Gen. 2:5-7 - "And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: FOR THE LORD GOD HAD NOT CAUSED IT TO RAIN UPON THE EARTH , and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 - BUT THERE WENT UP A MIST FROM THE EARTH, AND WATERED THE WHOLE FACE OF THE GROUND.
7 - And the LORD God FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
In the beginning, God didn't rain down from heaven, but from out of the earth went up mist to water the whole earth. And out of this ground He created man. this mist brought refreshment to the whole earth, and without this mist nothing could grow, and stay alive. In man there is an ability to water the whole earth, but after the fall, and because of the wickedness in man, because of the defiled ground, God has to pour out His glory, rain from heaven, from above. But our desire is to be the vessel of God again, filled with the rain of God so that He can flow through us and His rain can come out of us, rather than just fall upon us. So the "mist" of God can go up from us, and heal, nourish, refresh the whole earth.
