Light... 1. Only the Holy Ghost’s Power within Will Change You Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20). Note that this scripture said, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US. It is an impossibility for the power of God to work in you with great force unless you have the Holy Ghost baptism. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you (Acts 1:8). For he [the Holy Ghost] dwelleth WITH you and shall be IN you (John 14:17). The Bible clearly makes the distinction between the Holy Ghost being WITH a Christian and the Holy Ghost being IN a Christian. The Holy Ghost IN a person is what will change him at the time of the Rapture. 2. The Obedient Hearts Will Be Taken And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey Him (Acts 5:32). HE SAID HE WOULD GIVE THE HOLY GHOST TO THEM THAT OBEY HIM. You are disobedient when you fail to accept His promise, and He promised the Holy Ghost to you. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call (Acts 2:39). The obedient will seek until they receive the Holy Ghost. 3. Anyone Who Limits God Never Receives His Best Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel (Psalm 78:41). Israel doubted God, and because of her unbelief she limited God and failed for forty years to go into the land of Canaan. IF YOU DOUBT GOD, YOU WILL FAIL TO MAKE THE RAPTURE. Anyone who limits God never receives His best. To be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and escape the Tribulation Period would certainly be God’s best. IT WILL BE A PEOPLE THAT DO NOT LIMIT GOD WITH UNBELIEF WHO ARE TAKEN. 4. They Received the Holy Ghost and Spoke in Tongues During the Early Rain Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the EARLY and LATTER rain (James 5:7). At Pentecost the early rain fell: But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel (Acts 2:16). And…I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28). In the early rain during the early church period, EVERY GIFT AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT WAS MANIFESTED IN THE CHURCH until the nine gifts and the nine fruits of the Spirit hung as eighteen perfect apples upon the perfect tree. The Early Church is our pattern today. THE EARLY CHURCH HAD THE HOLY GHOST BAPTISM WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING WITH OTHER TONGUES. 5. You Must Receive the Holy Ghost and Speak in Tongues in the Latter Rain The Holy Ghost had control and wrought mighty miracles in the midst of the people; then the devil wormed his way into the Church and she lost her power. That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten (Joel 1:4). Joel said this would happen to the Church and it did. For almost 2,000 years God has waited for the harvest of the latter rain; James said he had waited with long patience for it. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you (Joel 2:25). Yes, the Lord said He would restore the power to the Church in the last days. Now that power is here. THE LATTER RAIN IS THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST; YOU CANNOT BE READY FOR HIS COMING WITHOUT THIS POWER. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT JUST BEFORE THE COMING OF THE SON OF GOD THE HOLY GHOST WOULD BE POURED OUT, not a sprinkle, but a downpour of the Spirit. Why do you think He promised to pour out His Spirit on us in the last days if it were not necessary in our preparation for His coming? Again in Acts 2:18 He said, I will pour out in those days of my Spirit. Whatever keeps you from receiving the Holy Ghost in an age of the downpour of the Spirit will certainly keep you out of the Rapture. No one can be caught up in the Rapture without first receiving the Holy Ghost baptism
