Healing Rain

We have been in an interesting situation here in North Carolina for the last year or so. Drought has been the word we have all heard and feared. Lack of rain has been a problem and “man” has been trying to fix it. Water conservation, higher utility prices, even fines attached to those who wantonly waste water.
In the Word, water is an example of the flow of the Holy Spirit. There are over 620 references to water in the Scriptures.
How interesting that we would be in a physical drought that mirrors the spiritual drought that we’ve brought on ourselves as a nation by turning our backs on God. Have you been praying for rain? For our nation, or for yourself? I believe we must pray for a Healing Rain for both. Michael W. Smith has written a song that talks about God’s healing rain:
Healing rain is coming down
It’s coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It’s bringing mercy, it won’t be long
Healing rain is coming down
It’s coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus’ name
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I’m not afraid
To be washed in Heaven’s rain
Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain
And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the Great I Am
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I’m not afraid
To be washed in Heaven’s rain
To be washed in Heaven’s rain…
Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid…
We must not be afraid of what God is doing in us through His healing rain, and we must also be praying for it to fall.
