The Grain The Wine and The Oil

In the first biblical reference of the “latter rain”, Moses is instructing the children of Israel on what is expected of them.  We learn that through loving the Lord and serving the Lord with all our heart and our soul, it is God’s desire to bless all of us abundantly. “And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil”. Deuteronomy 11: 13-14
