Our Guest Ron Phillips

RON: But many of them have turned their back on Israel. But you need to remember Dr. King’s undying support of the nation Israel. If you can get his message Knock at Midnight he talks about that, it’s available, he talks about his support of Israel and his opposition to abortion, by the way. I haven’t got time to go there this afternoon. I’m not, that’s a rabbit I could chase and shoot but I’m not going to do it.

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

RON: Latter Rain Movement Number Two started in 1948 with people like Oral Roberts, Billy Graham, Pastor Hagin and many others. There was just a huge revival, a healing revival and an evangelistic revival. Had those rivers ever really met we’d have a different nation than we have now. And also Dr. King came up during that very same time. Think of what would have happened if the social involvement of King, the evangelism of Billy Graham, and the anointing, charismatic anointing of Roberts had all meshed in the United States of America!

AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]

RON: Latter Rain Movement Number Two started in 1948, went to the Six-Day War in ‘67. In 1948 what happened on May 15th? Israel took their land! And the Latter Rain always has something to do with Israel’s possession of the land. But there will be a third movement but before I go there I want to identify what the Latter Rain is. I don’t know about you but I’m tired of spiritual talk. What is the Latter Rain? By the way the Lord told me in the words of the old rock and roll song raindrops keep falling on your head.

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

RON: I felt rain when I walked in here and I know there’s no leak in the ceiling. I believe we’re in an atmosphere.

AUDIENCE: !

RON: There’s a weather change.

AUDIENCE: Yes.

RON: There’s a glory cloud rising! Hallelujah!

AUDIENCE: Yeah! [CLAPPING]

RON: There’s some rain about, there will be showers of blessing!

AUDIENCE: Amen! [CLAPPING]

RON: We’re about to get into that Latter Rain and when I show you what I’m going to show you in a little bit you’re going to shout I hope if you got any shout in you! So I want to identify the Latter Rain. Now in Isaiah 55 this is where God says: Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters. You who have no money come, buy and eat. Come buy wine and milk without money without price and so forth. And then He says in that same Isaiah 55: Let the wicked forsake his ways, the unrighteous man his thought and let him return to the Lord. So he’s talking about a revival breaking out. But then He says, it’s the same place where He says: For My thoughts are not your thoughts. My ways are not your ways. Isaiah 55:8 and 9. And then he identifies the Latter Rain. I want you to know what the Latter Rain is. It’s not you doing a back flip over the pew. It’s not even your holy dance. And though I speak in tongues every day to strengthen my life it’s not your speaking in tongues. It’s not your jerk. I want you to know what it is so you’ll identify it because it may not come looking like you think it’s going to look. It may come with tattoos and a pair of blue jeans!

AUDIENCE: Oooh. That’s right. That’s right. Preach it!
