The Latter Rain Movement

The Latter Rain Movement is a mid-20th-century Christian revival that emerged in the 1940s, primarily among Pentecostal and charismatic believers. It emphasizes a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, and the restoration of the Church to its original power and purpose. Central to the movement is the belief that God is preparing His people for a final awakening before the Second Coming of Christ. The movement has led to various practices, including prophetic ministries, faith healing, and a focus on unity among Christians, influencing many denominations and shaping modern charismatic worship.
