyone receive Christ or have a
miracle?”
About four days later a man called me from about 1200 miles away
(about 2000 kilometers) and said, “I can’t get your name out of
my mind.” (An attorney I knew had told him about me and the
Lord kept bringing my name to his mind.) He asked me, “Do you
need anything?” I answered him. “I don’t need anything; Jesus Christ takes
care of all my needs!”
He said “Well, I want to do something for you anyway. Can you
meet me tomorrow at the South Coast Plaza?” I told him I would
and the next day he took me shopping for clothes. Every time he
would give me a $100 travelers cheque I would tithe out of it. He
said, “You don’t have to tithe out of that; I’ve already
tithed. That’s you money to spend.” I told him, “That’s
O.K. I know Who blesses me and I’m going to tithe to
God.”
I walked out of that shopping
center with eight (8) changes of clothes and a new pair of handsome
kidskin shoes!
I DIED to the rain (to my one suit and one pair of dress shoes) …
and God brought resurrection: eight changes of clothing!!
There was an important reason God wanted me to go preach, even if I
didn’t SEE it that day.
Another time when God asked me to
go preach in a heavy rainstorm, I didn’t SEE anything happen
at the time. However, in a few days a lady called me (I don’t know
how she obtained my phone number) and said, “You don’t know who
I am, but I was driving down Broadway and saw you preaching in the
rain. My husband is blind and he
was with me in the car. I described you to him and he said,
'I would like to meet that man.'" She was amazed because she
told me, “My husband doesn’t want anything to do with
preachers.” She said, “Could we meet you
somewhere?” [Note: the lady had mentioned seeing me
preaching in the rain to a friend in her city who miraculously knew
who I was (when the lady described me) and knew my phone
number.]
I felt the Lord impressing me to invite them to my home for dinner.
When they came to dinner, the Lord allowed me to lead the
man to Christ. About six months later I heard a loud knock
on my door. It was the lady’s husband. He came in and hugged me and
told me that about two weeks before he had been baptized in
the Holy Spirit, and healed so that he could now see!
I died to the rain … and God brought resurrection
power.
What is God asking YOU to DIE TO? Is it that power play in your
family or at the office, is it your impatience or your ego, OR is
it that interpersonal relationship at your synagogue, your church
or your ministry? What is it about which the Lord is … or has been
… dealing with you? Is it a person or thing? I promise you on the
authority of God’s Holy Word that if YOU will DIE to that, God will
bring forth resurrection life!
Remember, the Holy Spirit is God’s agent on earth to supply
the resurrection power of Christ!
Pray NOW … obey God, and yield to Him. Die to that situation,
person, or thing … and then watch God bring resurrection life and
multiply it around the world!
I trust this teaching will help you.
Your friend,
