There was drought in America many years ago, the churches agreed to pray that God may show mercy and send rain.
The meeting was set for 9.00am and the prayers will last for just 2 hours.
Charles Finney got there half past 8 with an umbrella, he started praying, when the other preachers and Christians saw him as they gathered to pray, they asked him, what will you be doing with this umbrella.
He replied, we have come here to pray for rain and it shall rain. They started laughing, mocking and looking at him as a fanatic.
They have not prayer for 10mins when the rain started, CHARLES FINNEY was the only one not beaten by the rain.
Charles Grandison Finney has stood out as one of the most widely known revivalists from pre-civil war America. There are many dimensions to the spirituality of this leader; passion for God, passion for prayer, and passion for revival. Few ministers in history have borne so much spiritual fruit and have ministered with as much raw spiritual power as this man.
