A Rain of Mercy

I was listening to music in the background and the instrumental was “jour de pluie” by Luc Gringas [ http://www.lucgingras.com/article.asp?noid=1&categ=1&langue=e it’s on the album Selah ] The notes sound like RAIN, and it is very comforting soaking music.
Ps 68:9 AMP You, O God, did send a plentiful rain; You did restore and confirm Your heritage when it languished and was weary.
I heard the still small voice say:
“To the merciful I will show Myself merciful ! To those who are concerned for justice, will I show MY justice ! To those whose hearts cry out for the lost and broken will I pour out anointing to break the heavy yokes, so that My people will go free. Who can dwell with consuming FIRE ? For I tell you that MY FIREY PRESENCE is at hand, and I will consume all that cannot withstand the test !
Jer 23:29 Is not My word like fire [that consumes all that cannot endure the test]? says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock [of most stubborn resistance]? AMP
I am accelerating the fire of My presence among you, beloveds, and you will notice a sharp increase in conviction, in deliverance, in healing among you, for I AM COMING TO MY CHURCH and I will TRANSFORM her into what I WANT. For many wolves have crept in, many enemies of the Kingdom, and spoiled My pastures, but as birds hovering will I surround you and deliver you.
Isa 31:5 Like birds hovering, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; He will protect and deliver it, He will pass over and spare and preserve it. AMP
I will cause MY RAIN to fall, MY REIGN OF MERCY, the latter rains have only been a dribble compared to what I bring now. GET READY TO HARVEST BELOVEDS for THIS RAIN is for a purpose. It is not only to dance and revel in, it is for bringing GREAT HARVEST. I am reigning and I AM RAINING DOWN RIGHTEOUSNESS and HOLINESS, and CONVICTION WILL BE STRONG. HEARTS will be broken and REVIVED to MY PURPOSES over those of man. HEARTS will be healed of all the ravages of the enemy.
Don’t grow weary in well doing, for if you persevere, you will REAP a great blessing ! For this RAIN OF MERCY will transform the most desperate SOUL. GREATER GRACE has come to you. The DOUBLE PORTION of MY MERCY is about to set upon you with a vengeance ! A vengeance against ALL that opposes MY WILL, MY PURPOSES, and MY KINGDOM ! I WILL FIGHT ALONG SIDE MY BRIDE, and she will KNOW that I have loved her ! THE WORLD WILL KNOW that there is a GOD in heaven who is ABOVE ALL OTHER GODS !
Watch now as I uncover the skirts of the wicked, and transform all warfare ! Who ever heard of such a thing, as a nation that is changed in a day ? I tell you if I make pregnant, will I not bring to fruition ? Will I NOT BIRTH THE KINGDOM WITHIN YOU ? FALL ON THE ROCK OH PEOPLE or the ROCK will fall on you ! CLING to ME and I will cling to you. LAY DOWN all your ideas of what I can and can’t do that have been taught to you by mere men. NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME ! PRAY for the RAIN OF FIRE – MY MERCY RAIN TO FALL !”
Mal 4:1-6 AMP
1 FOR BEHOLD, the day comes that shall burn like an oven, and all the proud and arrogant, yes, and all that do wickedly and are lawless, shall be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. [Isa 5:21-25; Matt 3:12.] 2 But unto you who revere and worshipfully fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings and His beams, and you shall go forth and gambol like calves [released] from the stall and leap for joy. 3 And you shall tread down the lawless and wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, says the Lord of hosts.
4 [Earnestly] remember the law of Moses, My servant, the statutes and the ordinances which I commanded him on [Mount] Horeb [to give] to all Israel. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. [Matt 11:14; 17:10-13.] 6 And he shall turn and reconcile the hearts of the [estranged] fathers to the [ungodly] children, and the hearts of the [rebellious] children to [the piety of] their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance of the ungodly], lest I come and smite the land with a curse and a ban of utter destruction. [Luke 1:17.]
Job 5:8-11 AMP As for me, I would seek God and inquire of and require Him, and to God would I commit my cause — 9 Who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number, 10 Who gives rain upon the earth and sends waters upon the fields, 11 So that He sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn He lifts to safety.
Isa 60:10-11 AMP
10 Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in My wrath I smote you, but in My favor, pleasure, and goodwill I have had mercy, love, and pity for you. 11 And your gates shall be open continually, they shall not be shut day or night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations — and their kings led in procession [your voluntary captives]. [Rev 21:24-27.]
Hos 2:19 And I will betroth you to Me forever; yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. AMP
Hos 10:12 Sow for yourselves according to righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); reap according to mercy and loving-kindness. Break up your uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, to inquire for and of Him, and to require His favor, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you. [2 Cor 9:10.] AMP
