Rain

It rained yesterday!!

Before coming to Mexico, I never cared too much for rain. It meant gloomy clouds and getting wet. But, here in Mexico, we have a lot of sun. Normally, I don’t mind at all, but when we do have a change in weather, it’s a nice surprise. As I was listening to the rain, I began to think about how it cleanses the earth. Today, when I woke up, the air seemed crisp and fresh. The dust had settled and the birds seemed to be singing a bit more loudly than usual.

The other Oaxaca Assemblies of God missionaries and I had a prayer meeting the other night. We prayed that God would “rain” on Mexico. We asked Him to open the hearts of the people to the saving power of Jesus and that those who are already Christians would experience God’s refreshing. One missionary stated that Mexico is one of the only countries in Latin America that has never experienced revival. Would you please pray with me that God will wash the people here with His pure water of salvation and awaken them to His Holy Spirit? May God draw us all nearer to Himself with sincere hearts and cleanse us.

Hebrews 10:21-23“And since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”
