This is one of Jacob’s older teachings, Elijah the man who could make it rain, Jacob is reading from the book of James chapter 5:16-18, Jacob also references John chapter 7:38-39 and Isaiah chapter 44:3, Amos chapter 4:7, Rain is a figure, of the Holy Spirit being poured out, this is in the Old Testament and in the New Testament.
Jacob takes a trip down memory lane, he shares some of his experiences, before he began his walk with the Lord, Jacob also shares some of the events that happened in his life that ultimately led him to the Lord.
Some of you may not be familiar with Moriel Ministries, so I will take a few minutes to explain one of the things that we do. We try to help Christians to understand the Bible in its original context of the first century Church, which was established by the Lord through Jewish Christians. We try to read the Bible the same way the early Jewish church would have read it. There have been others who have tried to do that through the centuries, with varying degrees of success most notably the Plymouth Brethren. We believe it to be important in the Last Days to understand how to interpret the Bible in the way the first century Church did.
James chapter 5:16-18 New American Standard Bible
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective [o]prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed [p]earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 Then he prayed again, and the [q]sky [r]poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.
John chapter 7:38-39 American Standard Bible
8 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From [i]his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Isaiah chapter 44:3 New American Standard Bible
‘For I will pour out water on [a]the thirsty land, And streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, And My blessing on your descendants;
Amos chapter 4:7 New American Standard Bible
“Furthermore, I withheld the rain from you While there were still three months until harvest. Then I would send rain on one city, And on another city I would not send rain; One part would be rained on, While the part not rained on would dry up.
