Rain can be a picture of God. If you’re in Christ, His power is used for your good—you receive blessings and favor through Jesus’ finished work at the cross.
Jesus shows Himself as a Lamb to you.
“The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it. In the light of the king’s face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.” (Proverbs 16:14-15 WEB)
However if you’re not in Christ (an unbeliever), then His storm clouds of judgment still hangs over your head and if you die without receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior, you won’t be allowed to enter Heaven.
Jesus will show Himself as a fierce and mighty Lion to be against you.
Your sinful spirit will have to descend to Hell and at the end of time, you will stand in judgment before Jesus’ throne to receive a sentence of condemnation before being cast into the final destination for the wicked: the lake of fire.
“I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15 WEB)
If you’re in Christ, don’t forget to keep asking for rain.
God specified springtime because your blessings are only going to be ready for harvest in due season.
“I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.” (Ezekiel 34:26 WEB)
You won’t know when its your springtime so just keep asking for your harvest of blessings!
As you keep receiving the rain of God’s word through studying the Bible through the Lens of Grace and hearing Christ-centered sermons at church, faith-filled praying will happen as a fruit of your right believing.
Your blessings will quickly manifest in due season—believe and receive them!
