Upon recovering from being sick and feeling the need for a nap, I was trying to rehearse verses from Acts 2:38-42 (yes, not ‘only’ for memory-sake but also to put myself to sleep!) and this Thought came to me: if God supernaturally birthed His Church in Jerusalem, a City purportedly similar in population and climate and topography to Simi Valley, adding 3,000 souls in one day, then establishing house-to-house, ‘favor spots,’ etc., how much more…HERE and NOW…in my town since childhood and in these Last Days, for He promised that the “Latter Rain would be greater than the Former Rain” (purportedly, physically/naturally true in Israel to this day) and that He would “pour out the Latter Rain WITH the Former Rain,” prophesying an even bigger and better and more sustained move of God than before. Specific to Simi, in the early 1990s, the man of God, Dutchie Clayton, preached a message for us in church that also included a supernatural/rhema Word of Prophecy, where Jesus declared through him that ‘these hills are Mine, this Valley is Mine, these souls are Mine,” etc., promising His R.O.A.R.* here in our future…which I believe is NOW, “for surely, He comes quickly!” (*R.O.A.R.= R-Restorative, O-Overcoming, A-Awakening & R-Revival.)
