Something New Has Begun!
By Becky Porter
I see a vision of a white porcelain teacup and it is
empty. Now I see one single drop of
liquid coming down from the heavenlies into the cup in slow motion – it as if
the spiritual camera has zoomed all the way in on this single drop of liquid
and the process that is now taking place, and it is as if nothing else of
importance exists at this moment. Not
only are certain details of this picture magnified, but the sound is magnified
as well. As the drop of liquid hits the
inside of the cup it makes a loud noise, and the entire time this process is
taking place, absolutely NO sound can be heard in the environment around it –
all is quiet, until that one drop hits, and then suddenly all of the surrounding
noises can once again be heard – it is almost as if the world paused, and time
froze for that one moment. It was of
the utmost importance for us to see that one single drop of liquid come down
from heaven into the empty cup – it holds much spiritual significance. To the casual onlooker that drop of liquid
entering the cup means absolutely nothing, but to the saints who have been
waiting with great anticipation, it means everything!
This single drop of liquid signifies that something new has
begun – a process the body of Christ has been waiting many years for, and they
have been waiting with great anticipation.
Upon pondering what the drop of liquid signifies, I heard the Lord say,
“The Latter Rain has begun!"
Hallelujah!!!
I see a vision of people sitting on wooden benches outside
an old fashioned train station, and every now and then they lean forward and
look down the train tracks to their left, with a look of great anticipation
upon their faces. They have grown quite
accustomed to sitting there waiting and watching, and though they know the
Glory Train God has promised them will come one day, at times they have grown
weary of waiting and watching, (and yet seeing nothing), and as a result some
of them have fallen asleep or gotten caught up in the conversations and other
distractions that are taking place all around them.
Seemingly out of nowhere, an angel appears on the platform,
and he begins to blow a trumpet very loudly.
It is a trumpet of announcement to get the attention of those who are
listening. Not everybody can hear the
trumpet – only those who are still watching, waiting and listening! As soon as people hear the trumpet blast
they come to attention and there is much excitement, expectancy, and activity
as they spring into action, for they desire to be ready to welcome the glory
train, and to welcome the King of Glory!
I see some of the women smooth out the wrinkles on their clothes, and
they smooth their hair, wanting to make sure they are presentable. I also see some of the men tuck their shirts
in and comb their hair. They are
getting ready for the King of Glory and they desire to present themselves to
Him without spot or wrinkle!
As the train comes around the bend and down the tracks, the
closer the train gets, the more the people’s faces begin to shine with the
glory of God! It is quite amazing to
watch – their faces are lit up very brightly with His glory, and I see gold
dust on their faces that sparkles when the light hits it. I expected the train to stop at the train station,
but I see that the train has flashed on by very quickly, and as it does some of
the people on the platform who have been watching and waiting, (and who are
awake), suddenly disappear off the platform and they are now being carried
along on the Glory Train! There are
others still on the platform, and I see that many of them just received their
miracle – the miracle that they have been praying and believing for, for many
years. As the people on the platform
realize what has just taken place and what they have now received, I see them
begin to rejoice and worship the Lord with utter abandonment, and the glory of
God is all over them in GREAT measure!
Even in that brief moment of time as the train whizzed by, they had a
supernatural encounter with God and they came face to face with the King of
Glory. This divine encounter has
forever changed their lives, and now they have become carriers of His glory!
I asked the Lord about the people who had been picked up by
the train and He said:
“They have now become One with Me and I AM dispersing them
all across the land – I AM carrying them to their destinations in Me. Many of them are called to preach and teach
(among many other things), and they will travel to the far corners of the
earth, carrying My glory with them and changing lives wherever they go. They will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and
in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth! The Sons of Thunder will be among the ones
who are upon this train.
The train carries those promises you have been waiting for
and desiring to see. Line up everyone,
line up, for I will distribute these gifts to those who have made a dwelling
place for Me – a place of habitation. I
AM looking for a Bride without spot or blemish – will you be among those found
ready? Rejoice, for your redemption
draweth nigh. Just a little while
longer and you will see those things you have been waiting and desiring to see. Believe Me, it will be well worth the wait!”
Special Note: When the Lord said that the “Sons of Thunder”
would be among those found on the Glory Train, I knew He was referring to the
Sons of Thunder that James Ryle had written about when he shared some dreams
that God gave him beginning in August 1990.
Here is a short excerpt by James Ryle:
“Immediately the dream
changed. I had these two photographs in my left hand and a parchment scroll in
my right hand. I looked at that scroll and it was a letter written by an
unknown soldier of the Salvation Army forty years ago. It was signed Unknown
Soldier. I read this letter and it was a prophecy. It said that the time
would come when the Lord God will release into the streets an army of
worshipping warriors known as the 'Sons of Thunder'. They will bring forth
praise into the streets that will birth evangelism and praise and give many
children to God.”

I hear the words:
He puts straight paths before my feet; His banner over me is love.
Joel 2:23-29 NKJV
Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD
your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause
the rain to come down for you— The former rain, and the latter rain in the
first month. The threshing floors shall
be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the
swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the
chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.”
James 5:7-8 NKJV
Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the
Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting
patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 You also be
patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Acts 1:8 NIV
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on
you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 AMP
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all
your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and
acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Song of Solomon 2:4 AMP
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over
me was love.
