Rain, Ruin, Revival: Works of God

God will give Rain for Israel’s Harvests
God will bring Ruin for Israel’s Adversaries
God will cause Revival for Israel’s People

What blessings God gave to his church so she could be encouraged during hard times! Added to what you have already heard, God provided everything she needed for sustenance and for surplus. He destroyed her enemies from inside and outside. He brought the enemies to his side, to his church, after conquering their hearts.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ: Since you are the true Jews, these promises are for you. So…

1. Reflect on these blessings; let them sink in. You were saved by the blood of the Lamb, and you are now equipped with everything you need to do the work the Lord has called you to do.
   You have been fattened with the rain of the Gospel.

2. Ready yourself for kingdom expansion by knowing the Word and increasing your faith. Rebuild the church that is obviously weak, through effective evangelizing, through faithful preaching, through family discipline, and proper administration of the sacraments. Challenge Christians who have abandoned proper worship. Learn to fight every argument that raises its head. This is how Christ’s kingdom will expand.
