We also have the Holy Spirit that guides us into all truth, however, the truth that the Holy Spirit guides us into is what is in harmony with the Word of God itself. Of course, by the Word of God, I am referring to the Old and New Testament Scriptures.

Operation Global Rain is following this counsel:



Joel 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

2:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

2:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

2:27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and [that] I [am] the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Just curious if any ones church is participating the "Operation Global Rain" that begins today and continues through July 7?

Haven't heard anything about this, neither from the local church, nor from the conference.

I learned in our church on Sabbath that at least two of our churches within our conference are doing this.

This time of year our local church regularly has visitors from various churches within our conference, which is how I learned abot this.

Daryl how often does your pastor speak at your church? I am assuming he has several churches?

I gather that you often speak as well? Do others of the congregation as well?

Our pastor speaks at our church on the first and third Sabbath of each month. This is a district of three churches. One of the three churches meets in the afternoon.

There are five of us who take turns on the other Sabbaths.

We participated in this, but we knew it as the Ten Days of Prayer...

"Ten Days of Prayer initiative (formerly called Operation Global Rain) was adopted by the world church in 2010. Churches in over a hundred countries have received rich blessings through Ten Days of Prayer which occurs every January. God is faithful! The Ten Days experience can?t be quantified. Hearts are surrendered, souls convicted, and requests for prayer have been answered...."

It was a blessing, and the members in church would share it with even those outside of the Adventist church. But lately we have not gotten the pamphlets and study booklets we used to before, but it still is held in January... https://www.tendaysofprayer.org/
