The Forecast From Heaven: Rains of Grace

There's a forecast in The Heavens. Abundant rains of grace are set to shower down upon the earth, drenching God’s people in rejuvenation of heart, mind, body, and soul; setting souls a blaze with the living flame of God. Fresh winds are coming in; the breath of The Holy Spirit can be found swirling in the air. For the rain of grace brings about the winds of change; for out of the cold winter of sin comes the sweet springtime of sanctification.

The renewal of the earth is coming. Christ wants to restore us one by one, thus restoring humanity at a whole. We have to be open to the grace Jesus wants to give us, to thus bring that grace to others. When we pray “The Our Father” we are praying for The Will of God to come down and reign on earth. Christ wants to fulfill “The Our Father” prayer within us, renewing and transforming us; conforming our will to His. As He transforms us one by one into union with Him; the world will begin to be renewed. Interior transformation of souls will start to manifest into the physical realm; bringing the light of Christ into cities on onto the streets. 

“This “third renewal” is ultimately the fulfillment of the “Our Father.” It is the coming of His Kingdom “on earth as it is in Heaven” — an interior reign of Christ in the Church that is at once to be a “restoration of all things in Christ” and also a “witness to the nations, and then the end will come.” - Mark Mallet from his article "The Third Renewal" on markmallet.com 

Have you ever wanted to just go run in the rain? Arms wide open, allowing yourself to be drenched in the rainfall? We love the romantic notion of “dancing in the rain.” Perhaps we should also be enamored with the notion of “dancing in the rain of grace.” Let us run to rains of grace, and let us dance in the showers of sanctity from Heaven. Let us engage in a divine dance with The Eternal Spouse of our souls, and allow Him to twirl us in the rain of abundant grace.  

We do not want to block the grace of God from entering into us. Will we take out umbrellas during this rain of grace, or will we dance in the rain? God is doing a new thing. Rains of grace are in Heaven’s forecast, and rains of grace is the rainfall that the Saints danced in. Let us lift up our eyes to the skies, and watch as the grace of God falls down upon us, transforming us into living, breathing, Saints. Let us go out and dance in the rains of grace, and allow ourselves to be cleansed and made anew. 

"Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness." - From the Marian Hymn played during Easter titled "Regina Caeli" 

Let us chase after the rain of grace Heaven wishes to shower down upon us. Soon the barren deserts will be overflowing with rivers from the rains of grace. 

"Behold I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." - Isaiah 43:19
