Driving home from work, I heard the Lord speak to me. It had been a rainy morning, but now the skies were mostly clear and a pale blue clear. He had me look to my left and asked, "What do you see?" Answering I said, "I see a cloud."
I am still leading those who would look to me for direction. I offer protection from the ways of my enemies. Do not give up. Continue to look for that cloud of rain. It will rise up. Learn patience and have faith in the words I speak through you.
Draw away into me. Relax in me. I have not changed my heart. I am ever for you. Feed yourself of the bread of life. Seven times Elijah looked from Mount Carmel. He did not move away or speak until I showed myself.
Watch for me. Look for my cloud of presence.
The seventh time the servant said, "Look, a small cloud, the size of the palm of a man's hand, is rising up from the sea." Elijah then said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up the chariots and go down, so that the rain won't overtake you.'" 1 Kings 18:44 (NET)

Hi Steven
I had a dream last night (about 9,30pm SA time) on 16/5/09 in which it began to rain: I was walking uphill surrounded by a huge crowd of people and it started to literally pour down: some people were heading for their houses but I knew that I needed to stay on the road and carry on climbing: I had a sense that the homes that people were heading for were not the safe place to be - it was safer on the road, in the rain. I realised that I was carrying my child, a son, in my arms and as I looked down, I saw that he was not a baby but he was walking with me, holding my hand: he looked about seven years old: I lifted up my face to the sky and felt the torrent of rain come down and I woke up singing this song (I have not sung this song for three decades)
ITS BEGINNING TO RAIN
ITS BEGINNING TO RAIN
HEAR THE VOICE OF THE FATHER
HE’S SAYING WHOSOEVER WILL
COME DRINK OF THIS WATER
FOR HE PROMISED TO POUR HIS SPIRIT OUT
ON YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS
IF YOU'RE THIRSTY AND DRY
LOOK UP TO THE SKY
ITS BEGINNING TO RAIN
The turtledove is singing sweet songs of mourning
The leaves on the trees turn their silver cups to the sky
The silent clouds above are beginning to gather
The birds and their thirst so go and fly
<CHORUS>
At that first drop of rain that you start to hear- throw open the windows
Go call all your children together and throw out the door
When the rains of the spirit are starting to fall- fill every vessel
He who drinks his spirit will thirst no more

Thanks Elaine. Good advise. Too often I allow myself to become disconnected.
Prema, I've learned to enjoy the sound of rain, esp at night. Since you noticed the time of your dream, I'd suggest it is important. You might look for a 9:30 or a 21:30 verse that perhaps Father is wishing to minister to you.
