I Hear the Sound of An Abundance of Rain

Anyone feeling "the squeeze?"  The pressure? Like birthing pains? It's downright uncomfortable, to say the least.  We know good things are on the horizon, don't we?  I mean, we all feel it.  We know it's coming.   But what about now.  Right now.  Right this minute.  Discomfort, right?  How do we get through THIS moment? And the next?  Until we have what has been promised?

In my spirit I keep hearing, "I hear the sound of the abundance of rain."  I know we've all been waiting.  And waiting.  And waiting.  But this is not the time to give up.  Not now.  For I believe there is a cloud, the size of a man's hand.  It may not look like much.  But it is there.  This is not the time to give up.  Call to it. Speak to it. See it.  Expect it.

For even though the cloud looks small, with it brings an abundance of rain.  I King 18:45- Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.  The power of the Lord came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.  Do you hear this? The power of God came upon Elijah.  He ran.  Beat Ahab.  All that way.  That's what we can expect- if we don't give up.

Stir up your faith right now.  Yep. Even if you don't feel like it.  Declare the cloud coming, and bringing with it an abundance of rain.  Right into your midst.  No one can do it for you.  Don't depend on anyone else's cloud.  Or faith.  Participate in your future.  Expect the Rain.  And then run with the power of God.
