This sermon reference is in Joel 2:23-32 and mentions the former and latter rain.  God says,” Be glad and praise Me.”  Live by the anointing of God sealed inside of you.  Feed your spirit on the Word of God.  How hungry are you?  “I will feed you  and you will praise My name.  I have dealt wonderfully with you.  You will not be ashamed, I have your back.  I will confirm you with signs and wonders on the heels of My Word and your worship.”

The former rain is drenching yourself in the Word of God, the knowledge and understanding of it making you a partaker of His divine nature. Verse 24 the wheat represents this feeding of your spirit with the Word of God. Then you will have an overflow of wine and oil= joy.  This represents the oil of the Holy Spirit and the ability to live victoriously.  He promises to pour out His Spirit on all flesh.  Prepare yourself for the glory.  Make Him a habitation of the spirit, a habitation of praise for Him to dwell in.

Daniel stood on the scriptures he found reading/meditating in Jeremiah and began to supplicate this before God for the freedom of Israel from the bondage of Babylon.  We are standing on Joel’s scriptures and supplicating that God will pour out His Spirit that there will be a move of the Holy Spirit in sozo (salvation, healing, deliverance).  We desire the fruit of spiritual harvest!
