Family of God: Re: [FamilyofGod] It's Beginning to Rain

Hebrews 12:1 & 2 (ESV).

harvest of souls any of us have ever seen.

As believers, we've been reading about it in the Word and hearing about
it from the pulpit for years. We've been staring toward heaven so long,
waiting for it to come, that we've gotten cricks in our spiritual necks.
We've had this mental image of God pouring down His Spirit from some
sort of big heavenly pitcher above us.

But you know what? We've been looking in the wrong direction!

The pitchers God is going to use to pour out His power are right here on
