Ah, I'm resonating. I experienced former rain as a new believer, an undeniable infilling of the Spirit...then several years of semi-seeking, then seeking has illuminated...well, just illuminated, causing me to agree with Murray's "knowledge" for latter rain; I might say "Word;" soaking up enough Word into a personal understanding is, I believe "latter rain," or at least connected with getting it.
