Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Since the beginning of time it had not rained on earth. But a mist did rise up from the earth to water the ground.

Genesis 2:5...for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

They could not believe that God could or would do anything different than there own history traditions and customs taught them. But the Lord revealed to Noah,

Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah...I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights ...

The people had seen a mist, water the earth for so long that they could not see it becoming something greater. Today the world has lived with the convenience and somewhat the wonder of scientific invention that they cannot see anything beyond what natural world of the five senses can demonstrate. Those that do believe in something more, are often trapped somewhere along the spiritual spectrum of orthodox to new age religion or other forms of superstition and even outright atheism. As Jesus said very few find the path that leads to eternal life in your daily living. They had lived with and in the mist for so long they could not see any other thing taking place. IN this same way the people of God have had the same historical, liturgical and some even spiritual experience for so long, it is hard to see something greater then we have traditionally experienced. But Father God is ready to anoint us, in and with His power in a way that has NEVER happen ed before.

It is written in the gospel of St. John, that this Word became Flesh and dwelt among us. It had never happened before, but the scripture states that HE WAS IN THE WORLD. But it was not in the nature of man to see beyond his humanity and behold the Son of God.

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

But to those who did receive Him gave He hem the power to become something that other wise would have been impossible. His birth was changing things. The birth of the Church Age on the Day of Pentecost was something never before seen. It would have previously been impossible yet became known as having turned the world upside down. Father God was changing things again.

Acts 17:6 These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

The church came forth on the day of Pentecost according to acts chapter 2. But that day was only the beginning of the rain (anointing of God). A type foreshadowed in the life of the Prophet Elijah. Elijah prophesied of rain to come even though it had not rained for three and a half years and a terrible season of drought and famine had been upon the lane. He saw the rain coming in the form of a cloud over the sea in the form of a man' s hand. The Hand of the Lord was often used as a symbol of His anointing power throughout the Old Testament Prophets.

Jeremiah 1: 9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. Daniel 10:10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

So the Hand represents the power, reach and ability of God out of heaven to act in, through and upon the earth. The hand is additionally one of the Old Testament types pointing to the coming of the Five Fold or Hand ministry of the Lord as described by St. Paul in his epistle to the Ephesians.

Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.

Now lets begin to gather together the precious fragments of truth and discover what is hidden within the inner and secret place of the Most High God. The five fold ministry represents the first elements of His ministry in the earth to perfect the saints and bring forth a company of sons in the image and likeness of Christ. But the hand of the Lord will not be the definition of the ministry that transforms the earth to shine with His glory. That is the privilege of those Sons who appear with Him, In Him, and As Him in His Fullness of Glory and Power upon the earth. Because Israel celebrated a third feast before God in Jerusalem called The Feast of Tabernacles. Celebrated in the seventh month and prophesies of a much greater outpouring of God's character and nature than has ever been seen before. Don't be clouded by the mist of external and traditional flesh religion, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. God has a specific plan and purpose for YOU. That is why He has birthed the Faith of Christ in you.

The people of Noah's day had lived in a MIST for so long they could mot see anything greater called rain coming that could effect their lives so they did not pay attention. This was the whole meaning of Jesus' teaching. They were distracted and completely unaware of what was actually happening until it happened. But Noah had heard the WORD of the Lord ahead of time and prepared something that saved His family and the whole world. When Noah's Ark came to a place of rest on top of Mount Ararat it was in the seventh month. Ararat, means the Curse is reversed. Noah had RISEN tea place that pleased Jehovah, so that God reversed Ms own Word.

Genesis 7:21 ... and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's hear is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite anymore every thing living, as I have come.

The scriptures are not history but present truth. God is causing a people of rest to ascend and see something that can only be seen in a high and holy place. To experience Him in ways we have never known before. The mist of traditions, superstition, fear and uncertainty has yielded to a divine rain of the Spirit fulfilling itself in and among us with no more curse, death or fear to ever be known again. God is wiping every tear from our eyes/though we see the fiery judgment upon the earth that tries the hearts of men who have not found this great and precious faith. But we are filled with LOVE, COMPASSION, KNOWLEDGE AND HELPS. Because we know the hope of al creation awaits the glorious appearing of sons. A FEAST of TABERNACLES; not just one, a multitude without number. The prophet Enoch ages before saw down through time to a day when a rain of the anointing power in and through the saints would render judgment and power in the earth.

Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

You my beloved friend arc His handiwork. God's special love will touch you in the days ahead as never before. You are His precious jewel found in the earth that He has giver all He has to purchase. Therefore He has anointed you with the oil of gladness above all thy fellows.
